I stopped eating sweets for like 3 months......the cravings NEVER went away.......I really wish they did!

I put 1 teaspoon of sugar and mix it in 1/2 cup cottage cheese. YUMMY

Great job!!!

I'm no expert, but I ignore the sugar.......and do just fine. I watch calories, carbs and fat mostly.

How low calorie? Turkey wraps to me, are pretty low cal.

I fell off for 3 weeks, but somehow I haven't gained anything! Starting back hard today!

Thank you for your response

I have been taking thyroid meds since I was 16 and I have always had an intolerance to hot and cold. Sometimes I can't get warm and sometimes if I get even a little overheated I feel terribly ill.

I would love to try ZUMBA!!!!

I'd say half......

There is a lot of support here. I have been on MFP a little over 3 months and it has helped tremendously.

That's great!!!! I am at 210 and can't jog at 5 mph for more than 40 seconds!!! And like someone said before me, I hope you DID invite her to MFP!!!! Truly inspiring!

1880 is definitely a good number for a guy...especially an active one.

I sometimes, if calories allow, have just a small bag of prepackaged chips...usually around 160 calories, satisfies the craving but you don't eat too many!

I go day by day but I don't think it would hurt to count calories by the week.

This exactly for me too! Can't help it!!

I started out basically just MAKING myself ride my bike for 10 minutes, after a few days I pushed myself to go a bit longer and then longer......sometimes it's still tough, but It takes like 21 days to make a habit? After while you can't go without doing it. Hang in there!

On MFP you can eat back exercise calories....on those other sites, they probably mean for you to eat that amount and not even count exercise.

I think im going to do this too Eat at maintenance that is...for a few weeks. I've basically been stalled for a month

Such an inspiration great job!!!!

Sometimes I feel awkward, I'm not huge but have at least 50 pounds to go, but I find it funnier when the young girls are there on the elliptical and texting on their phone at the same time.

I too have started gaining...not a bunch, but a couple pounds since I have been strength training.......I am not losing inches though so I also wonder what the heck is going on.

I used to drink NOTHING but diet soda.....now I drink 8-10 glasses of water a day and limit myself to no more than 1 can of soda a day. I don't know if it has helped in my weight loss, but I sure do feel TONS better.

I have seen no loss in that area....only around my shoulders where I have to tighten the straps UGH I'm a 38 DDD

Last year I was at 248 at 31 years old.......YIKES

bump

So my TDEE is 2300 and my BMR is 1740...what should I be eating? I started at 1200 and lost 18 pounds then stalled.....upped it to 1400 and lost about 4 and am stalled again. IDK WHAT I SHOULD BE ATING

yes, I agree, adding cheese and peanut butter to some of your meals would add up calories quickly

Great Job!!!! I hope to have results similar!

I am a DDD............haven't lost it there yet
