Lol. It's eating whole foods. No suffering :) yet.

Kksgal1 you should friend me!! :)) I'm not suspecting any allergies. I'm just addicted to sugar lately... Like indulging in Halloween candy and wanting it after every meal. I'm going to try and change that!!

Wow thanks guys!!

Thank you so much for the input!! I feel like I am in that situation like you mentioned where I'm fit but the scale isn't budging. I just climbed 2 miles and 700 foot elevation today with my 35lb son on my back and yesterday did the same. I eat 1200 calories and I know I should probably need more for that type of fitness…

Such as a trainer who maps out meals

Thank you!!!

Thank you!! I am 5'2" and yes I'm within normal weight but it is not the weight I prefer. I know I feel more comfortable around 112. Yes, I do want to be leaner and even 20 days has already helped but I still want to lose a little more! There's got to be others in the same boat as me! I will try the apps you listed

Thank you! I do not own a food scale but I will definitely invest! And I do some workout classes which work the whole body and some weights (not super heavy) as well, which I am hoping keep up the muscle tone. I have no desire to look tiny with no muscle. :) but tiny with some muscle and feeling fit and healthy is best!

I didn't realize 15lb was so rare?! Ha

Awesome!! Let's do it!!

Perfect! No existing toxins in my tissues! Lol. Either way, I love massages...

Lol I just wasn't sure... If our tissues held toxins that we intake and released or something who knows?! I'm not a doctor or physiatrist that's for sure so had to ask

That's what I'm wondering.... I've been told the 'toxins' come out when you get a deep massage. I'm wondering what that really means? Is it true??

I guess it's just hard putting in a ton of work and waiting lol. I suppose I don't have any expectations other than to improve, and be fit :) and wow seska422 that is awesome!! Way to go!

18 weeks seems like such a long time lol!

I wasn't aware of that tool!! Thank you!

Yeah I always guess with oz and whatnot, I really don't know!

Thank you! I do actually do some strength and weights so I've noticed my body changing. The loss has slowed down but my hunger has gone up, so I suppose I should just not be afraid to eat, and keep at it.. And hope the weight continues to come off over time along with toning. This is a new lifestyle for me! =)

Oh you guys helped a ton! Thank you!

Oops. I meant *food scale**

So it doesn't matter what food it is necessarily? Just as long as my calories stay where they need to be? This is all science lol. I think I need a good scale too!

Thank you. I will definitely look at eating back the calories. I'm so nervous to gain weight that I just haven't tried it. Because I'm sedentary all day :neutral: I really want to get to that first goal in 6 weeks or less! That's less than 2lb per week. :)

I'm set at 1200 calories. I'm 5'2" and 127 currently. First goal is 118 then hopefully 110 ultimately because I know that's a good weight for me although it's not all about that scale. I workout about 4 times a week and varies. Usually at least 3 gym sessions like today will be an hour step/cardio class and the others are…

I am having a hard time eating without feeling hungry about 30 minutes later, and this hasn't happened until recently! I'm wondering if I need to up my calories...

Thank you. That is really good information.

Hmmm.. MFP set me at 1200 calories to eat a day. Im wondering why others say this is too little. Should I increase calories and exercise more?

Anyone? :/

I love eating healthy. I can continue to do this the right way. Just wanted more info on these things as I have heard great things about it spiritually from so 'health nut' people. But what I suppose Im getting is that it's not a good idea! lol. That's what I was wanting to know. Appreciate all the responses. :smile:

Thanks girl! This is what I was looking for! and to clarify, I was talking about intermittent fasting, not days at a time :) I will try just fruits and veggies and water, tea. This seems like it could work for a cleanliness! Thanks again for this info!

I'm not looking for a 'quick fix..' I am looking for something to make me feel clean and healthy and almost like 'empty' but I was looking for tips on doing this safely and advice. If there's people out there with experience let me know.. Thanks! :)
