After investigating this "diet" I must say that as a health care professional this is not a healthy diet plan. It is too low calorie and can cause damage to your body in the long run. I suggest you see your doctor and a nutritionist for a healthy diet plan. There is no way to "jump start " weight loss. Calories in vs.…

Was working earlier just went down recently.

I've been a nightshifter for a long time. The biggest thing I do is count my calories from midnight to midnight then it doesn't matter when I eat as long as I stick to my calories. Days I am back to back I have a rest day for exercise and then get back on track when I have a day (or night) off. Good luck!

Thank you so much for this website. It helped so much in figuring out my calorie burn with Insanity and using MFP and Fitbit. FYI: I would still go with a HRM if you have it, more accurate, but Beachbody does claim that Insanity can burn up to 1000 calories per hour for some people. Again, it depends on age, weight and how…

I am in too. I requested on Biggest Loser.com Need some motivation to get going.

Thank you so much. You are an inspiration.

You look great, thanks for sharing. I have one question though, what kind of food did you eat? Did you do a specific diet plan?

Ya know there were things that I thought were healthy until I found out how many calories were in them. At times 1 meal would be like 1100 calories wow that's my whole day in 1 meal...no wonder America is fat. lol.

It is that simple. There are no short cuts. Eat less move more...weight will come off.

Ok I read all the other posts...I do use BBV shakes. That being said, I compared the ingredients on my powder with my husbands that he bought at GNC. Except for the type of protien used they are about the same. For me it is just easy on a busy day to do 1 or 2 shakes. But in the end...it is still calories in vs. calories…

Again, thank you. Most people disagree with the hunter/gatherer standpoint related to "starvation" mode. I am so glad that there are some people out there that agree with me.

Thank you. Finally, I have someone on my side if this discussion.

Can't really help with the Fitbit, but maybe you are just eating too much. Google a site to measure your RMR, you need to eat below your RMR daily or you will just maintain your weight not lose. I have also found that if I limit carbs most of the day and just have carbs at dinner I tend to lose more weight. Good luck.

You actually burn stored fat if you work out without eating breakfast first (ie.in a fasted state). Starvation mode takes days and very low body fat percentage too achieve. Eat or don't eat it all depends how you feel physically.

Hey, I listen to alot of 80s & 90s music. Kinda like club music with a good beat that keeps me moving.

I just found this thread and am glad there are others out there that are having trouble. I usually use my job as an excuse but not anymore. I eat my meals from midnight to midnight. Some days I only have 2 meals before midnight and am under my calories where as other days I have 4 meals and am over my calories. In the end…

There's nothing wrong with you. It takes time to create a new lifestyle. I joined in January as my resolution and charted off and on for a few weeks. Finally one day it clicked and I found myself wanted to log my food everyday. Some days I plan out my meals in the morning and chart them all at once and other days I chart…

After 3 kids in 2 years...(now 3 years old & 17 month old twins), I have found the best exercise is cardio and for core stengthening planks and leg lifts. It will just take time. Good luck.

You need to find out what is right for your body. You need to have a 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1 lb a week. You can either get that with cutting calories or exercise or both. For me I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day and workout nearly everyday. ( with 3 small kids sometimes that is hard). But I found that when I go…

I started out my life changes with lifting weights. I actually feel better when I lift followed by my cardio. I do weights 4 days a week and try to do cardio 5-7 days a week. If you start with weights at the gym they will usually give you a free day with a trainer so you know how to work the machines. Most every gym does…

You are very encouraging. You started about where I am now and are now where I want to be. However, over the past 2 weeks I can't seem to stay on track. Thanks for posting.

Week #2 not so good, back to where I started, ughhh! Also I am weighing early due to my work schedule ( I work night shifts all weekend) and it just throws off my weight for a good day. Week #1 : 1.9lbs /182.9lbs *100= 1.03% (April 6) Week #2 : +1.8 lbs /182.9 * 100 = +0.9% (April 13th) Ok, not completely back to where I…

Wow, you look great. You are an inspiration. I did the same thing, woke up one day and said I can do this and I have been ever since that day. It has to be a lifestyle change not just a diet. Thanks again for posting.

You all need to remember that MFP is a guide to help you in your journey. If you are really having trouble figuring out how many calories to eat then maybe a nutritionist might be able to help you out. I am a registered nurse and used to think that eating less than 1200 calories would send you into starvation mode but that…

I gotta say I never eat back my exercise calories back. On occassion I will eat over my calories but don't work to eat my exercise calories. Remember you have to have a 3500 calorie weekly deficit to lose 1 lb a week. So keep that in mind if you aren't losing weight.

I know it looks like I didn't weigh in this week, but if you all look back I did a pre-Easter weigh in. I did not want to know what I was after my fall off the wagon this weekend. I will weigh in again next week to get back on track with you all. Week #1 : 1.9lbs /182.9lbs *100= 1.03% (April 6)

Starting weight (April 1st)=182.8 Goal = 7.3 lbs (4%) Current weight = 180.90s Week #1- 1.9/182.8*100= 1.03% (April 6)

Starting weight (April 1st) =182.8 Goal weight loss =7.3 lbs
