I’m 32 and have about 37 lbs to lose. I am looking for female friends around my age if anyone wants to add me.
-
I just switched my goal to 1240. My diary is open.
-
Coffee, pizza, and beer.
-
Someone else mentioned the calories as well. I'm going to recalculate as I put that I was sedentary when I walk an average of 10k steps a day. Thanks for your input but I've been telling myself I'm not going to do it for YEARS and that hasn't worked. I need a plan of what to do when I get hungry. I do agree that willpower…
-
Yeah, I average 10k a day. Yesterday I got 16k. I do have a pretty active job I guess. I'll try recalculating my caloric goals. Thanks so much for your ideas and help.
-
Cereal sounds like a good idea :) I was also thinking maybe toast or crackers and fruit might be good? And no I am not eating back, but I also haven't been going to the gym at all. I walk a good amount at work but no strenuous exercise for me yet.
-
I did skip breakfast today. Although I don't every time I eat at night. I felt disgusted with myself this morning I think my caloric goal atm is decent. I'm doing 1451 and I'm 5'1"/29yo/167 lbs. I got it from a nutrition calculator off of mfp. Mfp tends to put me at 1200 and that is too much for me to cut at this high of…
-
Depends on the night. Last night I felt really hungry. I ate dinner but was still really hungry. Some nights I eat to comfort myself, like have a rough day at work and then eat pizza. I would eat more earlier in the day but I'm trying to cut calories to lose weight :)
-
Hey everyone, I'm trying to get back on track and would love some new friends. Especially if your diary is open: I love getting food ideas.
-
I'm 5' and starting at 163. Sadly I have no progress to show yet, though :/ Bumping to check out later.
-
I'm "starting over" again as I regained weight that I lost (and then some) would love some new, active friends.
-
Ladies, feel free to give me a friend request. I've got about 30-40 lbs to lose. I'm hoping to stay very active on here.
-
At your worst, did you see yourself as obese/unfit? Well, I am at my worst right now. "Starting over". And no. I still don't see myself as "obese". My BMI is currently 29.9. At 30, you are considered "obese". I don't know why I can't see it, but I guess I'm "obese" or may as well be. What were your go to excuses to be that…
-
Hey, I'm 27 and have around 20 pounds to lose. Feel free to add :)
-
I would like more friends, but mainly females in their 20's/30's with open diaries. I like to stalk what other people are eating! But I wouldn't mind being friends with all types of people if you are motivating and nice :)
-
Well, I'm not in a deficit because I keep eating too much bread. I wish I could eat it in moderation, but I haven't been successful yet.
-
^Yeah, thanks. My goal is to go back to eating "whatever", but eating things in moderation. Right now I feel like I can't stop thinking about bread and it's driving me crazy.
-
The HCG diet was the worst I ever did. After I spent a ton of money on stupid placebo drops, I ate 500 calories for days. I felt like crap and eventually wised up after like 5 days and quit. But yeah, I was very tired and very, very hungry.
-
Chinese food, at least the chinese food served in America. I don't know why I thought it was healthy before, but fried meat and some veggies with a sugary sauce over white rice is really calorie dense :neutral_face: Also, cream cheese wontons: I love those things, but they add up so fast!! Another thing that shocked me…
-
I kind of felt the same way. And near the end of my vegetarianism, I was getting frustrated because it was really hard. I still eat lots of vegetarian and vegan meals now, but I do eat all sorts of food, including meat. For me, I have gained weight, but I don't think that has to do as much with meat eating as it does with…

I'm 5'0.5" (very sad, as I used to think I was 5'1"...) and I'm about to "restart" and I'm doing just over 1400 calories a day plus eating back my exercise calories. I've tried 1200 in the past and it makes me very lethargic and moody. Maybe try losing less per week if you're at a lower weight, and make sure to set your…
-
Anything by David Sedaris. If you have the sense of humor for him...
-
I have eaten 3/4-1 whole medium pizza by myself. ....more than once.
-
And to answer your question: anything you like that is within your daily calorie limit. I personally enjoy spicy chicken nuggets and/or a Jr Bacon cheeseburger.
-
What!? Wendy's has poutine?!
-
I'm 5'1", currently around 142. I'm hoping to get down to 115, but might settle for 120.
-
I'm 5'1" and am about 147 lbs right now :/ I want to get down to the 115-120 range. Anyone feel free to add me :)
-
My BMR is 1460. I'm eating at 1600 because it's between the active and sedentary. I fell off the wagon before now (have been on track for less than a week), but in the past I've lost on fat 2 fit numbers. I should be using the lightly active numbers, but since I'm just starting out, I wanted to speed up my initial…
-
For me, I prefer either Fat2Fit or Scooby calculator. I'm 5'1", and I can't eat at 1200 either. I'm hungry even at what I'm doing now and I can have around 1600.
-
I have a book by Men's Health called "Cook this, not that." and it has a lot of good recipes that are "guy foods". But everything has calorie counts and is pretty healthy. It looks like you can get a used copy pretty cheap if you're interested:…
