All right, Im goin to try to up my calorie intake. I didn't know you could loose weight while almost meeting your calorie goal. I DO NOT want to burn out and quit.

Thanks everybody. I think you are all right. My calorie deficit is huge but I though you needed a deficit of at least 500 to loose weight. I think Im going to start bumpijg my calorie intake. I really cant stand this feeling.

Well I am overweight and I am having a tough time understanding this exact topic. I am taking in around 1200 calories a day and exercising a minimum 45 minutes a day 5 days a week (it feels like I am eating plenty and you can check out my diary). In my first week I lost 3 lbs. But my exercise is all cardio mostly. So what…

Cauliflower Pizza Anyone!?! http://www.closetcooking.com/2013/02/cauliflower-pizza-crust-with-bbq.html Super good. Im making it tonight. Very low in calories and carbs!!

Doany of you guys and girls have some sort of meal plan ideas to reach that calorie mark?

Exactly, I think I will try that for dinner tonight. I will cook my chicken breast in olive oil. What veggies or sides are relatively good to have on a usual basis with dinner?

This sounds awesome. Almost like the greek Tzatziki Sauce. What brand or how do you make it? Also, is this a high calorie dresing? Thanks

So do you guys have any recommendations on what to eat to intake more calories but still keep my carbs down?

So do you think I should only do the 4 interval training right at the end of my workout and keep to the mild low intensity fat burning for 30 minutes prior? If you look at my diary you can see what I plan on eating through the day and my total intake as well. Thanks for the response!!

Don't stop!! Keep it up and do it for you. Think of how proud of yourself you willbe once you hit that target weight. I live with roommates and they say stupid things like that all the time to me. I don't know if it is because it makes them feel better or what, but I keep my head up and stay strong. Just wear your clothes…

I agree with anner53108 above. MFP doesn’t necessarily take into consideration a low carb diet which I myself am on. A lot of articles online recommend for you to actually increase your intake of healthy fats such as nuts, avocado, etc. So if you’re working out and staying true to your low carb diet you may be deficit in…

You are all amazing! Thanks for giving me some feedback. Looks like I will still enjoy my drinks at night and to moderation while counting the calories as long as I keep up my workouts and low carb diet!

Thanks for sharing. I just can’t believe 6 shots of vodka is 700+ calories!

Oh Yeah, I Forgot to say - Add Me! - I could use the support as well.

Just started on Sunday!! I have 69 lbs. to go!!! Trying the Healthy Low Carb Life style with an hour + workout each day. I am using the elliptical trainer because it is soft on my knees but I am burning 1098 calories a night the machine says!! Probably not completely accurate but a little confidence boost that I am doing…
