Vegetarian here! Flirting with veganism.... Looking for supportive veggie friends! Please add me!

I'm in desperate need of supportive friends, everyone please add me too!

This is your body telling you something! EAT MORE! No one can survive long term on that little of calories. Feed your body, please! http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/

Dear Lord EAT MORE! 1200 calories a day is below your BMR so your body is basically holding on to everything it can because it thinks you're starving it to death!! I know when I tried 1200 I actually GAINED weight! Now I eat between 1700 and 1900 a day and the weight is steadily coming off.…

On the page I sent you it will tell you your BMR, then scroll down and see how many calories you should be eating according to how much you exercise per week.... it will be a lot more! Eating below your BMI is detrimental to your health.

Eat more! I cannot say that enough. I was 144 when I started MFP, ate the recommended 1200-1300 calories a day and felt like garbage. I lost a few pounds here and there, but I didn't feel right. I even started gaining weight from what I'm guessing was my body going into starvation mode. Then I discovered this site…

Check out this site: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ It gives you a better idea of how many calories YOU need to eat. The MFP calculator sets most people at 1200 which is rediculous. Everytime I tried eating the 1200 (even eating BACK my exercise calories) I was grumpy and starving.... not to mention I gained 2-4…

Love this! And I agree with every last bit of it! Thanks for the inspiration today!

Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna try these!

Wonderful! Congratulations! Be proud of yourself, you're doing awesome!

I'm only on day three so I'm not quite bored yet...... but I've seen so many amazing before/after results from it, I definitely think these people will keep me motivated.

Awesome results! You look fantastic! I'm on day three and hope to have as great results as you did!

I've been on here a week and can't believe how much support and motivation I'm getting! This site is great! Everone feel free to add me!

I have the same problem! I get so proud of myself for the miles that I'm running, and my friends/family act like its no big deal. They try to make me cheat on my diet but then make me feel bad when I do. It sucks! Vent here all you like. We'll listen. :) Keep up the great work! You are doing an amazing job!

Definitely the road bike! You'll have so much fun with it and burn calories!

I love all of my motivational MFP friends!!! Add me if you like, I'm always looking for more friends! :)

What an amazing story! You should be extremely proud of yourself! Strut your stuff this summer!

Thnks for all of the great advice guys! I'm ready to eat more!!! :)

Thanks for all of the amazing tips guys! Feel free to add me and keep me motivated! :)

I started with C25K and it is fabulous! They also have a C210K app!

What does NET mean? Sorry, I'm new at this!

So you upped your calories to 1800-2000 per day PLUS your exercise calories? Sorry, just trying to clarify here. Everyone is giving me so much great advice I'm trying to figure out what it all means! :)

Good for you! This will be the best decision you'll ever make! I'm a former smoker... Things will start tasting better.... you'll actually be able to smell things again! And exercise will come SO much easier! Plus, you don't smell like an ashtray anymore! :) I didn't replace cigarettes with food, just chewed gum! Don't…

The half marathon or the cookies? :) I'm thinking the cookies....

I've got SIX boxes at home staring at me everyday...... I refuse to open them until after I finish my first half marathon in April :)

Just moved to Dallas from CA!
