I think have taken the most important step so far .. You Care ... the rest will fall into place .. just keep caring Good luck

if you look long enough you will find a study that proves what ever you want to prove . good luck

good luck and i may steel your plan , i need motivation as well

I think we have trouble being truthful with ourselves. . When things don't go my way I usually know why .. now I can make excuses but the results are the same ..so a good start is don't lie to yourself .. Good luck and hang in there

yea it really sucks when you thought you have did pretty good and still went over ,, just gotta keep going good luck

Maybe this is why people say slow and steady , this is a life style change , we gotta keep eating the correct calories no matter what the scale says good luck

even when they put calories on the menu its a crap shoot .. different size servings , more of this less of that ,, i have been using a good ball park for me and going with it ,, no weight loss ,, change ball park figure good luck

yes my scale doesnt show me the number i want sometimes lol ,, just gotta stay on plan , nothing else i can do .

I think any time your limiting food choices you are limiting calories indirectly .. for example I followed the.t factor diet years ago .. it limited and tracked fat intake .. for a man it was 60 grams of fat I think .. and by doing that I also limited my calories. Even tho I didn't know it at the time .. If you have health…

its funny , the Metric system still confuses me , guess you can tell im from the US ..

i have heard 1 percent body weight max ,, closer to goal most go half pound a week . good luck

Thats true Sue ,, i was joking around .. no one has made me eat anything and i do control how much i eat . At Christmas i went off plan and its just taking longer to see the types of progress i was seeing before Christmas .. Just gotta keep moving and stay on plan , ill get there good luck

OP . I am kind of in same boat as you . Seems like it's taking me longer to get back on track than I would like .. I just try to hit my numbers and keep moving forward .. and that means not going over my numbers .. I'm not ready to start maintaince yet ...I guess I could lie to myself and call it a diet break lol Good luck

I thought it was calories .. not carbs we are chasing here ?

I would say you have did well .. Good luck

i think we all get discouraged sometimes , for example my scale didnt show what i wanted it to show this week ,, and i know why i think ,, but i also know quitting is not the answer . i did eat better than what i could have eaten and know that and should still be in a deficit ,, just gotta plug along and not give up ,,…

i think people just want a trick to losing weight sometimes ,, hate to say it but theres no trick CI verses CO is what i do good luck

Divorce is hard , there are a lot of churches that offer a divorce recovery program ,, you can meet lots of nice people ,, your not alone .. Great job on weight loss Good luck

im thinking you just did ,, take it one day at a time ,, set MFP eat those nuumbers and wait ,, good luck

and i bet the tax payers are footing the bill lol

Joined June 2013 is what profile says .. i guess about right . i had lost before and had some heath and attitude problems , but getting back on course .. thats one of the best things about this site , i think the people here are at at every stage of health / weight / fitness you can imagine . So no matter where your at…

Good luck and good start ,, stick to plan and you will do fine

Good luck to you , the system works , just takes time and eating on plan .. let us know if we can help any at all ,, my food log is open if you want to nose around

No food helps you lose weight lol I mean eating no food helps you lose weight .. Well I thought it was funny Good luck

I don't look at it ,, it kind of bums me out seeing the numbers ,, just seems slow lol Good luck

that picture tells a good story , most likely if you dont look like him ,, you have a different reason to not losing weight . thanks for posting that good luck

i think this is where the idea i gotta eat more to lose weight thing came into play ,,, bad idea in the long run and people just dont get CI vs CO in the long run is what does it good luck

If your netting 950 a day , that does seem low , from what i have read 1200 is the low number for Girls ,, you would still lose 1 pound a week at your numbers . A lot of people do weekly averages of there calories is why i mentioned weekly goals instead of daily goals .. good luck

I think it would depend on what calorie level you were eating at .. 1500 per day times three 4500 per week .. I have about 5250 per week trying for 1.5 per week loss .. .. so if your eating at maintaince every day and using this at calore reduction ?? Good luck

I just used numbers that MFP gives me ,, also lurk on this board you will learn a lot .. Good luck 21 day fix scares me
