Um yeah, I tried eating 1200 for a year and gained 30 pounds, I have an efficiency model body. I didn't start loosing until last week when I ate around 1000. I am tall and have an extra long digestive track, so I probably get more bang for my buck, but I also take supplements to make sure I am getting enough nourishment.

I have taken vitamins and minerals and drank lots of water the whole time I was loosing. I lost 120 in about 10 months and started getting a little saggy so I went into maintenance for a year. The sagginess is gone and now I am going to loose the last 60. If I start to get saggy again I am going to pause again and let my…

Thanks Skinnyjeansbound. Nice to know I'm not alone. When I first got my HRM it was a little intimidating but trial and error I finally got it programmed. This is one thing that is a result of my marriage. I came from a family that thinks reading directions is for wimps. But my eagle scout hubby always reads directions and…

My news feed (wall, whatever you call it) hasn't been working all day...just me or are some of you missing your daily kudos from friends?

Quick check in here--Lost 3 pounds last week. So it is confirmed I have to do 1000 calories a day. At 1200 I gain so 1100 must be maintenance for me.

My hubby was under the threat of loosing his job for quit awhile, now that they are no longer telling him his job is the next one to go he is starting to like his job again. It seems like a no brainer to me, that pressuring people with their job security is not good for moral.

skinnyjeansbound - I haven't logged into the virtual walk across America in a very long time. I am still walking but I felt like I was all alone doing that and didn't see the point. RobinsEgg - thanks for the sympathy, if I had the chance to change anything in my life, I would not be living in a condo. Live and learn.…

queendebor - Welcome back! :flowerforyou: And congrats on loosing some of your backslide pounds, you inspire me. MyMOwMOw - It is a challenge when you have various health issues to learn what you can and can't eat. But MFP is a great place to learn. By logging your food and making notes about how you feel each day you will…

Happy Fourth of July! Tina! so glad that you got a walk and have a glimpse of how wonderful you are! Joandue Welcome, you picked one of the most supportive groups in MFP to start with. My hubby has the day off so we are about to head off to the park to walk the dog. (MFP says 3MPH is dog walking speed, I am lucky if I can…

Most veggies are precooked, they can be used frozen, I suppose it is a matter of taste. We have started drinking a fruit, spinach, flax seed, and keifer smoothie. It is good and certainly nutrition dense! I like it for days I need to get moving quickly and won't be able to eat again for several hours.
-
Tina (trhjrh06) I know what you mean the 30 pounds I gained back came back in different proportions to where they were lost from. In my case, my thighs got heavier, which is good because it made my pants tight and that was a red flag to put the breaks on and try something new. I hope you find what you need in order to…

DRINK YOUR WATER! she's baaaack.:wink:

I havn't paid any attention to the message boards on MFP for six months and here you guys still are trying to kill this thread! LOL

so true My hubby and I have lost over 200 lbs between us and we did it by promising ourselves a trip to the bakery on the weekend if we were good all week. Is this a cheat? well, yes, if you count anything that is not diet food as a cheat, but not if it is the thing that keeps you from craving all week and quitting at the…

Oh I so want to be her!

Now you have done the hard work, don't let it creep back on. You can do that too!

Drink your…

I have been sleeping a lot the last few days. Got a little behind on the 30 Day Power Purge, but my house is officially half done and we are keeping it tidy where the work has been done and that is very encouraging to me. Because I have been sick and not moving much I havn't had any progress so far this week, but I am…

Turns out the extreme exhaustion was the onset of stomach flu. won't go into details how i lost 2.6 pounds over night. I hope I can keep some of that loss. The assignment today is home office...oh so not going to happen. I will need to spend a month in there..but I plan to attack my living room desk and try to finish the…

Oh I am so totally tired. Yesterday when I read that the chore was to clean out our books I almost passed out and wound up not doing anything. DH and I were both raised by school teachers and have advanced degrees, to say that we are book lovers is an understatement. The best thing that has happened for our sanity is the…

This is brilliant I worked at a bank for over a year and applied for one of their credit cards and was denied because I had never gone in debt. Huh? No one ever said banks were logical. I worked a social services job for a while and learned how to live on less, eventually I had to find a better paying job because it was…

Friday, after a day of working on the 30 Day Purge we went over to visit my parents, my mom was not doing well, and I woke up Saturday feeling like i needed a day of rest, so I postponed doing my Day Six Power Purge assignment a day (today is a scheduled day of rest for the group) so i won't be behind tomorrow. I am glad i…

The 30 Day Power Purge https://www.facebook.com/hannahkeeleyfriends is taking a lot of my time because I haven't done anything like this since 2009. Our home is small so we have to stay organized, but it is still amazing how many things I have found that reorganizing and purging the accumulated "stuff" has improved. I am…

GrammyWhammy - :blushing: thank you Tuesday Goals: A cousin has asked me to join her in the 30-Day Power Purge, which is a whole house clean and de-clutter project. http://hannahkeeley.com/blog/30-day-power-purge-day-two We are on day two. I am going to wear my HRM to see how much I burn doing this since it is "above and…

Imackbethl - Congrats on reaching the big 50! Hey I just figured something out. When this message board gets moving too fast I sometime can't find where I last posted, but if I go to my profile page it is listed in the left hand column and I just click on it and it directs me to my last post. Cool huh? But you guys…
