Bling and Minky :happy:

I had one of these days yesterday. I got attacked in my post :tongue: But the people who decided to try explain nicely........ They told me to keep going. Some said it takes up to 3 months for your body to adjust to the "new lifestyle" as it holds onto some of your calories and extra water stored in your muscles. Once your…

Thank you for the explanations!!!!!!!! Ok MFP says I must eat 1360 calories. So if I burn 500 calories then I really actually need to eat 1860 calories. Got it. But then what is the deal with TDEE?! oh my goodness so confusing :indifferent:

Oh yes I am 5'3 and weigh 148lbs. I want to get to 133lbs So I seem to be doing something wrong......Must I up my calories to 2000 immediately? Can someone just give me guidance. I cannot and will not give up. I need this lifestyle change for my health too. I understand I may initially gain some weight. I can deal with…

I am working my way up to TDEE-15% as advised bt EMTWL. I was told to increase about 100-200 calories each week until eating TDEE-15% Why must I eat back the calories I work off????? Surely then I could just not work out at all and just eat my usual calories (TDEE-15%)?? I log EVERYTHING I eat. My diary is open to view.…

For me, when I have a bad day/s, I wake up, put on the exercise DVD and just do it. It doesnt matter if I dont feel like it. I never feel like it. So I just force myself to do it, then it's done. Sometimes I have to really force it for a few days, but then it just becomes the usual routine. So my advice? Don't think. Just…

Yes. In the last 10 years I have been on yo yo diets. losing 25 pounds, gaining it back. I lose it in 8 weeks, and within 4 months of stopping the diet, have gained it back. So now I decided to join MFP. I have never exercised before or counted calories. I have been on MFP about 3 weeks and exercised 5 times per week for 3…

:( You ALL look so wonderful! But I do know that this is a serious disorder and sadly you most likely need therapy for it. If you havent managed to get over the past issues, seek a therapist and allow them to explore options with you and help you realise what it is that is holding your mind back xxx

yes!!!!!!!!!! I am a HUGE pizza fan. We would eat pizza twice per week on average and when I got a pizza, I had to eat it ALL. Even if I was full halfway through, I'd push to finish. I found out recently that pizza I was eating is 1800 calories!!!!!!! I have not had a pizza in 2 months! Have you ever made your own pizza? I…

This is a great idea! But in Miami its been about 95 degrees :s I am going to try walk with him in the early mornings as soon as he wakes up. It's still hot but atleast not 95!

Thanks I try do the harder workout first (30 day shred) and then the backside burn is more of repetition weight lifting. Unfortunately I can't get up before my son because generally I have been up most the night with him. So I am completely exhausted. Infact to exercise at all seems a mission but I'm proud to say I'm in my…

Thank you for the replies!!! My profile picture is my fat photo. I am so out of proportion and flabby. Thanks for the tip to read other diaries! Nice to get ideas of what I can eat :)
