Sounds like Old El Paso did you a favor.

I'm done with my weight loss but I struggle over food. I find myself obsessing over what to eat. Trying to make healthy choices and get my macros correct is difficult and frustrating sometimes. I don't have a problem with not eating junk food though.

Awesome!!

Stop thinking about food as a reward. Food is fuel, nothing more.

I did 1200 a day for quite a while with great results. I personally don't see why everybody gets all up in arms about it.

Justin's Honey Almond Butter.

Welcome aboard.

Once I decided to lose weight and be healthy I gave up alcohol completely.

Non Scale Victory. Like going down a jean size.

Yup, seeing the first digit change is nice too.

I lost 172 pounds on 1200 calories a day.

I lost 171 pounds in a little over 8 months. It took a big deficit and a lot of exercise.

I use MFP every day. I also have an open diary. Feel free to add me.

You can do it! Don't ever tell yourself otherwise. All you need is determination.

Kind bars are awesome. I eat them quite a bit.

I have lost 171 pounds in a little over 8 months. Call it a crash diet or whatever else you want, can't argue with results.

Just diet and exercise. My diary is open if you want to check it out. I did a ton of high resistance cardio.

Just general fitness. I don't want anything crazy. Just want to be healthy.

I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary for the holidays.

:drinker:

I've lost 157 pounds. Don't give up on yourself. You can do it.

I add "Bare Naked Banana Nut" granola to plain Greek yogurt.

Very kind words. Thank you so much. :)

I was doing cardio everyday and lifting 3 days a week. For the past month or so I have been doing all cardio. Mostly elliptical on high resistance. I have recently started to run because I registered for the Manchester road race on Thanksgiving. www.manchesterroadrace.com

No, it was torture being 344 pounds. It was difficult losing the weight but it is the best thing I'v ever done for myself.

Yes, I shoot for 1200-1300 calories a day.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you are asking if I consume more if I burn more, no I don't.

Goof off on my phone. Usually read forums.

Wow, I wasn't expecting such a response! Thank you all very much for the kind words. I'll go through the thread and try to answer all your questions. Yes, once I am happy with my weight I intend on hitting the weights pretty hard. I'm not sure what I want to get down to though. I'm thinking somewhere abound 185-190 we'll…

I'm in the gym 7 days a week and eat between 1200-1300 calories a day. I also cut out 100% of junk. I don't do cheat days.
