this is exactly what my doctor said to my at 23, scheduled for a hysterectomy and all.. or he said you could lose weight I now how a beautiful baby girl and it was worth every single pound I had to lose to get to where I am... 5 years later and im still not at goal but hey I will get there one day

I have been loosing about 4 lbs a week WITHOUT the phentermine (not usually bur for two weeks) and I have been diagnosed with PCOS- hospitalized due to bleeding out from menstrual cycles (almost died from it) , been on every type of birth control out there and the only thing that helped was weight loss gained and lost…

no im not suggesting her to do that... I have an appointment with the specialist.. I was exactly where she was and didn't see results until I cut calories even further... this is NOT what she wanted to hear. I merely was stating that I understand where she is coming from. I cant keep this up myself its been 2-3 weeks of…

nevermind :ohwell:

Hot Cheetos and DARK CHOCOLATE covered strawberries. but more the dark chocolate strawberriessssss yum

maybe it hadn't synced completely when you went to bed.... it tells you when you last synced and typically I try to sync before bed and then when I get up....its not always automatic

I forgot about this whole post and just now am seeing this... I didn't know that the fitbit had that built in..but I guess you are right.. I am just trying to make sense of all this and not give up.... thank you that is a very good point. I find it a little hard to rely on the fitbit... also I didn't know I had to add in…

I have a fitbit flex... its linked but doesn't sync all day long until I get home at night so I usually don't eat those cals back Ive found with the fitbit that it actually underestimates... if I do spin class/swim/ or walk the baby briskly in a stroller the flex knows no difference so I don't even know how I feel about it

yah I think I may need to readjust and re evaluate my goals.. after all the comments I am feeling more comfortable at adding in closer to 1350.... and like someone else said... it took long to gain the weight and its way more work to take it off.

well I will one day eventually get to maintenance and will not be only consuming 1200 or less calories... so though I agree I may need to slow down, I am aware that the moment I am not careful and go back to old habits the weight doesn't creep up it just shows up fast..... so yes im trying to find better ways to eat and of…

i read those links and have since then... about June started trying to measure in grams... from what i read on those links if I am selecting something and it has several confirmations it was green light to use....i use pam to fry my egg which is why its 92 cals since a large egg is 78 alone i tend to pick the highest…

yep... thanks for the guidance... and yes I have been a little more grouchy lately.. ok much more grouchy I don't feel hungry as much as im just used to eating whatever I want .. while I was BF it seemed like NOTHING would make me gain weight so it was hard to go from that too 1200 cals hopefully this will all click and I…

to lose 2 lbs a week??

done

im currently eating that 1200 per day and I don't feel horrible... but im also not loosing close to 2 lbs per week prob about .08 lb per week if im extremely strict then I can make the whole pound. all of this stuff confuses me some say its simple - CALORIES IN vs CALORIES OUT but Im obviously missing something. I…

yah I do only get to work out on weekends if my schedule allows and I said sedentary because I sit all day in an office job- trust me I hate sitting but its what I do now

oh yah im 29

im in the obese category 5'3 195 lbs super sedentary life BMR= 1600 so I CANT lose 2lbs per week?

oh crap... you are right I didn't subtract the 15-20% I just multiplied my TDEE by 7 for a weekly average and subtracted 7k calories and figured Id divide the leftovers over 7 days ay- I knew my brain wasn't working today. I can only workout on weekends and that now always so on those days I tend to eat up as close to my…

you are at maintenance my friend- totally different ball park and yes you are right a few hundred cals wont kill you especially if you have some left over but it is soooo sooo easy to over do it. glad it worked for you.

also if you notice those encouraging you NOT change is because they're in the same boat and openly admit that they slack off.. that wont get you far in this weight loss journey and you'll end up giving up due to no progress.

OMG this helped me tremendously im going on 6 weeks and the first couple weeks sucked because I would do so well on the weekdays and then come Friday I felt like I had any excuse to eat whatever I wanted... then I started noticing a trend how I would practically gain all the weight id lost during the week... it helps to…

OMG- I feel horrible Im 5'4 and my goal is 160 eeeekkk and even that was aiming high for me!

seriously... is this your go to post! I noticed that was your answer for when I was seeking support- yes its simple right but obviously we are missing something so we asking for more support. anyway! I have thought about transitioning into a RAW or PLANT based diet solely for the purpose of losing weight as well.. I can…

lol ive been at this 5 years!!!! started at 358 lbs and still not at goal-(got married, had a baby in between) when I have friends that can eat a whole meal and here I am portioning out a half cup of this or that and measuring 4 oz of protein... and then the moment I even look at a cupcake ive gained 3 lbs yes it is…

I still don't know how I feel about this.. do you know how exhausting it is to constantly think about food and portions and continue to measure everything?!!? I want to say im trying NOT to believe in cheat days and have the stuff I want worked into my calorie budget but at the same time I know the day I hit Goal and…

yah... I started reading and going trough all those links --- little by little.. I guess since I only have 37 lbs to lose then 2lbs a week is throwing it off. I will make sense of all this- SOON I hope!

Ive read these already but I will re-visit again

yah im convinced im doing something wrong then- if I ate 1600 calories Id prob gain!
