Thanks for friending me! Good luck!

Thank you!

Some problems that come with too-rapid weight loss (we're talking like what usually happens after bariatric surgery, or when someone goes on a VLCD) include gallstones, malnutrition, loose skin, and (statistically) being more likely to regain the weight, because you haven't learned healthy eating habits. QUOTE: Loose skin…

Thanks for the responses! The ones I don't really agree with I need to look into more! I really am seeking health, I'm no linger obese, just over weight and am looking at all view points!

Totally agree !!!

I also do NOT believe losing it fast guarantees it will come back on fast! I lost weight at the age of 14 fast. 50 pounds in three months and kept it off for over 30 years. The weight only comes back fast if you return to the big calories.

My thoughts exactly!!!

I'm a fanatic with measuring and weighing with my food scale. I'm not really question 'why' I haven't lost this past month I'm playing with amounts on purpose trying to get an accurate TDEE. My question is more what has been successful for others, long term, for weight loss. High or low calories and why! I'm interested in…

Did you do TDEE minus a certain percent?

Eat it!!! I have it all the time! If it fits into your calorie goals ENJOY!!!! My daughter lost 65 pounds 6 years ago working AND eating at least one meal a day from McDonalds! She hasn't gained a pound back and still enjoys their food!

For the legs I don't use ANY weight yet! The exercises alone kill me and I need to work on form! I think you could easily get by with out the 20 and 25pound dumbells too! I do have a pull up bar and have a cheat strap that I love!!! I feel like I am doing a pull up but the adjustable strap is helping me!

Thank you! I will do this!!! I'm thrilled I lost so fast but my skin needs to catch up and my goal is also health!! I think I will stay off the scale for the next two weeks, weigh in then, and then stay off for the next 4 weeks! That will give me 9 weeks at the increased calories! Thanks so much!

THANK YOU!!! This sounds doable and reasonable to me! Do I try and stay off the scale for the six weeks too? Or just weigh weekly?

Adjustable a will work but it is hard to switch fast for the next set. I prefer my set of dumbells over the adjustable . I use 5, 10,12,15,20 and 25! I don't use my ez curl bar or a bench though!!

I eat less carbs due to stomach issues! I try to stay under 75 grams per day. I make sure I'm getting 100-120 grams of protein. The balance is healthy fats. My TDEE is 2050, use said to keep a small deficit ! Do you think I should stay at 1840 per week??? Only been at this for three weeks?

I too am looking for friends who eat more! I had not previously ate low calorie but at almost 200 pounds on April 27 I cut my calories to 8400 per week. I quickly lost 40 pounds! I still want to lose about 30 more but have realized I need to do this healthier and slower. Three weeks ago I upped my calories to 1850 per day…

Up until April 27, 2014 I ate very large amounts and had for 8 years! I wasn't yo yoing! Just go up on the scale. Gained 75 pounds in 8 years. April 27 I cut calories to 1200 and quickly lost 40. I'm shooting for health and long term results so I am totally okay with slower weight loss results but really don't want to…

I just started today too! Loved it! I have always enjoyed lifting so this is perfect for me!

One week! Yes I m sure mostly water but it had to come off at some point and I am glad it was fast,

I think we all need to find what works best for us as an individual ! I would love to eat more than 1200 per day and I'm sure I could and I would just lose much slower. I really don't want it to take the next year to lose my last 30, right or wrong I just don't! I will continue to play with my calories but find 1200 with…

Thanks everyone! I walk/ran today and think I may be getting one. Never carried my phone before and even with the arm band I did find it annoying. The plus is I found a stray dog and was able to call the dogs 'dad', had it been any other day I wouldn't have had my phone on me!

Let me know which one you go with!

Haha! I do hate having my phone glued to me!!!

I jump in full speed too! Even looking at this stuff is addictive! Haha

Skip the carbs and have a steak! I throw one on the grill almost every day! Okay I have some carbs with it, mushrooms and onions!!

It didn't even occur to me that I wouldn't be able to glance at my phone all tucked away when I ran! Thanks!

Really 1200 for the rest of my life????? NO! I'm on a Diet! when the weight is off I will gradually add calories back to my TDEE!!! Not sure why people think eating this way is permanent!

For me NOT doing a daily total but a WEEKLY helps a lot! I do 8400 per week and don't worry much over the individual day!

Feel free to friend me! I follow low carb and a 5:2 diet!!!

I personally love the feature as my week runs from Friday to Thursday ! I like weighing in at the start of my weekend!
