  • Thank you. Yes that’s my goal to build my metabolism!! A nutritionist who is also a cross fitter said it took her 20 years to be able to eat 3000 calories and maintain!!! So I know it’s a long haul. I appreciate you. My metabolism sucks. It’s improving!! Today I start with the weighing in grams
  • Thanks Danp!!!!

  • What’s Woo?
  • Thanks Charlie!
  • Ok got it. Thanks Lilly ❤️
  • I don’t use oils in cooking. I scramble eggs with pam or boil them
  • Lol yes. I meticulously try to measure everything. I don’t like too much syrup so yes just a tablespoon sweetened enough for me. I will start weighing everything and use grams from here on out. I’m grateful to you all!!! ❤️♥️😘🙏🏾
  • Put the package on scale? It’s frozen. Ok I will do.
  • Yes I understand MFP rules. I must be eating 1700 calories or more. That’s all I can conclude. Thanks for support. Diary is open.
  • Ok opening it now. Hold on. Thanks everyone for your sincerity and listening to my ranting 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️😘
  • Lol. Thanks for understanding. I’m will weigh everything. What about my healthy choice meals?
  • Ok thanks sooo much
  • Ok yes I’ll open my diary now. I’m new to MFP. let me check it now. Don’t get me wrong I do eat over 1000 calories at times. But some days after drinking gallon of water I’m not so hungry. Im willing to do all I can do to keep the scale moving down.
  • Thank you. Maybe I am eating more. I will revisit this after a month. I scan packages when logging. My diary is open. I workout a lot too. I know my Metabolism is messed up it’s still recovering. I have gained more muscle so I’m proud of that. Thanks again 🙏🏾❤️
  • Thanks sooo much. I’m receptive. I truly am. Even my trainer at gym said to eat more... i just don’t lose. I’ll start again. Maybe I’m losing at 1400 or 1500 or 1700. Maybe my logging is off. I started counting gum crystal light everything now... just frustrated because as soon as I eat more the scale will move upward...…
  • I’m looking for support and advice. I do use a good scale. Mainly for protein which I can have a lot of!!! Lol. I was sharing my weight loss woes. I shared that I tried all the eating my suggested calories and working out. I did this for 6 months. I gained muscle but no weight loss. Most days I consume small healthy meals…
  • Thanks soo much for this group!
  • Yes my body fat is 50% TDEE IS 1761.. I did all this. I got on a body composition scale. I have gained muscle metabolism improved a bit but I didn’t lose weight. Like I said 🤷🏽‍♀️. Now I’m walking 4 miles a day and eating 1000 calories some times more or less but every week now I’m losing 🤷🏽‍♀️
  • Today I burned 900 calories jogging and walking. MFP adds your burn for you to eat. But no lie if I notice I said I obese person eat all the calories I burned.... I won’t lose. I may stay the same or even gain. Maybe it’s just me! I have went to the doctor nothings wrong with me medically. He said keep burning more than…
  • Thanks for this!!! Yes I’m obese working my way down. My findings were based on 6 months of cross fit. Which is cardio and strength training. I didn’t lose one pound in 6 months. I was eating the recommended calories and the ones I burned as suggested. I stayed the same weight. I was eating 1450-2000 calories a day. No…
  • I’m saying I don’t lose. I maintain or gain if I don’t restrict my calories. My BMR IS 1451 to 1600 or so. So when I eat more no exercise I stay the same. However when I create a deficit and eat 1000 calories I lose. That’s all I’m saying.
  • Thank you. Finally someone who gets it!!!
  • Listen everyone I’m not here to give bad advice or bash anyone who eat high calories and lose or maintain. I’m just saying on most days not all if I restrict my calories and walk my 4 miles a day I lose weight. Some days it’s 1000 some days 800 or I eat over 1400 1700 2000. But at the end of the week if I create a deficit…
  • Thanks. I understand. However I’m not losing on 1700 calories. I maintain at best 🤷🏽‍♀️
