  • The change is very minor, so at the most, reset your goal 50%, 75% and 100% as you progress to target weight unless losing 150+ lbs.

  • I've lost 80lbs so far and have 20lbs to go with open and complete food/exercise diary. Extra friends would be appreciated since most of mine have fallen away, so add me if you like.

  • SW - 260 CW - 187 GW - 160 Never tried to lose weight before, never enjoyed exercise and never had a healthy diet. I still have a poor diet overall, still hate exercise but achieving weight loss without completely turning my world upside down. Key is to do what you can when you can on your terms, then you'll stick with it.…
    in How far are you from your goal weight? Comment by belladamjc March 2019
  • The recommendation is 1-2 glasses of wine per day. Bear in mind that you wouldn't have drunk (much) for your first 20 years. Therefore you're obliged to eat into the 7-15,000 glass reserve that has been accrued for optimal health during your early years. After all, the doctor is always right! ;)

  • I've lost 41 pounds so far in 6 months (1.57 pounds per week) on 1500 calories per day (which is 2 pounds per week target) and I rarely eat back any exercise calories. I've been monitoring my overall weight loss per week and it's never exceeded my target and I am religious about weighing and logging food. There's no way I…

  • If you're being really honest with yourself, you'll realise that you are in control of your eating. You're choosing to buy, cook, chew and swallow foods that you know will cause weight gain. Partly because it tastes good, you feel better when you're eating something, you're just hungry and want food in your stomach etc.…

  • I'm 48 and down almost 30 of a target 100 pounds at a managed 1.75lbs per week. I largely maintain my old eating habits with weight training, so I focus on protein target and then fill calories with carbs up to my limit. Works fine and I don't have to make any major painful dietary adjustments, besides eliminating soda.

  • Going outside the standard box a little, for protein with a minimum of fat, game is ideal particularly in the fall/autumn. Venison or roast pheasant/other game bird with a variety of fruity sauces or stewed rabbit. There are loads of recipes that can be tinkered slightly for a low calorie feast! :)

  • I could be wrong as this is all very individual, but perhaps you might be looking at it the wrong way. Don't start out looking at the end game, steeling yourself to make some big changes for the huge weight loss. Start small like log your food intake, make some small changes in food type or quantity that aren't that…

  • I tried 'eating back exercise calories' using MFP's numbers and found my weight went up. Now I log the exercise (both cardio and strength) so I can note the changes over time, but I ignore them completely from a food perspective and my weight loss is steady but still short of target. I do try and hit my protein goal to…

It will be frustrating and difficult emotionally to maintain the motivation on a daily basis and setbacks will occur.

  • I'm in a household where I don't dictate the meals either, so for extra protein I have a can of tuna, either alone or with a salad or in a sandwich depending on other macros. A small tub of yoghurt is a good additional filler or veggies/fruit as available. I stay away from protein shakes as I can eat meat/fish and other…
    in Trying to figure out how to add more calories, since seems with my strat, it's a bit aggressive Comment by belladamjc August 2018
  • Calorie Deficit = BMR + Exercise Calories Burnt - Calories Consumed so on rest day it's: Calorie Deficit = 2050 + 0 - 1700 = 350 on exercise day eating back your calories, it's: Calorie Deficit = 2050 + 700 - 2400 = 350 if you ate back only half your calories, it's: Calorie Deficit = 2050 + 700 - 2050 = 700
    in Calorie deficits?????? Comment by belladamjc August 2018
  • Focus on net calories to your target. MFP assumes you eat back your exercise calories otherwise your deficit could be substantial and you risk adverse health consequences. :)
    in Total or net calories? Comment by belladamjc August 2018
  • If my daily weight goes up for whatever reason, it sometimes makes my stomach turn over briefly, but it also boosts my determination to ensure I stick firmly to the process and I work out that little bit harder!! A continuing reminder that it's so easy to slip back ensures that I don't.
