I'm glad to hear your story. I too am on 1200 calories and doing just fine. I am not hungry I eat what I am allowed and just make really healthy choices to get the most of my 1200. I did this 20 years ago and lost 36 lbs and kept it off for over 15 years. I have been on 1200 calories since mid September and so far lost 23…

I like her dvds also but her constant sillyness wears on my nerves. Thank heavens I can mute that out and add my own music to the moves.

I do and believe it or not in a few minutes the soreness goes away!

Great feel good story. Thanks for sharing it. I also find that when I get compliments about my weight loss it motivates me to keep on going. :-) Your doing a great job.

I have stopped drinking diet soda and drink it very rarely. I have gotten hooked on Arizona diet green tea. I love it! Its good for you too!

I was on weight watchers for many years and lost weight with it. I started counting calories instead when I made a visit to my doctor and she suggested myfitnesspal. I actually find I like counting calories better then the points. I can look at something and right away figure out the calories per serving instead of…

You should use what the machine says. I also use one and the ones on MFP are higher then my actual machine says! .:flowerforyou:

I'm also in agreement with many here. The middle picture you are way to thin and gaunt. You look great in the last photo. I think you should just start working out to build some muscle. Keep up the good work. You look awesome.

My official weigh in day is Friday. If I lose or if I gain I record it. NOT just when I lose. Honesty is the best policy for me and it keeps me on track for the next weeks weigh in. But, I have never tained since starting my weight loss journey Sept. 13. I stayed the same one week and dropped the following week 2.4.

Good job! Its a totally new you!

we need to see your food diary to help you. My suspicion is you are not eating enough.

I say stick to your plan and stop thinking you won't do it. Positive thoughts result in positive outcomes. Thanksgiving is one day, Christmas is one day, don't lump them all into a continuous holiday and you will be fine. My plan is to continue on with my calories I am currently on and if I go over the one day of…

sounds good but 532 calories is alot for a meal. I never eat that many calories in one meal.

Yes its possible but not a very wise goal. We didn't gain this weight in a month and its not a good thing to lose it fast. If you don't reach that goal your setting yourself up for failure. Focus more on changing your lifestyle. IE eating healthy, incorporating exercise in your diet. Taking your measurements along with…

I way what a TERRIBLE doctor. You need to find a new one. My doctor is the one that got me on myfitnesspal. She suggested setting a goal of a lb. a week. I did that and it was so easy. I went back to her today on another issue. First thing she said when she walked in the room is my my congrats on the 10 lb. weight loss. I…

I didn't eat anything... and yes I am being honest.

I think you are eating to much sugar. Also you still have over 500 calories left for today. Do you always eat all your alotted calories? I suggest you eat more fruit, veggies and lean proteins (i.e. Chicken and fish) less the chocolate and sugary things you are using your calories for. Good luck

They are only free in WW not counting calories. But if it works for you thats all that matters.

I totally agree with you on this. That magic formula as you put it seemed so much more difficult then just looking at the calorie count.

Good Job! Keep it up.

I did WW for many years counting points. I did good but found myself obsessed with figuring out points. It took way to much time and energy. I switched to the counting calories and I find it so much easier then before. I just make sure I measure or weigh my servings. Its much easier when going to the grocery store to look…

I'm gonna try this next weekend at the legion chili contest! Thanks sounds yummy.

I actually eat them quite often. I make a small salad and its perfect for a light lunch. I count calories so the sodium is not a concern of mine. I checked with my Dr. she said they are fine to eat for lunch.

we also have a smoker but personally we prefer the jerky made with the ground turkey, chicken or beef.

we use ground turkey and have a hydrator and jerky gun that came with it. We buy the jerky spices from Cabellas.

I weigh in every Friday. I am in a Biggest Loser Competition and that is the day everyone picked for it. Its Nice though and I look forward to weigh in every week.

Your not eating enough. You need to eat close to your aloted calories or your body will go into starvation mode and you won't lose. Your not eating balanced lunch and dinner. Good Luck

I too suggest you get a food scale. You can get them really inexpensive or get the digital expensive ones. I could not do this without it. I measure and weigh everything I eat and log it. Right down to the Teaspoons and Tablespoons. Good luck!

Leslie Sansone walking tapes are really good for inside walking. There are different distances on the tapes fo you can do it as long as you want or as little as you want. I put it on music only because sometimes her constant talking drives me nuts! LOL Good Luck.

No.. unless again its Water gain. But, its a good practice NOT to weigh yourself everyday for the simple fact that your weight does tip up and down. That is why my Dr. suggested weighing once a week at the same time. Just a suggestion. Don't beat yourself up .:love: Deb
