Hi, my name is Nidda. I am 24 years old, and currently just completed my undergrad. I am from Canada. The largest I have weighed is 215 lbs. My goal weight on MFP is 130 lbs and then I will adjust from there. My main source of exercise is walking. I LOVE walking. I currently restarted walking again for 2 hours every day at…

Week 0: 190 lbs Week 1: 190 lbs Goal weight after 15 weeks: 160-165 lbs I just started today. I usually weigh myself on Friday's so I am just going to post those weights for 'Sat' from now on :D

A whole turkey is a whole turkey bought from a store marinated with vinegar and spice and put in the oven to roast. And then you can eat it several times a week till it is all done :D I do eat only 0.25 cups of curry with 1 roti (that's like a pita but homemade with no oil/butter and is made with brown bread). So the curry…

You should still log your food. You don't have to do it while on the trip if you can't. Do it later if you can but make a list of the restaurants you eat at. If you choose to eat at a restaurant too make sure you know how many calories you are eating so you can control your portions. Eg. If you are eating at Mcdonalds, who…

How did you manage to lose 28 lbs in one month? That's like a lb per day O____O

Thank you, I will go and review my previous weeks now.

Okay I will do that. Thank you for your help!

Thank you.

Where do I go to measure my BMR and TDEE? I've googled these terms, but there are many sites that calculate them differently. Which site do you recommend?

Thank you, that made sense :D.

Thank you. I will record this as a week I gained weight then, so that I can reflect on it and make changes accordingly. This post was very helpful.

I feel like I have cut out the sugary drinks (which was my biggest problem before) extremely well. The other day I bought a Dole bottle....and misread the label, so I drank it all. I kept the bottle and when I was recording the calories later I was shocked at how many calories I had consumed........and they weren't even…

Okay I will buy a cheap food scale when I find one. When I make food at home should I measure each ingredient separately then, or should I measure the finished product on the scale?

Thank you. I thought I could eat however I wanted so that is why I was going crazy with the turkey. It was my lazy microwaved meal. I will stop being lazy and eat more fruit/salad. But, I usually eat at least 2 medium oranges per day. Is that not enough? How much fruit/salad is considered enough?

Thank you for your reply. I love nuts. I have developed a strange addiction to almonds, raisins and peanuts lately. I will try to eat more of those.

So its normal to go up? If so, next week do those people lose more weight or do they lose only the regular 2 lbs? I am a bit confused about this weight gain/loss scenario. Why does it happen if people are tracking their food and exercise properly and doing everything right? (I am not claiming I am doing anything right. I…

So what method should I use to measure my progress then?

Thank you. I completely forgot that this week I did not eat breakfast quite a few days which probably made a huge difference. In the previous weeks I had been eating a fully nutritious breakfast and it did wonders for my energy level. I will stop being lazy with breakfast. Again thank you for reminding me.

Honestly speaking EVERYONE is worth helping. Even the dumbest of the dumb. I live by the principle that if you have nothing nice to say you shouldn't say it. I lack a lot and I never claimed to be all knowing or full of it. Otherwise, I would not have posted on the forums. I was expecting to receive constructive criticism…

I am not weighing my food. But, I try imagining how much would fit in one cup and go accordingly. There may be a margin of error in my tracking, but it is not that large (maybe by .5 or less). How do you suggest I track my portion sizes more correctly? Also, what do you mean by "you don't track all of your macros"?

Thank you for an actually helpful reply. I already put dressing in my salads, and vegetable oil in my daily curries. I also leave room for error....so that is why I am a few calories low. I'll start drinking a cup of milk per day again to up my calories. I also walk for 2 hours per day because there are a few days I have…

Okay, I can do that at least. Are there any calorie-dense foods you suggest that I should eat to up my calories?

saving

How do I count the calories burned for that?

I probably won't restrict calories further. I think I am one of those weird people who feels full with even the amount of calories I am eating now some days O____o. So I don't feel deprived. I also listen to my body......so when I am still hungry even after having drunk a glass of water.......I will eat healthy snacks. I…

I completely agree with this. Just the other day my aunt came over to our house and told me eating 1300 calories was too much O____O. I should eat 800 instead =___= And to do this I should start the 'cabbage soup diet'. I told her..........no you have to bring balance into your life that is long lasting. This means that…
