I weigh weekly and I log it. I try not to beat myself up about it if there is a slight gain. I can see what the trend is doing and judge it from that. As long as the trend is that it is going down, I'm happy.

I'm only 5'5 but even my numbers are as follows: BMR: 1735 TDEE: 2689 15% Cut: 2286 20% Cut: 2151 That's a few hundred more a day than MFP allows me.

I'm only 5'4.6" pretty short for a guy. My goal is to aim for 140 and then reassess it when I get there. HW: 225lb CW: 211.8lb GW: 140lb LW: (End of High School): 98lb (lower end of healthy BMI for my height but would never aim to be that size again, was very sporty at the time and ate like crazy only put on weight during…

I guess another reason I eat breakfast is because I usually am really hungry by then. I don't tend to eat after 8pm the evening before. I then don't eat my breakfast until between 8-10am which is 12-14hrs between meals overnight. No wonder I'm so hungry come morning.

I have to eat breakfast as I take medications that the doctors recommend I take with food. If I don't have breakfast and I wait too long I get shaky, headache, nausea and so on. I get these symptoms if I don't eat every few hours. It works for me but we are all different and what works for me might not work for others. I…

I had one done a couple of years ago but it was for bone density purposes only as people with my disability are more prone to osteoperosis. Luckily for now mine was pretty good at +1.8. Didn't know they could be used for body fat.

I feel a lot better if I have a 1-1.5hr nap in the afternoon, I don't always do it but I find I'm a lot less cranky if I do.

waffles pineapple or melon

Good morning. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Most people think White British, Dutch or German. When I was younger and had lighter hair I occasionally got the odd swedish comment. I'm actually English, Black Mauritian and Dutch so not that far off really for the most part, I'm the lightest person in my family the majority have dark skin.

First: Michael Jackson early 90s Most recent: Evanescence 2004 Been a long time! Need to get to more gigs but they are just so expensive :-/

I'm 19lbs down so far with 66lbs to go to get into the upper range of healthy BMI. Ideally I'd like to be a little lower than that maybe a few lbs.

Week 3 - +3lbs went significantly over my calories a few times this week. Just a blip though.

Week 2 and another 2lbs down! Will post measurements after week 4.

Week 1 - Been eating at 2300ish each day instead of the 1600 MFP had me on. Hardly ever hungry anymore, and am down 2lbs!! Happy with that. See what week 2 brings :-)

I worked at Caffe Nero for a few months. Am rather uncoordinated and clumsy so I was rather rubbish at it. Still had fun though and lots of free coffee!! :D

Many many foods! Usually with a high fat/high sugar content. When I buy a pack of anything I usually end up eating the whole pack.

Hi there, My name is Jack and I'm 28 and currently residing in Bristol, UK. I'm a psychology student, married and owner of two crazy cats called Bilbo and Pippin. I've been trying to lose weight on and off for 7 years. I have surgeries that I are waiting to be done but they won't do them on anyone with a BMI over 30. So my…

I put in my numbers on the scooby site and came up with the following numbers: BMR - 2027 TDEE - 3141 15% Cut - 2670 MFP says that I should have 2030 a day which barely scrapes above my BMR. On that low a calorie count I have been feeling very hungry come bed time. I know I could improve what I use my calories on but still…

Hey folks, I'm new here and just posting some starting stats after struggling with low calories for a long time and falling on and off the wagon for 7 years figured had to change something! Starting Weight - 215.6lbs Height - 5'4" Neck - 15" Waist - 43" Bicep - 14.5" Forearm - 11.5" Chest - 40" Hips - 44" Thigh - 23.5"…

My gastro dr told me to go on a high protein low carb diet, there are periods of time when I can't really eat much because of exacerbation of stomach problems. Wanted me to go on the FODMAP diet but it seemed like a lot of hassle. I get the awful headaches and nausea on low carb days so will have to clear my schedule so…

Highest was 225lb around 2008. Been bouncing around been 180-200 for the last few years now. Goal is 160 see where I go from there. I'm only 5'4" with a small bone structure so even that might be too heavy.

Hey there welcome to MFP :) I'm also from the UK feel free to add if you like :D

#1 I want to feel better. My disability will always be there but I'm sure I can feel better than I currently do. #2 Be in better shape. I've let myself decline so much, some of it was inevitable but some I could have prevented. #3 Eating better will hopefully give me more energy, I want to not be so fatigued all the time.…

1) Emotional/Binge eating 2) Marrying someone who also had those same problems 3) Disability getting worse over time and becoming a wheelchair user 4) Lack of exercise due to 3 5) Rather bad depression because of 3 6) Increased appetite when going on to testosterone injections 7) Stopping doing the sports I loved because…

I pretty much am doing it for myself and also it is a requirement for a surgery so if I want the surgery then I have to get the weight down.
