Well, you know its not for the long term, and I don't think a week will hurt you. I wish you the best of lucks with the experiment!

A couple of thoughts. First thing I'd do is make sure im measuring my weigth properly, weigh yourself at the same time of the day on the same scale, make sure the scale works properly. I would also make sure I'm assesing my calorie intake correctly. I use measuring cups and spoons and sometimes weigh my food. I also try to…

Hello Well, your numbers look about right. As a general rule of thumb a deficit of 500cal will result in about a pound of weight loss a week. Of course that is just an estimate and will have a lot variation. I don't worry too much about eating or not eating back my exercise calories. In my case they amount to about 200…

Yep it happened to me a couple of weeks ago. After a weekend of excess food and booze I went up a littl over two pounds. Im lucky that my weight doesn't seem to fluctuate too wildly from day to day, but I've found that watching the amout of salt I take keeps it steady. My guess is that if you drink plenty of water you'll…

Way to go!

Yep, I definitely see a difference I wouldn't call your current cheeks "big" by the way.

9 months of hard work has definitely paid off! You look great!

Great job! you look amazing, congratulations!

Congrats! And great post title by the way!

Great job! Congratulations!

Other than what others have posted my one piece of advice would be to log everything, -specially- on a bad day. I find that logging what I eat helps me owning up to it. I can't hide from my mistakes if i put them in writing. Feel free to send me a fr if you want.

Friend request sent! Welcome to MFP! I think it is a major step when you stop thinking about diets and start thinking about lifestyle changes. Seems to me like you are getting on the right track! I'm still a long way from where I want to be, but calorie counting has definitely worked for me, I guess it is because it has…

Could it be your scale is broken?. Btw, I did some quick math and i get over 800cals for what you ate: milk, 1 cup 146 cal bagel, 1 pz 153 cal cream cheese, 1 tbsp 50 cal feta cheese, 1 ounce 74 cal tortilla, 3 pz 120 cal beans, .5cup 114 cal oatmeal, 1cup 159 cal honey, .5 tbsp 30 cal (edited for spelling)

Hello from south of the border! Some of my favority mexican dishes: Chicken breast in Mole (black and green) Its probably very calorie dense, but I say it's worth it from time to time. I wouldn't suggest making it from scratch but you can go store bought and its really good... though I'm not sure what brands you could get…

I think two pounds per week is doable, I started MFP this August at 205 and I have lost about 22. In fact I want to lose another 20 by new years (and reach the next decimal mark of 75 kilos) I wish you the best of lucks in this challenge!

Your list looks a lot like mine would... A couple suggestions: Whole wheat bread, Fish (salmon, tilapia, bass),

Pastel de yuca... se oye rico! De donde eres por cierto? Jeje, 160 grs de carne si suena a mucho, pero que puedo decir.... soy adicto a la proteina animal! De hecho esa comida fué medida, hace un par de meses probablemente hubiera comido el doble.

I think you might be trying to lose to much too quickly. While 110 at 5'4'' is still "normal" as per BMI (19) and BMI is just a guideline, if you are planning on gaining muscle and not just trimming down, 110 it might be a little low. Muscle is heavier than fat. Per your age/ht/wt/ your basal requirement is probably around…

Well, the last pounds will definitely be harder, simply because your caloric needs decrease with weight. As far as energy is concerned, I don't think it will make a difference if you avoid calories from sugars or from any other source. However, I would try to avoid foods high in refined sugars or simple carbs (not sugars…

Well, I've read that some studies seem to point that the link between saturated fat and heart disease is not as strong as previously thought. On the other hand, poly and monounsaturated fats are known to help keeping HDL in the right levels, plus there are some essential oils that you definitely must include in your diet.…
-
Well, corn tortillas aren't bad, probably around 40cal. Im not sure if the hard ones are fried or baked (we actually don't have hard shell tacos in Mexico), wich would make a huge difference. Anyway, as long as you don't overdo it with the cream and cheese and go for chicken or lean beef I think you'll be fine.

First and foremost, the one person who should be happy with your body is yourself. That being said, I understand how being attractive to your husband would be important to you, in fact getting to be attractive for my wife is definitely one of the reasons I decided to lose weight and get fit. So I can relate. I know I have…

¿Could you elaborate on that? I mean, the EU Food Safety Agency, the UK National Health Council and practically all gvmnt health agencies in Latin America have similar guidelines. Gvmnt health agencies I actually trust to have policies that are supported by evidence. Anyway, I skimmed through a World Health organization…

Hello I too try to avoid fast food. If I have to eat it, I try to check the nutritional data beforehand online. If I can't do that, I usually follow a few pointers and don't end up so bad: Don't get the plus size meal Remember fast food cheese if full of saturated fats and calories Prefer chicken over ground beef Prefer…
