IIFYM is generally more concerned with body recomposition or athletic performance. You can fine tune your macronutrients to your goals. If your goal is simply to see the number on the scale go down, a calorie is just a calorie.

I'm a heckuva lot slower than that! Own it.

You should be eating over your BMR and under your TDEE, anyway. The only time I eat 1200 cals is when I'm sick in bed :/

No, it is not okay. Eat 1200. Eat exercise calories (or a percentage of them at least). That's how MFP is designed. If you cut down to 800 then stop losing weight, are you going to cut down to 600? Then 400? Then 200? Cutting calories that severely is not maintainable or healthy.…

Just so I have this clear in my head, OP. You came here asking for help. People offered you informed opinions and help. People express a concern about your attitude to food and low calorie intake. You tell them "y'all just haters and you're not gonna break my stride". So what did we learn here?

I call shennanigans, this is way too much like sense.

I wouldn't worry too much about that poster. If fitness DVDs didn't work, I wouldn't have lost 70lbs.

"Change ___________ about yourself or I won't marry you." Nope. Nuh uh. Sorry. No way.

Just now, ordered the "Frozen" OST.

Most people store fat around their middle, I've lost 70lbs and I still have fat around my tummy. It will go down. Measure it now and measure it in a month, you'll see the number go down.

Get a HRM and log the calories burned. It's still only an estimation based on your heart-rate, weight and height, but it's better than nothing.

I hated the gym, I've been working out at home for about two years now. I run and use DVDs. I've done various Jillian DVDs, Slim in Six, P90X, bits of Insanity, bits of Rockin' Body, all kinds of stuff. The beachbody programmes are expensive, but you can find them cheaper on craigslist or eBay. P90X is the best programme…

When I was nine years old, I got Michael Jackson's HIStory and The Very Best Of Disney. :X

100 calories of frozen broccoli is around 260gms, I would be sick if I got anywhere near that :|

Yes because they contain carbs and calories.

I wanted to do a different programme. DDP is good but it's not much cardio, so I switched to p90x3.

This thread got even dumpster-fire-ier while I was asleep :|

If you eat fruit at night, you'll die.

+1 Oh and sensitive, funny, kind, whatever.

I've had major body issues, all kinds of crap relating to my weight and self esteem. Using the correct MEDICAL terminology for my weight helped me to face up to the reality of it and get it done. When you are 117 kilos and the doctor tells you you are "Clinically Obese" it can get you moving on sorting your life out pretty…

This is exactly why. Plus per gramme of protein it works out a lot CHEAPER than buying a ****ton of meat that I don't have room for in my freezer. Fish and nuts don't taste like french vanilla. Fish and nuts can't be cooked into a pancake or delicious baked treats. Or at least they shouldn't be. Groce.

That's the newest one.

That's actually sorta terrifying.

That's hot.

Thank eff for that, I re-read that post four times and I thought I'd had a stroke or something.

I used to be an hourglass, I dropped 70lbs, my tits fell off and now I'm coke-bottle shaped. I'm cool with that. Curvy is to do with proportions. You can be fat and NOT curvy too (unless you're counting "spherical" as one round curve), which is particularly noticeable on overweight apple-shaped women. S'all genetics. My…

I *like* them and nutritionally they're great, but they're REALLY good baked. Cut into 4 pieces, roll into cookie shape, bake in oven. They go all soft and cakey and delicious.
