Take one more in ? I'm kind of desperate

Mmeee toooo please! I need to lose at least 20 !

Two days off for me.... Although I usually end up undoing all the good work from Mon to Fri. I can't help it, I'm human and food is a pleasure of life. For me it's necessary or I completely fall off the wagon when I fall.....

Well, I believe the benefits that come from fruits ( fibre, vitamins, minerals ) outweighs the evil of sugar... There are no health benefits from eating cake , other than maybe a temporary emotional comfort, so it's probably best to avoid.... And I am no doctor, but from my personal experience, processed sugar ( as opposed…

It doesn't matter where the cal come from, if the total count is under. But surely it's healthier to avoid junk. I used to eat clean 5 days a week, and save my junk for weekends.... The cheat days were Sat. Or Sun. Or both.... On Monday I would weight 5 lbs extra, but by Wed. all was gone.

Over in protein is good. Over in sugar, only it it comes from fruit, is ok too.... From candy, pastry etc, not. I can't do 1200 either. It's impossible. Just the milk in my coffee in the morning is 260, and I need my coffee and don't like it black either. Then there are practically 1000 Cal left to eat, which is impossible…

Unfortunately, never! Actually, not true.... around midnight, just before brushing teeth and going to sleep....

I started vaping 2 weeks ago.... cut down my clove cigarettes for 2 weeks... mind you I was smoking a pack a day. Today is my 3rd day without any real smokes. My nicotine in the liquid ranges between 12ml to 8 mg, most of them. I was a chain smoker, now I am a chain vaper. I am eating too much too, constant hunger..... and…

Spring is here , my dear lovely supportive friends. I just wanted to thank all of you one more time .... Luckily sunshine outside brought some some shine in my head too ... Back to normal , down to 126 lbs already and back in gym full force ! Thank you !

Year and years ago I had a Mirena. It was a horrible experience, from weight gain to depression and all possible side effects. I remember crying ( for spending so much money on it ) and then begging to get it out of me while the doctor tried to convince me I should keep it. I got it removed and got a normal Nova-T copper…

40 in May,,, scared and not exactly looking forward to it . Add me if you like but I am not an active friend, no time... I just log my food,,,good luck to you!

Toronto Canada.... right now - 24C, with windchill -39C. I hate it I hate it I hate it. I trink I need to relocate soon.

Are you serious? I would starve on 1300 cals a day, because I weight more or less 130 lbs. I am eating about 2000-2500 a day and I am maintaining . And that is normal but relatively clean ( with exceptions ) , eating.

Agreed! I ear roughly 2000-2500 cals every day. Sometimes more. And I've maintain for about 8 months. ok. Gained maybe 2-4 lbs at my heaviest But it varies. I don't have an active job. I try to move around. Go to gym about 2-3 times a week. Sometimes less, sometimes more.. Big difference from going to gym 5 times a week (…

It's Christmas! Don't be crazy. 1000 cals is nothing. Even of it's for 3 days. I'm sorry I don't think I can look up at anyone willing to ruin the joy of Christmas for the sake of a diet. Unless you are morbidly obese and it's a matter of life and death. But you aren't. I will repeat what I said elsewhere.... Merry…

Merry Christmas! If I don't reach 5000 cals a day for between Christmas and New Years it means I didn't enjoy enough goodies >>>>>::smile: Enjoy and be happy. One week will not ruin one year of hard work. no more diet. Calories counted just for fun. no guilt. No gym. Have fun and be happy. There are sins out there worse…

You look great ! Good job !

Thank you all! By now it's almost Christmas and I managed to maintain between 128-131 lbs. I am eating tons , roughly 2000-2500 cals a day, no diet. Still being active although my gym has gone down to 3-4 times a week max, no time. My learning lesson : park far away from any store, walk , and put away the guilt. And on my…

Would you rather have fat legs and a big butt? Because I have been fighting with that all my life. I have a small waist but big hips and butt..... and almost no boobs..... all my teenage years I was jealous on people with your body type... and all my 20s too... and only after I passed 35 I learned to accept myself..... so…

I did. See my avatar. First pic 151lbs. Second pic `129 lbs. Started in Jan. 2013..... by April I was in maintenance. I have been maintaining since then... plus/minus 4 lbs. up and down..... I did exercise regularly and ate clean, with Sat. and Sun. as "cheating" day and ate whatever I wanted.

Fabulous, congratulations!

Great pics but I especially love your story!

Oh, I find veins so sexy! especially on a man. I think they have to do with genetics mostly, plus low body fat and weight training. Even me I get a little vein or two or three , mostly on my forearms , and even lower abs, when I work out hard. And I am so proud of them! But then, I've seen photos of Angelina Jolie's very…

Well, I bet to differ... after getting a Polar RS300x, and setting it up to my stats and all, I was really surprised to see that MFP estimation for exercises was very close to accurate. Almost no difference in calories burned ( according to Polar ) and what FP gave me ( for example for 60 min strength training , or for 60…

Well, according to me, you are "done". :) Done losing weight, done getting younger, and done a good job! Congrats! now maintain! awesome result.

Thank you for all your replies. To sum it up... I don't wear either of them in the shower, so I don't know. The fitbit I set up not to do calorie estimate. The polar I believe I set up correctly.... ( weight, heights, age, sex + the done the so called lie down fitness test) But I only watch it myself, I don't sync it to…

Thank you for your answers . After countless emails with costumer service I mailed it back, at my expense . Too many firmware issues about which the developers can't seem to be able to fix. I am waiting for them to receive it and refund my money. So disappointed !

First of all, thank you for all your replies.... Secondly, I upped my calories... just so I feel less guilty. Not to 2000, because I am afraid then I would go over and eat 2700....Truth is, I don't know anyone maintaining at 2200+ calories.... and I was eating big before too, but I was able to go to gym 5 times a week…

Beautiful transformation!

Amazing! Good for you, never let go again!
