I strongly suggest you start with the 8lb loss per month. It may not be as easy as you think. If you become consistent with staying in your calorie goals that MFP calculate for you, then go ahead and shoot for 10lhs. It's only a 2 lb difference.

Great progress !

Finally, I've read the whole thread. Well hey, I'm sorry for having faith in her that she has enough sensibility to not develop an eating disorder from the excitement of dropping weight rather quickly compared to general guidelines . In no way would I want someone to become unhealthy for example seeing her reach 140 lbs…

I respect your percentages and all of that but listen weight loss is not the same for everyone. Can you accept that? No? So do you suggest that she stops working out? Or just eat more even if she isn't hungry because the excess fat that she already has stored in her body isn't enough to keep her healthy?

People who are considered obese lose a lot of weight rather quickly with a small caloric deficit compared to others who are already in a healthy weight range. She says that she is still obese. The chances of organ failure and all of these other health issues listed in this thread are more likely to happen to her the longer…

Neither did I initially either. Who can genuinely say " Oh! I'm really looking forward to slowing down my weight loss while I'm still unhealthy and very overweight and uncomfortable " It's nice and reassuring to see the lbs drop quickly and consistently without having to starve yourself, finally finding a system that…

I doubt she plans on eating 1200 calories every day forever... Eventually the goal is to eat at maintenance once a healthy weight has been reached. Which wouldn't cause her to gain all of her lost weight back

Keep doing what you are doing honey. You have a great system that is working for you. A slow in your weight loss rate may happen as you get smaller, so expect it eventually but don't become discouraged. Listen to your body, be easy on your joints, and keep at it

Water weight and its loooovely.

950-1200 daily . Not yet in maintenance ! If my body asks for more energy/food I'll have 1200-1500 on weekends.

I wonder why MFP isn't posting my whole reply

If you're hungry right after eating a meal, most likely you're not hyrdrated enough. Start drinking more water with EACH meal. In between meals as well just to rule that out first.

A 39lb weight loss is amazing ! You go girl. About that spark that happens in your body when you take a break from the caloric deficit. I've noticed the same thing! Once or twice on accident when eating about 100-250 calories more than were allowed for my calorie intake, my metabolism JUMPSTARTED. Initially I thought I…

:D Thank you all for giving me some really good feedback! It is frustrating and a little scary for me ...it does create some anxiety (of not being able reach these goals) but most of all I'm not a quitter. Patience has always been an issue of mine, I'm gonna have to learn how to work on it. I've been achieving things the…

I've never suffered from an eating disorder, but I want you to remind yourself of these truths . Food is not your enemy. It's fuel for your body and mind to function normally. Don't deny yourself of one of life's most simple pleasure....eating. And remember , you already have enough self control to UNDER eat. Now use that…

You don't need to fall asleep hungry to be in a caloric deficit. Count and log your calories and balance your meals throughout the day if you prefer to have that last meal right before bed. Just stay under your calorie goal and you'll be in a deficit. Sometimes people confuse thirst with hunger, so just to rule that out be…

I'm 27 ☺️, from Missouri. Feel free to add me! I'm looking for more supportive friends on this journey.

Maybe drop 5 more lbs of fat? (not really necessary though) but most importantly it's time to start weight training. Putting on muscle will give your body the more toned physique. I say you should build your strength first and continuously work your way up to lifting heavy weights. You want to track how much you're lifting…
