i'm down 63 lbs this time around so far. what has worked is Calorie management and Low Carb eating. I put in my nutritional macros fat 70%, protein 25%, and carbs at 5%. i use them as targets to shoot for in my low carb eating. i mostly focus on low carb and calories and the macros are more or less close by eating from the…

all that stuff above about slower metabolism is just bunk. everybody's metabolism slows down when you lose weight. there's less of you so there's less metabolism. if you're body goes into starvation mode, the slowest your metabolism can slow down is about 10% of what it currently is. if it slows down more, it means you're…

i've looked this up on actual medical and science websites that discuss it and the Woosh effect doesn't seem to be real. General chat websites seem to believe this as an effect. in my experience, the body retains a few lbs of water and loses water on a regular basis. one example is to weigh your self before bed and then…

I've received that calories prompt as well. didn't notice how often it comes up, but it does happen.

When you need help to get your shoes on. When you need tools to clean yourself in the bathroom. When you're unable to go to the department store and pick your size in clothes. They don't have it. You have just reached ugly. Get busy living or get busy dying. Time to get a beefed up bike and start using MFP. That's what i…

Everybody's different. Congrats on the 160. I'd like to shake your hand. I hope to be there sometime next year.

I'm going to try this one. I like it.

I just boil it up and eat it like rice.

Try not! Do! Or, do not! There is no try! Yoda...

log the food you eat and see a doctor about the diahrhea if it continues.

i went months feeling almost invisible. No one acted as though they noticed or said something. Then within a week, everyone i knew started asking me what i was doing. MFP has been a lifesaver for me. I have lost 86, but have at least 100 more to go. i haven't been this light in 15 years. keep up the good work and they'll…

i lost most of my weight gorging myself with diet sodas.

You're starting to look amazing. congrats!

Most of you are all a bunch of "losers"!. That's a good thing! weight losers! i'm very happy for you all. Congrats to all the success stories. I hope to reach my goals like you all.

Define Healthy. If you're a vegan, i can't help you. If you're average person that just wants to lose weight, just stay away from processed meats as they have the wrong types of fats. stay away from the poly and mono fats. tuna's and salmon, beef/ pork / foul rotissirie(i know i misspelled that one, as I've had a couple of…

I'm a worthless human being...

Great Job! Take a victory lap! :smile: You are where i want to be in a year. Thanks for letting me know it's possible. Awesome!

keep it fun, or you won't do it for very long.

You can do it!

7 pounds. 3000 cals per lb, that's 21000 you said you ate 2000 / day. Doing nothing burns 1800 per day. to gain 7 lbs, you would have to eat 1800 *7 + 21000. I think you're retaining fluids or haveen't dumped one. You're ok, just keep on keeping on. :)
