I think the first response is about my idea, it's an abnormal spike in the begining of weightloss that evens out and hopefully the loss becomes more stable. As for peeing a lot, you should be peeing a lot all the time if you're drinking enought water to help along with the weightloss, so that's not exactly any sort of sign.

My weight on my license has NEVER been the truth. Because I'm cheap I take old leggings and cut them into shorts to wear under dresses that way my legs don't chaffe when they rub together. And lastly, as lots have said, my "business casual" work pants...are yogas or in my case should be called bell bottomed stretchy pants.…

It's the scale. The difference between scales can be wild! My parents digital scale is 15lbs different than mine (mine is newer and correct) but they both refuse to use mine. So from here on out use the same scale!

Check your sodium intake, it's nearly impossible to gain ten pounds of real weight in a week, especially when you are watching your calories. Drink a lot more water and watch the sodium.

Eat more sushi than the typical buffet stuff, it seems like you like sushi enough so just gorge on that and you really won't be eating all that much. Even the fried sushi are better than a scoop of delish general tso's chicken. Trust me man, I feel ya. I love chinese, but sushi is the way to go. Rice and seafood, and I…

I hope the OP's dad makes the eating kale and dust joke at the drive-thru when he's staying sane with a little indulgence. :tongue:

I'm sure this is not going to go over well, but being someone who started very close to the OP size, I think that a high calorie restriction is what someone who has that much weight to lose needs. Here's where you're all going to disagree, in theory a person who weighs 200 lbs walks into MFP and says she wants to lose 2…

Jinx. My thoughts exactly. 1200 might not be much, but it's way more than what the OP seems to be eating.

Based on what you said you eat for breakfast and lunch, that together barely adds up to 500 calories, if that. That would leave you with a solid 700 calories for dinner, which if you're doing it right is plenty of food to fill you up and more than a toddler sized portion. Yes, you most likely should be eating more, but as…

Bump I didn't even think about packaged foods. How rude!

From the study's conclusion: Although meal size has crucial implications on weight gain, appetite, and glucose and lipid metabolism [18], combined timing and portion size has not been demonstrated. The strength of the present study is that it was conducted in a free-living population, so that the results can be easily…

Go out for sushi! I know that's only one idea, but it's actually a meal that I didn't have to change my coices at all and it's already low in calories. That is if you like sushi! I know this is probably preaching to the choir, but think of it like this, many woman would be exstatic for their man to take them on dates and…

You have quite the tall order to fill. That's a lot of weight in such a short time but I really do think that you can get close to your goal! You are close to where I was when I started (294), and mind you, that wasn't very long ago. I would love to help as I am trying to lose for a wedding I'm in, not my own, but equally…

I would love to be in One-derland! so 100 lbs need to go! - fatbitt :) Would love to have some extra support and success stories!

I have 40 pounds to lose to hit my first goal, i have a lot more than 40 to lose. More like 100 or more to go!. I need to be losing at least 2 pounds a week for sure. I am able to keep up with my low calorie pretty easily i don't feel hungry, but I am three days into the IF and it's not so bad. I'll find out when i weigh…

http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/healthy-chipotle-chicken-sweet-potato-skins/ This is sooo good, it's sweet potato skins with chipotle chicken and spinach on top. You aren't using the whole sweet potato and you dont need nearly as much cheese as they suggest, also when we made them we used the canned chicken in water for a…

Thanks everyone, I knew when it came down to it, that my answer wasn't going to be, "yea, eat like crap for a day, it's good for you" but there was always hope haha In my first two weeks of losing i had one relatively bad cheat day each week, but still lost way over the 2 lb a week ideal. so i was quite surprised, i'm sure…
