I've got BED and I've managed to lose almost 50 lbs. I definitely know how hard it is losing weight. Unlike those who are addicted to cigarettes or alcohol, you can't just completely cut out food. This site has helped me a lot. I find myself much more in control when I'm tracking my foods, and it helps prevent me from…

In my opinion, this tastes better than real ice cream :)

I'm down to the last 10-15 pounds, and I'm already technically at a healthy BMI, so MFP has me set to lose like 0.8 pounds a week (and that's on like 1200 a day, which I don't do every day). I would suggest increasing strength training to tone up and trying to get your TDEE up. Also: This. I've noticed that with 15 vanity…

Went from a tight size 9 to an 8-8.5 after about 40 lbs of loss. :)

It's different for everyone. I try between 1200-1300 on days I don't work out since I have a TDEE of about 1650. This makes for extremely slow weight loss, but I'm down to the last 10 pounds and don't want to starve myself.

ROFL!

Mine is open as of yesterday (I just started tracking on MFP again). I'm also 5'4", and I'm trying to lose the last 10 or so pounds. By the way, I want your body :)

Take advantage of those free college counselors while you still can!

I do that thing when taking pictures where I hunch my shoulders forward a little to make them stick out more :)

Special K products = sugar, sugar, and more sugar. You'd be starving because of all the carbs you'd be consuming in place of a balanced diet.

Good idea getting down to like 115-120 and seeing where you want to go from there. 98 lbs on 5'0" = 19.1 BMI (which is an awesome BMI). That being said, everyone is different. especially if you've got a lot of weight in your chest area. Keep shrinking and reevaluate as you go along :)

Order it on Amazon, you can get free shipping :) It is seriously the greatest stuff ever!! It's in powder form so you mix it with water (or anything else you want) and you can make it as thick or diluted as you want. I love adding a little extra water to make it less thick and making a delicious peanut butter apple dipping…

Of course! Alcohol has tons of calories... Only things I don't log are water/black coffee/tea.

5'4" female here. Started at 175, lost 50 pounds on 1200 diet. Was never able to lose weight on a higher calorie diet (believe me I tried). Bottom line: some people need to eat less calories to lose weight. So sick of the broad generalization that people eating 1200 are undereating and would be just as successful eating…

I gain on 1500. If I do 1000 a day, I lose about a pound a week. Super jealous of these people who can actually lose on 1600 :(

Trying to hit 1000 each day

I checked out your profile and it looks like we're very similar. I do this often, where I feel like I have a bad day then I'll try to correct it the next day by detoxing. What I do is drink a ton of water, and only eat completely natural foods (mostly fruit and vegetables), making sure not to go above 500 cals. Generally,…

No you definitely don't need to eat that much. 1700 is probably a good number, especially if you're working out. The way you should calculate it is figure out how much you're burning a day, they just make sure you have a deficit, either through eating less or exercising (generally you shouldn't have more than 1000 calorie…

Hi everyone :) My name is Kristie, I'm 23 and live in southern CA. Really glad to have found this group! I've had issues with food my whole life. As a kid, I was an extremely picky eater. Now, I love almost all food. I have BED, EDNOS as well as body dysmorphia disorder (isn't that a hell of a combination?) Over the last…

5'4" Current Weight: 137 BMI: 23.5 Size 6 For me, clothing (especially shirts) depends on where I buy it. Some stores, I know I'll need a small, other brands, I'll need a large. I've gotten good at eyeballing :)

Los Angeles represent!! Anyone feel free to add me :) Could use some CA buddies!

Granola. On bad days (like this whole last weekend), I eat it like cereal. I can eat tons and tons of it. Soooooo bad....

I had to completely cut sugar (except fruit) from my diet. I can't even have a little bit otherwise I will crave it like crazy. I'm a complete addict! And everyone else is right - cut the artificial sweeteners. I used to drink tons of diet coke. Not only is that stuff poison, but it messes with your sugar levels and can…

Hello from Los Angeles :) Would love to be friends with some fellow Californians!

Veggies and low-calorie hummus from Trader Joes. I do a blend of baby carrots, snap peas, and cherry tomatoes to take with me to school. Very few calories and you get to eat lots of them! By the way, lemon is awesome for you! I definitely can't eat them raw, but I love squeezing some into my drinking water :)
