Proud of you and rooting did you. Just remember his is a lifestyle change not a diet. The goal is build a healthy relationship with food. So make sure you don’t restrict too hard and get burn out. And to consistently over eat either. Just find that healthy middle.

I eat about 1,800 calories a day. It equals out to about 1 pound lost a week. I might give myself a little leeway 300-500 calories if I'm particularly active that day.

I think it's mostly useful if you are body building and wanting to see your macro nutrients. Like keeping tabs on your protein intake and stuff. If you are wanting to build muscle you need to see the nutrient breakdown of your meals. But as far as for me? (and most people) just keeping a simple accountability of our…

Haha. I would be a little surprised because we are already friends on MFP. And probably try to awkwardly say hello lmaooo

No disrespect. But she must be lying or doesn’t know how to count her calories correctly. Unless she’s like extremely active or 7 foot tall. She is not eating 3,000 calories a day. Lol.

It’s like people think that calories are a substance. Like carbs or something. Calories are a unit of measurement. It’s the “energy” in your food. Counting your calories, ultimately, is how weight works. You will never gain weight eating under your calories. And never lose weight eating over. That’s just factual,…

Feel free to add me. I’m super active

Generally, you want to learn how to eat properly during and change the way you are eating to sustain a better more healthy weight. While I'm sure your way will work (if you have the will power to stick to it - I don't think I would) it's because when you are at matience you'll still have to adhere to portion control ect...…

the best way to get an "accurate" weight is to weight once a week, preferably after 8 hours of fasting (waking up from sleep is best way to accomplish this). Your weight is going to wildly flux from day-to-day.

Your weight will always be a matter of math. Calories in vs calories out is always going to be king.

The difference between a diet and lifestyle change IMO is that a diet is normally restrictive and temporary. Like, my goal is to lose 10 pounds - I’m not going to eat carbs for 2 weeks to lose that ten pounds - then I’m going back to my “normal” habits. However, a lifestyle change IMO is education. Learning how food works…

I do cardio at planet fitness. Lol. I’m so boring and basic

Haha. Very sleepy. It’s 3am here. Having trouble sleeping.

Our minds like to conceptualize calories in 24 hour periods - because that's how we understand time. But the important thing is that you're eating spending more calories than you take in over time. Hence why a 500 calorie deficit equals one pound of weight loss per week - because 500 x 7 is negative 3,500 calories. One…
