Pass but you're pretty

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I just recently have decided that I really want to weight train and lift. I have saggy belly skin and a little under my arms, cardio can only do so much.

Thanks for the replies. I have not measured in a very long time. Will do that tonight :)

Never mind the bmr calculator said 1377 Tdee 1988 Thanks!

So, I should eat more or less calories now that I need to lose the last ten?

I meant that when I track them it is always around 1200. I eat the same things, mostly organic foods. I have been 140-141 for couple months. I don't know about macros and how much you need to eat if you exercise certain amount of time.

From an online source is says: (I did put it as sedentary, although I do things as a stay at home mom, I don't get sweaty from any of the activities that I do) lol Your BMR is: 1570 CALORIES/DAY Your TDEE is: 1883 O.O I definitely don't want to intake 1570 a day, is eating 1300 a day going to make me gain weight?

Thanks all for the input. It is greatly appreciated. I have it set to 2lbs per week. I know plateaus are normal, I'm by no means going to quit. I love the way I feel without eating processed foods :) Even if I don't lose any weight any time soon, it at least has kept down my blood pressure.

I eat about 1200 a day or 1250. I don't skip meals though.

I'm not obsessing over the scale as I do feel much better with the way I am eating now. I just wanted to know if I could lose more than the first initial lbs without exercising. I have a 2 year old so, I don't sit around all day, but I haven't been to the gym yet. I do know that me being a smaller size will help with my…

So, you were eating too many or too little calories?

hair!

shake hands

8? Kind of hard to see your face lol

shop? lol

I have tried WW, diets, everything but I didn't lose weight because I didn't change my lifestyle. MFP has been the number one thing to motivate and keep me losing weight. :)

I have not had any, and I'm pretty happy about how most people keep it simply about losing weight or meeting goals :)

Yea, I know that it is only if you ate that amount. I never go over my calorie intake, so I was just wondering if it was a good estimate.

I eat a lot of scrambled eggs - plain with no salt or cheese added. It's really not that much compared to other things you can make for breakfast. It is high in cholesterol, however.

I guess I worded that wrong. Thats true, I don't have to eat it lol but I think there may be some types I would like now that it has been 15 years later since I tried it.

Thanks Rose & FourIsCompany!

Thanks everyone for your input, it's highly appreciated.. I've had migraines since I was 12, before I had high blood pressure. I am not on medication for either. My doctor said she wants me to lose some weight before she thinks about medication for high BP because it wasn't too high. She didn't have any good advice but to…

:) I changed it to 1400

Thanks so much! I kind of thought starting off that 1200 was too little. It would be a too drastic of a change from what I had been eating. I put it at 1450 until I start exercising more. I think at 1600-1700 I would be very tempted to eat bigger portions than I should.

I changed it to 1400, although later I may change it back to 1200. Even though I am eating clean, the fruits and vegetables add up!
