Started with the exact same stats as you, no one said anything, then when I hit around 3st loss people started making comments. Keep it up, you've done incredibly well to lose what you have and i'm sure you will continue to do so.

This is definitely going to end well ...

Thanks, this obviously will take some serious thought to make sure OP gets sensible advice. ... my serious thinking came up with this

Can someone give me the TL;DR version?

How tall are you how much do you weigh? what is your calorie goal currently set to?
-
Firstly are you in a position to be able to move out and away from your dad? it doesn't sound as though you are in a very healthy environment mentally or physically. You don't have to exercise to lose weight - you just need to get your diet right. When you have tried in the past have you set yourself unrealistic goals,…

A calorie deficit is when you are consuming less calories than your body needs. The amount you need is dependent on your stats and varies from person to person. If I were you I would use the MFP function to set a calorie deficit which is sustainable.

Maybe she's just not ready to take weight loss seriously, I think a lot of people go through stages of unrealistic yo yo dieting until something clicks and you start to think about food / health differently. For me joining MFP and reading and learning is what really changed my mind set. Why don't you suggest if she is…

Haha this is great!
-
No, terrible idea.

ETA - it can take a bit of trial and error before you find a goal you are comfortable with.

BMR = calories needed to keep you alive if you are in bed all day - not moving at all TDEE = calories consumed doing normal day to day stuff - obviously this will change depending on how active you are. - eating at TDEE should result in maintenance, no loss or gain.

At your size you could eat a lot more and still lose weight. What I would do is find out your BMR - this is the very minimum you should eat to keep your body going if you were in a coma. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/tools/bmr-calculator and it slightly above this. You will find it much easier to sustain if you don't make…

As it's Friday may I suggest the 10 pints of lager and a kebab cleanse - should have all your evacuation holes occupied tomorrow.

Reading the last 5 pages has sent me a bit perculiar. For a second I actually thought a kitten was climbing out of my screen :/

Hi, a couple of questions.. how long have you been doing this? Are you logging your food properly - weighing everything, including salad dressings drinks etc. Are you logging exercise/ - if you are using standard MFP entries you may be over estimating. All you need to do is burn more cals than you are consuming.
-
Well that's one way to lose weight I suppose.
-
I would say set a reasonable deficit that you can stick to - MFP may give you 1200 cals a day if you say you want to lose 2 lbs per week but this would be very low for someone of your size - you can probably eat as much as 2500 - 3000 and still lose weight (I am saying this without looking at all your stats but you can…

Hi, I bookmarked this to finish reading and only just got round to it. Hope you're okay OP, just wanted to wish you all the best. Just take things one day at a time x
-
Oh sounds interesting, will have to try and watch this one, thanks :)
-
Ah ok phew, I had images of a weird American remake where all the presenters are really hot and it's really over dramatic.
-
Agreed, I'm highly suspicious but I'll play. OP - I'm going to ask the standard questions. Do you weigh EVERYTHING? Do you log EVERYTHING? If you do and you are still coming in at under 1000 cals then you need to see a Dr. If not you are eating more than you think. Unless medically supervised you should not be eating under…
-
Haha it's weird you have Time Team in America - it's the most British show ever ( I assume it's a remake of the UK show?) Here's a "star" of the UK show - he's a bit of a legend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61lfmiAMC84

Completely un fitness related but I thought Searching for Sugar Man was really good.
-
It's not weight loss related but I thought bigger stronger faster was quite interesting - it's about steroids.

Maybe OP has a partner made of chocolate brownie Sorry any excuse to use this gif :)
