200 pounds down?!? a surprise??? :noway: that sounds more like hard work and dedication to me! Great Job & Congrats!! :drinker:

I did not take her body fat into account, and that may be why the numbers are so high. I was thinking they were high as I typed them, but I put all the info in that she put out there (aside from BF%)

Based on http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ your BMR is about 1700 (a number you should not NET below) and a TDEE of 2930 to maintain your weight, this includes your exercise. If you were to take a deficit of 15% - 20% you need to be eating between 2340 - 2490 calories a day as long as you do not have any other…

:noway: similar body type?!? how did you even type this? you amaze me :flowerforyou:

Clearly haven't been a part of this group for long enough. Totes thought the both of you were married (to one another) :laugh: I blame your cute matching profile pictures.

I think you should be eating more food. MUCH MORE FOOD! stay consistent too. assuming you are a female, your BMR is around 1370 (a number you should not eat below) and your TDEE to maintain weight is 2121. At your height & weight, my opinion is that you don't need to lose anymore, but that's not my decision to make for…

She must be Canadian and she just had her 28th birthday! duh! :laugh:

I feel like you are putting an unrealistic time frame on your plan. How do you know for sure that at the end of the 4 months you'll be at the point of maintenance? I'm pretty small in general, but it took me A YEAR to lose these 30 lbs, and I'm still not at my "ideal" goal weight. It takes time and patience. It's very…

I'm with all the people saying to do it! My first race was a 10k, prior to that I had only ever run 4.5 miles in one shot. My second race was a Half Marathon with the longest distance I had ever run being my 10k. If you are a decent runner, it shouldn't be a problem. On the other hand, if it takes you 5 hours to run that 5…

yup! :flowerforyou:

My boyfriend has cautioned me the same with protein shakes when I started lifting, but I have not noticed any weight gain. I may not be 100% correct here, so someone correct me if I am wrong... I think protein shakes (or maybe it's only protein shakes that contain creatine) can show a psuedo weight gain because they cause…

:noway: this is the first I've heard this. would you mind providing us with some educational references to provide evidence that supports these statements?

I don't know why, but from your profile picture, I cannot possibly imagine you verbally saying this. Your word choices don't match your face. :laugh:

in. to see what kind of responses this guy gets. my motto is, don't eat pizza.... without a beer to drink it down! :drinker:

Sunglasses? so people don't see you staring at their goods?

Here are a couple of popular linked sites to check out from a couple pros.. start by reading this post : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1235566-so-you-re-new-here?hl=so+you%2527re+new+here and follow up with the link within that post :…

You shouldn't try to rush weight loss. Instead of putting a timeline on when you "need" to lose this weight, just do the best you can and realize that anything you do in this time to make you a healthier person will be a success. Eat at a slight deficit, aim for max of 2 lb loss per week, exercise moderately with a mix of…

hmmm interesting post the OP just made on another forum... OP, if you think it's due to your nutrition, then you have experienced some of the bad stuff you asked about in your original post. just saying.

I had a coworker talk me into this one. I only got as far as buying the book used off of amazon. When I read it, it told me the only meat I could eat was cornish hen... :noway: At the time I didn't know where to find that... without raising some cornish hen, lol

I, personally, like this thread/explanation... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1234699-logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide

Why bother weighing something if you aren't going to pick an entry that lets you track the weight of it... You don't "know" how many calories are in one almond, as each almond weighs differently than the next (sure, only within a certain margin.. that you claim to account for) but if they are consistently heavier than your…

I am not trying to sound snarky at all, but I feel it might come off that way... I am curious, how do you measure everything, but eyeball your protein? Do you mean you guesstimate the amount of meat? Anyway, you should be WEIGHING everything on a food scale to be as accurate as possible! Here are a couple of popular linked…

Well I got back from vacation late last night, so I will not be weighing my self today (for the next week actually) I know it'll be up due to water weight from not eating so stellar over vacation. I'll be sure to post back then to let you know how I faired, though I'm not expecting much of a change. Thank you to Shmru and…

in to look at later. stupid blocked sites.

If you eat back exercise calories, then leave it alone. Log it in as exercise when you do it and eat accordingly to NET whatever you need to.

I went shopping yesterday for the first time in many months & I'm not sure if the store I was shopping in carries vanity sizes or not. Anyways, I was looking around and found a couple tops I liked, I went for the medium in one, and the other had small as their largest size, so i figured why not, I'll try it to see how it…

I've got one for you "I've been eating out so much, I'm starting to get a vitamin D deficiency... can anyone help me!?!?" :laugh:
