Thank you everyone! I appreciate all your suggestions.

Yes, soft tissue neck injury from whiplash. You have fully recovered, how long did it take? I feel like I'm never going to be 100% again!

I take Advil or Robax when needed.

Thank you for your advice and suggestions. I will get a food scale. I do use measuring cups and spoons for most foods, but some things may not be accurate as I don't have a food scale.

Okay, so I went back to the site I calculated my TDEE and it put me at 1692 calories a day to lose approx. 1lb a week. To maintain I would eat 2115 calories a day. I had set MFP at 1600 calories a day. I then went in to MFP and changed my settings/goals and its saying to eat 1480 calories a day to lose 1lb a week. Which…

Yikes!! Okay, thank you! I do recall subtracting something from my TDEE, however I did it awhile ago now (back in November/December). I'm going to tweek my diet and calories and give it a month and see how that goes. :)

Congratulations!!! You look great!!! I agree with slow and steady. Its been a full year I've been on MFP and I've only lost 20lbs. However, I've gone down from a size 14 pant to an 8, and from an XL top to a L sometimes M depending on the style. I also have some medical issues that are contributing to my weightloss issues.…

Thank you SO much for sharing your story!!! I really needed that right now! It has taken me almost 11 months to lose 20lbs and I get so disheartened because I've made huge changes in my life. Mostly the addition of exercise, but have done work on my diet as well. I've gone down clothes sizes, my body has changed, I'm…

Amazing!! You look so much happier now! :)

Beautiful!! :)

I see changes in your face and arms the most!! You're doing a fantastic job!!! You should be very proud!

You look awesome!! Congratulations!!! :happy:

Chances are its from your muscles retaining water from your intense workouts. I would suggest you take pics and measurements that you can compare to later. I haven't lost much on the scale, but have gone down from a size 14/12 pant to a size 10/8, and from a XL shirt to a L and sometimes depending on the style of top a M.…

Thank you for sharing GoddessG. I couldn't imagine being so restrictive, that would definitely take some discipline!

I agree! I love reading all the success stories! Very inspiring!

You are amazing!!! What an inspiration!!!

Congratulations!!! Way to go!!!!

Fantastic work!!!

A good friend of mine has been living a low carb lifestyle for a number of years now with great success! I think she limits her carbs to 20g a day. She suspects a wheat intolerance or sensitivity as her cystic acne cleared up when she began eating that way, and it returned when she was pregnant and breastfeeding because…

I'm sorry you are feeling at rock bottom right now. I also have PCOS and find if I decrease my carbs (bread/rice/pasta) and increase my fibre and protein it helps. And the breads etc I do eat are wholegrain. For me, my weightloss has been very slow. I have also been on Metformin in the past. Perhaps that is something you…

Sounds good! :happy:

Another PCOS'er here! My weightloss is very very slow, but it is coming off!! :happy:

Thank you for your reply. Slow and steady is okay with me, it's all about the journey. And when I get to my goal weight/size, I know it doesn't end there. I will have to maintain. Which is why I'm struggling to find what works for me that I can do long term. I try not to let the scale dictate my success. I am going by how…

Hello everyone! I am so glad I came across this group! I am Jodi, 36 years old, married for 8 years, and have a 15 year old daughter. I began putting on weight when I started going through puberty. We always ate pretty healthy growing up and I was active, played soccer and did alot of swimming in the summer and figure…
