I am 5'6 currently 224 pounds. My UGW is 123-130 but I would be happy at 140!

This pizza is like half the size of normal pizza because it is square, not like Pizza Hut or basically anywhere else. There is a chain restaurant around here that serves square pizza and they list it at 111 calories. I would say like 2 slices of their pizza would fit into one slice of Pizza Hut pizza.

Yes I am in the states. I'm confused what you mean by 1000 calories. Basically in a large pizza there are 24 square pieces of pizza. Probably about 2 inch squares. The place that serves pizza that's similar in size says each slice of cheese is 111 calories. Does that sound accurate!?

Ahhh I like the idea of adding 10% more. I need to remember that going over by 100-200 calories one day a month isn't the worst thing that could happen. Thank you! :)

That's a good idea! See, my dad pays for me and he's very cheap, hence the half price pizza, lol but I guess I could offer to buy myself a salad!

Very true! I might try that

I plan on just having plain cheese pizza to avoid extra calories from toppings. This pizza crust is pretty thin. Not sure of the type of cheese though.

How many calories are you eating? I know for females (not sure for males), if you eat under 1,000 calories it will not let you post your food diary because 1000 calories is considered too little.

I'm sure it's been said but weight loss is all about calories in/calories out. I'm alloted 1330 calories a day. So basically I could eat 1330 calories of salad or 1330 calories of French fries and still be at a deficit and lose weight. Obviously one will make you fuller than the other. I have lost about 20 pounds and have…

Thanks everyone! I have been consistently losing 2 pounds a week and am feeling fine! Some days I am a little hungrier than others but that's expected. I've just read a lot about BMR lately and it freaked me out about losing muscle over fat. I'm trying to also lower my carbs and eat more protein so I figure that should be…

Yeah.. that was a little over the top lol.

Yep. Trying to lose 100 pounds. and yes I do have negative calories turned on. Again, thanks so much for your help!

You're right. This is so difficult. If I change my activity level to lightly active it gives me 1610 calories vs 1330 at sedentary. I think if I do that maybe I'll feel fuller if I eat closer to 1600. Speaking of cycle, do you believe/think women need more calories during that week? I read that they do, just wanted another…

I have been at this about a month and lost 14 pounds. Maybe I'll set it back to lightly active and see how I do at next months weigh in. I know it's not good to try to lose so fast. It's just hard because I wanna see results quick. Thanks again for all your advise!

That is my total number of steps. As of right now I am not doing any exercise. I'm just trying to get my calories and eating right then I am gradually going to add in walking. At the end of most days I have about 7,000+ steps and around 300-400 calories burned. I also noticed on days that let's say I run around the…

Thanks so much Wino! So maybe I should change my setting to lightly active then?

Thanks for all your thoughts guys! I do have my Fitbit adjusted to count negative calories and I also have MFP set to sedentary. I know I shouldn't feel guilty but it is hard!

I like them and they keep me full! I have a shake for breakfast around 7am then another for lunch with a piece of fruit around 1 and I am generally not hungry in between (really only if its that T.O.M.) I also like it for the extra protein. Honestly, I could see myself still using them during maintenance when/if I get…

Good luck everyone!! My fiancé has been with me at my highest (263) and my lowest (175) he's loved me every step of the way!

Looking to lose around 100 more pounds. Im down 13lbs from 253. Ultimate goal weight is 140. Have not been exercising much due to laziness and a foot pain that keeps coming back. I work in a day care though so I am on my feet quite a bit

Great work everyone! Keep it up!!

Good luck everyone!

Thanks everyone for your help!

I thought maybe it was a general thing, Thanks!

You can do it! I am 5'6 and 249 pounds. Looking to lose 100+. Anyone can feel free to message/request me! :)

Thank you! And I know right?!? Haha I've been off and on this site so much. But everytime I start it, I lose quite quickly. Just gotta stick to it. I just got engaged so I'm really motivated! Lol
