Do you have weights? Maybe try placing a 5 pound weight on each one (I saw someone do this on YouTube) and the one that gives the correct number you can use.

I love sugar has well! Trust me it's an addiction what I do is I eat less sugary items. Like instead of eating a huge chocolate bar I get small mini size items. Or instead of a full cake piece I cut a smaller piece. I used to be a big fan of the king size of the king size candy bars but now I just get candy in smaller…

This user is right! :smile:

If you haven't tried fruit infused water I really think you should try! I love adding fruits to my water it's so amazing mint, lemon, watermelon it's amazing!! You can get a normal pitcher and prep it or use a fruit infusing water bottle whatever you like. I seriously used to be addicted to soda like 3 bottles a day, and I…

She also asked for help with how to reduce drinking soda I think op is on this site to make more positive changes to her life which I do applaud. I still think your post was a bit snide, and I didn't see the post she made about her CHF, but I can tell she's trying to make things better for herself and made this post to ask…

Not sure why the snide comment above was necessary op seems new to this site and was asking some good questions. It doesn't mean she has "issues". Op, However, people have provided some great feedback about how to get more protein in your diet. I love to boil eggs and just take it as a snack it's a great source of protein.…

I agree with others about tightening up your logging and start using a food scale for all solid food will help.

Why would less than 1200 be ideal when the minimum for a lady is 1200 calories??? Op, if you want some help providing more information will be great such as: gender, height, and weight I'm not sure where you got 1400 calories from did you input your goal into MFP and receive this number? If so what goal did you input?

Agreementè caloric deficit is extremely important!

Op, you still haven't answered the question that most of us are wondering about are you trying to eat less than 1200 calories? @Libby283

Ohio as well! Hi all! :)

I wouldn't recommend it. If you want aim for 0.5 pounds a week with the maximum of 1 pound weight loss. Good luck!

Your goal is very aggressive if you want to lose 20 pounds you have to essentially lose 1.5 pounds every week for 13 weeks. For a loss of 30 pounds you have to lose 2.3 pounds when the maximum recommended even on MyFitnessPal standards is 2 pounds a week. So I think the 20 pounds might be a tad bit more reasonable. Please…

Are you trying to eat less than 1200 calories op?

How much weight are you trying to lose? If you have less than 20 I think 0.5 pounds rate of weight loss would be more ideal. I am one pound more than you and it gave me a new calorie intake of 1520 calories with this goal. When I wrote lose one pound it had me at 1270. A pop-box will display stating this Will update your…

My post is assuming that you're 18 and over something tells me you may be younger... my advice to you if you're 18 and over is How about you do whatever you want to do because at the end of the day it's YOUR body and only things you allow occur. People can have their own opinions about things it's okay; however, it's up to…

What's your current height and weight? You may be able to eat more and continue to lose weight in a healthy manner.

How long have you been eating as you are? I think you're eating more than you think.

If it fits into your calorie goal feel free to eat it.

Your current 1 pound a weight sounds pretty reasonable good job on your weight loss so far! Also what's your current height/ weight/ calorie intake/ are you eating back your workout burn?this will give us more information to work with. Also the 2 pound a week you lost before is pretty normal often at first people tend to…

What's your current height and weight? This might solve your question if you let us know.

Never heard of it I like to follow the free method called CICO (calories in calories out) has helped me lose 32 pounds so far.

Spicy black bean burger on a brioche bun was pretty delicious.

So you're eating 1300 calories a day or 900? If this is an accurate number they would both be pretty low for a guy.

It's not the end of the world as others mentioned also i try to eat back half of the workout calories I burned even walking counts. So you may not be over if you haven't factored this in.

Have a little patience Op it's only been a week. If you're not using a food scale this will help you out going forward. Also weight tends to fluctuate and weight loss is not linear. Even with accurate weighing you'll realize you'll lose weight sometimes, maintain others, and possibly gain weight as well depending on…

Lots of sales are in scales Amazon has one on scale for $7.49 and up right now. If you don't have prime you can get a free 30 day membership and order it with free shipping. Also feel free to shop around some more but a plethora of options are available that won't break the bank some for less than a lunch meal!

I gotta agree!

I read another post where you mentioned you were aiming for a 2 pound a week weight lost. Since you're hungry consider adjusting it to 1 pound or 0.5 pounds and see how you feel :) you'll be able to eat more food.

Why are you doing this for 26 days? Also the website has a lot of misinformation that you're trying to use to go on your "juicing journey". How many calories will you be intaking daily? I feel like this is a very extreme measure of trying to lose weight. The website states when asked about detox and juicing: Juicing…
