If you are indeed using TDEE, then NO. You do not eat your calories back.

I'm sorry, didn't meant to quote your entire posting!!! I said.... JEEZUZ girl! You look freakin' amazing!!! You are very inspirational, thank you for sharing your story! People can learn a lot from you. Good luck with your new baby! :drinker: :smile:

:drinker: Me too :smile:

5'4 Starting weight: 210 Current weight: 198 Goal weight: 140 - 150 (why do you all want to be so small? :)) Goad date: Next February, but I'm not worried about long it will take me at this point.

Thank you! :happy:

No, I don't deal with that. I guess sometimes people will say.. to be nice.. you don't need to loose weight. OBVIOUSLY I DO. i'm 5'4 and 200 pounds... However, I have conscience of ladies who may be too thin and need help gaining. It goes both ways.. totally get that. You just have to be comfortable with yourself and know…

WOW! You look incredible! WAY TO GO! Happy dancing for you! So inspirational.. thanks for sharing!! You did amazing!!!!!!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :happy: :happy: :happy:

That's OK! Be proud that you got your bike out and started! One day at a time, one minute or one second at a time. You can do it. Before you know it will get easier. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck!

Actually, my husband is quadriplegic and is a lot stronger (mentally than most people on here). But whatever makes you laugh.

you can add me too. jasper186 is one of my friends! :D (i saw her respond to you)

5'3.5 lol (right now 198pounds) eating around 1900 calories a day and burning at least 500 in the gym every day except Sundays. This is what I'm using and it's working http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ down 9 pounds in 38 days. Feel free to add me as a friend. :)

I have one friend who did this and lost 100lbs.. but she looks sick.. like low iron, too skinny and kind of looks like a melted crayon. But she's happy? Another one lost about 50 pounds but said it's almost impossible to eat now without gaining. Really messed up her metabolism. but that's my opinion. I say, don't take…

Feel free to add me. I have about 50 pounds to loose at this point. I don't think realistically I'll get there by the summer and as long as you eat and take care of yourself, you can add me! :) I'm on here all of the time.

Are you closer to the gym when at work? Maybe eat at your desk and get a workout in a lunch. That's been working great for me. All of the other suggestions are great too. Just 30 minutes - an hour a day, even break it up, half an hour at lunch. good luck!

LOL No worries. Just thought I would officially apologize to the MFP peps. Not really sure why I care lol

Seriously NO! I apologize if anyone thought I was advertising. I was hoping you read this as sarcastic and then gave you a quote of one of the recent emails I got from one of those "coaches" . No need to report me the MFP authorities lol! This post got me in "trouble".... I will insert proper italics and quotes next time.…

Anyone can add me! I recently up-ed my calories according to -20% on the TDEE. I'm just trying to figure out which one is most accurate. I hate that people, especially young girls feel they need to starve themselves and it makes me angry! I used to do that all of the time and now I'm paying the price.. Looking for…

Adopt a Noob... I like it! Thank you!

Feel free to add me. :) I log in daily and more than once. I've got at least 50 pounds to go! :)

Add me! I'm 201, down 7 pounds... first big goal is 170 and then on I go.. I hope.. I've been going to the gym everyday. Can use any friends that are active. Thanks!

201 here! Any of you, feel free to add me as well. Only a month in. 7 pounds down.

Canadian MEN YAYYYY!!!!

Yes! To everyone! So inspiring! :drinker:

So awesome!! All of you!

Also... At 5'7, I think your at a great weight!

Toooo little calories. IMHO especially if breast feeding. Lift weights and tone that way.

Log your food, move for 30 minutes a day and you will be fine! Add me as a friend if you would like. Good luck!:happy:

Same here. Orginally started at 203, got down to 170, back up to 203, back down to 190 and now back to 203!!!! I know exactly what I'm doing wrong when I do it and it so hard to not be hard on myself. Oh well, here goes again. Feel free to add me too. Anyone that can help motivate me would be greatly appreciated.. good…
