Hello everyone So I had my dreaded weigh in this morning and weighed in at 268.4 lbs! I started 2014 at 265. I am 5 ft 4 in and am starting logging on MFP, using a reduced sugar, reduced carb diet. I have PCOS so will try to keep my carbs below 65g each day and sugar to a minimum. I also got Insanity Max 30 over the…

Hey everyone! I'm currently at weight unknown, I have the dreaded day 1 weigh in on Monday after not weighing since last August, I started 2014 at 265, went down to 235 by March and fell off track and never got back on for the entire year. I think I'm around 275 now and hoping to get to a healthy weight so I have at least…

You're weight loss chart is amazing @ShannonMpls! Very motivating to see that steady and consistent weight loss is possible!

Your starting stats are very similar to mine, I just started in January 2014. Congratulations, you look amazing. Very inspiring to me!

Hi totty16! I'm also on week 5 and am experiencing similar results to you...not much down on the scale even though I'm eating right but definitely noticing a difference in the way I look and my clothes feel. I've heard you get some great results once month 2 begins so continue digging deeper and I hope we both see some…

Thanks!

Pardon me for being lame but what's a TDEE?

Amazing job! I started off a bit heavier than you in January and managed to get 10.8lbs off! Hope February is just as amazing!

Thank you all for your suggestions and support. I will definitely up my calories this week and cut off the protein powder (as I'm running out of it anyway) I will hopefully have some positive news to report back soon!

Thank you minipiggle and Francl27! I just finished my day 6 insanity workout, was amazing! I can already do so much more than on my first day and I don't feel burned out at all! Eating a healthy breakfast and dinner are hard for me so that's why I include the protein shake with some fruit, vegetables and yogurt everyday!…

Hi @debbie3876a! Thanks for your input! I've actually just input my correct height of 5 ft 4 inches and it adjusted my daily goal to 1660! I've just found it so confusing to learn the right approach since some people on here say 1200-1300 is too low whereas some swear by it as the appropriate intake for weight loss! In any…

Thanks Mr_Knight! Makes me feel a bit better! :)

Bump

Will try upping my calories next week and see how it goes! Btw, my macros are pretty much on point except fat and carbs are a bit lower than my daily goals. I feel it's going to be tough to get 1700 calories in! I see lots of people on here sticking to around 1200 while trying to lose even though it's under the suggested…

Thank you! Anyone else with any opinions? I really find 12-1300 calories a comfortable place, I don't feel hungry at all during the day and I have lots of energy for my workouts. I plan on increasing my calorie intake gradually also. Just thought this was a good point to start at. Has anyone on here lost and maintained…
