Hey guys. I was holding steady at my old goal weight for a while but recently gained a few pounds back. Im now looking to lose those few pounds

hmm really makes me wonder about my eating style. I usually don't eat my first meal until about 2pm and then I am eating/snacking until maybe 1 am. I dont go to bed until about 4 am though. So I wonder is this slowing me down? You hear so much about not eating after 6 but hell I don't even get home from work until midnight.

Good luck newbie! I'm kinda new myself. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I had that happen years ago and it does feel awesome.

I understand your pain. My weight loss is equally slow. It seems like I won't lose one pound in a month and then ill get on the scale and have lost 2. Its like my weight leaves in pounds instead of one at a time. I've lost 13 so far and it was snowing when I started so maybe 6 months total with the last 4 being more…

You sound like me, I am 154 and my goal weight is 140. I want to be a lil thick but not a teaspoon away from fat. I have been 115 before and when I look at the pics of me then I looked "crackheadish". I also felt more vunerable being that thin because I felt too light to fight and too thin to win. ha ha! oh I am 5'1. maybe…

LoL!

I also feel like because I am never hungry if I eat 1280 that my body is getting enough food. It this a bad way of looking at it?

Ok so my mfp is set to 1280. How do I set it so that it will give me 1200 cals a day? I'm very nervous about eating back calories and I think that if its lower I will feel better because of the cushion. I have my activity set to lightly active or something like that.

What has trully helped me is protein shakes. I try to drink one every morning or get some kind of extra protein troughout the day. It helps a lot with cravings for some reason (other then pms when all bets are off!). If I eat oatmeal or a lot of carbs early in the day then I'm going to feel starved all day. So try to up…

Very funny! I'm gonna try this!

Wow you look great!! You surely dont look like you are 187! I am 154 and my stomach is a gut and yours is almost flat! I guess thats what 8 more inches look like. ( im only 5'1)

I am in the same boat as you. Yesterday I annihilated a half of quart of frozen yogurt. I allowed pms to get the best of me. I beat myself up a lilttle bit but then I thought, this is a journey! Don't beat yourself up about it. Tomorrow eat lighter than normal and do extra exercise.

What I'm trying to do is to stay within my calorie range even if all 1280 cals come from junk food. Maybe that will help me to not be setback. I hope it hurrys up and comes because once it does my appetite is great again. I didn't eat a lot of junk the past month so I thought I wouldn't have cravings. Ha!

Ok thanks. I'm gonna try this because otherwise I will binge as well.

I am the same and it is just like being pregnant! I'm sleepy all of the time but one thing that will get me up is my appetite. Any other time I can sleep through hunger. Even though I have been eating more junk I am staying within my calories so that's a good start.

Hi! I'm 5'1 and my goal is to lose 14 more lbs. Feel free to add me

welcome back! feel free to add me :)

I am still so very confused as to why you need to up the calories to lose weight!

yes I noticed the exercise "eat back" thing on my food journal. I have been ignoring it and attempting to eat only 1300. I have been eating about 1300 since July 1st and have gotten used to that number. I have tried for a couple of weeks to have a cheat day but it makes me feel sooo guilty when I do it that I don't think…

I've lost 8 and looking to lose 14 more. So wait, I'm supposed to eat back the calories I exercise off? So whats the point of burning those calories?? I thought exercise was a bonus to help burn more calories.

That's funny! This is how my conversation goes with my boyfriend. 4am (him getting off of work). What to you want to eat? Me: nothing Him: nothing? Me: nothing Him: you sure?? Me: NOTHING!! Him: nothing at all?? Me: sighhh, subject change.. After two months of this he is still testing me constantly.

Yes!! Its taken 2 1/2 months to lose a measly 5 pounds and I work my butt of! I guess losing 5 is better than losing none or gaining 5! LoL

Chocolate Tea? wow i gotta check this out! I always use tea when I'm craving or just wanting to eat something. Cereal is good too as well as a low fat yogurt. If im hungry (and not just greedy) I will make an open faced egg beater sandwich with low fat cheese. It's only like 125 calories.

Hello all, I just joined today and I am so happy to find a site like this. I need support and people who can relate to losing weight and exercising. Its kinda hard to have a weight loss conversation with people in your circle who don't give a hoot about losing weight. I need friends and support! Thanks!
