OK great! Thank you so much for this info and for showing me how 2.5 is not a realistic goal. I didn't realize it would take that much caloric restriction. I try to stay away from math as much as possible so you doing it and spelling it out for me is greatly appreciated. ;)

Oh wow, thank you so much for explaining this! I think I understand... So this is the math on how many calories someone my size would have to eat per day to attain a 2.5lb/wk weight loss? Yikesabee! Currently my MFP allowance is around 1400 calories. I have been earning around 200 calories per day in exercise but have been…

YES!!! Thank you!!! This is such great info for someone just becoming a faithful logger! :) Just one question...99% of the time I am logging on the AP...I don't think it has the confirmations...but it does have certain items with a green check. Are these items generally the most trustworthy?
-
Thank you so much. I appreciate your help! I am defininitely not trying to go the unhealthy route. I am just so new to all of this I have no idea what I can "get away with" (ie. not eating back my extra exercise calories etc). I would much rather be a little fluffy with a healthy glow than haggard and sickly in a smaller…

Congratulations!!!!! What an inspiration you are! I love hearing how you did it. Great work!!!

Thank you! I will make sure my goal is 1200 calories. Currently I am set at about 1400...and I have been trying to not eat back the extra calories that I am allotted for exercise...Is this a bad idea? Should I be eating these?

THANK YOU!!!!!! This is great advice!!!! I will up my walking~ I walk outside and include lots of hills and varying heart rates, so I feel pretty good about that, but I will up the time. Your response also leads me to a question about the accuracy of the info on the MFP food info. Are the items with the green check as…

You're right...there is way more good stuff than bad! I need to work on a thicker skin too. hehe
-
THANK YOU! :) Reigning in the eating out is good advice~ along with the scale...Maybe I haven't been as close to my calorie goal as I thought...? :neutral:

Thank you so much. :)

I apologize for being a little sensitive after that first post. It was hard for me to post at all and then to have the first response to be a snarky one (do you disagree?) was a little disheartening. I didn't expect rainbows and unicorns, just some advice for someone desperately trying to figure out this weight loss…

Don't resort to them at all!!![/quote] lol, I won't! ;)

Thank you all for your input! I will just keep on keeping on...and be happy >gulp< with whatever I manage between now and then...;)
-
Haha, I know!!! Again, I was just trying to get any tips on helping the lbs come off as quickly as possible...I know i set myself up for these responses...Like I said, I don't expect a "biggest loser" transformation, or a 6 pack in 5 weeks, but I sure would like to drop as much as possible. I think I am doing it the right…
-
Thank you all for your help!! I am about 30 lbs away from my ideal weight so I am not sure if that is considered obese? At one point I understood that 20 lbs overweight was considered obese...? Regardless, I know you are all right about a slower weight loss. I was just hoping that a 2-3 lb per week loss for someone 30 lbs…
-
Maybe I need to clarify my goal. I just would like to lose 15 lbs in the next 6 weeks. Maybe I am wrong, but this doesn't seem too extreme, does it? I just wondered the best way to maximize my weight loss between now and then. I appreciate the food scale suggestion. And I am glad to hear I am on track with the cardio and…

Thank you! I appreciate the tip on the food scale. I will really try to be diligent with that.
