I switched ten months ago and now I love sweet potatoes. I like them baked with either sour cream or cinnamon and butter. So good!

My favorite football team :flowerforyou:

I always did. The smaller you are, the less calories you need daily.

I usually log my whole day either the night before or the morning. That way I know exactly what I'm eating for the day and how many calories I'm having.

Sweet potato, whole wheat pasta or brown rice are my go-to carbs.

Just be consistent and don't beat yourself up if you go over once and a while. Good luck! :smile:

Wow, great job!

Great progress! Keep up the great work. :smile:

Great job! :flowerforyou:

I'm 47 and I've lost 120 pounds in ten months on calorie intake alone. I think it's challenging, but it can be done. Everyone is different. Switch some things up until you figure out what works for you. Good luck!

Maybe too much sodium? You might want to track that. It will make you retain fluids which could be where the 4 pounds came from.

You look great, congratulations!

On March 17th, 2012, I was sitting in my doctors office feeling worse than I ever have in my life and at that moment I decided to change my lifestyle or I knew I was going to an early grave. I've never looked back.

You look wonderful! Congratulations!

You look great! Congratulations. :flowerforyou:

I was over 300 pounds and didn't think I was THAT big. Until I lost 100 pounds and looked at pictures. Now I could slap myself for not noticing and doing something about it sooner.

Wonderful progress!

You look great! Keep up the good work.

Welcome to MFP! You've come to the right place. Good luck in your journey. :flowerforyou:

I've lost 120 pounds in 10 months with zero exercise. So I'm not sure why you think lack of exercise is holding you back?

Great job, keep up the good work!

Great job! You can really see a difference. Keep up the great work. :flowerforyou:

Throw a few healthy snacks into your day. Don't eat just because the calories are there. Maybe eat some nuts or something. They're high in calories.

Welcome to MFP! This site saved my life. Good luck in your journey. :flowerforyou:

Amazing! You look so different. Congratulations. :flowerforyou:

I think you should just aim for a BMI in the healthy range.

I've lost more than that in 4 months but I started at 323 pounds. For you, to lose that much that fast is going to mess up your metabolism and you'll more than likely gain it all back as soon as you start eating normal again.

Great job! You look so much younger. Congratulations.

The same thing happens to me occasionally. It's your body adjusting to the foods you're eating. I usually take a magnesium supplement. That usually helps.

Great work! Congratulations. :flowerforyou:
