IT takes time and it will come off. Just hang in there and stay positive and focused on your goals. The first 5 to 10 lbs are usually water and then its all about eating and exercises. Keep your head up and hang in there.

Hello Megan, Just stay positive and dedicated to your goals. Everything will workout and always keep your head high.

My BMI has never been accurate even in the military. I was always measured and had calipers taken to my body for a while before we finally set a standard for me. The BMI is a standard set but hasn't changed for years. Even now I am at 25% BF (Acceptable) and weigh 249.5 lbs. The BMI calculator shows I should be 185 lbs…

Yes it seems like research is needing to be done for starvation mode. Starvation mode has been researched as far back as 1907- VAN NOORDEN. The only reason I post to forms is due to lacking information given to people that really need to see a doctor first and see what their bodies are telling them. I am not a medical…

It can be done for sure and in a healthy way. I started out changing my eating habits and exercising three days a week for 7 months after December 2013. I weighed in at 305 on the 28th of December and I am now as of today 247.6 lbs. That is a 57.4 lb loss in 10 months. I am shooting for 230 to 220 by Christmas which is…

It ranges between 2200 and 3000 for me. Depending on what I eat that is healthy and my exercise behind it.

Since December 2013 I have lost 55 lbs so far. Still not complete as of yet but hoping to be at 220 and around 14% BF by this December. I started off by just changing my eating habits and lost between January 2014 to July 2013 roughly 30 LBS. IN the past nine weeks I have been doing a program that incorporates weights and…

I am in. Just add me if you like... LOL I am truthful and I will motivate at the same time. Sounds like a resume huh.. Keep doing a great job..

Must be Mexican food. On the border delivers.

IT may not be the eat more as in portions but in frequency. To the OP I am 43 6 ft and weighing 250 lbs. I use a fist method when I prepare my meals. (Just an example:: http://www.hearthealthyonline.com/fitness/weight-loss/hand-guide-portion-control_ss1.html) I have a TDEE of 2936 and a BMR of 2039. I stay between 2100 and…

This ^^^^^^ I do the same.

Chris, Google is your friend to some point depending on how detailed you want to get. To start off, be general and go from there and your research will lead you to answers you might want to know about. Here are a few sites to help keep you on track for the moment and make sure when you log the label matches whats in MFP.…

I weigh in every morning like most on this post. The reason I do it is to keep track of the trend that my body is doing either by the things I eat (Same foods and meals for 9 weeks so far), workouts or clothes. It is about statistics for me where I use my measurements from 9 areas and body calipers for BF% to determine the…

Well I guess you took it as throwing a tantrum. That is what people think sometimes but its a reflected objective discussion where the question was not relatively precise (New Form New Question). Since we are taking about fresh veggies and canned ones OR processed and unprocessed lets say this. The question as stated is…

Sorry you don't get it. But I do have a doctor in Computer science and research is the synapses of research papers. So you skimmed through something without having the knowledge or the willing to open up to something that could prove or disprove a hypothesis. Research is like eating healthy and unhealthy you can make bad…

Take it for what its worth. I can find you some more if you like these are the preliminaries of coming studies in the work at Harvard and John Hopkins http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=eKGvGksKdloC&oi=fnd&pg=PT1&dq=Clean+Eating+vs+BAd+eating&ots=2jqsjP8F_x&sig=BQO5bB_PFPtGdpcruDtDaB-jTF4#v=onepage&q&f=false…

Yes I agree that it is misleading at times for people. Also I ahve done some other research and hopefully some of these people can see this. ANCEL KEYS STUDY http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/0816651612/104-0776638-0750307?SubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02 A link to discuss the study in general terms…

Your welcome. I just hate some of these threads where facts on clean eating or calories in and calories out is something of a fad which its not, it is the way we should be looking at weight loss and health as one cycle for our bodies. I like what one poster put as to the loss may be there but the wiring will be flawed (Or…

Well here is another link you can sort through that will be educational in the edeavors and knowledge to give the right adives. Which I would recommend you not give. First be informative before you say something about clean eating. The term Clean eating is going back to the way you should eat since we all eat like crap at…

Personally I will agree with some and some I do not. I do however believe in the research of health and fitness. I would first suggest you go talk to your doctor and see what and where you want to be. If one lifestyle is better than the other. These are all personal views that we all have for ourselves. Mine on the other…

YoPeeps, It sounds like you are not in good form all the way around by what I have read. I am just now getting back into lifting and squating after years out of the military. Before you speak please be right so people who want to do it correctly do not get the wrong picture of how to do things correctly. Here is the form…

Bro let me say this, I know some of the things you went through and experiencing. I will not go into this here cause this is not a forum for me to spill it but I will help you out in this journey. 1) change your profile that reflects accurate information that will help motivate you every time you read it. BE POSITIVE 2)…

Feed your body and track your intake to get a good determination on how to adjust..

I dont know what your count should be but most calculators are about the same and calculate the same based on the numbers you enter. Take a look at this and see if this helps (http://authoritynutrition.com/how-many-calories-per-day/) where protein is your friend for your cravings and the more you eat you can reduce them.…

I think a couple of us did. Thought to read some interesting posts.. LOL :-)

You know nothing about this cause a doctor will not prescribe this to a person. I have a friend that had this surgery and in no way did hos doctor tell him something like this. Here is the stats from WEb MD become informed. Gender Age (years) Sedentaryb Moderately Activec Actived Child 2-3 1,000 1,000-1,400 1,000-1,400…

Yes like most are saying here, you are eating way to less than you should. Become informed and not entertained through fads and bad eating habits. Start researching calories and how it affects the body. Start Here: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/dos-donts-counting-calories Use any calorie counter out there that you see…
