yes, as soon as I went from 1200 to 1300 I stopped losing completely. I temporarily went insane, and am currently back to 1200 after a month and a half without losing anything. I'm almost afraid that I might have somehing wrong with me, if I can't eat more than 1200 cals a day without maintaining :indifferent:

before MFP, I was eating 800-900 calories a day, was always hungry, and wondered why I wasn't losing. I currently eat around 1300 a day, and maintain if I eat anything more than that. However, I am extremely lazy, and have not yet worked out, at all. I strongly recommend working out and all that good stuff, and a normal…

and what if you don't do anything but sit all day, but youre awake?

I have no idea, but I know that if I eat ANYTHING more than 1250 a day I won't lose, at all :tongue:

actually, now that I've checked, how did you log standing? I don't see it under exercises :noway:

this sounds interesting! if it's true, I'll never sit down again :laugh:

muffin tops used to mean we were chubby. now they mean almost fiting into a smaller size and victory! congrats :D

I wish I would have thought to ask this question. I've been going out with my best friend for 2 months now. At first, I was confused and thought it would be a bad idea, but I did it anyway. Now, I don't have any regrets. Do what you think is best for your individual situation. Good luck :D

I remember being 6 years old or so and making my own Nutella by adding Hershey's chocolate syrup to my peanut butter. am I the only one who's ever done that? =)

use artificial swwetener. I like splenda. be sure to use the baking kind. I don't like pie crust, so I just baked it in a casserole dish instead. Substituting splenda for sugar and omitting pie crust can save almost 200 calories!! IT'S THE RECIPE FROM THE LIBBY'S CANNED PUMPKIN =) hope this helps

been a vegetaran for 18 months too, and the hardest thing for me is learning to eat more vegetables :0

can't pick just one favorite band, lol, but definitely avenged sevenfold, disturbed, and alesana. somehow, I've never been to a concert D:

if hula hooping burns that many calories, then It's time for me to invest in a hula hoop!! =)

glad to know i'm not the only one as has this mentality when there's junk food ;)

until you feel like you're dying, then do 10 more ;D

due to a crazy schedule, I don't get enough sleep either! I have been losing weight consistently though, so I'm not sure how it affects weight loss, but this is an interesting question

My personal challenge is also recommitting... to studying, exercising, and orchestra! I have found that as class continues, my schedule keeps getting busier and busier. My goal is to do some form of physical activity every day, and to eat more veggies! Also limiting myself to one fake meat product per day, as they are so…

I'm only "allowed" to eat 1200 calories daily, so I guess I'll have to start exercising =P

i was eating about 600-900 calories aday before mfp. i now eat 1150 (I'm 5'0 and inactive so dont get mad at how few it is)

I've been wanting to try those but my mom won't buy me any since they're so expensive. i love pretty much anything that is sun dried tomato and basil flavored though :)

my parents fought me for a year when I decided to go veggie. I still live with them, but now they understand. i do end up cooking my own food most of the time though. go for it! worst-case scenario-- they dissapprove and you have to wait till later. good luck :)

add me to team the lost causes :)

I love vegetable soup or green beans. I sometimes eat fatfree light yogurt when I'm still hungry. and I LOVE bean burritos. if you skip the cheese and choose a healthier tortilla they can be good for you (i think)

Rose Mortem.... I write... but am too embarrassed to put my real name on my writing! This is my pseudonym :) Rose is my middle name. Mortem cuz my writing is often classified by my stupid teenage friends as "morbid" "grotesque" and "emo"

I eat the same way! my family thinks I'm crazy, but I only eat when I'm hungry, that's it. I've found that nuts, brown rice, peanut butter, etc. are good high calorie foods that aren't too bad for you. and I've taken to cooking with olive oil to add a few extra calories. I usually consume 1100-1200 calories per day (I'm…

so true! now i only have bread about once or twice a month, and i've reduced my pasta intake by almost 3/4 on my quest for better health. i'm trying to eat more fruit & veggies, but those soft pretzels and bean burritos get me evry time! lol

bean burritos!!!! and soft pretzels, but only if they're covered with cinnamon sugar, lol

my mother calls me a "carbitarian" bc my favorite foods are bread and pasta! i was raised on beef jerky, steak, and ribs, but I've been vegetarian for 2 years. picky eater, don't eat a lot of fresh fruits & veggies, but I'm weaning myself off of canned veggies and processed foods. would love to not eat anything processed…

I like DaVinci Gourmet sugar free caramel syrup. i got it from sam's club.

I am a pizza addict. in fact, it's a tradition of mine and my family's to eat hungry howies pizza after every orchestra concert i perform in... which is about 3-4 every 3 months. however, i always end up eating 5 slices of pizza, plus soda. i can't drink soda anymore, but i still loveeee pizza. all these alternatives sound…
