I don't need anyone "following me" There is nothing to follow I'm congratulating people for doing well and finding something that works for them. "You successfully ate less than most 8 year old kids" you do realize 1 in 3 children in the US are obese right? anywho if you are doing well on 1800 calories congrats to those…

OMG I laughed for 5 minutes. Not sure if you were making fun of me or just being silly and giving me jesus thumbs up in agreement of my comment lol. either way did i laughbecause that was funny! oh boy here i go again lol. Just funny.

This is not a study http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/you-are-not-different.html it's a link to some guy who has authored diet books.. Hmmm of course a guy who is selling something has tons to say, study however it's not. Oh look a convenient link to buy his books.... Sorry buddy not buying. And yeah let's ignore…

I'm not giving advise I'm giving encouragement to people who are successful. Something this forum seems to be lacking. Instead people keep being told it's not sustainable you're going to fail. Even people who lose 80 lbs are being told they are wrong. People who have been keeping it off and they are still being told they…

800-900

Yeah we are all different, good luck and great job on your weightloss.

Thank you. Giving out advice as it were fact is unreliable.

Way to go! Congrats!

Everyone who is on 1200 calories and lost weight and found it sustainable congratulations. Great job , keep it up. I applaud your success, I don't think you need a study to prove how awesome you've done.

Agreed , putting tons of people down is so unhelpful.Yes!

Oh dear so very very wrong. Seriously, you obviously didn't read otherwise you wouldn't have made such an ignorant and uneducated comment. Do you know why so many people can live on 1200 calories and do "fine"? It's because just like everything else in your body, your metabolism and appetite are adaptive tools. If your…

So wrong on so many levels, you do realize everyone has different hormonal levels and everyone is indeed different. I'm at a loss for words. Please explain how so many people on 1200 calories are sustaining then? Tons of people are doing great at 1200. Just wow. THANK YOU.... Ugh... [/quote]

that was awesome

Op you will find a lot of bitterness, a lot of broscience and a lot of people being rude and judgemental. Some people would rather try to be funny and rude instead of being helpful, but you will also find lots of helpful, kind and supportive people. good luck on your journey to good health.

Op thanks for reaching out for advice. Eat my friend :) Eat healthy and work out and you will lose weight. But I think working out every calorie you eat is not a good idea and can be potentially unhealthy. Maybe eat the reccomended MFP calories and eat some of your calories back if you can but don't work out every calorie…

This is how much I eat and Im not starving myself this is how much i can eat. Kinda rude and judgemental. Someone could say to you have fun pigging out. I'm sure you wouldn't like that, I wouldnt say that to you but just think some people may think the amount you eat is way to much.

Same here I net about 500-600 a day I eat about 1300 before excercise. I go to the gym every day. I dont have any health issues i feel great. Lots of people dont even know what eating their calories back even mean lol and they are perfectly fine. It's up to you. Different things work for different people.l

/headwall

Thanks bud

This happens to me a lot I work out 2 hours and over a lot

What? What? What?

I'm not but wish I never said anything and did hide it. I'm not dieting I just eat a certain way that keeps me the size I am and healthy and I really only want to lose 5 more lbs. lost 58 lbs so far not doing mfp and been keeping it off for 4 years.. but anyways the moment i joined mfp I got advice I did'nt ask for, got…

I just ask "are you going to finish that chip on your shoulder?

About 1300-1400 daily . 700-800 net after excersise.

Sounds good to me. I naturally did this cus i knew nothing about eating calories back.

Yes one week I lost 7 lbs in 6 days. It happens and I was eating exactly how i eat now. Sometimes it happens.

I have to admit I laughed very loudly at this. But I don't mean any disrespect yall. It works for a lot of people.

I've never eaten my calories back. I lost 58 lbs and been keepign it off. Of course I didn't know anything about mfp nor "eating calories back". different things work differently for different people. Wow used many variations of different just now.
