  • I'm also 5'7, and when I started in December I was close to 190. MFP has me at 1400 calories.. and I rarely have the chance to work out, so I have my activity level set on "sedentary". I'm down to 165 currently.. going for 145. You may want to start with the 1lb per week option, which will probably put your calories at…

  • I've been eating whole foods for over a year now, and it really does make a difference. I feel so much better, and couldn't be happier that I decided to make the change. It'll probably take about a week or two to ween yourself off of processed foods and sugar. It was pretty hard for me. When I went grocery shopping, first…

  • I believe the sedentary setting is pretty accurate. I'm currently on the road for work, and have absolutely no time or will for exercise beyond moving my hand across the keyboard/mouse/TV remote.. and I've still lost about 1lb/week at 1,400 cal/day.

The main problem people have with high carb diets is that it causes more cravings, inflammation and water retention, so you look and weigh heavier than you actually are. I've varied between no-carb and all-carb diets, and…

  • I'm 5'7, currently 162lb and wearing a size 8 (US). At my thinnest I was about 135, and looked/felt great.. but that was high school. Last year I got up to 180, which literally brought me to tears (and put me in the hospital for gallstones).. I've dropped 20lbs in the past 3 months, trying to get to my goal of 143 by May..…

  • The calorie count sounds about right, especially if you adjust it according to how many calories you burn on exercise. The best advice I can give is to eat more lean protein and fiber, both are pretty low calorie and help you feel full longer. High carb foods (especially sugars) are much less sustaining and cause cravings,…
    in new here & wondering if my calories are off Comment by Rogue9613 January 2012
  • I dream of feeling comfortable, even confident in my own skin.. of wearing clothes and not worrying about what's bulging where, and knowing that I look great no matter what I'm wearing.. I'd especially love to be able to wear dresses/skirts, and just feel cute and feminine rather than looking like I'm trying too hard, or…
