You look amazing!

Hi, CW: 169lbs GW: 130lbs Hight :5'2 Using TDEE-20%

Bump - I want to know the answer for this one too :smile:

Are you using MFP or TDEE . How many calories are you eating? And if you open your diary we can help you much better :smile:

How much do workout and what exercise do you do? Maybe you are losing inches and not lbs. I am 5'2 and I am really slow in losing weight, but I am losing inches. And that will look nicer in the end. :smile: I would not go lower than your BMR if you do more that 3 exercise a week. And the last lbs/kg is the hardes they say.…

Hi, you can add me. I am on there everyday. I also have 20lbs to lose. I am not into these very low calorie intake though. I like friends that aren't scared to eat :drinker:

Read this and start eat :heart: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912920-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013

If you use TDEE you should NOT eat back your excersised calories ! And 2260 -20% = 1808 calories. (If you been eating the excersised calories you have been maintaining your weight :noway: Eat 1750 for 6 weeks, Use a measuring tape and not the scale for these 6 weeks. And do some weight lifting during the week..

I don't understand why MFP put you on 1700 cal, they always give people such a low numer. And THIS is Harris Benedict http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912920-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013

Well a male should not go under 1800 calories and a femail 1200 calories a day.. But it's so many ways to get fat so it must be as many ways to lose it to.

Well I am 5'2 and 172lbs. My BMR is 1516 and TDEE 2085. So if I don't want to lose I eat 2085. If I want to lose I eat 2085-20% or -500. But as lon as it's not under my BMR 1516. I Have bad knees so I only do weights and walking, I have put me at light activ. Read this and maybe this will give you some better info…

How tall are you? No you don't eat calories from excersise with TDEE. I would look at sodium intake too You will figur things out, it just takes some time for some. I am still don't get some of the stuff :blushing:

Read this, 2000 sounds to much for some one that is 5'1". I am 5'2 and eat 1600 cal. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912920-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013

If you are doing the exercise you say you are doing thats is great. Keep up with that. When I look at your diary, your sodium is to high. You have to cut down with the sodium. And you have to give it some time. I am a little frustrated my self right now becasue the scale is not moving. But I also know that the scale is not…

I love this bread recipe http://southamericanfood.about.com/od/healthyeating/r/quinoabread.htm

They do have a gym on the ship. And just drink alot of water because I know that they put alot of salt in the food. Have been working on cruise ships for 4 years and the biggest problem moste guests have is that they want bigger plates so they don't need to get up again to get more :noway: But they do...

:heart:

Bump for later..

you look great! I want to do this too now. have to find time for it !

Well looking at your food diary, you have 1000 remaining calories one day, 800 another, 400. This is not good. You are not eating some days at all during the day. (Maybe you did not log) but if you do have a sweet tooth then you have to eat at least 5-6 times a day. With this you will binge after a week of bening “good”. I…

According to http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/, with your age: 37. High: 64 inches. CW: 140. GW: 125. You should eat: Sedentary (little or no exercise, desk job) 1591 calories Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk.) 1823 calories Moderately Active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk) 2055 calories And…

Typing this up, reading it back, I know this needs to change! Thanks again xxx [/quote] You got it :drinker:

Well said :drinker:

How much are you looking to lose? And I don't see any water log or veggies.. You say that you are trying to stick to 1200 cal. Is it hard? if it is then maybe you should go up 400-500 cal with that kind of exercise and not eat back exercised calories.

Sorry, You will find so many diffrent answers here, but try this page http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ If you aren't looking to lose a lot of weight then MFP maybe is the right way. But I have over 40 lbs to go and felt that I never could have a treat. but with a higher calorie and exercise 3-4 times a week (cardio…

2 kg is 4.4 lbs, (2 X 2.2= 4.4 lbs) so I think it's a great weight loss! Do the measurements and you probably will see it in a diffrent way If you maybe try TDEE-20% you will see some other change but if you feel that what you are doing is making you feel good, why stop!

If you open your food diary we can help you from that end. But few things: Water Sodium exersice stay away from prossesed food eat veggies The hard one.. Give it some time, a few weeks at least ( If I could ge this one I would be happy ):drinker:

I am in the same situation. I have for 2 weeks done TDEE-20% and cant say that I have seen or felt any change. I know it can take some time but my mind is doubting me :(
