yay.!!! so the extra that I tossed actually belongs in my belly..... :sad: LOL... not sure i couldnt figure this out on my own.

cooked

I could see that if it were under... (I have seen that also). Now I am looking at all this extra mac n cheese and want to split it up. but at an extra 240 calories per plate.... Grrrrr :noway:

I think this has more impact than most realize. When I start getting sluggish it is usually becasue I am not eating enough... or if I am at goal maybe I measured something wrong. It's intresiting ahat a 100 extra calories can do for you when you feel run down.

Most people have probably noticed and just not said anything due to weight loss being so sensitive an issue. Do this... get picture from your highest weight and compare to current. If you dont have pictures to do this get them. I had a hard time seeing it.. heck still do for myself in a mirror. However when doing a side by…

The belt is stopping most dragging... but the pants really are starting to be way to large. The extra fabric is falling out from under the belt. I'm not complaining though. Just Happy!

Thanks!:drinker:

Just to play devils advocate here..... If you aren't weigning the individual ingredients I dont think it will make that big of a difference. For instance is that extra weight from bread or cheese? Maybe it was heavy on the veggies and light on the meat. :laugh: Without knowing where the discrepancy is just weighing it…

Awesome job! :drinker:

I can totally see the difference. Good Job and keep it up! I didnt start noticing until around 30 lbs lost. I only weigh weekly and I take a picture almost every week. When I was having issues with not seeing the weight loss I would look at the pictures..... At first even that wasnt helping... because I was generally…

MFP sets your calories based on what you want to lose per week. You just consume what it tells you.

I have currently lost 40+ lbs. I have over 90 to go. I am not 100% sure becaue I probably won't decide until I get down into my ideal weight range where exactly I want to be. Freind me if you like

After seeing the complaints about MFP and its calorie burn quantities I bought a heart rate monitor. Honestly I think of it as an investment in my health. I use the calories I get from my HRM and then enter the activity I completed (Treadmill usually). enter the amount of time and then correct the calories to whatever my…

My great big plates look so empty now with proper portion sizes. A 4oz steak is super small. I saw the video about weighing before I started good so I didn't have a chance to be set in to bad a habit.

My goal is currently just over 1600 a day. I eat back enough exercise calories to get over 1200 net. I also stay aware of the fact that I can add an extra 500 if needed and still lose weight (I don't often). So far only one week of struggle and I was on vacation. Best of luck to you and your goals.

Heh.. I use "No salt added" variety's of canned. Guess what.. They still have a low sodium content. I think that means no salt added for flavoring. Canning still uses salt. One of the reasons looking into Frozen. My wife does not need any extra salt.

Awesome... I pick out a variety of corn with more sugar... You are probably onto something here. Thanks

lol

adding this to try one day soon.

Congrats! That's so awesome! For me I like lots of little goals. Any time i cross into the next range I get excited. For example I am soon going to cross into 240's!

Well... even more good news ( I think). I filled out an online health assessment for my work. I think the last time I filled one out was about 5 years ago. My weight was listed as 269 so I have gotten below that weight from before the last time I started trying to lose weight by ten pounds. Start back to work today and the…

The calories seemed high.... But if i understand you correctly you ran almost 6 miles in that timeframe? I would say this is pretty correct. To give a comparison if I were to spend 40 minutes on the treadmill for only 2.5-3 miles my heartrate monitor would tell me 380+ calories. Of course I am still over 100+ lbs…

My first mile Pace today was 10:42. Compaired to the 17:30 last week I would say substantial improvement. There is no way I could maintain that pace for an hour but I call it a win for now.

I may have to try this.

I cant wait till I can post some progress like whats pictured here.

My meal plans are fairly simple. What ever I cook for my supper is also my last meal of the day and lunch the next day. There are occasional variance for this but at this point it has become about portion control. Though when I cook a meal thats higher caliores It can tank the day. Yes i have been all over the map for…

Thanks for the replies. I understand that 1-2 is still good, great even. My frustration comes for shooting for 4 and only getting 1. :laugh: I don't expect to maintain 4 but I thought with all the extra work load it should come off easier at first and slow down as I get to my goal weight. I intend to add some weight…

It sounds like you might not be getting enough calories early on. I just swapped from eating 3 times a day to eating about 6 times per day. 4 meals and 2 snacks. This has made it much eaiser to control my urges.
