I have a food scale. I measure everything, meats, fruits, veggies, oils, sauces, etc. If it has a label on it, I scan it. I have a Fitbit that tracks... adds calories to MyFitnessPal. No im not eating all my calories back from exercise. I'm to full to eat the rest as I explained in my post. Anything I'm missing?

@aeloine what's the supposed to mean? Please explain? Since I'm new to all this, I'm sorry if it's dumb to you. Maybe I don't know what you know. So please, elaborate!

Yes. My husband is smaller than me, though he is very tall. 6'2 and about 190 pounds. He has a very active job. He eats like an animal!! I got into a bad habit of trying to keep up with eating with him, and I eventually gained 40 pounds since being with him! I'm 5'2 and 280 pounds! I've tried dieting before while being…

Thanks guys

Noo! Like apple cider vinegar to clean out your system! Anything that could cause extra pounds!

@scarlett_k I mean like built up colon or whatever

@amusedmonkey. I'm not really sure which is right. So I just go with the lowest cals! That's what I been doing.

If anyone is wondering, I use Fitbit app and this. My Fitbit app says something completely different than my MyFitnessPal. If I ate as many cals on burned from my Fitbit app, then I feel like I'd be miserable and I wouldn't even know if I could lose weight. My body has its own cals burn just from doing nothing, siting,…

@amyepdx everything I ate that day was scanned with barcode. Went to website to check cals from my dinner. Pretty sure 2 helpings of sweet potatoe fries are defiantly 800 cals. The chicken I had was smaller than what I make at home and I usually eat 6oz. I did a lot of exercise yesterday. Running, stair climbing, walked 4…

This post helps me so much. All this info answered lots of questions I've had.

Well, I just had a huge *kitten* class of milk and some ovaltine. My belly is full. I was hungry earlier this evening but was so busy I didn't get a chance to eat. I usually don't have THIS many cals left FYI. But sometimes it's like 500-200 left. So I guess eat if I'm not even hungry..? And @KiwiGirl38 I eat all those…

I hate eating late! I had a late dinner! I was so busy during the day, that I barely had a lunch or any snacks! So if this happens, should I eat most of the calories remaining? Or??

Ahhh

@livingleanlivingclean yeah I guess I am a kid? I just started a "healthy life style" so of course I'm new at this and not so educated like you and others. You all had to start somewhere.. so the fact I found out about this brand just now, thanks to a friend on here, i figured I'd share it with other people who didn't…

Thank you guys for the support and advice ❤️

@Spliner1969 my diet is pretty well maintained for sure. High protein, lots of veggies, moderate fruits, I eat back the calories burned. I'm not depriving myself of foods I love, I eat 80% healthy and then depending on how many calories I have left, I eat my fav food within my calories. So that hasn't seemed to be an…

I've literally tried everything and it won't sync

THANK YOU EVERYONE!! This is why I come here for questions. If I went to webMD my answer would be:you are dying of cancer and you have 6 months to live.

Before I changed my eating habits. I rarely drank water. I was literally drinking nothing at all unless it was black coffee or Starbucks coffee with cream. So that's also another reason why my body was like whoa what's going on here! Lol

I don't have diabeates lol. I usually pee in the middle of the day, none at night. Since I've posted this discussion, I haven't been peeing as much. I think my body is getting used to how much water intake I have now, and the veggies and protein I eat. It was just the first 3 days my bladder was like going crazy.

If I was put on a 1200 calorie diet, I'd just work out a *kitten* ton and make more calories for myself lol. See if that works if you eventually start to feel hungry and unsatisfied.

I eat lots of veggies (compared to when I was eating a crappy diet) and I have 20+ grams of protein each meal. I try to drink 40-60oz of water a day. So maybe that's why.

I'm 286 pounds and I'm barely drinking 64oz of water. Someone my weight and size should be drinking more than that. My pee is defiantly clear. I also and starting to think I have a pea sized bladder then

WORK OUT: so since I'm so over weight, im trying to just walk 20-30 mins a day moderately. My heart rate was at 155 just by me doing 20 mins at 2.5mph... that's really high isn't it? Or is that normal for someone my weight (286) @ 5'2, 1500 cal a day in order to lose 2 pounds per week @ the age of 23.

I agree 100% with @Jthanmyfitnesspal I'm 23 years old and grew up in an Italian family that ate whatever they want, when they want, how ever much they wanted. I do somewhat blame them for passing that life style on to me when I was younger and became big very fast and those habits brought into my adult life. If you can…

I'm actually 286. Still out rageous and embarrassing!! But a lot less than I thought it was. Going to check my macros, calorie intake again. By putting my goal weight on here. Losing 2 pounds a week, and exercise goals per week. I will weigh myself monthly. It'll be hard not obsessing. But I already feel a difference in my…

Ok guys I'm stepping on the scale this morning. Lol. Don't want to see the number!! So ashamed and in disbelief if it's as high as what I think it is. I will track my weight every month and take pictures every 3 months.

Maybe I'll weigh in once a month. But even then guys, it might discourage me. But you're right, I need to keep track some how. I didn't weigh myself when I started. Should I the next following day, just so I have an actual number to look @. Numbers consume me, and I literally obsess over it. I'd rather just go by how I…

@jdog022 I never thought of it that way, eating the most I can to start while help me long term. Just more veggies and fruits? I'm not sure what to eat most of to make me feel full and not feel guilty?

@jdog022 Okay. Yeah you're 100% right! That's usually what happens every time I try to diet! I been drinking lots of water so, so far I don't feel like I'm starving myself. Plus I'm not depriving myself from some carbs I love. So I think that'll help me not go crazy. BUT idk what will happen when cravings to hit me!…
