Wow! You are doing excellent so far. Why mess with a good thing? I'd bet they will gain back their weightloss because they won't learn anything. They truly won't, unless they are educating themselves through books, classes, forums, etc. They aren't going to learn from experience, like you will.

I read it ! When does the person start eating at the TDEE or BMI calorie level? I am pass the point of starting out at a high calorie point and decreasing. So I'm starting out (this month) with 1200/day calories as long as the scale continues to move. But this week I think I might creep up to 1400. The 1200 does affect my…

Nope nothing wrong with that. Try it, see what happens. If not good results, then re-evaluate and follow what MFP says.

LOL, depends on what doctor. Some doctor's say 500 calories and shots are okay too as long as you keep paying them.

Cool! I just bought an eggplant today. I made an Arugula Quinoa Beet salad from Allrecipes tonight. It was good too. And I made the cauliflower crust pizza to go with it (3rd time this week) :)…

Let your doctor know right away.

Just leave it out. If you don't like cilantro you won't miss it in your recipe. I think Parsley and Cilantro are completely different.

I like Hanover Pretzel snaps.. 24 of them is 120 calories. I make my own hummus. Just garbanzo beans, cilantro, garlic, cayenne pepper, and add some juice from the garbanzo can. I don't use tahini or olive oil, although you could add a little olive oil if needed. Without the oil, it breaks down to 13 cals per tablespoon…

Do you eat your exercise calories? If so, then try eating only 1/2 back or none at all. Maybe you are miss calculating your exercise calories. If you aren't eating your exercise calories, then I suggest eating 1/2 back. Maybe you are eating too light. Did you make your diary public so people can offer opinions? Do you…

How has it worked so far? Do you feel you have enough energy to get your workouts in? Are you starving? Are you losing a "safe" amount of weight? It matters what works for you safely. Not what someone else's opinion of how it worked for them. But I understand why you ask the question. I just realized, I have to see what…

I bought Fage today !! Because it was at Sam's club and it was way cheaper than the grocery store. Also, Fage cost even more than Chobani at the grocery store. I'm looking forward to trying it!

Yup and it's great with fresh fruit!

Finger nails? Oh wait, they have calories too: 3 cals. Sorry everything has calories, except water and celery. It'll be interesting to see what people say. I make hummus with just Garbanzo beans, cilantro, garlic and salt. I omit the Olive oil and tahini to save calories. I use the water from the can to make the hummus…

Some people can be so dramatic: "irreparable damage" "for the rest of your life". <-- I highly doubt this.. Some people repair and jump start their metabolism in their 50's. You will always be able to fix whatever you do wrong today, it just may be slightly harder. You can do it though!

You could safely do it, as long as you aren't starvng. Stick to 1200 calories a day and see what happens. If you are starving, then up your calories a bit. Don't worry about how much you are losing everday, worry about how you feel at the end of each day. You don't want to crash and binge because you are so hungry. Or skip…

Use Carrots, Pita Chips, Finger, yummy :) Put it on a tortilla or sandwich.

I would trust the HRM. Keep using the HRM and see if the calories increase over time. Also, the machines are horrible. They aren't reading your heart rate the whole time. And the LesMills opinoin on calories all depends how hard that person puts into it. Someone told me that you can burn 400-500 calories in bodypump and my…

What is your daily calorie intake? Do you eat your exercise calories back?

Excellent point! I didn't even notice that until I read your post! So cool!!

Awesome! Happy 365 days of health!

I love skinny cow as an easy tasty low calorie sweet treat. HOWEVER, my friend is a super dehydrator. I just left her house. She was dehydrating pineapple, bananas and apples. the fruit gets sweeter as it is dehydrated. It was better than candy. I bet the calories could add up quickly. But I'm buying a dehydrator. She also…

I want to make the best of my life, I want to live it to the fullest, no medications or limitations.

Cool!

boil for 15 minutes, with lemon juice and water.

search it on google.

I used frozen fruit. That I froze. Not sure if that matters.

OMG you look so beautiful and healthy!!! Keep up the good work :)

I don't understand how it has risen? We have always spent about $70 at the grocery store for 2 people. Since we went healthier the bill has not gone up. I look for coupons. Fresh Vegetables go way farther in a meal than processed box stuff. A head of broccoli may be $2, but so is a box of mashed potatoes. Canned vegetables…

I wish you could ignore "bumps". I'm sorry, but those are so annoying! Are you really going to come back to read the post after you have reviewed 20 other postings. Come on!!!!
