I am only now seeing the weight drop. Have noticed some tops are sagging in my shoulder collar area. Kinda wierd. Didnt think that would be an area for clothes to start fitting differently.

Losing weight especially if obese will not harm a baby. Extreme dieting and a huge calorie deficit is dangerous. I know many women who lost at the beginning. Mainly from 1. Cutting any alcohol cold turkey 2. Eating more sensibly 3. Morning sickness. If you are obese and just happen to lose by eating normal and no alcohol…

Just some words of encouragement. Working out every other day is also great!! Where is the rule that states we HAVE to work out everyday?? Forcing yourself everyday is just making exercise a chore, which you will eventually hate and completly stop doing. Just set a goal to work out 3/4 times a week and ENJOY your lazy…

You're already thin. So with only stomach issues, I,d look into pilates and/or yoga for core work.

I would say getting your possible sleep apnea checked out tAkes priority over worrying about if you should force yourself to workout or not!! Especially at your weight. I have family members with it. Sleep apnea, snoring, obesity are possible symptoms of cardiovascular issues. You need to find a good cardio Doc that will…

Agree 100% as some people are taller than others, some people are naturally thinner than others. I got dealt than fat card at birth. Growing up, I had 2 best friends( sisters) tall and naturally thin. We 3 were in the same sports teams. Very active. They could eat anything and were thin. I looked At food and gained. I…

2000 is not alot to eat. I don't how muc less can be filling!! I eat @2000 and more if I cheat. I also eat healthy. Brkfast: coffee, juice (little diluted with water) muesli with mix. Brings me to just under 400. Lunch was garden greens with tuna, feta, veggies, olives with a lowfat johurt dressing. Small roll. Total 600.…

Dang, 500 for months. How did you do ot?? I would have eventually eaten one of my kids!! Up to 1200 and at some point you could go higher once you fix your metabolism

For the love of God people just eat a damn sandwich! It's really not that hard. I highly doubt cups of salad dashed with parmasen cheese and a bit of chicken is filling. If that's too hard get the dang peanut butter out

I agree with the low-rise issue.. I don't buy low rise pants, too depressing. I am bottom heavy an 18.. In low-rise I have to go to a 20 or 22 if I can even find that cut in that size. low rise makes no sense at my size. As a size 18 I will not go to muffin top territory and wear tight or stomach showing tops with low…

Thinking about alcohol. Have cut back alot since Jan. but weekends are still killing me on the scale. That or nuts. Nuts have been also killing me lately. Too many cals as I cant just eat 10 almonds but a handfull or two.

Going tomthe gym or doing a class for me would be a horror. But I have noticed doing a brisk walk or light jog in the fresh air does wonders. There might be a point to getting the body to sweat out the bad.

Supid ipad keyboard typos.

Re-read your post id the machine is sayinf that i am almost certain it wrong. Even at lowest level my oulse is at 120 or so. Dont knowmyr weight. But the machine is saying a real low number.

Does the machine say this or do you use a heart rate monitor?

Carbs have a bad rap. For weight loss what really counts is cals. I could eat low carb but still stuff my face with nuts and cheese. I will still gain weight. Since starting MFP , my carbs have gone down. This comes without trying if you are cutting sugar loaded processed foods ( which happen to carb loaded). I have…

that is too funny

I would double check your calorie calculations. Each body is different and TDEE calculations are estimates. Maybe yours is lower. Try a week or two lowering your cals to see if this works. I know it sucks. I THINK i'm good in my cal calculations, but have been thinking about testing a two week healthy choice frozen meal…

This is what I have over the years learned about the pill Any Dr. Will tell you no and quote studies that support that. Any "proven" weight related to the pill is water related. Now alot of women on the pill will say so differently. Including me t times. Though I did lose 50 lbs 10 yrs ago while on the pill. 10 yrs later,…

Wish I had your stats!! I say go with how you feel but be honest with yourself!, ( those with ED also tell themselves they are feeling well). For your height you are very light. I shouldnt talk as you could say to me for my height i am very heavy. I could say to you,you arent eating enough cal/ day. You could say to me I…

I took a look at your diary and I would also be always hungry eating @1200 a day! No wonder. Some people say they arent with 1200 but IMO that is little. Especially if you arent a veggie person

Well I weigh 218 so maybe I should give up running and go for leisurly strolls. ??? It's not that I cant fathom, its just I question all these devices including mine at times. When I think back to what I ate before I started MFP and now reducing, counting, tracking eerything. I really do wonder what got me at 218. I run…

I find it hard to believe that one can burn 300/400 calories while out shopping. That is how much I burn while running 30 min using a HRM !! Are these FItbits accurate. ??? If they are then I am heading to the mall daily and will be fitting in those skinny jeans real soon

Nice!

I looove step!! Much more fun than zumba and for me I burn more. At times I will youtube some videos and do them at home. Tge only thing I dont like in dvds and videos is that most of the time the instructor is facing you. I prefer like in a class. Dvd mirror image can make some moves confusing.

Same thing happened to me, 2 weeks into this. Horrible all over my chin. I read its the hormonal changes from fat loss. Plus chin zits are hormonal. Wasnt TOM either. Think of it as a good sign.

OP- your situation sounds like mine.. I did have my Thryoid tested a few yrs ago and it was ok.. I know that most of my weight issues is self-inflicted but I am really starting to think in my case part of the equation is hormones. I am planning an annual soon and want to get retested and also get my hormone levels tested.

so nice to see a thread with comments/suggestions that say something else besides " you need to up your calories" or "eat more to lose more".. The sad reality of it, is maybe we need to eat less ??? maybe at some point you may need to up when lifting and working on muscle. But to start you need a DEFICIT. If I ate more to…

is this a type and you meant 1700. I think we need to know her stats first before telling anyone to eat 2,700!!!! Unless this person is working out 6x a week and lifting and 6ft tall. I find it hard to believe a normal person trying to lose weight will have a TDEE of 3240!! Where 2700 is a deficit.. For a relatively short,…

OP- i can understand your feeling of over eating and feeling blaah and literally full of sh::t. Anyways a one day detox will not do anything for you. We can all argue till the cows come home if Detox/fasting has any benefits. Now for your current situation I would do a day of very light eating of fruits/ veggies. Stay away…
