Thank you sir. Highly appreciate it

I ate desserts and dairy during my 3 cheat days. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
-
Yes I did. I even used a separate small note book to keep records of what I eat and add some notes and reminders ( I found it more enjoyable than using the app) I intended not eat anything during that period apart from boiled eggs,McDonald burgers, toasted cheese/turkey sandwiches. I chose these because it was easy to…

I did stick. I was thinking that now because I will walk 4hrs/day, then I can create greater calories deficit.
-
so net calories = calories that MFP says I need + 50 % of what I burn during exercising ? Thanks !
-
mmm whats the difference between calories burned during my job and and calories burned when I intend to exercise ? Keeping in mind that I chose " sedentary" as my activity level.
-
Ok , looks I am not gonna take risk and go super fast. I will follow the 2 lbs/wk rule. Now my question. If MFP tells me to eat 1500 calories in order to lose 2lbs/wk, but I walk 4hrs/day (part of my job) , shall I add the calories I burn during walking to the 1500 calories ? For example, if walking for 4 hours burns 1000…

You are right, thank you !
-
Thaaaaat :'( I wish I am stuck at what I reached last time I tried.
-
MFP gave me to eat 1500 calories. I did. But I did not lose 2lbs/wk. Instead, I was losing 0.5lbs/wk. Maybe because I did not exercise !
-
yeah I know it is a lot, but that's part of my job, so I have to do it. Your posts are highly informative. Thank you

one of the reasons I am asking about losing weight fast is this thread : https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10379804/7-months-in-181-pounds-lost-and-61-pounds-lost/p1 this member lost 180 lbs in 7 months ? Thats about 6.5 lbs/wk !! That's the reason why I just felt that the 2lbs/wk is a myth or inaccurate.…

Thank you all for providing me with these information and experiences. I've never seen any site or forum where there is such fast and helpful interaction. Wish me luck :D any more information or experiences are welcomed. :D
-
thank you for your input. So do you think it is fine if I set a target of 3lbs/wk ,and when I reach 200lbs , set a new target which is 2lbs/wk ? mm yes,I was bit restrictive, I had some difficulties in calorie counting. So in order to be accurate, my meals usually consisted of boiled eggs. Occasionally I used to eat…

but that assumes that I do not do any form of exercise ? right ? what if I eat 2000 calories and burn 700 calories during exercising ?(walking for 4 hours can burn this amount of calories.)

I understand your point, thank you .
-
Wohooo . 40 lbs in 8 weeks ? that would be a dream lol. so you lost 140 lbs in 1 year? thats about 2.7lbs/wk on average. Did you lose your hair or got your metabolism destroyed?
-
Cool study. Thats what happened to me, after 2 months , I got bored , lost only 4 pounds , and was unmotivated . Do you know any experience of people losing 3lbs/wk and are still did not destroy their metabolism or their muscles?
-
100 lbs

I am sorry I did not add my weight on the 1st post 26 year old male. My weight is 255 lbs ,Height 5'10... my traget is 155 lbs.. so I wanna lose 100 lbs.
-
congratulations !!! so that maximum 2lbs/week is a myth ? I started well with losing 2lbs/wk , then after a month got bored and just regained all the weight I lost ( even I weight more now) . I wanna start again, and after I saw your thread ,I just wish I can start loosing more than 2lbs/wk) so again, if this worked for…
