Appreciate the feedback. It's hard to get my mind around it being necessary to eat more.

Would it be wise to spread it out through the week. Like if i burn 500 calories today, maybe eat and additional 250 today and an additional 250 on my off day? I suppose it will all come out in the wash at the end of the week

No. I just eat the calories mfp gave me. I don't eat back the calories it says I burn with my runs and daily steps

I appreciate the encouragement so much. It was the people who seem hell bent on bringing ya down that make for a bad day. In speaking with some others via message I am ashamed at the little amount of water I am drinking. I'm going to do better

You are so great! I'm sorry that you can't unfollow my post but I have thoroughly enjoyed your comments today. Applause applause. I drank my shake and ran my tail off this morning while some people were steadfast in saying I eat too much. That's ok. I know what I put in my mouth. My caloric goal set by mfp is 1300 after…

I. Am. Not. Eating. More. Jesus. Thanks for the encouragement though. It was sure helpful. I'm not sure if you read sarcasm. It seems to me that some people really take it upon themselves to jump right into commenting when in their minds people are lying. I understand that there are people who say they are "dieting", they…

Your post made me want to cry. Thank you so much for the encouragement! I feel good. I enjoy my time outside and feel so accomplished when I get out those 2.5 miles and turn back. Thank you thank you!!

Who can still eat bread? Haha just kidding! Thank you for the encouragement! I appreciate it so much! Going to try drinking more water to get more out

I'm not eating any more than I was before. I log all calories. The only thing I changed was adding the jogging. I'm going to try staying the course. I hope my body will catch up with my efforts. I do feel good although I'm ready for bed at 9 o'clock these days lol. Thanks for all of the assurance

Two week stall now.

I weigh what needs to be weighted and scan in the rest. It is all logged here. I stick to between 1200 and 1300 calories a day. It seems like simple math of course but why isn't the scale moving? Am I retaining water? It's sure discouraging

Last night at 9 o'clock I had a cheese stick and some carrots. So whether or not a cookie would have the same weight loss results or not, I was happy with my choice :).

Well that's a relief! I'm going to eat right and bust my *kitten*. I'm going to eat when I'm hungry. Makes sense right?

I don't need to eat them back? I get so many different answers :(

Queenliz- lol! The running is a new development. I was too fat to run before. Now I feel like a free bird. Just tell me what to do.. Clearly I need help

I haven't done that to date. According to my fitness pal, i burn an additional 700 calories between my run and the steps I put in at work. Should I be? I don't want to stop losing :(

But I didn't excercise a lick before two weeks ago. I now jog 5 miles at least three times a week. Or so far I have anyways. I hope to keep that up because I really enjoy it

I do.

Well that's a hard question. I started at over 260 pounds.. I didn't weigh myself when I started because I was disgusted frankly so 260 is where I was 2 weeks in and was brave enough to get in the scale. Today I was 205. I set my goal with fitness pal to 185. Do I think I need to lower that now? Absolutely. 185 is too much…

My son graduated high school. One piece of graduation cake was like ohhhh look! More cake! I just can't do it.

No. I just feel like I'm supposed to.

That's the beauty of my fitness pal. It tells me what to eat. I can't do the macro thing. It's just too overwhelming for me

I did ask that regarding cico. It's hard for my brain to believe that if I eat 1200 calories of candy bars or 1200 of kale.. My results would be the same with regards to the scale. I'm not going to eat candy bars all day long. Since Christmas, I've had one bag of peanut mms at the movies with my kids. I know the science of…

Besee.. It's like we are the same person lol. I can't eat the ice cream. It's sad, but the binge will happen and then I wake up the next morning hating myself, like the alcoholic that swore they weren't going to have more than a sip and they got wasted. Everyone has a cross to bear and not shoving bad choices into my mouth…

I'm opposite. Im not a morning eater. I make myself drink a protein shake in the morning to jump start my metabolism and eat every three hours. I'm on an active sales floor so sometimes I can't go back to our break room and eat a meal that has enough calories, I gobble up a protein bar that typically will have less…

I'm not sure cico solely would work for me? I mean if I eat 1200 calories worth of candy bars or 1200 calories worth of protein and fruit/vegetables will I really continue to lose? I'm not going to eat candy bars of course lol

I'm not diabetic. I agree with the logic that I should eat healthy regardless of the time of day. A spoonful of low fat peanut butter on half an apple will make me feel better about myself than a cookie for sure.

I'm losing. I'm very greatful for what I've lost so far and have always known it's bad to eat late at night. Eating late is how I got fat! So to make myself eat is difficult when I've been told my whole life not to do it.

Thank you guys so much for your replies! I really appreciate it!! ❤️❤️
