Thanks. I was losing weight. I just put my weight in and that I wanted to lose a pound a week and it came up with 1400. I haven't a clue what my maintenance is and I also haven't changed it now that I've lost weight. I'll check that. Thanks!

I weigh myself the same way within an hour of time each morning. Wha's TDEE?

Yes! I weigh everything. My calorie count is 1400 and most days I'm 50-100 under.

Okie dokie just checking. Thanks!!

Is there a place that shows my weekly calorie total or do I have to just add it up myself?

Wow, that's frightening and sad. I'm pitching mine. I haven't taken them in forever but that's just plain scary. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing that! I was loosing my mind but knowing it's the whoosh phenomenon makes sense. This article was an easy read. http://leanmuscleproject.com/how-whooshes-impact-your-weight-loss/

Not sure how to add but id love to be added. I decided I need to do something about my body at a Christian Womens Retreat ironically.

I've lost 5 pounds so far just by sticking to my calorie goal. I've lost one pound a week and it is so rewarding! My niece said "that's too slow" but in my mind the time is going to pass any way so I can stay over my dream weight or I can chip away at it. I might as well lose a pound a week while the time is passing. Stick…

I'm at 1400 a day and am working at losing 1pound a week. So far so good, but I am left feeling hungry (not just cravings) quite often.

Interesting that you say this. I guess I'm a volume eater because the eggs and bacon do not make me feel any fuller than the Cheerios.

Thanks all! I'll google some protein/fiber options. I think I'll also try to delay breakfast. I'm not really hungry in the morning I just feel like I have to eat and then bamo there goes 300/400 calories and when lunch comes I'm starving. What are some low cal snacks y'all eat? I read cottage cheese, fruit, yogurt,…

Smaller servings of what I used to eat Breakfast- Cheerios or 2 eggs and bacon Lunch- salads, sandwich, or left overs Dinner- a small serving of whatever we make I'm mostly starving before lunch and still hungry after lunch.

What is "Weekend banking of calories"?

Thanks everyone! I really like shakes and don't mind skipping a meal to have one because they're so tastey! I know they may not be the best but for now if I'm gonna use them I just want the best "bang for my buck" as far as nutrition and money, so thanks for your input!
