I have a lot more to lose than 100, but this kind of stuff is so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing! Seeing real life people who have done this makes me know I can do it, too!

The calories set up for you are set up for you by MFP to already lose weight, without exercise. When you eat back the exercise calories, you are giving yourself more energy, to not hurt your body, to repair your muscles. There are a LOT of threads about this, and many great explanations.

Sounds awesome! :smile:

There is a thread talking about this....I saw it yesterday. Maybe you could do a search for it. A lot of people said negative things about it, just because it was on Dr. Oz. I didn't stick with the thread to see if anyone said anything positive. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Looks and sounds good.

That is awesome! I am looking forward to getting to the 2s. I have a few more weeks, hopefully. I can't even imagine Onederland!

Thanks! I have actually lost 10 lbs since I was at the doctor on 1/16, although I didn't start working on it until a few days ago. I will definitely post when I get there, because it will be a big deal for me. I could NEVER post something like that on Facebook, but I feel very comfortable doing so on here. I have seen so…

When I say "here", I meant in the 300s.:laugh:

I had to go get the link, but I finally got to see it. That is great! It gives me hope and gives me an idea on when I will get into the teens. I have not had a 1 in the front of my size since I was in high school, where I wore an 18 my senior year. I started about the same weight as you, and I am really looking forward to…

I can't see the second picture, it is cut off. Do you know why that is?

This is exactly how I feel. I want a steady loss, not trying to lose so quick, because my health is more important, my overall health. And, losing too fast could hurt my health in the long run. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

I also thought at first pregnancy. I see you are a bride to be, so maybe it's possible? I also believe that if you know for certain you aren't, then you should see a doc. I hope you figure it out, soon, though.

I just posted this yesterday on my wall, because I was confused. I do believe the people who say that you should eat them back. I believe in at least trying to eat half of them back. I don't want to do anything to hurt my body in the long run. Yes, I want to lose weight, and yes, I would love to lose a lot very quickly,…

Did you click on maintenance or losing so many pounds per week. If you changed it to lose, then the 1200 is your goal to help you lose the amount of weight per week you chose.

Even though these aren't really 46 calories, I am bumping this, so I can get all the other recipes people are posting, plus the original post, since they are only 190. I wonder about the carbs and all the other stuff, though. That's important info to me. :happy:

SW: 320.2 :embarassed: GW: 125-130 (I'm short) CW: 316.8 I am new to this site, and I am just starting my journey. I began 5 days ago, so I'm still learning what works for me, and what helps. I am looking forward to this, and I am involved in a Biggest Loser challenge with a group of friends, but I don't care if I win, as…

I am a Christian! I am new here, too. I am also just beginning my weight loss journey. I have a LOT of weight to lose, but I'm taking it a day at a time.
