It had me at around 90 grams of protein. No wonder I felt fine in the evening when I'd have high protein meal like baked chicken with paprika (hubby's favorite) and felt like crap the other times. Its been really hard trying to stay in calories when I'm starving during the day. Oh and I calculated the new protein goal on…

Guess it is about right. Had to change the protein/carb/fat ratios in my profile and its pretty close.

I had to have my husband hide the candy from me because it was just sitting there and I was giving in way too much. I was just going to say though, that if you really want to keep it, stick it in the freezer. Then when you think you want a piece you can pull it out but you have to wait for it to thaw, usually by that time…

Totally agree with this!! My first goal is to get to 200 which would be a huge thing for me because I hadn't weighed that since 2006. But I've also started thinking about how when I lost 6 pounds I was at my weight when I got married. Just this morning I realized that I haven't been this weight since I first started…
-
1,880 to around 2,200. Now MFP sets me at 1,780-1,980 depending on the activity level.
-
The 12 pounds came off over two months then the last month I've been hanging around the same number. Hehe, this was by no means a quick loss but far better than I was doing before I started logging food, which by the way was zero pounds lost. September 6 marks the start of my 4th month.
-
In this case, what are some suggestions for lunches and dinners then? Yes, I need to work on the foods but as I said before, I'm just now getting to the point of keeping portions down. I don't really see how eating 3 meals a day is any worse than eating 5-6 smaller meals when I am already not hungry on the smaller portions…
-
Oh goodness no! That's over a 24 hour period. I've been resetting it every morning at 7:30 am right before my trek uphill to work. And yes I do have more than 30 pounds to lose. The 30 pounds is my first goal.
-
Because depending on what it was set to 1,800 to 2,000 calories is what MFP suggested I do to lose a pound a week. I've been weighing the food and trying to be vigilant about bringing my meals to work instead of eating out. And the pedometer which is on my watch wasn't something I was using to base my calories on. I just…

That is what MFP suggested in order to lose 1 pound a week assuming I am sedentary which actually according to about 5 different calculators is less than my BMR (which is one of the reasons I initially set my activity as lightly active). I'm 5'11", 221 pounds, female
-
That's because I had my activity set to lightly active then this morning I got all upset with myself and changed it back to sedentary which changed my goals to around 200 calories less. I really wish MFP calories would reflect the goal at that time instead of the current goal.
-
See it just seems strange that those settings would put me under my BMR. I get that its just an estimation, but it just doesn't seem like that should be.
-
Ha! I was so excited when I first met my husband because I could now wear heels around him (he's 6'6")
-
Wow! I wasn't expecting so many replies! Normally I'm a thread killer :) This is exactly what I needed to hear. Sometimes I just freak out in my mind thinking that I've not really lost it even when I've looked at the progress. But I have a really bad habit of overthinking things too! My initial goal is to be around 195…
-
I read about people doing the 1,200 calories and I just can't fathom how they do it and aren't starving. I'm always happy to hear about people who eat a realistic amount of calories and have success. Its motivating to me. 1,200 just discourages me right now!
-
Proud of their work
-
I know this and I keep telling myself that. But there are those days when I feel like nothing is happening and my 8 pound loss is all in my head despite me looking at the progress charts. Fortunately, I was already active than most by walking to work and (attempting to get back to) running. I'm most fortunate in that I…
-
Bumping to get answer for logging runs in addition to light activity question in #3
-
Ok, so then if I set my activity level to lightly active should I record my runs when I'm able to get back to running 3x a week? I'm starting to think that the BMR being higher than the calories MFP set me at under sedentary is the reason I would get ravenous a few times a week. That and not calculating in the walking. I…
-
Because right now I'm not consistently doing them due to an injury. So I'm slowly trying to get back into being able to run and then log those calories burned during exercise and then eat those back. I do have a desk job and that's why I set it to sedentary. But "the" recommendation is 10,000 steps a day, it seems like…

And this is why short shorts have never been my friend, even when I was skinnier. In fact, I'm pretty sure my thighs have never not touched. I've got spanx for when I wear dresses in the summer because i can't walk with the amount of chaffing that goes on!
