you only have 16 pounds to lose til goal. so at the most your body would lose .5 a pound a week. the closer to goal the lower the weight loss per week on perfect weeks. since you are going to the gym, break out the tape measure and use that to determine how you are doing and not just the scale. incorporate weights into…

i wouldn't bank on that... my husband is 43 and still can eat like this. its not fair but it is what it is i have five kids and a hubby who like to eat stuff i can't but i do the cooking and shopping so they eat what i make. many nights it is something we all can have, or sometimes it is tacos for them and taco salad for…

You have to work on resetting your metabolism. Eat at or above your BMR filling your body with nutritious foods. No fast food, no junk foods. Protein, whole carbs, fruits and veggies and eat that way for a long enough time for your body to know it is ok and it is not starving. Then NEVER drop down calories that low again.…

wonderful job! you look amazing

great job! yeah for putting your health first!

2001 Ford Expedition with 173,800 miles on it.

my suggestion would be to try a middle road. i agree 1200 is not enough, but 1600 may just be a tad to much? so try 1400? head over to http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/ and run some of the numbers, figure out your goal etc. how much are you looking to lose or what are your goals? fat loss? etc

honestly you are doing great. ONLY 3 inches? that is actually alot. The first few weeks of any exercise and diet program you will see big losses due to excess water weight and the change up in routine. Then typically you stay pretty level for awhile, but if you stick with it you will start to see losses again. IT is the…

i work retail and i work anywhere from 4-8 hours on my feet walking. on days i work i can do up to 3.5 miles and there is some lifting, but not enough. i set my activity to lightly active and only eat back some of my exercise calories on days i can get exercise in.

zucchini is my absolute favorite. i like it grilled on the bbq with some olive oil, salt, garlic, pepper. or sauteed in olive oil with onions, mushrooms and garlic. roasted broccoi is super yummy grilled or roasted asparagus in the summer big old chopped salads with several types of lettuce, bell peppers, green onions, and…

good job

i avoid artificial sweetners too, but i was never able to find something that works. i drink two cups of coffee every day with sugar free french vanilla or vanilla caramel creamer from coffee-mate and it has 15 calories a tablespoon. i use 6 tablespoons for a total of 90 calories. it has the artificial sweetners but after…

amazing work

interesting way to spam

yesterday was a rest day and i ate 1578 calories. my goal is 1650 a day. i can do 1200 a day, but i prefer not to. and my 1500 calorie day is full of veggies, protein and good fats.

amazing!

great job!! you look awesome!

Thank you so much for sharing! That is an awesome job, what an inspiration!

I looked at your diary, good job at sticking at calories. I agree with others that you may not be burning what MFP is saying and thus are actually eating a little over, so try not to eat so much of the calories back. Also try to get more fresh fruit and veggies. It appears you eat quite a bit of packaged food. It is high…

As someone who has lost a significant amount of weight in the last 2 years I get this all the time. Luckily I have thick skin and don't let it get to me. I usually reply, "last I checked I am an adult and I can eat whatever I like". Then they realize how ridiculous they are being. Sometimes I am in the break room with rice…

i eat mcdonalds on non-cheat days when i am crunched for time or i need to go grocery shopping. although i choose the chicken sandwich or salad. calorie wise they are not that bad and there is enough protein to keep me full. this is a way of eating, not a temporary diet, you need to learn how to fit things in a healthy way…

yep, about 15-20 more to go so a total of 125-130 lbs lost when i get to goal weight. i have some pics in my profile, and have been meaning to take more, cuz the last 145 lbs have changed things alot.

i don't know about your particular situation. but after 110 lbs loss i don't have alot of extra skin on my upper body and just a little bit on my thighs and lower belly and i am much older then you. i did strength training, cardio, and lots of water from almost the beginning. i took it slow and i tried to eat fairly…

its going to come down to your diet. you have already gotten some good info. i would start there.

5'7" and sitting at 155 and a size 8/10 trying to get to a 6/8 so not sure if that is 145 or not. i carry all my weight on the bottom half so i am afraid i may have to go lower then that to get my BF % down low enough

im in. i am struggling to get those last 20. i think 1600-1800 is eat more, i am like you, if i go higher then that, i just gain.

throughout my journey i have done many different methodologies. you have to find what works for you. but i do know for me that when my calories are low then my hair starts falling out and my skin looks like crud. instead of focusing on being "skinny" or "thin" i focus on being "fit"

awesome! i can't wait to post my final goal pics. i am not sure what that is just yet, but will know when i get there. i think it is somewhere around 15-20 lbs. you are a true inspiration

what about little trinkets or something? there is still time to order something from oriental trading. they have tons of cute little giveaways that are affordable
