I have lost all mine at that exact amount with very very little exercise.......... calorie deficit is enough.

I know! But it feels good :)

I have 1 lb to go til I join you in the NOT OBESE category.......... and for me it will be the first time for 22 years :)

One of the big eye openers to me was how big my portion sizes used to be! Now I find that I can manage the smaller one and still feel full - but it did take a bit of getting used to! And I have lost my weight on 1600 calories a day (although I probably have a lot more than you to lose!) - my husband is on 1200 and he…

Yep - it has to take a hike! I love MFP too!

I have also set my activity level as sedentary (I am an office worker) and a 1lb week weight loss; and I very rarely add back any exercise unless it is unordinary, just try to eat just below or at the calories calculated. I have checked a lot of the calories in products with other sources (eg packaging, previous weight…

Ditto - this is not a diet - this is a way of eating for the rest of my life and it needs to fit in with my lifestyle. For me portion sizes have been the eyeopener, never realised how big my portions used to be til I weighed them!! I log everything too no matter what sort of day it has been - and I still eat some of the…

I have lost weight far easier on this site than I ever ever did at Weight Watchers or any other slimming clubs. I think its because I have a calorie amount for eating - not points or green things - and as long as I stick within the alloted amount I can eat what I like - nothing is red or forbidden. I know that I shouldnt…

How can we have cheat days if we stay within our cals whatever we eat - surely if eat a whole 1000 cal+ pizza and not much else, thats absolutely fine!!

thanks guys - i popped on the scales this morning just to check - and they are still gone, so I am very happy ;)

I dont take any pills...... whats the point as you have to eat properly at some point and relying on pills does not help your body in learning to adjust to a sensible eating regime.

Just have some! Even my husband has finally realised that if he has some breakfast, he won't be so hungry at lunchtime and can eat more sensibly through the day! After +30 years of not having any, he finally has more than just coffee - and he has lost 1.5 stone since August :)

Hello, me too!

I followed advice and set my activity level at sedentary and now log any exercise over the usual daily strolling about at work. This works for me very well as some days I do no extra and other days I take an exercise class. I can see the effect this has on my daily needs for calories and I am losing weight so it works for…

I log everything - if I know I have eaten it, I am only fooling myself by not logging it.... and I know I have so whats the point in that!

I am 5'9" and started yesterday at 229lbs..... I also have a goal of losing 33lbs and getting back into UK size 14-16 jeans again!
