1200 in exercise and still only eat 1500 calories per day? That sounds dangerous. Have you shared that with your personnel trainer? I don't believe you'll be able to sustain that for very long and have the energy to keep going. Remember you are making life long changes. Edit - I see you have a nutritionist - good. Also…

You sound really determined. I am a female, 5'6" and started at 219. It's been just less than 5 months but I have lost 24 lbs eating 1500 calories a day and eating back any burned calories. Are you eating back the calories you burn during your work outs? Keep pressing forward but be patient with yourself. You'll do it;…

I have logged in every day since Jan 7. I started at 219 and I'm at 195. I eat around 1500 calories a day but almost no exercise. I'm not a big motivator, just doing my own thing so I may or may not respond to daily postings but I'm on here throughout the day. I went to a movie today; I only go a couple of times a year. I…

Yeah what they said; eat the extra calories and good luck

Yes log everything.

AMEN! (I was 219 and now 196)

I TOO WAS CONCERNED ABOUT YOU STATING THAT YOU WERE CONSTANTLY THIRSTY. Being constantly thirsty is a big sign of diabetes, you might want to get your glucose and A1C tested (I'm in the medical field, FYI). [/quote]

I try my best to stay on track on a daily basis but I have been a little low 2-3x this week and today I rewarded myself with a mexican lunch. I haven't had mexican since I started this in early January. So even though I will go over today no reason to freak b/c it'll all even out over the period of a week.

I too had real problems with the initial post. Reduce processed foods, don't use frozen foods as a substitute for a real meal and do eat more than 3x per day.

I love how the world shrinks when you connect on the internet.

This response would assume you are would assume you are working out but yes you can reach a plateau whether you are working out or not. 9 lbs in a little over a month sounds fabulous. Be patient. You didn't put it on that quickly; it won't come off that quickly either.

Hi I started here in January with people I met on-line as we planned for Oct/Nov Disney trips. Many have dropped off MFP though we still communicate via facebook. I started Jan 7 at 219 lbs and I have lost 23 lbs by following MFP recommendations and no exercise. My initial goal is 175 lbs. Feel free to friend me and good…

LMAO... I know my husband thinks a thigh gap is sexy as hell. Maybe one day I'll have one ;)

My mom and dad will diet together and he always loses faster than here. My husband will lose faster than me too. It's just body chemistry but so discouraging. Hang tough.

Hi from Virginia, USA. I've been on here since 1/7/13. I started at 219 lbs and I'm at 197 today. I love logging my food and am doing very little to no exercising at this time and still losing weight so it can be done. Good luck!

I am now weighing 197 lbs and wearing a size 14 pants at Dress Barn (not jeans...no always larger in jeans).

I turned 43 on 1/5 and began mfp on 1/7. I began at 219 lbs. My daily calorie goal is 1500. I am not exercising. I have lost 22 lbs thus far. My goal is 175 and then I will reevaluate.

We love geocaching. My dad is in his mid-60s and that's how I get him out with the grandkids. We are going to an Exploring the Outdoors event sponsored by PBS tomorrow and our local geocaching association will be there. I am updating my Geomate Jr's as I type.

Hi back. I've been on here for 3-1/2 months and it's made a big difference. I can now make knowledgeable decisions about what food I consume. Good luck!

You should not have a regular walking routine. You could be observed and not in a good way. If I were walking I would change the times, days, direction etc every day. Also if you are concerned don't worry about calling the non-emergency police number. You may not be the only one reporting suspicious behavior. Stay safe.

Exactly my thoughts. Too much processed foods; although low in calories not the best choices. I am looking at arm toning exercise I can do while sitting down. Perhaps looks at some of those options too. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

You look great and while I weigh a lot more than you I have lost 20 lbs in 3 months so you are really inspiring me. Also congrats on being a new mommy. That does a lot of your body and you've bounced back in no time.

Oh my goodness; I'm in love - great quote :love:

I eat dessert every day but plan it in advance and watch the actual serving size. Tonight I had strawberries with a dessert shell (cake).

I was stuck during the month of March and now have lost a few pounds during the first week of April. I guess sometimes it just happens that way.
-
I was the same place you are 3 months ago and just lost 20 lbs and below 200 for the first time in years. You can do it too. Good luck!
-
HA! My 9 yr old was eating a store bought roll yesterday and said he was missing them from Golden Corral.
-
You didn't lose anymore weight but you were gaining muscle and becoming more toned. You look great. I started 95 days ago at 219 and have been stuck at 204 all March. I hit 201 today and will begin some light weight training. You're an inspiration.
