I have 37 lbs to lose- realistically I can lose 57 but I don't want to shoot for that now.

ok then I must be doing something wrong- I calculated my TDEE and if I want to have a loss of 2 lbs per week it was giving me 2063 cals per day- meaning I should be cutting 800 calories out daily. I have been doing this and measuring religiously to a degree that it is annoying for those around me. I have a scale at work…

I don't have much help for you other than to talk to her..... sucks not to have the support of your SO/spouse- for two months I couldn't motivate mine to join but alas he did and it is amazing. there has to be someway to get her a reality check take her shopping- and pick up something that's a smaller size maybe kindly…

[quote I am new to this, I have over 50lb to lose and need motivating, I really want to do this but am scared I'll fail again [/quote] you will fail.... and fail many times!!!! the struggle is getting back up after every fall. it may take a few tries, it may take 50 but you gotta keep going. ONE DAY at a time. If I never…

aww man I knew it!!!!! im destined to be obese! im gonna go have a snickers bar for breakfast instead of my egg whites! yay!!!!!! thanks!

bahhahahaah so it MUST be good for you!

I was so exhausted last night I fell asleep while putting my little one to bed so I woke up still in my clothes- today I will have to go out to buy lunch (which I hate doing) but i plan on having a pollo bowl from El pollo Loco usually though- i have a bed of spinach or spring mix with lots of tomato/onion/cucumber/red…

this actually sounds good.... never thought of putting cinnamon in it

so you are absolutely always at or below goal and you never mess up? wow that's willpower... almost perfection

IM so glad someone posted on this topic... seriously I got my first cycle after 14 months and man it came back full force and worse than I can ever remember... ok that might be a slight exaggeration but still.... and the moment It was here it was like a switchI WANT CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I too feel like since im…

celery and carrots with ONE tablespoon of peanut butter. just gotta measure the peanut butter because its got loads of cals and fat for such small amounts. my other go to is edamame with sea salt I get the prepacked steambags from Costco already portioned out and very very filling plus it keeps you enternained for a while

today we are on the SAME BOAT- I have already failed today but I know that I NEED to take this seriously- I know this doesn't help you at all just wanted to share that I'M with you.

I log religiously.... When I'm taking it seriously and always overestimate portions and underestimate cal burned and even so there are weeks when the scale doesnt budge!!! I have to have a dramatic deficit to see any progress. Yes I strength train and have done Hiit before... Its not always black and white. Everyones body…

1200 calories may be too much for you...it depends on your starting weight! When I was 300 lbs I was able to eat 1900 cals and do 3 workouts and lose....now there is no way I can eat that many I lowered it to 1200 but may need to go even lower

Thank you all, I feel hopeful at least that there might be some way to make it work... I felt like I had tried everything so now theres a few more options.... Her dad and and I had already agreed that we would make it work somehow on the weekends to fit in workouts/active time so im hoping that with some of the ideas and a…

ive tried this with baby.. she didn't react well but I may try it again now that she's older and holding her neck better... the stairs is a good idea with the baby carrier.. I was always worried it would be too harsh movements but i'll give it another shot.... SOMETHING has to work...

Im on my own in the morning- dad leaves at 5:30... I cant make it to they gym and I have considered going at 5AM but we live in a "questionable" neighborhood... :(

I fight to keep her up just to spend time with her (sometimes she does good).. plus it give the sitter some down time in the AM since my little one is a handful she does nap a lot but mostly at the sitters..

Ive been going on 40 mins walks during my lunch hour but its not enough... I need the strength training and intensity... the walking helps get my HR up but I know in the long run it will not get me far

I got back on the fitness wagon on april 1st of last year..5 weeks after my wedding and 12 pounds later I was determined to not let it get any worse and no let myself go.... a few weeks into it I started feeling ill and soon after I found out I was pregnant (we conceived april 12th) we were trying to get pregnant but my…

Made me chuckle... Most Americans don't.... And obvious if were trying to loose weight its because we have a problem with food however miniscule it may be

I did that and it only allowed me 70 additional calories. :( 1200 calories is sooooo little... and it bites like today.. I feel like if I want dinner I have to go earn it by going on a walk/ride or something!!!! it feels so much harder now with a baby!

my PCOS mostly went away after losing most of the weight... just had a healthy baby girl she's almost 4 months now... I feel ya- totally hoping the best for you babywise :)

I only exercise to eat over my calories sometimes- do you know how fast 1200 adds up......

Thank you.... how is this different from BMR???

feel silly but what is TDDE?

if you overdo it the whole "starvation mode" is a total reality... from someone who has been going at this for 5 yrs plus I have been there.. if you don't eat enough your body will hold on to everything even if you are working out and burining 1200 cals- but yes your body is going to do what it needs and there will be…

it could be lots of factors.. time of day? if its a female then its even worse if its that time of the month. clothes? bowel movements... sounds gross my friend weighs herself before and after a bowel movement and sometimes its a 3lb difference find it hard to believe to be possible to loose almost five pounds in a day...
