You look great! Your hard work is paying off in the body recomposition area because it looks like you've lost more than 15lbs. I am curious to know what your calorie intake was/is. I've been doing some weight training and want to make sure I'm eating at a good enough deficit to lose but still eating enough to support my…

I'm in for the first time at 70 miles.

I'm in!!! Hopefully this'll keep me motivated to stay away from my mama's sweet potato pies and heaping piles of my auntie's dressing and cranberry sauce :sad: :happy: SW: 210 GW: 195

Thanks for the info! Imma try to shoot for a range of 1600-1800 to help me reach my overall goals.

Hey Ladies, I'd like to know the calorie goal that has been the most successful for you. I know it's not a one size fits all kinda thing, but some of you currently have or started with very similar stats to mine. I'm 31 y.o. and 5'6 started at 222 lbs about a month ago. I've lost about 10lbs now. MFP recommends I eat 1340…

I understand where you're coming from. Granted this sounds silly coming from an overweight woman that clearly knows how to eat. But since I've changed the type of foods I eat, I've been working on figuring out how to eat enough calories. The veggies just don't add up the way cookies and candy did. One thing that I've…

Girl your post just bought a smile to my face. Imma try to lose 50lbs tonight just to have the same experience. lol. But seriously when I get there I hope that this change makes such an inspirational impact on me as well.

Lol. Been there and done that. That's basically how we all ate in my family. Make a big plate and eat it ALL. Now I'm just trying to find the balance.

How awesome!! I am newly single so I look forward to seeing how getting healthier is going to impact dating. Congratulations on your success and good luck getting to your goal.

I'm with you on bones beginning to show. When I've slimmed down in the past I've always been happy when my collar bone started to show.

I've heard lots of people say that MFP underestimates protein especially if you are working out/weight lifting. I recently had an assessment at my gym and the trainer said I should go for at least 100g of protein a day. I've also read articles that say go for at least 1g of protein per pound of lean body mass. All that…

Are you eating back any of your exercise calories. Most folks on here say you should eat some, if not all of your exercise calories to maintain enough net calories to meet your body's daily needs.

I'm very new to this but I believe your BMR is how much fuel your body utilizes on a daily basis just to perform it's typical functions. So your goal is set to give you a deficit so you can lose weight and is based on how much you want to lose. They are estimating that a 148 calorie deficit daily will get you to lose your…

I just came across almonds packaged in single servings from a brand called Emerald. Each box has seven single serve packages that are 100 calories each. They come in natural, dry roasted, almond and walnut and my favorite Cocoa roast. The cocoa roast option is great because it's dark chocolate, but not bitter and it gives…
