I really noticed a difference after I lost about 20 pounds... but it really depends on how much you have to lose. The best way to see a difference is to take progress pictures! I didn't think I looked all that different but I compared my current picture to my starting weight picture and I was shocked at how much better I…

1. Are you weighing your food?? 2. Are you logging EVERYTHING?? Many people will get on here and tell you that you aren't losing weight because you aren't eating enough. Wrong. If you were truly eating 1200 calories you would be losing weight. Period. It is very easy to underestimate calories in. A reasonable goal is 0.5…

I totally get that... they have to approach people, make money, etc. But I have told the same two girls at least 3 times each that I am not interested. I don't know why it annoys me so bad, but it does. I'm the type of person that doesn't like to tell people no and when I have to do it repeatedly for the same thing it gets…

I like a good weiner every once in a while... The Oscar Meyer Turkey Hardwoods are pretty good.

I cut dairy and processed foods (for the most part) out of my diet and my acne completely cleared up. I know this doesn't work for everyone, but it transformed my skin. Good luck to you!!

Your boyfriend sounds adorable :smile: I totally agree when it comes to true obsessive weighing, and that's definitely not the case with me. I just have a type A personality, anal if you will. I like to know that my log is as close to reality as possible. I feel like I am learning for the first time what a normal portion…

Legs (love/hate) and Shoulders are my favorite... I used to HATE working back but I've grown to like it much more.

I'm right there with you :bigsmile: I literally weigh EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth... the tablespoon of creamer and tablespoon of milk that goes into my coffee, the teaspoon of mustard that goes on my sandwich... everything. Some might call me obsessive, I'd say I'm thorough. :laugh:

I am currently taking Wellbutrin XL 300mg and since I began I have lost 20 pounds (in the last 2 months). I told my doctor I wanted to take this one because it is "weight neutral"... meaning it isn't supposed to make you gain weight. Some people say they lost weight without even trying but that's not the case for me. I…

If you are doing the TDEE - 20% method you do NOT eat back your exercise calories. Your exercise is already accounted for in that number. If it were me I would go for 1500 calories and then eat back half of my exercise calories if I felt hungry that day. If you do go for 1800 make sure that you are diligent in your logging…

Current weight 164.6 :bigsmile:

1. I HAVE to eat with small utensils... there is no getting around this. 2. I lick potato chips before I eat them... especially Doritos. 3. Chipotle burrito bowl, hamburgers, salads -- each bite has to have all or most ingredients in it. 4. When I am at fast food places I have to mix pepper and salt into the cup of…

Wow! What a difference!! You look great :happy:

I would definitely adjust your macros... you are feeling hungry because you aren't getting enough protein and your carbs are really high. I would do: 40% carbs 35% protein 25% fat Hope that helps and good luck to you!!

That stuff is horrible and I didn't lose a pound... btw it is against forum rules to sell or advertise on here.

I've heard of how difficult it is to lose weight while on steroids, but it can be done! Please don't give up! I think it can be an advantage to eat alone... you can cook exactly what you like how you like it without having to please anyone else. But I'm not much of a people person I guess. I really hope things turn around…

I'm lactose intolerant and avoid most dairy. Watch out for protein shakes as most of them use milk proteins (whey, casein). I am able to use Muscle Milk because it is lactose free. You may want to look into hemp protein if you like shakes. Sorry I don't have more options to share but I live a pretty fulfilled life without…

Where did you get the body scan and how much did it cost?

Thanks to everyone for answering! Good luck to you all!! :smile:

without

:heart: That's one of my favorite quotes from the article. :happy:

From Austin, TX... living in Spartanburg, SC. (USA) I miss Austin :sad:

Muscle Milk Light in Chocolate.... yummm!!! Definitely the best tasting, imo.

The weight of the banana that you want to log is without the skin.

About a week after joining MFP I decided to buy a food scale... seriously the best decision EVER. Prior to measuring and then weighing my coffee creamer I was using about 3 servings/cup of coffee and I would have 2 cups. That is 210 calories/day just on coffee creamer!! Now, I limit myself to one cup with one serving of…

:yawn: That's cute.

:heart: :heart: :heart: You mean, you are living proof that you can remain on a deficit and continue to lose weight? No way... NO WAY!? What next, unicorns? ETA: In all seriousness, thank you for sharing that. It's what people need to hear!!
