Sure. I'm losing 1lb/week or more. Feel free.

Started at 154, now at 138. People notice after the first 10lbs.

I have found the best route with Mexican is fajitas minus the tortillas (or just eat one). No beans. Limit your chips and salsa.

The workouts aren't too aggressive but the calorie restriction can be. Keep walking. Log those calories and eat 50-75% of them back.

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying but MFP is designed for you to eat back at least some of your exercise calories.

A calorie deficit. Go with the number MFP gives you.

I felt the same way. Then I started logging my calories and realized sodas just wouldn't fit. I started using lemonade packets in bottled water and haven't looked back.

I think it will get easier as you lose weight but I have a hard time running on a treadmill at any weight. I would much rather run outside.

People wanting to shed a few kilos should ignore the oldest dieting rule and skip breakfast, as there is no proof that scoffing eggs, toast, porridge and fruit first thing will prevent overeating later in the day. Doctors have long ­encouraged people to consume roughly a third of their daily calories in the morning to keep…

I just eat sugar. I'm tired of diets that restrict my sweet cravings. I just have a piece of dark chocolate or a Fiber One brownie.

I have MFP set to lose 1lb/week and I have lost 1lb/week for 16 weeks straight. Yes, it works.

I just noticed major changes this month. Amazing what losing 10% of my body weight has done.

Then don't call it that. I'm not on a diet. I log my food and keep it below maintenance to lose weight but I can eat what I want.

Are you logging your food?

A thinner body, more money, more stuff, etc will not make you happy. This is something that you need to turn inward to figure out.

That's a decent comparison. I prefer them like this http://www.thehappierhomemaker.com/2016/01/charleston-style-shrimp-and-grits-recips/

I drink so much more water when I use them. I was using the Crystal Light packets but I just ordered these because I'm not a fan of artificial sweeteners: http://www.amazon.com/True-Lemon-Assorted-Beverage-Pack/dp/B00KSLBWJ4/ref=sr_1_9_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1461007877&sr=8-9&keywords=true+lemon+packets

I like late night breakfast. My go-to is a toasted english muffin with cream cheese and a hard boiled egg. Totally makes me full for 260 calories.

I agree it sounds like you have been eating closer to maintenance. Clean eating is great but it won't move the scale. I could eat 1300 cal in Oreos and lose more weight than you if I am eating a calorie deficit. Where did you get your numbers from?

Please don't let it be chocolate

It seems like my LI kids have no problem with yogurt and cheese. Only straight milk. I wonder if the cooking process reduces the lactose?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised if it is dairy. I have 4 lactose intolerant kids...ironically we even adopted a LI kid from China. I did switch some face products to that complicates narrowing it down. I'm currently only used a Purpose bar soap to cleanse and a Eucerin light moisturizing/sunscreen lotion.

I haven't cut all dairy but I probably don't eat as much. I am eating some yogurt and ice cream.

I do. I eat back some but not all of my exercise calories. I have mine set to lose 1lb/week and lightly active and get 1300.

I'm dealing with this question as well. I've looked at some "ideal weight" calculators and they seem pretty low. I'm 5'3" and my goal now is 127lbs. I'm not sure if that is the best goal but what I picked for now.

I had this too. I eventually got stomach cramps so bad I ended up in the ER. They couldn't find anything wrong with me other than I did have high ketones in my blood. I left, got a breakfast biscuit sandwich and the cramps went away. I am thankfully losing 1lb/week not doing anything low carb this time.

1lb/week but last week it was 2lbs. Still pretty fast since I'm now 139 and have 12lbs to go.

Several of my friends from high school have been posting how they lost 7lbs doing a week long juice cleanse. I'm like...yeah...no thanks.

I'm guessing you had your goal to lose 1lb/day. Change your goal to lose .5lb/day.
