Love this thread. Thanks OP! I average between 1900 and 2000 calories a day. I am 5'4 and a half and weight 148. Starting weight was 156 lbs. I would like to get down to anywhere between 124 and 130 but am in no hurry. I just set my minimum to 1800 because I am still nursing my toddler. I am happy to be losing weight…

Thanks for saying this. I was starting to wonder if I was eating too much at 1900 calories even though I have been averaging a loss of 1lb a week. How long did it take you to lose your 30 lbs?

You have a classic hourglass figure. You look good at either weight but I can see that you have lost weight, especially in your profile. I am also 5'5' and have a goal weight of 125-130 lbs. Well done!

Breastfeeding is an awesome calorie burner! I am breastfeeding my 14 month old who mostly eat solids. I set my calorie target at 1800 a day but the reality is I average about 2000 calories a day. I don't exercise other than running after my 4 year old and baby since I am tired from not having slept the night for 14 months.…

How much below your TDEE did you eat to lose the weight? And how long did it take you to lose the weight? I am new to this and I am impressed with your results!

Thanks so much! I am wondering if my TDEE is ~ 2640 why did I gain weight during the week where my calories averaged 2200?

Anything I want so long as I weigh it and write down the calories.

This might seem like a strange suggestion but it works everytime. Sleep. Take a nap. When I am sleep deprived I become an eating machine.

I got all the women right except for the older lady. The guys, I only got a couple right. Great video, thanks for sharing!

I am 5'4" and breastfeeding a one year old on demand. I am on 1800 calories a day and have been losing 2 lbs a week. Starting weight was 157 lbs. I am now at 151. Goal weight is 130. I am curious if I can continue losing on such a high calorie diet when I have less to lose. Breastfeeding is awesome.

Thanks everyone! My scale has really helped in the last 2 weeks and I have lost a couple of pounds per week, thanks to very precise measurements on the scale. I will have to eyeball my portions at dinner and ask the hostess what the dishes are called so I can use MFP to find out the calorie content afterwards. Thanks for…
