Im currently 206 lbs and in a size 14. (Height: 5'6) Before that, I was in a size 12 when I weighed 195-200lbs... (At my smallest, I have been able to squeeze into a size 10 at 180lbs) So I guess the point of all this is that it varies greatly from person to person! Keep at it, and you will definitely get there!

BUMPITY BUMP BUMP! Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much! This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

In Lexington, KY...it is unfortunately WAY TOO COMMON! :S (The OBESITY rate (not overweight...OBESITY!) is 30.1% in KY for 2011)...and is predicted to jump from a 30 percent adult obesity rate in 2011 to 60.1 percent in 2030... In fact, at over 200lbs, I am in the middle of the 'size' category...It's actually very sad!

Bigger means stronger (talking about biceps in my arms)...NOPE! I'm smaller now than I was a year ago- and can lift WAAAAY more!

I used the spreadsheet, and now am losing steadily again! You can download it from here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/heybales/view/spreadsheet-ver-3-for-bmr-tdee-deficit-calcs-macro-calcs-hrm-zones-426221 It's a very simple method using the TDEE/BMR method, but it does all the calculations for you!

23 lbs is still awesome, and congratulations to your commitment to living a healthy lifestyle! :)

That's awesome! Keep up the fantastic work!!!

I just recently started to use the TDEE/BMR method and absolutely love it! It let's me eat to my fill (!!!!!) and also makes me very aware of what I am putting in my body! I was referred to the "spreadsheet" which does all the calculations for you (you just need to put in your exercise amounts for the week, and it…

Firstly, please open your diary so we can give better feedback! And also, please answer the following: 1) When did you start? 2) How many calories are you eating daily? 3) What is your goal? 4) What is your workout regimen?

This is the first time in my life I have decided to do a weekly weigh-in. Tomorrow is the big day! (I am used to weighing myself every single day- at least 3 r 4 times a day, and am hoping this will b a healthy change!)

Olives are my favorite pizza topping! Black, Kalmata, Green...ALL OF THEM!

Anything can show an increase on the scale, because weight loss is not linear. It is a gradual process with many ups and downs (and side-steps) along the way. The increase on the scale could be due to many factors: 1) The time of the month (your body naturally fluctuates in weight throughout the month- and even day)! 2)…

Mine are for smartphones or engagement rings...haha.

INDIAN BUFFET, followed by Mango ice cream! Yummmmmmmmmmm!

^^This. I will eat a bigmac if it fits my macros, and if I want one. Other times, I go for a lean cuisine. I don't make a habit of it though. I also agree with carrying protein bars if you are in a crunch.

^^This is great advice! Here are some helpful links if you want to read up more on the topic: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819055-setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets and if you want to try the TDEE method this link gives step by step of EXACTLY how to go about doing it:…

BUMP! Yummmmmmm.

My first week of weight loss, I lost 4 lbs, and then the next week, I had gained 7 (including the ones I had lost). It felt really counter-intuitive and I felt extremely discouraged. However, 2 weeks after that, I was back on track. Now I know not to consume myself with the scale. I would even recommend hiding it so that…
-
I don't have any regular schedule of cheat meals, but I will allow myself a cheat meal if my weekly average will still be on track (this is easily seen on the android app). I also allow myself to give in to cravings of unhealthy things (like donuts, ice cream, chips, brownies) but will only do this if it fits in my calorie…

What's better for cardio? Miles or Kilometers?

BUMP. I definitely didn't realize the importance of well-fitted shoes! (Currently I am sporting my dad's old runners, and they feel awful). Looking forward to giving this a read!

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to this! I will definitely give that article a read! Currently at the gym, I am doing a combination of strength and cardio. For cardio= I usually start off by doing a 10 minute warm up on the elliptical, run for 20(ish) minutes, and then do 10 minutes of rowing or stair-stepper…
