My doctor actually put me on the 900 calories. He measures my LBM and calculated my maintenance and weight loss calories from that. Most of it is supposed to be protein, and I finally did lose 30 lbs, but I am stuck again, and i can't seem to break through the plateau.

I opened my diary. The last few days have been extremely bad. I usually do a lot better

I measure my body fat using a few methods. I used the Katch-McCardle method, a caliper, and a bioelectric impedance scale. The scale is the easiest, but about 6% less than the other methods. I used my doctors expensive scale for the first 5 months of weight loss, and it calculated 6 % higher than my home scale as well. I…

Yes! It is just a matter of commitment to your goal. My biggest problem is being honest with my calories. I am great at guessing portion sizes, but I just don't want to record it. If you can be honest with yourself, the weight will come off. Good Luck!

I am 5'2", and my goal weight is 120, but I am 39. I calculated my bodyfat at the doctors office with his scale, and also using a caliper. I then set my goal using my LBM and the guidlines for a healthy body fat % (21-33% Less if your athletic). I hope it isn't too aggressive for my age, but I will decide as I get closer.…

Alicia, It looks like you lost 2.8, not .6??? You did great!

10/1 - 145.6 10/8 - 142 :tongue: 10/15- 10/22- 10/29- I will take that. I only have 4.4 to go for my monthly goal.

The mirena really messed me up. I lost the following two pregnancies a year after I had it removed. I understand it works great for others, and I am sure it all depends on our individual initial hormone balance. It just wasn't helpful to me. I couldn't lose weight along with other health problems. Birth Control and I don't…

i'm a first timer as well. I am going for 30 miles this month

I understand your situation. I have been stuck for two years, had thyroid tests, and everything. Nothing worked. I finally found a doctor who is helping me lose weight, and it is working. I lost 11 lbs so far with his help. I asked him about exercise and how much I should be doing. He said that exercise is good for helping…

Wow!, I sympathize with your situation. I have five kids, and dinner is often hit and miss when it comes to picky eaters. Here are some tips to cooking in a hurry. 1 - Plan ahead. Several years ago, I made a list of the things my kids would eat and then organized them into a schedule. I found ways to prepare the meals by…
