Whoa, your calories are really low. I'm a 5'2 woman and I'm losing on 1400 plus exercise calories. You're a guy and automatically need more calories. You're getting the shakes because you need to eat more. More specific stats would be helpful in estimating you're specific caloric needs. You also need more fat and carbs in…

I have what I want every day, I just make them fit into my diet. I LOVE "bad for you" foods (pizza, burgers, ice cream, cheese, meat, etc .). But I'm still eating them and I have lost 25 pounds since February. You just have to learn about the serving size and making it fit into your budget. I've also learned how to enjoy…

CW: 133.4 Woo, down almost another half pound!

It'll be a normal day for me, Thanksgiving food just isn't that appealing to me. But I am going to save some calories and splurge a bit on one of my four Christmases this year. But if you're worried about going over just try to exercise the days leading up to it so that you've built yourself a nice deficit and you'll still…

You need to do some strength training. It'll get rid of that fat and replace with muscle and give you a much nicer physique.

The holidays to me will be four different Christmases. They will be Christmas Eve which usually consists of steak for dinner and then cake for dessert, and then Christmas Day where we will have a nice breakfast and then little snacks throughout the day. We will also host two different Christmases for my dad's side of the…

Nope, that's not reasonable. I'm your height and I started out 10 pounds heavier than you. I started out at a pound a week and then when my calories got close to 1300 I bumped it up to .5 pounds per week. I'm currently around 133-134 and i'm aiming for 120-125, so right now I'm in the slow and steady phase. It's taken me…

Whoops, it's been a busy few days and forgot to check in on Monday. CW: 133.8 Woo! Once again I thought I wasn't go to lose anything and then come Monday morning it all falls off, and now I only have 3 more pounds until my 8 lb goal!

Thanks, I like the idea of an accountability partner. I tried that with my sister for a bit this summer but we can get at each other a bit (oh sisterly love) but I would like to try that again and make it work for most of my 6 weeks back. Maybe that can be the little kick start that we all need.
-
Thank you. We've tried many times before as a family to get healthier by a certain time (weddings, vacations, etc) and we would make it about halfway and then we just stopped. They really do try at times, but then things happen and they just get too busy. My parents like walking around our neighborhood (2 miles and lots of…

I should've clarified that. My sister was at a healthy weight and then continued to eat normally even though she just sat around all day. And I can almost guarantee that my dad's recent knee pain is from his weight, and if he loses it then the pain will probably go away.

I love boy names (they're so much easier than girl names). I like more classical/biblical names, and I also like a few family names. I'm really going to have a problem deciding when I have kids.

It's probably time you change your weight loss goal to .5 pound a week. When my daily limit got below 1400 I changed my goal to a smaller amount. This will allow you to eat 1400-1500 calories while still losing weight. You can fit most of the foods that you would want to eat in a day without going over if you portion and…

Keep on losing at least .5 lbs a week. Go to the gym at least 2 time a week and burn off minimum 500 calories each time Go clothes shopping for some smaller clothes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a wedding

I had over 900 calories today after I came home from the gym and showered at 7:45. On Fridays when I have my long workouts from 6-8 I regularly eat huge amounts of food at 9 or 10 at night. It doesn't matter when you eat, just as long as it fits into your daily calories.
-
Just go but don't eat that much. I love spending time with my family but I don't care for Thanksgiving food at all (yes I'm very weird like that). So I get to spend time with my family without feeling stuffed. You can't use the avoidance strategy for your whole life, you have to learn to either have a "bad" day and move on…

Have you ever had issues with milk before? If not keep on drinking it and fit it into your daily calories. In the mornings when I have school I'm lazy and not very hungry, so I have one scoop of slim fast powder with 240 mLs of milk, it's a nice way to get protein and calcium into my day. Now for your questions: 1. As much…

Why have I been using my spleen, liver, and kidneys all these years when i could just cleanse my body with juice instead?

CW: 134.4 Woo, I was really surprised to see that number this morning. I had my first weekend of not-so-well eating, where I was still under (just barley) if my guesses were correct. Hopefully next week I'll see 133!

I'm 5'2 with a large frame, right now I'm ~135 right now and I would like to be 120-125.

You need to talk to Ed Davenport http://www.myfitnesspal.com/eddavenport He started at 560 lbs and has made an incredible transformation. He's lost over 300 lbs. If there's anyone who can help you with your journey it's him.

CW: 134.8 Wow, that's a big loss for me this week, I wasn't expecting that much but I'll take it!

Steak makes you gain weight? How big are your cuts, what sides are you having with it, and what are you putting on it? Get a reasonable size steak and limit the sides, then you can have it as often as you want and still lose weight. When I went home during the summer I had steak every other week and still lost weight, it's…

1. Eat more 2. Drink more 3. Go see a doctor if this continues.

I would like to look at the forums on my phone. I also want an easier way to build recipes. It's a bit tedious to create a recipe on here, so I keep my Lose It app just for building recipes.

I'm lucky because I only have to worry about a few different Christmases. I am weird and don't care for Thanksgiving food at all, so I'll probably be the only person who actually has to worry to eat more on Thanksgiving. I have a big extended family so I will be celebrate Christmas on 4 different days- Christmas Even,…

If it fits into my daily calories and I want then I'm going to have it, plain and simple.

You need to listen to your body and see how is reacts when you have a low, medium, or high sodium day. I have been told by a cardiologist that I need more salt in my diet because my blood pressure is a bit lower than normal and I can be prone to feeling faint. So if I've had a few low sodium days and don't feel good, I…

It's entirely up to you. I love working out at night, around 6:30 or 7, I will have a decent lunch around 12:30 and then a little snack around 4-5. After I work out I have my protein shake and main meal for the day, but I'm a night owl so it works better for me to eat late. I also do not working out on a full stomach. Why…
