Definately this

MFP gave me 1540 to maintain but I have been eating around 1700 to 1800 for 6 months now and have maintained with no change in weight...I'm wondering how far I can push it lol

Me too

I lost my weight eating around 1300 - 1400 cals I did not deprive myself of anything...chocolate etc As long as it was in my calorie allowance I ate as I wanted. I have now been maintaining my weight for 6 months on the same rules Good luck to you and don'tdeprive yourself

Hi if you follow the advice from the above poster you won't go wrong, I am 59 have lost 17 kg and have never felt better and I have never deprived myself from food I love. Good luck to you you WILL succeed.

I'm out there is no cauliflower in this thread:sad: :sad:

Well done girl what a great achievment, I pick one motivational story each day to read and you were it for today lol, you're looking amazing!

This This & definately This

No I don't care about other peoples diet or weight if they are happy with themselves, although I don't believe they really are. I do care about MY diet and weight because I feel absoloutely AMAZING and love my life now!!!! And in the words of "forrest gump" ......that's all I have to say about that.............

LOL guess I could have worded that a bit better!

Also check out the recipe section here you will get some great ideas.

Hi there, you will get some good avice here from people more qualified than me, however I can tell you I haven't given up anything at all to lose my weight, I just make sure I stay within my calorie allowance and the rest takes care of itself. I certainly don't eat raw vegies other than a salad and still enjoy potato,…

My tongue is stuck to the screen!!!

And next week it will be something else that's supposed to be " bad" for us. a while back it was eggs then cheese the list goes on. Everything in moderation is a good thing!

You look fantastic!!!....well done girl

Tonight I filled the wonton cups with stewed apples and topped with a dollop of reduced fat cream.....apple pies! for 70 cals

I wash all my food begore eating it........voila! .....Clean food

I was never a soda drinker, but to be honest I haven't given up anything...just the amounts I was eating of all those things. I still have everything I love but in moderation.????

I totally agree with the OP , I have also lost my weight purely by watching my calories...I have not changed my diet at all except for the amount I eat...I still have my chocolate, cake and cookies whatever I want! For me it's all about calories in and calories out.. I refuse to spend my life eating mushed up cauliflower…
