This. Women NEED 1200 calories, no matter what their lifestyle. Add to it for active lifestyle and exercising. Start with the 14-1500 and see how it goes. In the beginning it's trial and error. I found I need to eat to lose. I also found I need to shake it up a little with some low calorie days followed by higher calorie,…

I'm 5'5" too and a couple of years ago I got down to 160..lower than my high school weight! At the time, I lost the weight for health reasons...didn't even work out at all. Then I had my 'last 15' to go and I joined a gym and started focusing on losing those 15 lbs and I blew it. Well, I blew it for several reasons, but I…

Huh?? What does diabetes have to do with this? And she's not saying she's eating LESS than 1200 Calories, just that she's staying within the limit of 1200. Like someone else said, MFP isn't differentiating between the natural sugars and processes. Just try to see where the high sugar items are and figure out if you can cut…

So there's a lot of good advice on this thread, but let's be honest: I'm in the same position you are, just getting back on track, and we didn't get to this point because we have discipline and will power, amiright? So here's how I'm getting thru the holidays: I'm super strict with myself during the week, keeping to my…

Well good for you for taking the time to log for 115 days, but to question why you're not losing weight must be some kind of a joke.

Try plain club soda with some lime. It's just water with bubbles. I can't drink plain water. I hate it. Abhor it. I have a water filter at home and I use the Crystal Light or Dasani flavor drops. It's the only way I can drink it and I get a minimum of 6 cups a day in.

I had successfully done WW in the past (don't like their new program though). One think I DID learn was I needed to eat more. At the time I was not working out but for me, I had to use the extra weekly points they give. I'd stay pretty true to the daily points, but 1 day a week I had to use at least half of them. When I…

Well, you're probably full up by now in your group but if not: My heaviest was 234. I actually got down to 159! But I got scared and freaked out by the attention I was getting. People treat you SOOOOO differently when you're obese and when you're a normal weight. I didn't know how to handle it. I was never thin. So guess…

New here, but old hat at this trying to lose thing. I have to agree. That's a lofty goal to set for yourself. I'd hate for you to be disappointed come Jan 2. Personally I'd dance a jig if I lost 5-8 with the holidays in there. Although I do like your idea of not letting the scale rule your emotions/determination. I weigh…

I swear the fat hides between my ribs and that's what goes away first. I won't notice till I'm down about 25 total. (been here before)

I don't understand all this 'drama' people are talking about. It's YOUR page. Someone causing drama? Delete them. 'Abusive family'? WTF?? Why on earth would you give them access to your FB life? Delete them! You really don't need to accept every friend request. My page has only people I know and either want to keep in…

Try PB2. They dehydrate the peanuts and remove the oil. You reconstitute it with water. It's not as sticky or heavy as peanut butter, and is lighter tasting but you get used to it and it satisfies the craving for about 50 calories. ~Former Peanut Butter Addict
