Thanks everyone! I don't think I'm eating too few calories, because I wasn't eating all of my calories, and wasn't losing anything. Started eating ALL of my calories, and the weight started to move. It took a couple of months for me to get the courage to eat more to lose more, but it worked. But, it's still very slow,…

Twin (kind of) 27 5'0" 150 lbs Goal 120 lbs :)

I'm right there with you! I have NO IDEA what I should be eating in calories :( I lost 5 pounds, and guess what... stopped losing, and now at the same weight for 2-3 weeks :( BLAH, I wish I could understand this. And I'm not even hungry eating my 1200, so if I have to up it, I don't know what I'm going to do.

Ok, so is a calorie a calorie, or do I need to be clean eating?

Thanks! I'll add more fruits and veggies in and get my calories up with those, thanks!

Thanks everyone! Ok, what is the 40,30,30 thing?

I SOMETIMES eat back my calories, but not often. Last night, I definitely didn't and had trouble eating what I did. Other days, I'm starving and eat whatever I can, lol. I got 1200 bc that is what MFP put me at, but I'm only 5' so I'm thinking 1200 would be fine, right? Is eating back your exercised calories NECESSARY?

I applaud you all for working out everyday! I am so sore the day after my workouts I can't imagine working out again. Now, I do do some stretches and upper and lower ab work on those days, but you all are AWESOME!

I think I fixed it, lol

I don't know what you mean see my diary? How do you let others see or not see your diary? Sorry, I've only been on MFP for a few weeks.

Thanks everyone for your input! I appreciate it, it's good to see others ok at 1200 and see some results :)

I agree! More Fiber too :)

I guess I need a bigger deficit :)

How did you do it? It's AMAZING!

Thanks so much for all of the information! I'm going to look into all of it!

Thanks, I checked out her blog and some of her videos, looks like I've found where to start! Thanks for the help!

I'm looking to lose a total of 35-40 pounds, and I set it to 2 pounds/week. Not sure if that is how much I will lose every week, or if that's even realistic, I know as I get closer, it will come off slower. But, I'm really not too concerned with the scale, as much as I am the inches. I want my clothes to fit better. It's…

Thanks everyone! I don't mind to lose inches anywhere, for sure, but my waist is where it needs it most. Thanks for the tips. I'm only 5', so I don't think 1200 is too little for my goal calories, right? I don't usually eat all my calories, but I definitely eat when I'm hungry. Also, I know that is NET calories.

Oh, and I also don't want to lost muscle weight, just fat. I'm not concerned with the number on the scale as much as I am the number on the tape measurer.

We use Teaching Textbooks for math, Real Science 4 Kids for Chemistry, and we use Trail Guide to Learning Paths of Exploration for everything else. With occasional cursive, and extra grammar (Growing with Grammar).

I'm a homeschooling mom of 3 :) I have a 4th grade girl, pre-k girl, and an (almost) 2 year old boy! Hard to find time to get out and exercise, especially when it's cold. I think once the little ones are a little bit older it will get easier. Thoughts?
