Love this... and it is proof that everyone sees it their own way... cause I am overweight and by no means am I jealous of anyone who is skinny and eating low calories.... LOL.. that was humorous for my to even type.... I know with my muscle and my activity level... there is no way I would want to eat that low of…

That is doable.. with a healthy diet and exercise.... I just lost 15 pounds in about 2 months! And I did not starve or anything... I have been eating anywhere from 1500 calories to 1800.. depending on my activity level for the day!

I like this post.. In fact ONE of the many reasons I need and want to loose some weight and get healthier is because I want to be a healthy, sexually appealing, active wife for my husband.. I do not believe caring about him in this way is any way negative... He works out, he tries to keep healthy, and he also tries to be…

There is a few things I believe that every new MFP person should be told right off.... You need to get a HRM to accurately track the calories burned during your exercise or walks, You need to get a set of scales and keep your measuring cups, spoons and scales out on the counter... use them.. do not GUESS it. The First…

Go Ahead.. do it your way.. LOL... Had a co-worker who used a prescription to loose weight.. the prescription was originally given to someone I didn't ever meet... that was for the dude to stop heroin... But hey.. it worked... she lost 80 pounds.. kept it off for over 3 years.... I don't know where she is now... and if…

After I replied a couple of times... LOL.. I too had to ask myself... Was this post originally just a rant post? Or was the original post a question that they truly wanted some of the communities ideas?? I have learned a lot of people just want you to say.. GO ahead.. do what you want.. your right in doing it! ..…

I will pray for you! It saddens me when one is faced with an eating disorder... There are so many reasons people fight these demons that convince them to starve or even over eat...... I am glad your much healthier.. You should post the pics... I am interested in seeing them the difference between starving yourself and…

LOL!! I couldn't help but chuckle.... But maybe she has eating or weight disorder and needs another to monitor her weight for her! JS!

I had to comment .. I read it after my first initial reply... I agree.. People are going to make their own life choices and then they will live with the results of those choices.... But I am asking you to not get upset at others especially if you have ask them a question.. or posted a topic into the community.. when you…

I am not a hater.. I agree with some of the other post .. I did not read all of them... It seems like those who I have friended or given advice to on here.. I can only recall one, who may need 1200 or less calories a day... One girl I gave advice to was in bed sick and hurting cause she was so tired and she herself…

I would definitely consider this.. even if there are other options... Jumping rope is a great exercise, its not real expensive and you can do it in a small apartment if you have to. I also would recommend some calisthenics... or circuit training that does not require any weights. Goodluck!

well.. what I have learned about this is... we are all alike.. so there is a basic standard.. but we are all our own also... I am not sure why your posting this.. I guess your asking if that sounds right?| I would say I don't know.. try it for a week or two.. and if you get no results or find your loosing super fast... you…

If you can understand this.. I will try and explain the way I believe it works.. I am loosing weight.. and have been steadily.. but Also.. I am trying to do it healthy for a long term goal... I know some people just want to loose 10 pounds .. for here and now and eat as little as they can to drop it.. that to me is not a…

I am going to ask.. beens your asking our advice.. how did you come up with 1100 calories burned.. I agree with the above statement.. that seems excessive.. Eating back some of those calories may cause you too loose weight.... but eating back 1100 calories .. may not reap you the same result... because I know baseball…

Years before when I never worked out... I just didn't have the appetite.. Now that I jog and exercise... now lift weights... I think I would pass out if I did not eat regularly.. I believe my metabolism burns faster when I am working out.... yes you get to eat more calories... For example... My husband is 260 pounds.. with…

I am way late in joining.. but I still need to do this... My food list would include: Frozen coffee ice cream frozen yogurt homemade cookies! I was thinking about my list and it cracks me up... I wonder why I struggle with my weight... LOL.. I wish it was just chocolate! LOL My first day is today.... Aug 12 and my last day…

My mother rocked her stretch marks our whole lives, they look better tanned, I seen someone suggest that! Honestly... my mom was not what I think is a hottie, she does not workout... she is skinny, but its just that... I thought she was beautiful anyhow!.. and men always found her attractive even in her 2 piece! I say take…

I don't want to discourage you.. but it is genetics.... I have loose skin like my grandma does on her arms... I HATE IT! My little sister, lost about 50lbs... She looks super great.. fit and all, but still struggles with some loose skin... I do know that there is some truth in the weight loss madness and confusion.... If…

I can pass by chocolate... But the beer... WOW.. How do you keep from drinking everyday? Get bored, irritated with a co-worker.. chill out.. have a beer.. or three.. as three is my personal limit! LOL

First thing First.. you need to ask you doctor this questions.. there are many medical reasons that can cause you to loose weight, and you need to eliminate that as a possibility to be safe and sure! I am not sure.. but you said your looking 1.8 kg? That is almost 4 pounds a week, are you sure your sedentary? Are you very…

This is a good suggestion... seems like when your just starting... just focusing on staying close to but at your goal and trying to eat the protein, fats and carbs you should is enough.. once you get that down.. You can take on more... I know from experience.. that learning to get healthy, is a process and you have to…

I just complained to everyone on my homepage about the same thing... I have will power and try to eat healthy... but we all have those days, and those co-workers who keep at it.. OH.. just one, I share one with ya, One cookie/cake/donut wont hurt once in awhile.... the problem is, it seems like we constantly have Subway…

I wanted to add, that is the only exercise she gets, she has a desk job and does not go to gym. But she has mad her walking a priority.. without using any excuses as to why she didn't go. SHe has ben walking now for about 3 years!

My neighbor, she walk almost everyday. With the exception of Sundays and rainy or extreme cold. She has lost about 40 or 50 lbs. I don't have her exact numbers.. But she would be a great success story!

Do you have your food diary set so that you can see daily, even by meal, just how much protein your eating, so that not to go under or over to much?

I like Peanut butter(SOOO many calories), I like black beans with a table spoon or two of fat free sour cream on the top, I like turkey, it is a meat low in calories and has plenty of protein, Oh of course shrimp, crab and Tuna, all very good choices, egg whites, or you can drink it with almond milk, frozen fruit and whey…

Well, I can understand how you feel, as my family is a lover of foods, and every time I tell them I am looking to loose weight they give me the ... Accept who you u are your beautiful speech .... I wonder if its because they don't want anyone around them dieting and making them question whether they should.. but anyhow.. I…

If I was you, I would go to my doctor and have yourself measured. I was just sharing what I have been taught and told. I do know, you cant goo off a jean size, or looking at someone to measure body fat. I cant imagine that anyone will be able to answer you question on this web site... a person would have to see you and…

I know a few years back me and another girl from my work got our body fat checked and we were both at 23 percent. She is incredibly small, around a size 4 or 6. I was a size 14. So body fat and size can be misleading! She was shocked and so was I! Let us know when you get checked again! 43 percent does seem high if your…
