Dont forget to account for any hairballs in the vomit. If you subtract those also you will put your cat into starvation mode immediately and he will just gain more weight!

Welcome and glad to see you here. I think this site is great and if you use it well can be a huge help. I still have about 70 pounds to go so I am in for the long haul! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like :smile:

Dont stop the work with weights. Building muscle will actually help you burn fat more effectively. Sounds like you are doing just great...hang in there!

Everyone looks so great! My latest is my profile pic...1 year later and 98 pounds down :smile:

My advice? Your calories dont really look that bad...you are pretty far over in fat most days though. I would calculate out your BMR and TDEE. Eat at a 15% deficit from there and do not eat back your exercise calories. They will already be factored in. Try http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

very cool..it works..thanks :)

For me it isnt a diet. It is a new relationship with food. I am learning to enjoy healthier choices, and developing a more normal eating pattern. Food is no longer a reward or something to be used for comfort. I simply eat at a deficit, make sure I am getting a good amount of protein (at least around 100 gms a day if I…

I still have 70 more to go...this site really does help me stay motivated and focused!

It isnt impossible at all. I am going to do my first 5K on Monday. If you had told me that a year ago I would have thought you were insane! Using the tools available to you on this site can really help you to stay focused and motivated. Best of luck to you!

And you CAN do it! Don't look at 100 pounds...thats just scary. Take it 10 pounds at a time. I have found this site to be so beneficial to keeping me on track. Best of luck to you! Feel free to add me if you like. I still have 70 pounds to go so I am in for the long haul!

I just changed my categories to blocks of time instead of meal names. Sometimes it looks like I eat around the clock...because sometimes I do! I work 12 hour night shifts.

Very true...we all have our reasons for being overweight. Half of the work is mental, the other half physical. One can not be successful without the other. Feel free to add me if you like :smile:

you go girl! You look amazing!

wow...that motivated me to get up off my *kitten* this morning...thanks! I have no other words!

Wow....just shy of a two month old horse! Yayyy me!

I started using it a few weeks ago. I was eating a very low calorie diet for a long time. Worked initially, but I hit a wall and was actually gaining on less than 1200 cal/day. I started increasing my calories (still not exactly where I should be...but getting there) and after a scary initial gain of around 6 pounds it has…

MMM I am addicted to Click mocha protein shakes!

Sounds like you have a great attitude! Best of luck to you. Feel free to add me if you like :smile:

In my opinion, 1500 is way too low for you. Especially working out as much as you do. I was eating a very low calorie diet for a long time and it worked in the beginning, but then I hit a wall and was actually gaining on less than 1200 cal/day. After biting the bullet and increasing my calories, I did gain 6 pounds very…

^^^This. I make sure I get at least 100-110 gms of protein a day and watch my calories.

I peel it, peel the membrane off too. Yummy!

LMAO!!! :laugh: :drinker:

I am *so* on board with this!! Plus..think of all the extra protein if you eat enough of them..I think you are on to something!!

pfft...it will never work.... :tongue:

Eat. More protein will keep you feeling full longer

I cook..if he doesnt eat it he fends for himself. I will ask him what he wants at the grocery store and buy it when I go...if he wants something that doesnt fit in with the healthy I am making, he makes his own. No problem :smile:
