Honestly it doesn't seem like it's too high to me. 200 calorie breakfast, 400 calorie lunch, 700 calorie dinner is 1300 calories. But this is also coming from someone who shoots for 900+ cal dinners, so I might be a bit skewed on that.

If you're working out pretty hard for that one hour, just try to get out and walk more. I exercise for 1.5-2 hours most days, but I also take leisurely walks. I don't really count them as exercise, just being up and moving.

Yes. I never eat breakfast and rarely eat lunch, and I'm fine. Just make sure you get the calories you need.

Awesome! Sounds like a great meal to me! :) Thanks for putting it all together.

We should throw some grilled chicken on that salad for some protein as well.

That dressing sounds good!

You're right smack dab in the middle of the healthy weight range for your height, so it's really up to you. You can gain muscle now and lose fat later, or you can lose fat now and gain muscle later. Weight training while you lose fat will help you maintain the muscle mass you already have, which will give you a better…

1000 calorie deficit = 2 lb per week 750 calorie deficit = 1.5 lb per week 500 calorie deficit = 1 lb per week 250 calorie deficit = 0.5 lb per week How much weight loss should you shoot for? 75+ lb to lose: 2 lb per week 50-75 lb to lose: 1.5 lb per week 25-50 lb to lose: 1 lb per week <25 lb to lose: 0.5 lb per week

Do you NEED to? No. You're healthy. But if you want to lose more body fat, go for it! Lifting weights is definitely good for getting the physique you want, so keep up the hard work and I'm sure you'll see improvements. The lowest healthy weight for your height is 105, so you still have plenty of room for healthy fat loss.

I have a 24 oz water bottle, and I just put in the 3 cups whenever I re-fill.

The line above is where my weight was 28 days ago.

If you want to create lean muscle, you need to eat at or above maintenance and lift weights. Eating at 1200-1400 calories will not do you any favors, seeing as you don't need to lose weight, and food won't just create muscle if you aren't training your muscles. Find out what your maintenance intake is, decide whether you…

I'm prone to stalls and whooshes, so I don't even pay attention to the weight predictor. Sometimes I get to the predicted weight faster, sometimes slower.

Initial goal is 125 lb, but I'm planning on gaining muscle after fat loss. So ultimately I'd like to end up around 130-133.

I record my weight every day on weightgrapher.com. It gives you a moving average of your weight, so it sort of blurs the data noise. Your moving average weight is tracked on a line, and your actual weight is recorded in dots below it. As long as your dot is below the line, you are still on track. Here's a picture of my…

Measurements can be tricky, because it's hard to measure in the exact same spot every time. Also, where are you measuring? You may be losing fat in areas you aren't paying attention to. Also, you may be losing visceral fat rather than subcutaneous fat. This is a very good thing, but it won't show a great decrease in…

If you're not losing weight, you aren't in a calorie deficit. How many calories are you eating and how did you arrive at this number? Are you weighing and measuring your portion sizes to ensure accuracy? Are you logging absolutely everything you eat? Are you logging exercise? And if you are, where do you get your calorie…

Two weeks isn't enough time to determine if you are really stalled. Sometimes that just happens. I was stalled for three weeks recently, it finally broke, and I lost 3 pounds this week. Bodies are weird, and sometimes they take a while to catch up. You can try increasing your cardio, slightly decreasing your intake, or…

I did the opposite. I can't remember the last time I was the goal weight I set on here (probably before middle school), because I know that no matter how long it takes me, it IS realistic. It's realistic for anyone to get down to low weight (defining that as BMI 19-22). It just takes a long bout of consistency and effort.…

Yes. I eat lots of carbs.

How about some vegetarian lasagna? This one's under 200 cal a serving. Sauce: 2 6 oz cans tomato paste 28 oz can crushed tomatoes 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp salt 2 tsp sugar 1 tsp dried oregano 1 diced onion 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (opt.) 1 cup water Combine sauce ingredients and simmer at least 30 minutes (I like to…

Last time I flew, I just declined the meal and used meal replacement bars and snacks so I could keep track of the calories. It's not ideal, but hey, it's only 24 hours at most.

BeachBody workouts are pretty good. I've done Insanity in the past (GREAT results) and am currently doing P90X. I recommend buying on Amazon so you don't accidentally get roped into vitamin/supplement auto-delivery charges.

Hey there! I'm 63 pounds into my goal of 82 pounds total. Anyone feel free to add me, I'm very active on here and love having new friends to encourage and chat with! Please send a message with your FR letting me know you found me here. :)

I like Optimum Nutrition. For one scoop, it's 120 cal, 3g carb, and 24g protein. It's good mixed with water, milk, almond milk, or stirred into some yogurt!

I haven't been bothering to weigh packaged foods like bread slices and rice cakes, but I'll definitely keep that in mind when I get closer to goal weight. I do weigh all my fruits and vegetables, cereals, meats, etc though! Fortunately the differences between the stated weight of a slice of bread and the actual weight…

Also, there's eatthismuch.com, but I'm not a fan. Too complicated, costs money, doesn't give me enough variety.

I just buy foods that I like and eat regularly, and plan my days in the morning. If I want something in particular that I didn't get last shopping trip, I'll go and get it to make that night. *Shrug*

My boyfriend has been enormously supportive. He's never had a weight problem so I know it's difficult for him to understand what it's like, but he's doing lots of active things with me, and is always more than happy to eat the healthy foods I have in my apartment. Doesn't bring junk around to my place and always reminds me…

OMG ya'll I'm so excited for week 3 weigh-ins. Crossing my fingers hoping my recent weight loss sticks!
