It's not nagging in any way at all! I love my FitBit One. It doesn't make any noise and it is tiny. It fits in my bra and comes with a very comfortable, thin, flat-against-the-skin wrist strap for sleep (because it also tracks your sleep if you want it to but I wanna know what I burn during sleep). If you are someone who…

Maybe just have one of those days as a free-for-all since we should all enjoy food with family and in new places. Take some pressure off yourself for ONE DAY. And then just be up front with your family and tell them that you gotta stay on top of your goals. Nothing wrong with that. :-)

I think EVERYONE has this issue in some way. You are unlikely, without spending some money, to get a spot on number for any of the things we track. BMR, TDEE, calories, ect. I've decided that as long as I'm doing my best, I'm not going to focus on it too much. I want to honest and get as accurate as I can but I try to…

Honey!!! You need to eat more. Period. You aren't doing yourself any favors by eating so little. 1700 calories is NOT a binge. That probably only covered your BMR! Then again...your BMR is probably lowered from eating so little. From all of us here on MFP, PLEASE EAT MORE. Its fun. :-)

I love how this thread turned out.

JUST STOP ALREADY DUDE.

As long as you are eating nutrient rich foods and little to no processed foods, you're diet seems ok. And definitely don't CONSUME less than your BMR. You can get a decent estimate of your BMR from calculators that are all over the internet and different apps and eve here in MFP. But I have to say, it sounds like you are…

"Do you mean you burn a total of 2300 a day and not 2300 from exercise?" I meant in a day. Some days its a bit more if I'm super busy at work and I add in a high intensity work out and some days (like yesterday when I was too flippin' tired and had a massive headache) its less. On AVERAGE, I'd say 2300 a day that my Fitbit…

Yes!!! NET CALORIES PEOPLE!! net calories! Don't just eat your BMI! My calorie goal from MFP is 1200. And I hit that target or better by eating 1500-1900 calories a day and burning at least 2300 or more each day. And the weight is dropping! I too was under the impression that a 1200 calorie day was just that. I could only…

That is not enough calories, yo! At your height and weight, that sounds like its just enough to cover your BMI (which is what you would burn if you were in a coma). You aren't giving your body enough fuel to work its best. Eat at least 300-400 more calories a day and try to get to a deficit of -500 to -750 a day after…

Now remember, MFP gives you a NET CALORIE goal. 1400 seems very low for a total calories consumed goal. At 5'6, that sounds like that's just covering your BMI. I'm 5'2, currently 200 lbs and on a 1.5 lb a week loss plan and MFP has set me at a 1200 NET CALORIE goal with a deficit of -750 cals a day. But my calories…

Have you heard of tiny Melinda Mae, Who ate a monstrous whale? She thought she could, She said she would, So she started in right at the tail. And everyone said,"You're much too small," But that didn't bother Melinda at all, She took little bites and she chewed very slow, Just like a little girl should... ...and…

PREACH! This is how I overcame my fear of the gym. For me, it causes great anxiety. GREAT ANXIETY. I start breathing hard as soon as I start putting on my shoes. I just kept pushing myself to go every day. By going at a time when there weren't many people, I was able to get more comfortable with the idea and turn it into a…

Really?

You absolutely need more calories. And you should add in some healthy fats like nuts or some kind of nut butter. Even just 300 calories more should help your metabolism. You are keeping your net calories a little too low. Try it for a couple weeks and see if you lose about 2 lbs.

I know that it might frustrate them, but tell you need to cook for yourself. It sounds like they control the grocery budget. So ask if you can have a small amount of that or take on all the cooking if necessary. You sound like the only one who want control of what they eat badly. Which is excellent . First, ease up on…

I agree with everyone else. You aren't doing your long term weight loss success any favors by eating so few calories (Trust me---I totally get how counterintuitive that sounds). You do need to be consuming at least 300-400 more calories per day. Don't let your net calories fall below 1200. At this point, you aren't giving…

Oh honey. Get out NOW. Things will only get worse after the baby is here. Stories like these RARELY turn out better. Unless he recognizes that he is providing a challenge instead of support and agrees to work together to find a solution to his need to pick at you. But from the sound of it, he has a terrible case of…

SERIOUSLY????? PEOPLE ARE RESPONDING THIS??? You gotta be kidding me....

I have the same goal. I'm 5"2 and currently at 185. I'd like to get down to 130. That's where I felt most comfortable. This is the first time I've ever joined an online community for weight loss and I'm hoping that this will help motivate me to do something I've been meaning to do tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and…
