I am getting married in April and want to be my weight we met at ..135lbs. Would be nice if it were sooner though so I could find a dress that fit.

I do eat back what I exercise. So if I have 1200..I workout and get an extra 200-300 and actually eat about 1500 calories. Yes, the MFP set those calories and goals as losing 2lbs a week. I was at 1lb a week but thought it wasn't enough to get to my goal.

Wow..didn't know my personal experience with cake would be so interesting. I ate one piece of cake and a bowl of ice cream, and yes, after about 6 years of not gaining weight I gained 5 lbs in a week that was not water weight. Weighed myself almost everyday for years. It happened. Don't know why but it did. Could be…

I'm not one to ask. my weight fluctuates daily 1-2 lbs ..but 2 years ago I ate chocolate cake and ice cream for 4 days in a row ( as one meal a day) and ended up gaining 5 lbs in about a week! It was after a birthday and for some reason I just ate it 'til it was gone. The scale just kept creeping up after that and now, 2…

salads are actually a very good source of almost no calories for me. fills me up. if you do not put on such things as heavy dressing, cheese or meat there is virtually no calories in just vegetables.

see below

and I would also say do not eat nutritional bars or protein shakes unless they are low in calories..most of them are very high in calories and do not fill you up for very long.

Hi, I am about the same here as far as calories (1290) and I have managed to make it work. If you need some advice I can help. For dinner I had a huge vegetable salad with dressing, a bowl of soup, an 8 oz. sirloin burger and red wine. Plus I had 2 eggs with ham, a piece of toast and coffee for breakfast and 2 rice cakes…

I am 1290 calories a day and at times it is hard but for the most part doable if I exercise for just 20min a day. It says I should lose about 10lbs by mid-February but I honestly don't see that happening. I eat the most at dinner so I 'save up' calories for then. Then I can have wine and actually sleep well. I find that…

I am also on 1200 a day. I have just started three days ago and plan to do this for at least 3 months.

kgilbert1973 Funny that you got a job with more activity..so did I. I am outside and move a lot. Sat less and moved more and gained weight even with less time to eat or drink sugary drinks all day. I thought if I moved more I would lose weight but the stress of working for myself was too intense and I think may have been a…
