low 130s (BMI between 23.8 and 24.2 depending on day atm) while I take a break/decide where to go from here

stopped listening to other people's opinions of when/what I should be eating. I do much better if I eat when actually hungry and the food I actually want vs following tips along the lines of "limit carbs after lunch" "dinner should be your smallest meal" etc coming from friends and family... I feel best/least hungry when I…

like others have said, if your TDEE is around 2000 I'd stick to a 500ish deficit or even less if only aiming to lose10kg - I've lost the last 10ish kg on a roughly 300-350kcal deficit to get from roughly a BMI of 27.7 to 23.8 and I'm a short (159cm) and mostly sedentary woman who maintains on 1700 or so. 1200 can be too…

up roughly 3lbs but I expect it to drop back down relatively quickly, I had more food than usual and a lot of salt, I was expecting a spike (2 christmas meals - one with each set of grandparents, new years, and then my dad's birthday.. not to mention everyone baking cake, cookies, etc) I'm sticking to a slight deficit and…

I'm between 5'2 and 5'3, currently taking a break from losing to maintain in the low 130s but want to eventually drop to the low 120s and stay there

2009 close to my heaviest July 2019 December 2019 (I got excited about some new outfits I just got in the mail, hence the creased dresses hah) 5kg to go

my weight's slowly getting more stable (technically have another 4-5kg to hit my goal, but I'm now on the higher end of normal BMI) after I actually ended up losing more/faster than I wanted... apparently despite basically maintaining this past month I'm still shrinking a tiny bit and I've been slowly replacing my…

If you weigh and measure your food properly there's no reason to leave significant margins. I aim for 1300 a day or so (5'2-5'3 mostly sedentary woman, on the high end of normal BMI), and I'm happy if I'm +-50kcal. Some people suggest only eating back part of your exercise calories, but if you're a guy that should still…

I was around 19-20 years old when I was at my biggest and I couldn't fit into what was the biggest regular womens size in most shops anymore (I think that was EU size 48 and I needed a size 50 or 52?)... while being only 5'2

I don't get this *exactly* but I struggle falling asleep if I'm genuinely hungry.. would making your dinner your main/biggest meal maybe be an option?

I would *strongly* recommend getting a cheap kitchen scale and weighing your portions. Chances are your guesses are way off. It's why I don't eyeball stuff either, I've accidentally both gained and lost weight while trying to maintain without using scales. I'm between 5'2 and 5'3 and around 133lbs atm, walk about 1/3 to…

Like.. actual weight or "weight dropping off after massive water retention"? Because actual weight maybe 2-3lbs when I was obese (now maybe 2lbs a month)... the 2nd - I remember one particularly miserable week when I bloated up by almost 20lbs (and then lost those same 20lbs over the next week)

basically cut out most sweets and juices/(non-diet) soda out of my diet - most of my sugar comes from fruit these days (and the occasional treat aka a cookie or a piece of chocolate) I do drink diet coke almost daily, I haven't noticed anything bad about it so far (I'm no expert tho)

I'm roughly 5'2 in non-metric measurements, I'm at a BMI of 24.4-24.6 depending on the day these past 2 weeks (so 130s in lbs) I'm currently at 81cm for my bust, 64cm for my waist at its narrowest, and roughly 95cm for my hips (so yes, kinda pear shaped - I think this translates to 32-25-37ish?)

I got really used to fitting into mostly M (occasionally L) past few years... following the size charts, I had to order a size XS dress (I'm still on the top end of normal BMI but hey, i tend to go by how my clothes fit more than my weight anyway)

I'm currently within normal BMI range (towards the high end of it) but I'm aiming for another 4-5kg

1st week of July, 1st week of October. I just hit a BMI of 24.9 this morning

I went back to calorie counting back in late June, was just surprised when looking at my weight between early August (when I first weighed myself again) and today... Apparently I'm down almost 14lbs in just over 2 months About my activity level - in terms of steps it varies a lot. I just checked my phone and this past few…

I haven't been feeling the greatest but I kinda put it down to personal issues/stress (had a lot of that past few months)... but thinking about it maybe I've been fidgeting/moving around more, and maybe walking a bit more than usual - just didn't think it would add up that much. I'll try and throw in a small snack and see…

yeah, I'm a bit concerned about where I could possibly be getting 300-400 extra kcal through activity though (I like to be consistent/precise)

changing my goals from 1200kcal to 1300kcal a day.. I know it's only 100kcal but it's the difference between uncomfortably hungry and feeling fine for me

I'm literally maybe 2 weeks away from hitting a normal weight for my height, if my diet stays on track

If I didn't count my vegetables and still aimed for my 1300 net kcal per day I'd probably be *actually* eating around 1600.. which is the difference between slow weight loss and maintenance for me

About 15lbs, after a 16 day vacation and a full day of travelling in the middle of a heat wave - I'm only 5'2 so I was shocked when I weighed myself (granted, I was about 40lbs heavier back then than my current weight to begin with). I dropped all but 2lbs of that weight in about a week after I got home - I could tell it…

Nothing. Though I did reduce how much bread and fried food I eat

* MFP * Having a fridge with a decent sized freezer, I sometimes meal prep and freeze leftovers in weighed portions for me to heat up * My food scale * Basic workout equipment at home (mat, decent pair of shoes, some weights) * Diet coke/sugarfree ice tea (yes I know it's not the healthiest thing but it beats drinking…

Managed 10 proper pushups in a row without having to stop. My upper body has always been really weak and slow to improve so I'm pretty happy. Still nowhere close to "best shape of my life" (back when I was about 7 years younger, when I could do 30+) but getting closer at least

I eat about 2/3 of mine back. I'm a short female so to lose weight I'm already in the 1200-1300kcal a day target range as it is (I maintain at 1600something when not working out), if I don't eat at least some of them back I feel really tired after a while - I can't imagine doing my daily walk/yoga and then a 40ish min long…

In lbs, my heaviest (known) weight was about 205.. I didn't really touch exercise apart from going for an occasional walk until I hit maybe 160lbs - everything else was purely just calorie counting

I'm also eating about 1300 a day, with a goal of 57-58kg Nothing wrong with starting some strength training "early" (aka before you hit your goal weight), having some muscle can change how you feel/look a lot (not in a "bulky" way, but just in general - feeling stronger and seeing measurements go down)
