  • I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16. I gained 40 lbs over one summer and I have been getting bigger ever since. I have tried hundreds of “diets” since my teen years in order to drop the weight, but it would come off so slowly I would quickly give up. I am so tired of feeling unhealthy, and my having my doctor keep…

  • Thanks guys! I will see how I feel next week, and if I’m still this tired I will try to eat a little more in the morning. I will also start to remember to take my vitamin, I’m horrible with remembering that…. Thank you again for all your feedback, I really appreciate everyone on MFP!

  • I have had this same problem for years. This is why I am no longer “dieting”. Instead of just watching my calories, I am re-learning how to eat. Diets do not work for me.

  • Here the post that I read when I had that same question - OK, this will be long. Please read it if you are confused. Disclaimer: I am not a dietician or a doctor, just a successful loser and maintainer, who has consulted both doctors and dieticians. Question #1: Should I eat all my calories? Yes. MFP is already figuring a…
    in confused re BMR and suggested calories Comment by MaryBethD July 2010
  • You should eat the suggested number or calories, or a few below it. The BMR calories will be the amount of calories you burn by simply breathing minus 500 calories (for the 2 lb a week weight loss. It is probably minus 250 for the 1 lb a week). You don’t want to take in too few calories or your body will go into starvation…
