Thank you Jacque and Terri for your support! I have a dial scale and I was thinking of buying a digital scale so I can atleast see 0.5 increments! I know its not much but any thing at all, even 0.5 if I see that go down will give me motivation! I have my drs appt on Tuesday so I hope all goes well! I am worried a bit but…

PS: Everyone else is doing so great! Keep it up and you all are on your way!

Hi everyone, I am a bit late but heres my weigh in for today! SW: 145 GW: 120 Feb 2010: 140 March 5: 138 March 12: 140 March 19 140 I am frusterated again for the lack of weight loss but I just had a blood test and my dr called me to go over some results. It may be throid but I really hope its not! The weights not budging…

Hi, Since I joined this site, I have also heard from a lot of people to eat back exercise cals. I tried it, and it didnt work for me at all! I gained and felt worse. I normally used to eat about 1100 cals and worked out about 3-4 days a week - 45 mins cardio and usually a 45 min walk every night and I was also 120 pounds…

Try 1oz of dark chocolate. It really helps me ::smile:

Thanks so much. I just placed a 5 pound weight on my scale and it came up as 10 pounds so I know for sure that my old home scale is definitely not right. I will probably buy a digital scale and use that as it would be nice to see weight even in 0.5 increments! I know that people have been telling me I lost weight, but I am…

Thanks so much for this! I was planning on starting something similar tomorrow and have mapped out my calories for the next few days. It is strict but I am up for the challenge and hope to see great results like you have. What kind of workout are you doing?

Thank you Phyljen! I will definitely keep at it and check again in a few days to see where the scale decides to settle.

SW: 145 Last month: 140 March 5: 138 Today: 140! I am so upset I am back up the 2 pounds I had lost. I had a bad week interms of working out and it definitely shows. I am not happy I have to struggle to lose the 2 pounds again that I had thought I lost, but oh well, I will make better choices starting today and hopefully…

I just watched it last night for the first time this season and they had the contestants working 8 hours by volunteering at the local food bank and teaching the contestants how it is going to be once they get back to working and then having to fit in a workout before or after work. I think they are trying to make it as…

I also asked this question and was told to eat back half of my exercise calories. I tried it for a few weeks and for me, I lose weight by not eating back the calories. I think each person is different, and everyones body responds in different ways, some people eat 5 or 6 mini meals all day and lose weight while others need…

I also eat Fiber One everyday for breakfast and it helps! I just finished reading Master your metabolism and emptied my house of all the plastics and toxic cleaning chemicals. I usually do eat organic produce whenever possible and sometimes organic milk but it definitely is hard to eat only things from the ground and with…

Jenn, Its great that you have lost 32 pounds so far! That is amazing. I am the same way as you, I am simply better off if I dont buy junk food. I made the mistake of buying those mini chocolate easter eggs, and boy, was that ever a mistake. I will just keep snacking on them, and if you think you will eat one or two then…

WOW, I was too upset to weigh myself today and lo and behold I am down 2 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!! YAyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :) Mar 5/2010: 138!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your encouragement! I know many people say 1200 cals is the minimum you need,but I always used to eat about 1000 cals a day for years, and it was okay for me since I never had a weight issue, I worked out everyday and was healthy. I guess 1 year of eating a lot more, and not exercising enough has really…

Hi Everyone, I joined MFP about 1 month ago and havent lost a pound! I eat pretty healthy for a few days and under my calorie goal, and work out and then when I dont see any results, I get upset and end up eating cookies, or a bad dinner since I feel like my efforts are showing. I normally weighed 120 pounds and then I…

\thanks everyone. I have never eaten more then 1000 calories in the last few years when i was at my goal weigh but I will try something differente and see if it works! thank you all for your input!

Thanks everyone and carriebean! I feel that way too. I will just maybe eat some more fruits or protein and keep at it! If I eat the exercise calories, it doesnt make sense to me because I just feel like...I worked so hard to burn 600 cals and now to eat 600 cals in food doesnt seem right. I would rather not eat the extra…

I have just today posted in the forums and I am so thankful for all your responses. I will try and eat more, and like othes, I am still scared because I dont want to gain more. I have always not eaten many calories about 1200/day and I never had a weight issue until this past year. I did get my blood test and thriod checks…

Wow thanks for the fast responses! I eat anywhere from 1200 to 1400 hundred cals / day. So does eveyone eat back the caloies burned in exercise??? I dont usually do that. If I eat 1200 cals, and burn 400 from calories I usually dont eat up the 400 again. I have a desk/office job and sit for 8 hours a day so I try and…
