AWESOME JOB!!!! I'm starting this next week!

Feel free to add me! We got this!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOO IM IN!

Thank you very much for the input...I log my calories burned straight off my elliptical. I did notice MFP tends to over estimate 20-30 more than I actually do. So it's considered unhealthy if I end up losing 2.5 to 3 lb a week? (NOT that id want to...im happy losing 2) Is this because I'm less likely to keep it off? Or…

Definitely not worth ANY side effects lol. Just curious with everyone's experiences. This will be my first stab at being active for weight loss so I want to make sure I do it right.

hmm what's 5:2? never heard of it! im just trying to figure out an easier way to get my calories without feeling completely starved. its a hard adjustment for me, i've lost 9lbs so far but I dont want to hit any plateaus either, its inevitable of course but i've heard the zig zag method helps with that!

ok! well those numbers were based off my height & weight on calculators i had used. i'll try that plan & see if it works out. no the 1560 isnt my bmr its what mfp set for me to eat daily. i think im gonna try this out! was the diet successful for you? how much weight did you lose?

Zig zag dieting is basically a lot of calories on day, then a lot less the next. or give or take a few hundred every other day. my weight loss weekly goal is at 1560 to lose 2lbs a week. Different websites calculate different intakes but i've been sticking with MFP. BMR: 2064 TDEE: 2477

ok! ill give this just a little more time then & see what happens. Thanks again :)

I really appreciate all your input!!! Thanks a lot!!!

i admit, ive been eating less than required hoping for definite weight loss. so ill keep up to the requirement. see, im a dumbass with this stuff lol :p

Thanks a lot! it said 1900. i dont feel completely starved doing it this way, but im definitely not overdoing it

Yeah I just started an account a few days ago to keep track. I dont expect weight loss at 3 days. but im wondering why im GAINING & if this is something that will even out soon or if im really doing something wrong? before I started this diet, I never ate breakfast or lunch. just dinner pretty much. so I dont know if that…

ok i THINK i opened it...lol. im very new to this site. I am not currently exercising right now, im somewhat active at work though. I dont have a scale for food, I just put exactly what I eat in on here.

I used the calorie thing on my account here, it says i'd need 1800 to lose 2lbs a week. I'm not really doing any specific diet, im just trying to stick with that guideline. running to the bathroom to crap is what I meant. lol. I don't understand? ive been drinking water like crazy. I probably sound stupid, but im new with…
