You have to net over 1000 calories or you will get that message. The 1900 goal is realistic. Be wise about using those calories though, choose healthy fats to get the count up. I know that if I net less than 1300, I don't lose. (my goal is 1560). Those numbers are based on science... Do a google search for TDEE and it will…

I started Optavia 7/13 and aside from a 9 day vacation where I was 100% off plan, I’ve been really following it to a T.. I’ve lost 31 pounds in 10 weeks.. Amazing and can’t wait to continue. Please feel free to add me on here, Id love to be able to support each other! username: likerebecca Good Luck to all!

I only just started a few days ago but already down 3.8. Looking to connect with others on the same journey

I'm here.. Feel Free to add me. Ive tried everything.. but MFP is the only thing that worked for me. Last year I lost 44 pounds and then the holidays came.. I was good until I went on vacation first week of January and broke my foot with multiple injuries. I was depressed and immobile.. I ate.. and ate.. and ate.. Then I…

OK Count me in. I lost 44 pounds in 2013, then broke my foot and tore a piece of my joint the first week of January. I got sidetracked (and lazy after I healed). I just got back on today. I'm READY for a challenge. Gained 39 pounds back. I need to get rid of them, I have never done a challenge that involved a google…

5.15 miles today...

Just bought a DDR and dance pad combo on eBay for $15... not a bad deal to "try it out". Loved this thread because it shows me that it does work. Now I just have to not be a klutz!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the step classes on Wii balance board and think I will love this too.

I am loving this post.. 1. Had to spend the whole day emptying my closet because everything is too big 2. As a result of #1, I now have to spend a boat load of cash buying new (smaller) clothes 3. I'm getting overloaded with fresh air when I'm out for my walks and bike rides 4. I too, have to keep repeating to everyone how…

OK I'm in!! I will try for 100 miles since I'm a newbie here, but I think I do 60 a month just at work.. We shall see! Good Luck all!

I agree... it's weird.. During the week I fluctuate up within a pound, but come weigh in day, I always see a nice loss.. It all depends on your hydration, time of day, and god only knows the moon for all I can figure out! lol

Count me in too!!

Your first few weeks you will lose quickly.. this is VERY quickly, but may be a lot of water weight. Just don't get discouraged when it slows down to the normal 1-2 pounds a week.

Collar bones is my favorite too!!! Can't wait to see more!!

Yea!! What you said!

OK so I'm 5' 8 1/2"... I was 135 lbs some 15 years ago and trust me I drool over those pics of when I was young and thought I was too FAT - WHAT?? Oh boy.. Now I wonder if I can get down that low. I'm right now aiming for 150-160. January 2 SW = 246. Current weight 213. Not too Shabby! I can't imagine what another 50…

**TEAM SACRIMONI** I am in this challenge to help me with accountability... If I don't have to report back to someone, I likely won't do it.. which is the biggest part of how MFP helps me!!

Great Job!! Keep up the great work - it Pays off!! Just remember, you lost much quicker in the first few weeks so don't get discouraged if it's not 15 pounds every month (trust me, I've been there!).

I'm about to start TF tomorrow!!! PPlan to start with the Prep Schedule as I don't do a lot of aerobic activity. Wish me Luck~~ And ADD ME !!

I'm starting in a few days as well... Anyone else starting this week, please add me! We can do it this together!

**TEAM SACRIMONI** I'm not a patient person and can't be bothered with returning bottles and cans to the recycling machine.. so whenever I have enough to gather I drop them at the local beer distributor to a homeless family who hangs out there... Today I will drop off my current stock, and include some food and water as…

I'm wanting to try almond butter... But for those of you who clicked this post looking for peanut butter substitutes for the caloric level.... GO BUY PB2! Powdered Peanut Butter for protein shakes...... 45 cal for 2 tbsp

Welcome! I find MFP to work much better than WW... I don't need to think as much.

WOW - Just Amazing!! I can't wait until I can share a story as great as yours!!

Great Job!!

Carbs before, protein after.. but good carbs. Example.. I eat a banana before because it's fruit but it's got the carbs that my body needs to burn off during my workout.. then a protein shake after... smoothie style... so fruits added too so it's a filling satisfying "meal". Since I've been substituting one of my 5 small…

My TDEE is 2253.. so TDEE-20% = 1802. I'm currently eating between 1450-1550 a day.. MFP sets my goal at 1640.. I'm consistently losing 1.5-2 pounds a week. So does the TDEE method tell me that if I eat another 300 calories a day I will lose MORE?? Hmmm.. Doesn't sound too healthy to me. And I know I'm too scared to try..

hahahhaah - I love this

Wine is full of sugar... Definitely try and cut back. Even if you cut back to one glass.. or cut back on the amount of days. Last year I cut out drinking for several months and changed NOTHING else about my eating habits (which were atrocious) and lost 8 pounds pretty quickly. So my 32 pounds lost is actually 40 pounds....…

*Team Sacrimoni* Hi there, I'm Kerri! I'm a 35 year old single professional, and I've been serious about MFP since 1/3. I've done well so far, but still need to lose about another 60 pounds. Hoping to do so by the spring. If it weren't for my support group here on MFP I would not be able to do it. I guess you can say "I'm…
