Much respect. Everyday is a battle but its a fight worth fighting.

Its prob sodium ridden foods. I've been going out to eat, mainly tuna grinders and fried hot wings, even though portioned still might be causing gain even with a regular exercise plan.

I eat dairy but in small doses. Yogurts and a little cheese here and there. Great point. I log my food so I need to check my macros for fat intake. I workout 3 or 4 times a week, cardio based. I hardly eat heavy meals. If I did I would gain all of my weight back. After trying in clothes from last year earlier, I definitely…

peanut butter is my favorite. I work Reeses cup into my daily intake and have lost 15+ lbs since July.

I agree with this. I find I weight the least after a night of drinking Vodka, but watching my calories and staying away from heavy food. I drink a cup of water for every drink I have that night (I already knock off 80oz by the end of my work day as well). Saturday morning I wake up and see that I look thinner. That is the…

The FitBit ChargeHR set me back $150 but I use it religiously. I average slightly under 13k steps a day, up 5k steps from when I used my phone's pedometer. It has encouraged me to move more. It accurately counts calories from when you are moving and not moving. You are less likely to take it off, as with the phone you can…

Average 12.5k steps a dat using Fitbit to track everything from sleep, water intake, weight, etc

I would say it has made my social life much better. I feel 10 years younger, even though I am in better shape than I was 10 years ago. I am a lot more confident with my body and the way I see myself in the mirror. I like going out to be seen. It is not just about weight but having more disposable income is a big factor…

I track them to the best of my abilities. I log and judge portion sizes by eye, always picking the higher calorie option in the log just in case. I rather over judge than under judge so you won't be disappointed

Age: 27 SW on MFP: 277 CW: 239 GW:200 Finally got back on track from a 15 lb gain this year. I'm more focused than ever. Feel free to add me.

You and I have the same goal. I'm 239 and I want to get below 220 and then get to 200lbs. We can do this!

Great story. I read your Reddit page. Very inspirational. Friend request on the way!

Congrats. Thats an incredible loss. Hats off to you. Good to hear guys in my weight range going through the same fight. We will prevail.

This is basically my exact goal. I started MFP at 277 lbs. I got down to my lowest of 231 and fluctuated. I'm back on track at 239. 200lbs is ours to claim. !!!!!

i'm all for the "females only" thing but I did something similar to this and requested "men only" and the women went on a e-rampage and really felt offended. Double standard here?

OP, this is right up my alley. Perfecting timing on this. On Jul 6, I picked up a beaker set and food scale from Target. I realized that I wasn't eating 1800 cals a day but more like 2400 a day with my eye ball technique. I have been weighing food and measuring dressings out and have cut 12-15lbs the past 4 or 5 weeks. No…

Love the motivation and progression. Keep pushing. Your MFP fam is always here to support, OP

Incredible loss. In over 3 months too! Would love to know your routine and eating choices

This is exactly how i've been doing it

This is a very relevant thread for my situation at the moment. I cut 8-9 lbs during the whole month of July 2015. My calorie goal is set at 1600 a day. I often eat 1700-1900 of actual calories and leave an average deficit of 550 cals a day due to exercise. I don't feel hungry. I don't spend much time in the gym. 3 days a…

Omg..this is me all the way. I started my journey four years ago at 325, on the elliptical for 30 mins...two weeks later, 35 mins, and so on. Currently, I am 240 and I can run, walk long distances, bike up hill and long distances on the road, go up many flights of stairs and not feel like I'm dying. My advice is to start…

Yeah this is something I used to do.

Good way to look at it @vadimknobel

It is definitely doable. I've lost 5 lbs in two weeks so I am on track. I set my daily calorie goal to leave me losing 2lbs each week. I log pretty much everything and the results have been consistent. My macros are pretty solid and I still make room to eat the foods I love. I typically save my "treats" until the end of…

What if you don't lift weights but eat a good amount of protein and do lots of cardio but still stay the same weight? I got back into shirts that were too tight and have made great progress...almost every 3 or 4 days but still my weight doesn't change as much as MFP calorie goals account for

Congrats. How you feel now is how I felt last year. #TeamFit

I eat back my calories during the weekend. I'm very disciplined during the week and make sure that after exercise that I have 400-700 calories a day stored for wiggle room for the weekend

Pure Protein bars a pretty good. If you are looking for a candy bar, this product is not that. It is merely a nice snack to tie you over for a 2-3 hour period. I recommend eating it once a day on non-workout days and twice a day on workout days. At 190-200 calories, you could easily burn that off on a very active day.

Thank you all. I actually tried a Pure Protein chocolate peanut caramel bar (190 cals, 20 g protein, 2g sugar) and it tied me over for 2.5 hours until lunch. I think I will buy a box and that should do just the trick for my work week. :)

This is exactly how I approach it. As long as your monthly net calories are in the green, that is all that matters.
