I'm 5'7. I will be 28 on March 29th. My starting weight one month ago was 227. I lost 10 pounds in the first week or 2 of working out and being in a calorie deficit. I've been at a stand still since losing that ten pounds but have been diligent in working out 5 to 7 days a week for at least 40 minutes a day, mostly…

Edmonton woot woot

I take 300 MG of iron twice a day and vit b complex. I will definitely look into getting a scale when I can. I have really been trying to get at least 1200 cals a day. I'm at 1066 for the day but will still try to eat before bed.

I'm not trying to restrict my Calories, I'm just finding it hard to get everything in I need to. I take the pills to give me energy to get through the workouts as I have fibromyalgia which causes fatigue. You are making me sound like a anorexic, when this is the first time in my life I've tried to be fit and healthy, I'm…

I'm only overdoing it for the first month, which is almost done. Then it's down to 5 hrs a week of workouts, isn't that a healthy goal? I don't have a treatment team.

Thank you for your kind words. I will definitely check out that website.

If I workout less than 1 hr a day and don't lose .5 in sweat I feel like a failure. I want this weight gone asap. I probably am overdoing it, but I figured I would only do that for the 1st month to get the scale moving down. Then I wanted to only do 1 hr a day 5 days a week, both cardio and weights.

Well the last 2 years I ate whatever I wanted and never worked out. That's how I gained. But the past 3 or 4 weeks I decided to get my stuff together. I started working out. Started a change in my diet. Started diet pills to curb my hunger and also give me energy. I lost 10 pounds 3 or 4 weeks ago before joining mfp. Now…

I take the pills because it gives me the energy I need to workout 1 to 3 hrs a day 5 to 7 days a week. I don't mind talking about a possible warped view on food. That's why I joined here to learn how to eat healthy and be healthy. I had a past with bulimia and anorexia. I gained 70 pounds the past 2 years when trying to…

I figured it out . It's open to the public now :)

Thanks everyone for your tips and advice I really appreciate it :)

Oh I'm sorry I'm not sure how to enable that. I'm still quite new to this site and am not very tech friendly lol

I should mention I am taking diet pills. 2 to 4 pills of Hydroxy cut in the mornings. And 2 pills of carcinia cambogia before each time I eat.

Can it be over a week or does it have to be daily? Most days of the week are like today but usually once or twice a week I eat what I need to.

Lol okay I will definitely have a snack with lots of peanut butter :)

It won't show my diary, it says because I'm not reaching my Calories needed. Most days are like today. I ate 2 bananas and will have a salad with hopefully some meat for supper.

Also what do you mean by my hunger cues are off?

I will definitely be getting whey when I can. It's hard for me to eat meat except for seafood. as I was a raw foodist for a few years. I ate 2 bananas today and am full. But I will try to eat some meat for supper.

I don't have a food scale. I eat as healthy as I can when I do go out to eat. One meal will last me the whole day. Is a food scale that important?

I try for 1 to 3 hours a day 5 to 7 days a week. Mixture of Turbo Jam and Hip Hop Abs. Both dvds are both cardio and strength training. I really want to get P90x though and start ASAP.

Good luck dude

I was having a hard time eating as much as mfp told me too. I could never reach my protein carb or fat goals. This past weekend I got down on myself and cheated. Ate fast food. Which took me over my sodium goals. So I'm sure it is water weight but it is so discouraging. Especially since I haven't seen the scale go down in…

Aw 7 :( click on it to enlarge

Yes

8.5

I'm not sure if we're still able to message on here. I'm team red and since my week 1 weigh in I've gained 4 pounds! I need help I'm getting very discouraged. I had lost 10 pounds my first 3 weeks (before starting mfp) then for about a week I was stuck at 217. I got down on myself about it that on the weekend I ate fast…

I hear ya. Do you exercise? You may be putting on muscle or retaining water. That's what's happening with me I think. The scale for me hasn't moved down in over 2 weeks and it's very frustrating. But I do notice I am a little slimmer and more toned which is a good sign.

What is Tom?

I find it very discouraging to not meet weightloss goals. In my case I've gained since my last weigh in. I was 227 3 weeks ago before I started mfp. I was 217 a week ish ago when I started mfp. I joined a challenge to lose 50 lbs by Aug 31. I was stuck at 217 for my first weight in. And in the past 3 days the scale says…

I'm in the same boat. For the past week I've either stayed the same at 217 or even gain a pound! I think we are just putting on muscle. But we have to be losing fat by working out as much as we do. I usually work out 7 days a week for at least a hr. Lots of cardio and strength training. I'm hoping the scale will start…
