I enjoy bland flavours quite a lot more than richer “tastier” ones, personally :(

MFP calculated my maintenance at 1,600 but since I got a Fitbit it suggests more around 1,800.

I like to drink peppermint tea in the evenings in place of snacking. It’s a nice warm treat that’s kinder on my teeth than sugary/acidic drinks and snacks

You don’t need to give up either but the acidity of coke is super bad for your tooth enamel so I’d go for that ^^’

Lots of people with similar goals here :D I’m 5’4” at 128 going for 116

I don’t know the parameters of your relationship but personally I’d find it pretty rude and intrusive if my partner started logging everything I ate to present to me in a big old graph that my brain would henceforth title ‘here’s how you are failing’. That’s probably just my own insecurities showing through, but it…

I don’t mean to cause offence but your choice of words makes it sound like you’re in denial about how much you’re actually eating. You suggest that it could be carb sensitivity and that you don’t binge or eat whole bags of sweets - which is fine but you’re gonna need to take responsibility for that weight gain if you’re…

Heya. I’ve only lost 12 so far, with another 12 to go. Honestly, it took me 4/5 weeks to lose 12lbs - as I was not doing it in a healthy way. I’ve since upped my calories, eating a minimum of 1,200. It’s suddenly frustratingly slow - but I’m forcing myself to do it right. I estimate reaching my goal around April.

5’4” at 128lbs (started at 140 going for 116) losing slowly but steadily on 1,200 - 1,300 over here. It’s doable, it’s just.. slow. I reckon you just need to keep at it and keep going.

Could be that posting here has helped her realise this.

I have hypothyroidism which is currently successfully treated and I am steadily losing weight. If you know that your thyroid levels are in check with your current medication then I’d recommend just using MFP to calculate your calories and stick to that. Were you calorie counting as part of your previous weight loss plan?

You don’t have to log with MFP and if we’re talking about only weight loss you don’t even need to eat healthy. If you’re sure you’re accurate with counting and take time to weigh your foods, there’s nothing wrong with counting in your head. The only downside is you can’t track numbers over time. I personally find MFP way…

I’ll just go until I like what I see. If you’re happy and healthy then I wouldn’t let arbitrary numbers affect your decision.

If you feel guilty now imagine how you’ll feel when you’ve finished all the goodies. If you can’t start whilst the food is there you could always donate it to a charity.

I’m also trying to lose a final 12lbs. Do you wanna be friends? ^.^

Uh.. I’m not the OP.

I’m aware of that and I appreciate your input, but a lower weight is my preference :)

I weighed in at 126 this morning - still got a 31inch waist and I’m just an inch taller than you. I think with your measurements I’d be quite happy, but I just don’t have a shape I’m satisfied with, so I’m aiming to go down to 116 ^.^

My TDEE was calculated at 1,600 - lately even eating at that amount is leaving me hungry - maybe that’s too low? For the last week my hunger has been almost insatiable, it’s pretty weird, though I just saw a thread mentioning being more hungry during ovulation so maybe that could be an explanation? I’ve been using the…

Huh. You may just have solved my mystery hunger!

Hey! I’d be interested in being yoga friends, though I’m an absolute beginner and incredibly inflexible >.<

I’m 5’4” at 128lbs going for 116lbs. Wanna be friends? :D

If you have depression you need to see another doctor about it. Given whats happened to you I think it’s incredibly insensitive and irresponsible of your doctor to suggest weight loss over an actual treatment for a valid mental health concern. I’m not saying don’t lose weight if you want to, but please try to care for both…

She’s clearly not happy at that weight, that’s why she’s here. No one said there’s anything wrong with that weight in general.

I’m 5’4” at 128 going for 125, then maintaining and maybe 116 afterwards.

Hello ^.^

Any period of time that you’re not eating is fasting

I bet you get lots of woos huh

I also doubt that a whole 6lbs is water weight. You’ve definitely made progress, and I think sometimes it’s normal to stall for a little while?

I started off low like you, but I’ve since moved up to 1,300 calories and I’m still losing quite quickly. I’m gonna give it another week and then look at upping by another 100 or 200 calories just to slow things down (I lost about 10lbs in a month). I’m also 5’4” and currently at 128lbs, so I’d recommend sticking to the…
