As I started gettign close to my target weight (and already within a healthy range), I had the same issue. For me it is impossible to eat under 1500 calories and not be always hungry. However, if I eat over 2000 and excercise a lot and net 1200, I have no issue. So I guess i would suggest addign excercise and then eating…

I specifically searched for a thread like this because I thought I was plateauing. Now I am confident that it is my fault and that previously when I thought I was 1200 calories under maintenence (after workout), I was probably 700 under and when I thought I was 1000 under I was 500 under and now that I average what I think…

My wife (who is an amazing cook) does these 4 replacements in tons of baking 1) Stevia for sugar 2) Smart Balance Lite Butter for Butter 3) Apple sauce For Oil (No clue where she found this one but it works) 4) Egg beaters for eggs.

If you are lucky. I knew when I was 16, we married when i was 22 and I am 32 now. I agree that you will know within a few months.

Ditto. If you have lower lean body mass, you will be colder. I think this is the case generally whether you have lost or already skinny.

I did 2 pounds per week for quite a while. BUT. I was doing 1400 calories of exercise a day which meant i still at 2500+ alories. When i cant work out for a couple days day for 1 reason or another, I feel terrible if i eat anywhere near 1200. On those days I just break even at 2200

If the only options are to lay off the carbs AND take these or do neither, I guess the former is a better option. Barely. Most of that stuff from GNC is full of crap. But there are a million better options. I'd recommend lower carb otptions like peanut butter or a small ammount of dairy which would curb his appetite.

As far as detoxing goes, its good for you to sweat a lot. When I started losing weight and working out a lot, i would leave a residue of sodium and such on anything I got sweat on. Now after a couple months, my sweat is barely salty. I wont do a juice only diet either. But what I do do is eat very few processed foods.…

I check it daily, but I only record a new low when I''ve dropped to or below a certain amount for 2-3 days because my weight fluctuates up to 2 pounds even when taking at the same time each day. I also never record a new low on Friday because i virtually always go up a little on the weekend. For me that model keeps me…

I 100% agree. I posted something a while back about subway irresponsibly implying that you will lose weight when you go there every day and that is an unrealistic expectation given that they push the cheeze and sauces and all of a sudden your at 1000 calories and 2000 mg of sodium but i got reemed for it.. I get that 100…

I would strongly recommend more fruits and veggies, startignt he day with a whole grain, and addign some excercise and eating the calories burned back. I net out near 1200 calories after working out and i feel like I am eatign a lot and am frequently full. Feel free to look at my diary.

I am not confident in the negative calorie concept so I track them. Its not uncommon for me to eat 2 apples and 2 bananas in a day. I could literally eat 5 or 6 of each a day but I am sure i would gain weight. But as others said, part of it is for tracking vatamins too.

To be perfectly honest, I do not. I gain about .5-1.0 pound every weekend. Then I lose 1-3 during the week. I only record a new weight when i hit it for more than 2 days.

I have hit plateaus a couple times while losign weight. There are several options but the point is to change somethign up. Starvation could be an issue as it was for me. Here are 2 things I have had work for me 1) For 3 days try to net 0. Eat your full calorie burn plus what you excercise and no less. Then go back to…

I was doing something similar but possibly to a greater extreme. My target was 1300 and I was eating 1500 but working off near 1000. I would lose weight but then I would feel like crap after a couple days. I have increased my intake to about 2300 but i burn off 1000-1300 and thus net out 1000-1300. I feel much better doing…

I am not doing their meal plan either. Besides eating healthy, I have added 2 "meals". I eat 1 of these mid afternoon and 1 after my evenign workout 1) 8 ounces vanilla Chobani. I buy the 32 ounce containers at costco. 2) 3/4 cup basic oatmeal + 1/4 cup raisins To each of these I add Splenda (I buy the bigger box) and a…

We make chicken 3-4 times a week and its mostly grilled. in extra virgin olive oil and 1 or more of the following Basted in bar-b-que sauce marinated in italian dressing More frequently (and for less sodium) we baste it in extra virgin olive oil and 1 or more of the following lemon pepper seasonning montreal steak…

It depends how you use it as with any other excercise. I just started it after months of other workouts. I am using it to increase my cardio and get my legs stronger. Not specifically to lose weight. For that I do a lower intensity 60-70 minutes on a Precor AMT while I watch TV. No matter what you do, maintaining a healthy…

MY Home / Goals, click "Change Goals", then "Custom" then set to whatever you like.

Yay - I found a match!! i did it by doing the forum search and enterrign "birthday may 27th". much easier than paging through

I am picking it up today from someone on craigslist. Not sure whether I will start tonight or do my normal workout (which at 1200-1400 calories isnt terribly sane itself)

I had the same issue. Started eating 2 apples a day and get a lot of my fat through olive oil and the issue cleared up.

I use this machine 5 times a week. Itis my favorite. I do it at resistence 20 (I built up to this over a few months) and for 60 minutes. Its calorie count seems accurate for me as the 1000 calories per day I burn on it are consistent with my weight loss.

I agree with the comment about Olive Oil. Veggies in the overn with olive oil is my favorite. Filling, healthy, and it can make up those calories. Personally I only eat back my workout calories (which are a lot) to the extent that I am not hungry. My calorie "goal" in MFP is really just a tool to see what I have done. In…

I guess 99% of you just disagree with me or are not getting the point. I don't have a problem with what I personally eat anymore nor do I have a problem specifically with what they serve (or what Wendy's or McDonalds serves). I have taken the responsibility to research it and eat what it healthy for me. My issue is with…

Starting at 186. My goal weight is 170 for a vacation in 8 weeks so 176 in 5 weeks is a perfect mile stone. Here we go

I think its irresponsible to base the majority of their adverizing on how healthy it is and how it is better for you when a realistic experience is rarely close to what they advertize. I dont have as much problem with what they sell and how they sell it as the implication that the majority of what you get there is good for…

I have the same problem as my weekday goal is unrealistic for the weekend. Here is how I manage it: First, I am much more physically active on the weekend aside from not working. My weekday calories burned without workout is 2270. So on the weekend I give myself a bit mroe and just try to stay under 2400. I also eat a…

My wife and I have done it for a week or so. She is getting a lot out of it. I am not so much except for the abs part. But I do cardio every day already. So i guess what you get out of it depends on where you are coming from.
