Oh, okay! I didn't realize that I should still have a positive calorie in that, honest error lol. I had thought it just meant that I was losing more weight by the defecit, so that helps me out a lot! Thank you! And yes, I'm working VERY hard! :)

Thank you so much for your help! That gives me a number to shoot for, which really helps! I lost those 30 pounds faster than I ever expected, I was shocked lol. I'm not trying to lose tons of weight fast, just lose in general. Thanks for your support, I truly appreciate it! :)

How some of you are coming across is really condescending and judgemental. I'm just saying. I wouldn't have asked this question if I thought that I had it all figured out, hence the needing advice.

I eat about 30-35 grams of fiber a day and I get about 90-100 grams of protein per day. I eat very healthy, no processed foods. Whole grains, lean meats, veggies and very small amounts of fruit to keep my sugar…

My thyroid is actually borderline low. Looking at my protein powder, it will bulk up my calories by 130 calories per serving so that will help immensely. I can add it to my morning milk, and probably add in an afternoon or evening milk with protein powder and hit about 1300 calories which is even better. My body burns more…

Thanks everyone for the input! No, I do not low carb it. I take everything in moderation. Low carbing made me feel like poo, and so I just eat healthy carbs and stay away from the junk! Sometimes I will allow myself to have a splurge, however I honestly find that anymore I truly do not want the bad for me foods. My taste…

Hello fellow Hoosiers! I'm Sarah, I will be 33 on May 24 (how did I get this old? lol!). I live close to Southport. I'm married and have two sons. Looking to meet other MFP buddies from Indiana. I have a lot to lose, just got started on my journey in April. :flowerforyou:
