I think it is because they just count the difference between they (MFP) calories they estimate and the calories your device says you burn.

I actually get much more intense cravings when I eat healthy food. Unlike most people on here, I am literally losing weight on mostly junk food. If I eat food I enjoy, I am satisfied with it. When I eat healthy food (most of which I don't enjoy) I feel hungry all day regardless of the calories and macros. And I do…

I don't follow anything in particular. I just fast for 24 hours on Monday. Stay under my calorie goal, but not a lot under, on the other days. I snack before I go to bed Monday night so I don't feel uncomfortable and over hungry Tuesday morning, but go the full 24 hours. I make sure I make something my husband likes but I…

I eat less than 300 for breakfast most days. Roughly 400 for lunch, 600 for dinner and 200-400 for snacks depending on my exercise. Some days I skip breakfast and/or lunch to have pizza or other such deliciousness. I'm not a particularly healthy eater, I aim more for calories than macros or nutrition at this point. I've…

The last two times I've checked my blood pressure (December and January) it was in the "prehypertension range". Checked it today and it's normal!

Do you use a corset? Your waist is amazing!!!!!

I'm 31, 5'2, and 130 (ish) lbs. I also used to be skinny, but in the last 3-5 years I've packed on the pounds. At the beginning of the year I was at 138, and I've lost about 6 lbs since. I was 106 for a long time, then 112, but at some point I started eating more I guess, and became a housewife so I wasn't on my feet all…

Not if they really look like Harley Quinn!

You totally can, but you will lose more muscle which will mean that your maintenance calories will be much lower. You also will be happier with your body if you do some exercise because otherwise you will get "skinny fat". I have two babies, a homeschooled 4 year old, and I babysit two more kids in the afternoon. I still…

I'm 5'2, and other than my family teasing me for it, it's never bothered me. I don't mind asking for help or climbing to get stuff. The only reason I wish I was taller is so I could eat more lol

Oftentimes when you lose significant weight your cup size goes up! I was looking at someone's measurement chart and she went from a 36B to a 32D, because her underbust shrunk 4 inches, but her bust only shrank 2 inches. So her boobs got smaller, but they looked bigger on her frame.

You could take home the cup, fill it with as much ice as you use, then see how much water it takes to fill it.

In an another thread someone suggested Veggie Straws, which are delicious, and like pretzel sticks you get a lot per serving.

Veggie Straws give you lots more chips for the calories but still taste like chips. I love them when I'm counting calories. Pretzel sticks also give you a lot per serving (both of them give you around 50, vs. about 11 for most chips). Baked chips are about 20 calories less than regular chips, which adds up if you eat them…

Workout clothes 2 sizes smaller than I wear, as motivation :)

I never thought of that lol. I mean I know I can weigh the kernals but I never thought of popping mine separately from my husband's so I can count it...

Pretzel sticks. I feel like popcorn is hard to get a calorie count, and without butter it's just disappointing (although I do eat it for some snack variety). Pretzel sticks give you 50+ pretzel sticks per serving, for like 110 calories if I remember correctly. You can make that last a long time! I always try to make my…

Don't set to low of calorie allowance. If you are feeling deprived and hungry all the time you won't be able or to stick to it to long. Be realistic, you don't have to cut out anything, as long as you are not eating over your calorie limit. I for one can't eat nothing but healthy food and ever feel full. It's probably all…

Just eat when you want to! There is research to show that people lose more weight when they eat in a small window each day. Intermittent Fasting is what it's called. You can lose weight no matter what or when you eat if you have a calorie deficit!

I think you are going to be miserable at 1200 calories a day. I know rapid weight loss is so motivating, but it's hard to keep the weight off. Instead, find out what maintenance calories would be for your goal weight, and eat 10% less. I've tried 1200 calories or less, and some days I do fine, but it's just so few calories…

I have dieted like that before, and gained the weight back pretty quickly. Maybe you should go for a less intense goal, and give yourself a little breathing room. This time I'm aiming for only half a pound a week. Yeah, I hope that I lose more, and I often eat under my calories, but having room for 1540 calories feels so…

I once wore leggings that I didn't know we're see through in the back. I don't wear leggings unless I'm hanging around the house (I exercise at home), but I did go out to get the mail. I was wondering disturbed/embarrassed when I went to the bathroom later and could see my underpants through the leggings!!!! Once I saw a…

I don't think people should have called you out, but I think your parents should have set some paramaters to help you maintain a healthy weight while you were a child. My sister was overweight as an older child and teenager. When she was about 17 she worked really hard to lose the weight and had kept it off (more or less)…

I go once a day in the morning 90% of the time. I . Sometimes, usually if I've been eating a lot of junk and hardly any water, my body revolts and I'll have an "episode" where I go like 3-4 times in like 30 minutes with terrible cramps. Which is super fun when it happens at someone else's house or when I'm out for the day.…

I used it in addition to lots of regular walking and a few other random videos when I lost about 15lbs a couple years ago. I liked it because it was easy enough for me to do the whole video with no breaks. I'm not using it this time because it isn't a very efficient calorie burner, I've been doing Blogilates, and it's more…

I've been doing Blogilates Beginner's Calendar and my son (4) likes to do the videos with me. When I turn one on and he hears it he comes in and says "Is that Cassey? Can I exercise too?"
