A glass of milk/almond milk Almonds are high calorie Peanut Butter A serving of chicken

I'm down 18 but I have about 90 left to go. Feel free to add me

I'm aiming for 100 too :)

Love my blaze. It's really helpful in keeping me on track with my steps, as well as it keeps me pushing through my workouts to see if I can burn a bit more calories than the day before

I have to really keep an eye on my sodium intake. I can't go within 400 of my daily limit otherwise I'll "gain".

Don't mean to be rude, but if you're having trouble eating 1200 calories then you wouldn't be on here in the first place. You're not having a problem with eating, you're stressing over your food way too much. I did the same thing when I started. It doesn't take much to add calories. On top of what you're eating already…

:)

I don't understand why women are so worried about this stuff. I just had a conversation about this with my friend who just got a tummy tuck and boob job. And now she hates that her thighs touch, she hats the little tiny "fat roll" in front of her arms when wearing a tank top, the tiny little roll on her back when she bends…

You're eating 1200 cals a day? Up your calories by 150-300 and you'll start losing again.

If I'm over my sodium, or even 200 under, the scale goes up. It's not "weight" tho so don't worry about it. Also, if you've only been eating 1100-1200, I'd bump that back up. If I eat under 1250, I won't lose. I try to stay closer to 1400.

How's your sodium intake? Have you started any type of new exercise? How many calories are you consuming?

I'm a single mom and I work full time, also I have no desire to go to the gym for 2 hours. I lost all my weigh from mfp and working out at home. I bought a cheap, used elliptical. Also I bought the Jillian michaels DVDs. They are great! I did 30 day shred to start, but I did it twice. The first time I did the modified…

How many calories are you eating? I eat around 1250-1300 normally. But when I plateau I increase my cals by 100-200 and I start losing again within a couple days... Doesn't hurt to try.

Lots of people have good success without doing the bmr, tdee thing. I've lost 87 pounds in 16 months and I eat 1250-1400 calories a day. I'm healthy, my fitness level is great, and I got the ok from 3 doctors before I did this. They basically said everyone is different and if what I'm doing is working and I feel good, then…

I'm 5'8 and started at 248. I'm 159 now :) mfp is amazing!! Stick to it and you'll do great!

Make sure you take measurements. Sometimes you'll loose inches but the scale won't move. Up your calories by 100-200, that's what I do and it works for me :)

I don't eat back my exercise calories. I don't see the point in burning them off, then eating them back again. That being said, I only burn around 200-300 cals in a day. Lots of people do eat them back and have had success though, this is just my way and it's worked for me :)

I started with 30 day shred. You can check it out on amazon.com. It's an amazing workout! ... Sorry after doing her workouts, I'm a huge Jillian michaels fan lol.

Walking will help lots! I've heard couch to 5k is really good. I bought a chea elliptical for my apartment, as well as I bought some Jillian michaels DVDs. 30 day shred, ripped in 30, 6 week 6 pack are my favorites. I don't go to the gym because I'm a single mom, work full time, I don't have time. But these are really easy…

I log my routine under calisthenics and then I enter my time.

Drink lots of water. Lotion up. You'll probably be fine though. Just take your time in losing it. I lost 86 pounds in a little over a year and the only loose skin I have is on my stomach from being pregnant and staying overweight for 4 years. But also, I'll take my loose tummy at 160 pounds than my old 248 pound body,…

I agree, your bone structure is what makes you curvy. I was 248 pounds when I started and now I'm 160. I lost my boobs and my butt but I still have wide hips. My boobs are gone for good, and it sucks lol. But now I'm "trying" to build up my butt a bit. If you're only losing 20 pounds, your figure probably wot change too…

30 day shred gives really good results! I lost a lot! Of inches and toned right up! I'd stick with that for sure :) lots of cardio in that video too. Of course, if you want even better results, continuing your run would probably help. Maybe just cut in half?

You'll get a lot of personal opinions on this. Personally, I don't eat back my exercise calories. Seems pointless to me to sweat out those calories and then just eat it all back?? I mean if you're only eating 1600 calories a day and burning 1000, maybe you should eat some back. I eat 1300-1400 and only burn around 200-300…

I tried to run lots, but it felt like it took forever to get my endurance up! And my shins killed me. It wasn't enjoyable for me at all. So I did Jillian michaels 30 day shred instead. That got my cardio up soo much! Now I love to run! I almost felt too heavy before, and couldn't run for more than 2 minutes at a time. But…

I used to go out a couple times a month and have drinks. But I stopped. The calories aren't worth it to me. But I don't need to try to say no anymore, I just have no desire to waste my calories in that way.

I usually have an oatmeal bar or a couple cups of coffee first. Just to have something in my stomach. I get up at 4:30 to do my workouts.

You can count breast feeding as exercise. Just to be safe (keep your milk production) I'd log it then eat back those calories. You'll still lose weight :)

It's very possible! Back when I was 250 pounds, some weeks I'd lose a pound a day! It never ever came back. Even now, I'll be stuck at a certain weight for a week or two then drop 3-4 pounds within a coule days.
