I've seen older post where people have charted it out. It's pretty accurate as a curve, but to see how accurate there would have to be charts and lots of math involved.

Yeah that wouldn't work for me, or many other tall people I know. I am already about 134lbs of lean body mass. Those charts don't account much for muscle mass or bone frame. I wear a size 11 ring, extended sized bracelets (my wrists are all bone, tendon and skin; they aren't getting any smaller), and can palm a basket…

I am 5' 10.5" with big bones (7in wrist circumference). I've never been under 220 so my goal weight is between 165 and 180. I really want to see what my body comp is when I get lower and decide from there. I know I couldn't go under 160 without looking like a skeleton with the skin stretched over it.

Look at my diary I went 1500 cals over yesterday. I am on track today and as long as I can/want to be. Life's too short not to enjoy the occasional reuben and beer with friends.

Then I would go with a chest strap HRM, which are to be worn during exercise. Fitbit is more for all day wear and activity, to count steps and estimate calories on more general activity.

If you have just started exercising from a mostly sedentary lifestyle then what you may be experiencing is your muscles holding on to water. I would give it a few more weeks.

It may be difficult going whole food and vegan if there is a lack of protein in your diet. Still there a recipes to make vegan cheese and meat substitutes (with healthy amounts of protein) at home that don't involve processed soy. I would suggest adding almond milk at least to your diet since most of the recipes call for…

Here are some vegan sources of Protein. It might be best to start supplementing with protein powder to start. Seitan, lentils, vegan dairy, vegan protein powder, nutritional yeast (used to make "cheese", and "meat"), spinach, beans, mushrooms, brown rice.

Probably flat bread.

I have about 100 more pounds to lose. Feel free to add me.

Yes please.

Welcome back! This is my third time back as well after gaining almost all my weight back.

As many have said I love Sabra. My favorites are sun dried tomatoes, roasted red pepper, and garlic.

As others have said I would cut your goal to 1 lbs a week weight lose. Also are you weighing your food? Even prepackaged food weighs more than the package says. This is a great post http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/872212-you-re-probably-eating-more-than-you-think?hl=eating+more&page=9#posts-17898743 You might also…

People need to understand the differences between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. Primary -actual peer reviewed scientific research studies. Can be boring to read, but usual the most accurate unbiased opinion. Secondary -Articles that reach conclusions based on one or more Primary Sources. Bibliographies and…

Depends on the yoga position. There are a few articles on poses that will help with joint pain.

Bump. Looking for a good HRM as well.

I found the best thing is low cal, high volume food. Vegetables, and lean protein (protein has the same calories per once as carbs do). I try to eat when I am hungry and stop when I'm not hungry any more. Cutting soda mostly out of my diet and drinking water instead. A lot of people confuse thirst for hunger.

So my weight shifts about 6lbs a day. depending on if I have worked out, eaten, or slept. So when where you weighed, and had you eaten? Best time is in the morning, after using the bathroom, before you eat or workout. Also naked or nearly so.

I also topped out at 310. Still have about 100lbs to lose now. feel free to add me.

When you lose weight and adjust your calories all of the previous entries will show you over calories even if for your weight at the time you where under. I just started making diary notes so I can see how many calories I was under.

Whoops I forgot about this last week Last weeks weight: 266.8 lbs This weeks weight: 264.6 lbs Total amount lost in challenge: 5.4 Amount to hit goal: 9.6 A little behind schedule, but I am still doing well.

Do you have a dietitian and or therapist that specializes in EDs? They should be helpful in telling you what kinds of food to buy. Also weekly meal plans will help with control.

The only way you will not lose weight is if you are eating more than you burn. Also have you adjusted your calories since you lost weight? 40lbs will drastically change the amount of cals you need to keep losing.

They same place they got "foot", "cup", "tablespoon", and "teaspoon" The entire imperial system has made standard units of measure of everyday things.

The OP has stated that she does eat desserts and her diet isn't very restrictive (has ice cream several times a week). Desserts are High Cal Low Volume food and messes with the OPs Sugar and makes her feel shaky. She's not saying she can't have desserts. It's that she doesn't want to 4-6 days a week 4 weeks in a row. I…

I sort my M&Ms by color and eat the least to most amount of colors (ties are broken by roygbiv order) Half melted is the best way to eat ice cream I like to eat the marrow from chicken bones. I have also been known to use chicken bones as a utensil For salads I only like 2-4 croutons completely crushed. (I don't care if…

You can add me. I did the same thing twice. lost 25 left gained 20. lost 15 pounds gained 15. Hopefully it will stick this time. I am try to get in shape for a friends hand fasting (fancy pagan engagement ceremony) this summer, and wedding next summer.

Yeah I have that problem sometimes. I just count as best I can and make a not in my entry for the day. We eat at my boyfriend's parent's house like twice a month and I just go with the flow.
