Thanks msanderson27 somethingsorigjy and Kami3006!!! Thanks for putting up with me!!! Thanks everyone!! God’s gonna to bless you all in a special way. 🙌🏾❤️🙏🏾😘

Thank u ironlady70. I’ve been eating more calories than I logged. I’m soooo grateful for all of you!! I will be posting progress in 3 months. Like you said it takes time!! I’m so proud of your accomplishments!

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!!!!

Thanks Deviete. I appreciate all the advice. Good and bad. My journey is just beginning and today I’m going to start logging the right way!! Everyone is sooo helpful and patient. I’m grateful! 🙌🏾😁♥️

Got it ok 👌🏾. Starting today I’m weighing grams and ounces for everything!!! I’m sooo appreciative!!! You all. ROCK!!! 🙌🏾😘❤️🙏🏾

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!

Thanks!!

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 🤷🏽‍♀️
