I would go for the head amputation I heard the average head weighs 10 Lbs:laugh:

I would go back to basics and re-assess your BMR and TDEE - eat 515 less a day than your TDEE and you will lose a pound a week.... 1030 = 2 pounds (hard to do for long) Take your target weight as the entry to the TDEE calc - eat like you would if you are already that size or enter your current weight and keep adusting you…

Can I ask what is the point of monitoring your daily activities surely they are mostly the same before you started MFP? they should be not real differnce I think measuring extra excercise is important but why the rest of your day. Confused here Unless you do it once to work out TDEE

You look amazing - and so happy - well done

I have a bad knee too These are the things I can do Swim Row - Concept 2 I do 30 minutes most days Weight training (go easy on the quad curls) but I squat heavy Tread mill walk with a high elevation 10-12 - one with a bouncy track

Yep - I have one at home it is the best zero impact all body work out you can get. Three things to keep in mind 1. keep the damper at 3 is there is a drag test to tell if you are in the right zone - this is not a intensity measure it just mimic a heavy boat. 2. It is about the effort you put in the harder you row the more…

I feel bad for you guys to have such scumbags to deal with.

When you have quite a lot to lose like me it takes time, so you have to pick a calorie intake that lets you have some variety and room to fall off the wagon on occassion. The abililty to sustain your new way of life is more important than how fast you lose the weight - I know you want fast results but actually slow and…

I now weigh what my Driving License says - I have lied for years LOL Soon it will be lie the other way

I think your TDEE may be wrong so you are not deficit. Sorry - There is no other reason Calories In - Calories Out 3,500 deficit per pound you want to lose

great job! - you look so happy and fit

This^^^ a 1/4 cup greek yogurt in my shake - yummy good

Amazing! - It makes you feel sooo gooood!

My hubby is 6' 7" and 185 - he look great slim hipped (32') wide shoulders but he is slim for his height. People come in different 'types' so it may be OK

^^^^ You are so right she is starving herself poor thing...

Wow you are hot!! great job

You look fantastic! what a great color on you, it must be nice to be out of black LOL

Good job - I heard it is very hard when you have a little to lose! Would I be that lucky OL

Well done girl!, but what is the gun for? gonna shoot anyone who says ya' fat still? LOL

You know this only works if you take the pizza with a side order or chicken alfredo on angel hair

Why not post this in the recipes board - you would get more response I think?

I really think you should re-think your goals, 15 lbs a month is 3-4 lbs a week, to do this you will have to eat so little that you will not be able to sustain it for the time your need to - and you will be miserable If you are serious about this life style change think of it that way - try for 1-2 lbs a week 1 lb is…

You need to be deficit to lose - 3,500 = 1 lb that is 515 per day You choose - either excercise it away or eat less most people do a combination. Weight lifting also maintains your muscle mass so you look good too.

It is not confusing you will lose weight either way If you pick your goal weigth to base it on then you wuill lose faster but be very hungry If you pick you current TDEE then you will lose a little slower be less hungry but have to readjust this as you lose

MFP does it for you but if you want to see each step you can use the calculators here http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/ibw/ Really just calculate your TDEE total daily energy expenditure, then be deficit to this by how ever much you want to lose per week 3,500 calories to lose a pound - approx 515 per day to lose a pound…

Great job!

OMG - great job!

Kudos - you look amazing!

You can so see the difference - this is a great achievement.....keep going the 2 hundreds are in sight

Must not be Israeli couscous....because that stuff knows Krav Maga. [/quote] I think in the middle east when they say cous cous they actaully mean bulgur which is cracked whole wheat
