So what about this event is so imperative that you lose 15lbs in two weeks? Sorry to be Debbie downer, but you're probably not going to lose 15lbs in 2 weeks (you shouldve started sooner) and you're probably not going to get much (if any) support, as this mode of weight loss is extremely unhealthy.
-
Gotcha, thanks :)
-
Can I ask you to explain further? You seem to be very knowledgeable about weight loss and maintenance and I would like to hear what you have to say :)
-
This is true
-
Also, do you have a fitbit or a HRM with a chest strap? These will give you a more accurate reading of how many calories your actually burning.
-
Best of luck to you!! ❤
-
Ahhh I see :) thank you for clarifying :)
-
Really?? OP, you are probably underestimating how many calories you are taking in, since 'eyeballing ' our food is what got most of us to where we are right now...overweight or obese. Weigh and log everything, THAT is what will get you out of your plateau ...not a fad detox
-
I've had to do this too. You'll need to go on to the actual web page and delete old entries (assuming you've had an account in the past and now are at a higher weight)
-
Ahhh..gotcha :)
-
Op, you will not gain muscle while eating at a deficit. I do agree to take measurements , as you could be losing inches and sometimes water weight can mask that
-
Its fine to eat sweets as long as it fits into your calorie allowance, does not matter what time you eat them :)
-
Its most likely water weight What seems to work for the majority of people is to only weigh yourself once a week. Most people freak at the slightest weight fluctuations, myself included.. Hence, weighing yourself once a week :)

When I was a newbie here, I remember asking a question about weight loss and the dreaded "why I am I not losing faster??" Question (I had lost 7lbs in about 6 weeks..which,looking back, is GREAT) . I remember them asking me to open up my diary and give stats...I gave my stats but never opened my diary. But I just remember…

Cosigned.

I have not personally used them, but I would generally say save your money. "Carb blockers" "Fat Fighters" etc... are all gimmicks and don't work, they only make your wallet lighter
-
Do you weigh yourself every day? Could be water weight
-
If you only have 25lbs to lose, I would generally say 0.5-1lb per week.
-
^^^THIS
-
Also this ^^^ great advice
-
You could also eat/drink at maintence for that night as well :smile:
-
Unless you are already eating at 1200 calories, in which case you do not need to eat less. Op, how many calories are you taking in now?
-
Sorry, never tried this particular diet but any 'diet' that cuts out the foods that I like, doesn't sound like one I would like to participate in. Why cut out certain foods? Just eat the foods you already like while eating in a deficit and you'll be golden.
-
Congrats on your pants fitting better! Some people lose a lot of water weight in the beginning, and for some it takes a few weeks and then they get a big wooosh of weight loss. Keep going!
-
I would take a gander at the 'Must Reads' at the top of this forum, they are very very helpful :)
-
One more thing: you want to maximize fat loss and minimize lean muscle loss and you do that by avoiding too big of a deficit, that is why many people on here advocate for eating back your exercise calories. I would recommend getting either a fitbit or a HRM to get a more accurate estimate on how many calories you are…
-
Great job! Keep it up!
-
The way that mfp is set up, it expects that you're not going to exercise, so the exercise calories you burn just gives you more "earned calories" to eat every day . So, the sedentary, lightly active etc has nothing to do with purposeful exercise. Most people on here will tell you to eat back 50-75% of your exercise…
-
I always do not first thing in the morning, before I eart or drink anything and after I use the bathroom..oh, and I always weigh myself naked

You can eat whatever you normally like to eat. What do you normally like to eat?
