Thanks everyone for your comments. I used the scooby and it gave me 1982 per day. I will stick with this for the next 4 weeks at a minimum and see how it goes.

I was eating at 1760 for about 7 weeks. Maybe it is my macros. They have always been set to 40//30/30 but I haven't been bang on with it. I almost always have at least one glass of red wine while cooking dinner each night. Maybe that contributes tout cause I have heard that can happen. I have also heard a 5oz glass is good…

Exactly this! I am almost 44 and this is the advice I would give as well!

Thank you so much for the laugh! Total awesomeness!

I got one about 3 months ago and within 3 weeks had gained 8 pounds and severe rage. I had to wait another 4 weeks to have it removed and it was the worst experience ever for me. I had extreme bloating in my tummy and felt out of control. That all being said, I know that I am hyper sensitive to any kind of birth…

Yet you still have 84 pounds as your goal weight and have stated in other forums that you want to lose more. A BMI of 17.5 is unhealthy whatever you chose to believe. When you are only netting 200 calories on a good day I would suggest that possibly MFP is a trigger for you as well and not the place for you. You also state…

I absolutely do not agree with this. It is just another sales gimmick and someone trying to sell their product. What the heck is wrong with eating healthy food? I find people just don't make the time to cook healthy and become too lazy to create that healthy environment and expect quick fixes.

Genetics!

Holy someone needs to do some research. You are way way out to lunch with your information buddy.

Congratulations! That is fantastic. I upped mine about 5 weeks ago and started lifting three days per week. I have finished two weeks of the Cathe Friedrich STS program and am loving my muscles. This is a fabulous way of life! Keep it up.

Asic gel keyano. I have three pairs of the same ones and rotate through them. lso have orthotics from the doc!

Good Lord.....I whole heartedly agree! Scary!

How long and how far did you bike? I am 5'4", weigh 135 lbs with a solid and muscular frame. I know that I have a good Cardio base and my calorie burn isnt super high anymore as it is really tough for me to keep my hr btwn 155 and 165. For a 20km bike ride on my road bike on the trainer inside (not a lot of hill work) I do…

I have been into eating more for three weeks now and gained 7 pounds. I am still up those seven pounds but I see such a huge difference in my body from lifting that I have come to realize that the number on the scale is not that important. I am beginning to love what I see when I look in the mirror. I love my muscles and…

What is the point if the pounds only go away for a little while? One thing I have learned after all these years is that losing weight fast probably isnt the best way. Your body needs carbs, protein and fats....

I considered a comment I got today from a co-worker a sign of my success. I had to do an on camera interview so put my uniform on for it. I am normally in civilian clothes and haven't had my uniform on for probably two months. A co-worker asked me if I had borrowed someone else's pants for my interview. She said my pants…

When I was eating the recommended 1200 MFP calories I was getting that all the time. Now that I have upped my calories to my TDEE mi us 15 % and never go below my BMR it hasnt happened since. It feels so great to be satisfied and feel great when working out.

Keep at it....you can do this. Just a couple of notes on your diary though...most days your sodium appears to be way over. Try to keep it to 2500 or less....less is better. As well, switch to a healthier nut for protein than peanuts...almonds or cashews (unsalted) Sandwich meats (coldcuts) contain nitrates...really high in…

I had two regular births and my last was an emergency c section. I have come to the conclusion that genetics plays a huge role in how quickly our bodies recover and what state we are able to get them to physically. I lost all my pregnancy weight plus more with each baby and am at my fittest in my forties than when I had my…

You look incredible! Congratulations! I love this post!

BMR IS NOT your maintenance calories! It stands for basil metabolic rate and is the amount of calories that your body would require if it was in a coma! Nobody should ever eat below this because quite frankly if you are in a coma then I suspect you aren't trying to lose weight on MFP....yes you are going to lose weight but…

Well funny that after using it for an eight month period....and numerous friends that did the same, all of us wanted to vomit at the site of the ionix supreme, the nasty tasting protein bars and being told that we were supposed to drink the crap all day and not eat normal food while fasting once per week.....ya I guess you…

You are beautiful inside and out Stacie! Congratulations my friend!

This!

I use agave on my oatmeal. I refuse to give up sugar in my coffee though.

Ya I thought that was a totally bizarre thing to say. How can half your workout just "poof" disappear. Ummmm research!

I hate to say this but no.....you totally do not get what BMR is if this is your explanation.

Exactly this!!!!! Since I started doing the same I have noticed about .5 per week loss. The problem is, is people are too Impatient to do it slowly and correctly!

One other note....if I need to add calories in a given day I still drink an isagenix shake once in a while because I still have three containers left. Won't be buying anymore though.

A big huge no!!!!! I did it for months and as soon as you go back to eat normal food the weight comes back on! I don't care what anyone says from here on in.....eating regular food in the proper amounts and getting good protein, carbs and fats is the way we are meant to feed our bodies. Drinking two shakes a day and adding…
