Ughhhhh!! lol-So jealous!!

LUCKY you!! :)

But...yours were showing before you lost all of your weight correct?

Wow!! U shld be proud! Great job!

I'm only 4'10...currently 197 lbs...my lowest on this journey was 193.5 and trying to get back there and SOON!! My goal weight is 160 and my Ultimate goal weight is 150. I started MFP 9/25/12 at 227.5 lbs! So I have lost like 34 all together.

I started my journey back on 9/25/12 at 1500 cal a day..Was loosing good at first and then stopped...I then went down to 1300 and lost for maybe 2-3 wks and then got stuck and then started going up..I cldn't understand why I was gaining or not loosing if I had dropped my calories lower..?? A lot of my MFP friends kept…

You are one awesome Chic! So glad you are on my page!! :)

I too was eating 1300 calories and upped my calories to 1779 which is TDEE-20% just to give it a try because I started loosing at 1300 then stalled..I have already lost 4 lbs in July since starting to eat more. I have more energy and love it! [quo I'm 47. 4'10". Have had three kids. Perimeno ish. I was eating at 1200 and…

Agreed 100%!!

niiiiice!!! :blushing:

hahahahaha!! I love this!

Thanks. My arms are already kinda big so I was hesitant on starting weights but I don't want to be flabby as I am loosing so I started strength on my arms and I am assuming this means what I am doing is working?

Thanks for all the wonderful info!!

lovinlora78-mostly pics of my weight loss journey with foods, pics of me and o yea a little of my shopping that I do here and there...lol

You should be sooo proud of yourself!! :) Great job!!

I can't say it enough!! BRAVO!!!!:flowerforyou:

I started this as well-eating more that is..Have been on 1300 cal for quite some time and did alot of research this weekend about not eating below my BMR (1617 calories) & working my way up to my TDEE-20% which is 1779 calories..I have been trying this week to get as close as I cld to these #'s and soon will be there! It…

Thanks for all the info!! :)

So how much did you go up from? 1200 to what? And no gain at all?

Great replies!! It seems to be working well for you all...I have been trying to get to atleast my BMR 1622 but that is still hard..Since Sun-I have just been feeling so stuffed and it's like I know I am supp to be eating more to help my body but it seems wrong to feel this full!

Did you gain at first?

Exactly what I am being told by LOTS of friends on my list!! Great info!

Great to hear this!

I just started it on Sun so I am terrified because I am going from 1300-1622/1700 a day but we shall see. I will NEVER eat below my BMR again because I read all the damage it does when you eat below it!

I was at 1300 cal and just started the tdee-20% and eating above my BMR yest..Scared of the gain I may get etc at first but I want to do what is right for my body in the long run..Soooo here I go!! :)

As you can see below I am like you-YIKES but I am going to give it a try!! I am going from 1300-1700 as of yest!

This post in interesting as I have been at 1300 for months and not loosing but abt 1-2 lbs a month..Yesterday I read a lot about eating above your BMR/TDEE-20% etc and as of yesterday my calorie intake is going from 1300-1700. 1622 is my BMR and 1779 is my TDEE-20% so 1700 is right at both #'s. I am terrified as I don't…

Thanks for your reply on my post-Is that better??..Bye Bye now..I want to hear from those who eat atleast at their BMR no less. I eat below it now and it's not helping so I may as well try eating above it-I'd think!

That was not towards you! Sorry Sweetheart! I was trying to put it on another post-In which I thought I did-FEEL FREE to voice whatever you feel. That is what we are on here for. :)
