Only way to know is to wait and see You might want to eat at maintenance a day or two to help your body after being sick.

I work second shift so my last meal is after 12:01am unless I get to leave early. I log it under the previous day and if I go over a little I can put it on the next day. As long as you are within your calories on average you'll be okay.

I like Smirnoff red label vodka or Early Times or Jim Beam. I mix with diet sundrop.

I do it everyday but I log it under the previous day. I work second shift so my last meal isn't until after 12:01 am the next dayday but I log it on the previous day. I'm losing just fine.

Hey, too much text for me to read. Just make it simple. Eat what you want as long as it fits into your calorie limit.

Hey, I'm currently 30, 5'8 f, 226 lbs.I'm set to sedentary and to eat a little over 1700 cals a day to lose a pound a week. Sometimes I go over, like now, but I'm losing weight still.I am on my feet all evening long at work(factory). I think you need to up your calories. I maintained 150 pounds on 1500 calories a day in…

You will need to eat at maintenance or extra calories in the form of protein to build muscle.

I work second shift. I add my supper into the previous day since I get off work at 12 usually. Someone on here told me the calories would average out.

I'm 30, 5'8 f, and want to lose 30 pounds and then keep going..I'm 230 right now. Thirty pounds makes a big difference.

A pedicure would be a nice reward..

Hey. I weigh 230, looking to get back to at least 200.

I don't know about metabolism and psych meds. I am on 1mg haloperidol and I'm wondering the same thing. I know my med makes me lazy so that means less calories burned from being active.

I struggle with the same thing. If you can get yourself to microwave a pack of California blend veggies and eat that first it might help.

I'm 230 at 5'8.. My eating has been horrible these past two days, but I'm starting over and drinking water right now. My plan is to drink more water and go from there.

I did fine until I binged after eating my calorie goal. I rearranged my freezer and found a lot of mixed frozen veggies in there today, and I am going to the grocery store tomorrow.Oh well, tomorrow is a new day ..

Ugh, I ate too much today. I ate within my calorie range at first... but then I had to dip crackers into leftover chili on the stove, a sundrop, and spicy nacho doritos... :(

Hey, I'm 30/f/5'8 and 230 pounds. I hit a low of 196 before Thanksgiving a year ago...and then I just started gaining again(stopped mfp)..Just downloaded mfp on this phone. All time teen/adult low was 150 when I was 20..I was 225 in high school. I wish I was around 200..

Thanks for the replies!

I went to the doctor for this a month and a half ago. They tested my thyroid and it's fine. I think it's the medication I'm taking. I'm taking D ocolax once a day since that's what I was prescribed for a month and ran out. It's working,but I'm not sure it's safe to take long term....my doctor didn't say.

I don't mind losing more than 1lb a week I'm just curious as to if I'm lightly active, Active, or very active but I don't workout. However, I'm guessing I should stick to 1700-1800 on my off days.

Yeah, I changed my calories to lower than what MFP stated.. One setting was 1800 something for sedentary, 2100 something lightly active and the other was 2300 something.

I'm working five, ten hour shifts.

You could be retaining water depending where you are in your cycle.

Started at 240 and nobody said anything until I lost down to 200 pounds. I think people notice but are afraid to comment. When I received that comment, it was like yes! Someone finally noticed! I'm 5'8.

I'd like to get to 190, then 175, and then down to 165 or 150(lowest adult weight) eventually.

Hi, 5'8 29 f, started at 240 and lost 47 pounds last year. Now I'm back up to 201.4 . I just signed up for MFP and trying to stay around 1500 calories a day, but a little over is okay.
