Have you considered doing Zumba? You could search in your area for classes or you could buy some DVDs (or if you have an Xbox/Wii you could buy a game). I find that it is a fun way to move around and burn some calories and time flies when you are having fun. Amazing job so far. You are a major inspiration to people like me…

maybe you mentioned this but I missed it - what macros do you do? Do you go by the IIFYM recommended?

I'm 5'2'' and 242 lbs. I had the VO2/OX test they have you do at those doctor's offices where you do medically supervised weight loss and they gave me my BMR. So I know my BMR is on the higher end of the spectrum. Either way - when i type in my stats in IIFYM it gives me like 1900 calories a day with a deficit. I did the…

@DeirdreWoodwardSanders yea I'm currently working on my macros trying to figure out the percentages. The first few weeks I was on low carb (15%) but now now that I've kicked started some weigh loss I'm trying to change around my settings and see what works for me. I'll try out the scooby calculator. As you see above i…

@bwogilvie right diet as in what is the proper human diet. Just like my cat has a diet that he eats what are humans supposed to eat. (obviously its not twinkies). But that is what I meant. My references to Diets with a capital D was in regards to which of them or parts of them were the right way to eat/proper diet for…

@sing809 @FatFreeFrolicking @JoseCastaneda Ok I looked into the IIFYM calculator and it is giving me an astronomically large amount of calories to meet even when I set it to "aggressively lose weight".... Any thoughts on the # of calories it advises you to eat? Honestly I have my calories set to 1800 (i have been tested…

@kbmnurse I guess I meant more like diet in the noun sense, like dogs have a diet, cats have a diet, what is the best diet for us? But yes I get what you mean about the word diet and the baggage that comes with it. @bwogilvie that makes sense and thanks for the books advice, I'll add them to my reading list. I just…

@NoelFigart1 point taken but it can't hurt to see what those who have found success have done. Although I do agree that all of our body make ups are different and what will work for some may not work for me.

I welcome the add and would welcome the support and supporting you as well! I have about 100 to lose. But honestly its best not to think of the number as it feels a bit daunting... I try to just focus on seeing weight loss consistently :). Lets get healthy!! Woo!!

I'm a liberal in Texas too!! We do exist! And I also need to lose 100 lbs or so. I'll add you so we can encourage each other - as I will certainly need it as well. I am trying to get my diet goals down and then I'm going to make my fitness goals a priority. I also have a job where I sit on my bum all day - many days way…

@rand486 I am experiencing the same issue. And YoYoing is so harmful for you. I have read so much about how it is much worse to yoyo in weight than it is to just stay at your weight even if it is overweight/obese. I'm trying to find the answer to this as well. I have tried MFP, WW, low carb etc. But I really think its a…

Hello, I'm re-starting my MFP adventure for the ...I don't know the 4th time. I need some support. I just kinda stumbled upon this message forum and thought I'd reach out to you all. I know I need to lose about 100lbs but the number sound so daunting I can't even stand to think of it. It seems like such an uphill battle if…
