No you shouldn't aim for 1,000 calories 1,200 is the lowest you should go. And honestly 1200 calories isn't even the best oftentimes as well. What's your current weight and height?

So you've lost 2 pounds was that within a week? 2? I think this will help us figure out your question. I highly doubt you're burning 400-600 calories riding on a bike for 30 minutes. I'm 5'2, and I workout frequently as well.

If you want tips we do need stats. What your current height and weight? How many calories are you currently eating? What did you set your rate of loss to on MyFitnessPal? Do you use a food scale to measure solids ? You maybe binging at night because during the day you may not be eating enough just a thought; however, this…

You're eating more calories than you think honestly. Buy a food scale if you want, and since you don't have much to lose set your loss rate on MyFitnessPal to lose 0.5- 1 pound a week and eat the calories suggested it will be more than 1200-1400 calories I believe, and eat back at lest half of your workout burned calories.…

I'd rather just eat at a deficit.

It really depends on the store or brand. Some stores are true to size in pants, and some brands are a bit more loose, and some run small.

Are you currently losing weight eating the calories you are? Since you mentioned you've tried in the past, and couldn't go farther than 2 weeks I think you need to try something different. Are you working out? Do you use a food scale to measure your calorie intake? Do you track what you eat on MyFitnessPal ? I think what…

I gusss a lighter wallet :smiley:

Hi everyone!! I'm so excited to be here for February I've been in this challenge since December 2017. When I first decided I wanted to lose weight I was 188 pounds, and technically obese. I've reduced my portions, and now I'm 147, and now overweight. My goal weight is 135. With hard work and dedication it may take some…

The calorie burned information they provide is such an overestimation.

Username: Lesscookies1 Weigh in week: Jan week 4 Weigh in day: Saturday Previous Week's weight: 148.5 Today's Weight: 146.8 Hi team!! I recently came back from Dubai the food was delicious, but I did walk a lot sightseeing, so I think that helped me lose weight, and I reduced my portions as well.

@craigo3154 - thanks your plan sounds great sorry for the delayed response.

Hi everyone, I'm in Chicago now heading to Frankfort Germany I've managed to get in 11,563 steps today which is awesome. My goal for this week is to get as many steps in as I can!! I will give an update tomorrow. I mentioned before I'll be out of the country for almost 2 weeks, so I won't be able to weigh in during the…

This question is off topic what does this have to do with weight loss? I'm surprised this thread isn't closed already... and asking strangers for help with your child and vitamins sounds rather insane. Seek help from a doctor.

Honestly, food labels can underestimate by 20%, so you could be eating more calories than you think. Do you use a food scale to measure your food? Since you mentioned you're gaining weight that tells us you're not really eating 1300 calories but more than your normal maintenance calories. If you keep going with this trend…

I've never tracked anything and lost 40 pounds so far. For some people it works, and for others tracking helps.

Yes lol!! sorry thanks for catching that. I'm at work, and the dates got mixed up from January 9, 2018 until January 22nd I'll be out of the country. My weigh in is on Saturday, so I thought 27th would cover me.

Hi team, I'll be out of the country starting tomorrow until the 22nd. I'm not sure if I'll have access to a scale. I'll be in Dubai, and I'll be back on my scale on December 27, 2017. @craigo3154 - Any help?

What matters is calories if you don't have a food scale buy one, and start tracking your food intake. Eat the calories that MyFitnessPal tells you. Good luck!

Hi team!! I was almost about to lose 2 pounds this week, but ruined it with eating Indian food, and so many sweet deserts, and no gym visits sorry!! I'm about to go on vacation and was getting it sorted I'll be out of the United States for 2 weeks, and off to Dubai. Username: Lesscookies1 Weigh in Week: Week 1 Weigh in…

What's your current height and and weight?

Hi everyone!! Happy New Year! I was on the December challenge, and found it motivating, and the team is awesome ^_^ look forward to being on this team again. Stay safe, but always have fun!!

I have an app called "My Model" I'm not sure if it's just on IOS, but it will show what you will look like at any weight.

I don't take them, but to each their own.

Wow you're doing great!!

I love this thread .

Errr my family beings in Doughnuts all of the time, so I can relate. Tim hortons is my weakness. I can relate!!

Good commitment list!! I would like to travel more, not be tempted to cut my hair, and spend less time trying to stress about wedding planning. I'm getting married in 2018 ^_^

I think at your height and weight losing 0.5 pounds a week sounds more reasonable, and trying to lose 2 pounds a month be a lot better. You don't have much to lose, and if you want you don't even need to lose weight. You can start a progressive weight lifting program which will help you tone up more, and eat at…

I think different things work for different people. I've gone from 188 pounds to 148, and I don't calorie count, and I don't use a food scale to track my intake. I eat three meals, and sometimes I have a light snack, and I do workout 3 times a week it works for me, and I feel like I'm not obsessing about anything. I think…
