I currently weigh 158.. I am trying to eat 1400-1500 cals a day.. I workout 5 days a week for 1 hour.. I burn 400-500 calories per workout. I run, elliptical, spin, walk.. My BMI is 1250 at rest

I always get a blackened chicken salad...good and not too bad on calories if you watch the dressing.. I find it good and filling.

Sounds like program a couple of my friends are on.. is it Medithin? We have a clinic here that just opened up.. They eat VERY low carb(20-30 a day maybe), get b12 shots, and appetite suppressents. They both have lost weight quite quickly doing this without exercise. Here is my two cents..just my opinion... although I would…

Wow, when I started my journey I was hugely addicted to food. When I look back and see how far I've come and the fitness level I'm at I am overall impressed. We all make choices..good or bad..are ALL my food choices always the best..no, but who's is. I chose to continue to live life..If I can't go to a restaurant and enjoy…

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I am making baby steps towards eating more "clean." my diet and eating habits have changed significantly over the last 2 years..I still do eat processed food which I am working on getting rid of. My ultimate goal is no prepackaged food but it's tough. I LOVE going to the…

I am eating 1400 and working out.. I burn between 400-600 cals a workout depending on what I do. I wear a HRM and chest strap for more accurate readings. For the last 6 weeks I've tried netting my bmr which is 1250..so on exercise days I NET my bmr but nothing as of yet:( I wish MFP had a clearer way to determine calories…

I recently discovered the body by vi shakes.. all I can say is NUMMO! I drink one for breakfast and then go workout..I eat lunch and dinner. How many shakes do you drink a day? What is your favorite?

Great job! Once you've ran one mile without stopping, the rest comes naturally. For me, the hardest part was being able to run one mile without stopping. Get your breathing under control and get in your zone. Pretty soon you will running several miles at a time. Welcome to being a runner!

chocolate, peanut butter and banana smoothie...to die for..LOVE it.

I am 4'11 and MFP set me to 1200 as well. I did NOT eat back any of my exercise calories which in my opinion put me into starvation mode which then resulted in NO weight loss for a long time. I just couldn't wrap my head around to eat more calories when I exercised. For me, It was a big mistake. I have since found my TDEE…

awww...I know exactly how you feel:) Nothing makes me more upset than the scale not moving. I've plateaued for over 6 months..losing and gaining the same 3 pounds. I've since increased my calories to match my workout and it's been 5 weeks and my scale has began to move. I'm not sure if it will stay that way but it moved. 2…

That is FANTASTIC news! So happy for you:)

I have increased my calories from 1200 to 1400 and even more if I exercise. Check out the group eat more to lose and it will tell you exactly what to do. You are eating too few calories for the amount of exercise you are doing. A car needs fuel to run..our bodies need fuel to function. It took me quite a while to fully…

Definitly do it! Face your fears.. my run is most people's walk..LOL I figure hey, at least I'm out there trying:) As for bathroom, thats always a concern for me too.. I don't drink much water before I go out and don't run for more than an hour...hahahah For me, it is soooo much easier to run outside than on…

Yeah, It's only day 3.. no way can I access if it's working yet or not. I know I need to net my BMR at least..however, no way I can stuff any more food into me right now. I would have been good had I not got a new bike and went out a couple times tonight to play with my new toy..LOL I feel good about my food choices other…
