Yes lol all my tall friends think its better to be short but when it comes to fitting into certain clothes its not. Most (fashionable) clothing stores cater to average height or tall women especially the slender body type. I would have to lose another 50-60lbs before I could wear anything in Forever 21 or Pink that would…

Let's do it!!! HW: 283 CW:199 GW for 12.25: 159

For the most part I am sedentary. Only on most weekends do I burn more because I have a bit more time to workout and walk.

I have had the Fitbit for 3 months and up until June used it consistently. I am just now starting back using it again. I only exercise 2-3x out of the week. Mostly weekends as I work a lot on weekdays. I average maybe 3000 or 4000 steps on days I don't workout or go for a walk after work. So that's why I set it to…

I have MFP set to sedentary because I am not active everyday and I have a desk job. And the 1200 was what I saw on MFP. 500 for elliptical is what I saw on my Fitbit. So I guess the other 700 is what I would burn normally everyday?

Thanks. Yeah I am going to keep pushing regardless even though I feel like I will never reach goal. You keep pushing as well. Again you look great and you look like you don't have much more to go.

Oh ok. That's a bit above average height. That's why you probably don't look it. I wish I could be taller. I look like a oompa loompa at 200 :(

Wow you don't look it at all. How tall are you? And congrats on the weight loss. You look great!

Well from my fitbit account it says I burned 500 from elliptical so I think I will just use that to make adjustments on how much I should eat back.

My current weight is 200 and height is 5'3

Yeah I drink maybe once or twice a year now usually for an event like a friend's birthday party or celebration because I don't care for the taste really and heartburn is a *kitten*. Not to mention the calories because I have to have it mixed. I can't drink it straight anymore :(

Unfortunately I can't drink the hard stuff like I did in college. One too many Everclear bottles and Canadian whisky shot my digestive system to hell. I get really bad acid reflux now if I'm not careful. I drink beer and wine if I want to get really messed up but beer alone usually does the trick now that my tolerance is…

If I was a big beer fan I would probably agree but I don't drink beer for the taste. I drink it to get wasted. :)

I don't plan on having an episode anytime soon but I have to be realistic because **** happens. I'm not saying that I should binge on ice cream when I am sad or hormonal but sometimes it happens. Good thing I am not a real big ice cream person though. My problem is cake and cookies. Now when they make Halo Top cake and…

Lol exactly why I am so glad I caught it on sale for 3.99. I won't be getting either again unless its on sale.

When you are extremely sad or going through a tragic event or just having major pms yes it will be Regular ice cream servings add up when you are hormonal or just sad at least for me it does.

I went to a place called Natural Health and reg cost was 6.99. There are no Whole Foods stores in close enough distance where I am living unfortunately

I am not on the community part that often so I didn't see it. Sorry and thanks!

Yeah I had to put PB2 on mines which helped out alot. I tried Cake Batter and it taste bland and definitely needs toppings to make it taste half decent. I will have to try the others when I have more of a budget. Those ice creams are costly.

Maxwell don't ever wonder (that first note he hit was fire) Anything Aaliyah Mary J Blige Faith Evans Total (kissin you!!!) 112 Nivea Jagged Edge B2K Mya (my love is like whoa) Dru Hill Lauren Hill... Too many to really go on but I could go on for days

For me, I have always been obese. At 10, I was over 200lbs. And by high school 280. No one told me growing up that my weight was unhealthy and I needed to cut back. They said it was just baby fat. When I look back now I laugh because baby fat is 5-10lbs as a teen not 100+. I grew up in the south so eating in my family was…

I have calmed down and think I will continue to use home scale but not weigh myself every day anymore. I just don't want to become obsessive again. I will follow MFP guidelines and in a couple of months base how right it is based on how I look and how my clothes fit versus the scale. And I will definitely make sure to add…

Thanks so much for this! This is really going to help out a lot. And thanks again for all the advice! I really appreciate it!

I definitely have to get a food scale and I am logging everything I eat. Its a lot easier when I can't eat much though lol. But when I can chew again I will try to monitor what I put in my mouth more closely. And what you have said here makes a lot of sense. I guess I will just go off how I am feeling. If I feel famished…

I am not trying to ignore anyone's advice on here and I think what everyone has said is sound nor am I under eating because of binge eating. My wisdom teeth have been pulled recently so that's why the numbers are so low. Trust me when I say I don't like starving myself. Its annoying and aggravating. Although I do struggle…

It says to have a 20% deficit to eat at 1847lbs...I'm confused because MFP says 1200 cals/day to lose 2lb/week.

Ok I set it for 2lbs a week and it now has me at 1200 cals/day. So I was right then?

Thanks!

It could be an individual thing too since everyone's metabolism is different. I have two friends that are around the same weight and one can eat a lot of carbs and cals and not gain weight at all and the other will gain a lot easily if they ate the same amount of carbs and cals. Maybe the calculator is going off the…

I used it to calculate maintenance of 132 which it said 1450. For fat loss at 205 it said 1632, but I am trying to lose 2lbs/week and 1632 is too much according to MFP. And thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely try to get adequate amount of protein in and consume a bit more than 1100 once my wisdom teeth have…
