  • Ok, this is great!! I read it a couple of days ago and then just reread it after the lastest rounds of low cal bashing on the general boards. I tried eating at 20% below TDEE for 3-4 months. I lost no weight, and nothing in terms of measurments either. The problem I had (I think) was that I ate my calories perfectly all…

  • Well, I don't support these thoughts, but I want to try to save your from having to reading through all the awful threads bashing 1200 calories. The "Eat More" group that tends to be the ones that are the harshest critics of the 1200 cal diets tend to think that if you eat below BMR then your metabolism will slow down so…

  • My biggest challenge is after dinner cravings. My family moved in with my mom for a few months while we were renovating our house and she has a major sweet tooth/chocolate addiction so I got in the habit of having dessert and chocolate treats every night after dinner. Grrr.... we moved back into our house on Jan 1 but I…

  • I've had pretty good success at 1200-1300 and then failed at TDEE -20%. I lost 25 pounds about a year ago eating at 1200-1300 and exercising very little. And I only gained back 4 pounds over 8 months once I stopped tracking (and that was all during a 2 week vacation where I went nuts!) When I decided to go back to losing I…

  • Hi everyone! I'm excited to find this group. I started losing weight a little over a year ago eating around 1200-1300 calories and doing light exercise (usually just walking) 4-5 times a week for about 45 minutes on my lunch hour. I had really great success at first, I lost 25 pounds in about 3 months. I wasn't hungry or…

  • Haha, I totally know what you are talking about!! My family takes a vacation to the same beach club every year and they have these ridiculously tiny freebie beach towels at the pool. One of my NS goals is to have that towel fit around me this July! Congrats!!!

  • Ugh. I tortured myself for about 3 days with Stevia in my coffee. I had hoped to learn to ignore the taste and I didn't want to waste money on the box I bought, but I just couldn't do it. So it's in the back of my pantry gathering dust. I actually switched to unsweetened coffee for a couple of weeks b/c even though I don't…

  • Hi! I've been tracking on MFP for a few weeks but I've just decided to start getting involved in the groups/community, so as of right now I have 0 friends. So please add me! I work full-time, have a 3 year old, and am almost finished with my MBA (one more class this semester!!!). My huband and I have decided to try for…

  • I'm so excited I found this thread and it just started! Yay! I am planning on starting Ripped in 30 tonight. I am finishing up my MBA in May and my husband and I have decided to TTC baby #2 once I have finished. I would like to lose about 30 lbs before this to get into a healthy weight range. That gives me about 17 weeks…
