  • Um, if she entered her goals in her settings, and it told her 1200 calories, then that's the right amount to meet her goals in the time frame set. But obviously you everything about how this site calculates and makes its recommendations, so everyone should just wait for your to give your advice before they share their…
  • Stick to 1200 calories. If you burn 300 exercising, you eat 1500. It's a guide to eating the right kinds of foods that will be nutritionally valuable.
  • Be careful. Just like it's easy to go over budget with your money if you don't keep track, the same is true for calories, fat and sugar. Don't live and die by the number, but it does help keep things in perspective.
  • If you let your weight loss live and die on immediate, instant results, you won't get anything accomplished. It's not like your pants fit too snugly in the morning, so you go work out in the afternoon, and then you can wear them that evening. Just like it takes your body a couple days to show the weight from eating second…

  • I once dated a guy that had lost 150lbs when I met him, but still weighed over 270. He even had to have plastic surgery after that weight loss. He told me (per paraphrase) that it's really sugar that makes you fat, and cutting it out as much as you can without totally eliminating it is the best way to lose inches. When I…
  • It's hard to be a person that weighs 30lbs less when you see yourself as constantly dieting. It has to be a real lifestyle change, you have to become that person that eats healthily. Don't get discouraged. Welcome to MyFitnessPal.
  • You weigh about the same as me, and you have the same fitness goals. Just don't get discouraged. Remember, when dieting, you can't be a person that eats pizza but eats salads. You have to become a person that eats more healthily as a lifestyle. It's not like you can't ever have pizza again, but you can have one piece, not…
  • You're not the only one, lol. I overdid it on the alcohol too this holiday weekend. Try to just keep it down when you drink. It's not like you're never going to drink again, but you can have one or two glasses of wine instead of five beers and a shot. Your body will return to normal, just keep doing what you do. Don't look…
  • Try to find some substitutions for things you normally eat, like fish for chicken, carrots and ranch for chips and dip, ground turkey for beef, strawberries with sugar for bacon with your morning eggs, one glass of wine for a few beers, when you first feel hungry drink some water first... And you may have to start learning…
  • Maybe you are working a little too hard. Allow yourself something moderate to cheat with every few days. It keeps you on track but helps curb that feeling of the never-ending diet.
  • Yeah, me too. Its hard to resist too! I just ask myself... Am I really hungry or just feeling blue? Have I had enough to eat today already? Is food right now going to make it harder for me to stick to my diet later?
