Okay well I'm doing modified keto with maybe more carbs. I just don't know if I'm eating too little or too much calories to lose! A pound a week would be better than nothing at all!

I was just hoping someone could tell me what they're eating 4 calories and losing at so I could use it to help figure out which direction to go. I am 5'4 & 171 pounds 36 years old

So proud of you! A real inspiration! Keep it up! Don't let up at all until you reach your goal!

Totally understang! Me too sweetie! You are gaining muscles!!!!! Inches lost is awesome! I have come to the conclusion.... the number on the scale is not the point!! I'm upping my game!

my TDEE is 1950 (for light exercise for nursing) my bmr is 1418 but then I need to add 300 for nursing right? so my BMR is 1718? So I should eat at least 1718??? Help me with this last question!

Hahahah! I right now throwing it out the window would give me great joy! *snicker*

Really! 2 pounds a week is too much to hope for??? OK. Should I eat back/wtlifting cals? Anyone?

How do I figure my TDEE??? What I did was use the MFP settings wich is 1200 and then at "nursing mother" to my food wich subtracts -300 cals! So that is why I eat 1500!

I do lite weightlifting dvd for women! 2x per week! 3.5 lbs for 20 mins. It burns my arms and full body with squats, abs pushups etc. Is that enough to gain 1'2 a pound???

sortof right. I really want to lose 2 pounds per week and the only way to eat -7000 per wk is to go under 1200 (for me)! But then I went back to 1500! I'm all over the place now. I havn't wanted to track my cals bc I am very disappointed with my progress!

I am almost boarderline gaining wt! I eat 1500 cals and am nursing a baby so you would think I could see it slide off! Ugg! This is really hard. B4 the baby wt came right off!

Thanks! I am so bummed at the lack of progress! The scale is getting to my head! I almost feel like quitting somedays! I will keep at it and hope for a breakthrough!

Advice Please! :cry:

Get a scale that can tell you your body fat %! It's worth knowing that you are gaining muscle and losing fat! Don't worry about the number on the scale so much! Are you healthy? Fit? Strong? Happy? ...Go with that to measure by! Pushing through means changing your activities and even the types of food for your body! If you…

I fast one day a week and it makes the scale stick. So don't panic if you don't see a change right away!

I was only losing a pound per week. But I reallly want to lose 2 pounds! I had to eat under what MFP recommended! If you go to MY HOME and then his GOALS you will see your calorie deficit. -500 per day is one pound lost per week. -1000 per day is two pounds per week. Check it out so you know! I did and was only losing 1.3…

When I lose 10 lbs I get a pedicure! When I lose 20 I get a salon day, cut and color and when I get my BMI below 20% I will get a new wardrobe! ... and a hot body after 3 kids! I have 4.4 lbs to my pedicure! Oh yeah!

Oh please do not use a chemical sweetner! I did when I was pg and my son had a heart problem and had to have an emerency heart surgry at 2 days. Please watch anything on youtube under "splenda dangers"! Use Stevia! !00% natural! I do! I agree that between sugar and chemicals go with the sugar! Really It causes cancers! Try…

Totally agree! Go for it! :drinker:

Hi! Glad to see you wanting to work hard! I have lost 90 pounds between all of my babies so yeah I know it's hard! I eat 1200 everyday! (Now that I started on my diet after baby #3!) It can be hard at first. Your body will adjust to 1200 cals. You stomach will shrink, but drink a large glass of water before and after every…

I'm in the same boat. Just had baby #3 in January. I am 5'4". I still have a ways to go But I really want to get to 115-120. Before I got pg I was 125! I will tell you insanity sucks but it is sure to kick things up a bit. My plan is to get to 125 then do insanity! I would toally recommend doing some weights. Shake it up.…

I wouldn't eat those cals! We almost always eat more cals then we think. It will help you hit 2 pounds per week! Your body won't starve if you don't eat them! And you may hit your goal faster!!! Keep it up!

Hot mama! Good Job! You inspire me!

I am soooooo excited for you! I just had my thrid 5 months ago and I am just starting in on exercise! I really can't belive the pictues are 6 weeks apart. I really want to have a few more. Please message me or befriend me! I would love to hear the details! Thats like 6 or 7 pounds per week! Really?!!!! Keep it up! You are…

Don't eat back you calories!!!! I was sticking too! But this is really working for me! The calorie suggestion is that.. just a formula! Try and keep you sugar grams around 24! It hard but really revs your metabolism! I Did this and am seeing great results! Good Luck!

Change your setting so you choose to lose 1-2 pounds per week. Then in your food diary add- Nursing Mother, it will give you 300 cals extra. (For making milk) It's easy with these settings! I've lost a pound a week with only chasing my two other boys around!

Watch your cals! You can nurse the lbs away with clean eating and light walks and toning! I think I ate 1600 cals and in 4 months, after #2, I was back down! I just had baby # 3! And haven't done anything for 5 months. I just started my wt lose plan! You can do it!

Hey I just had #3! Congrats! I would say put your MFP on maentain setting and if you add "nusing mother" in your add food... it wil add 300 cals. This wil be the perfect amount! Don't give in and binge! Your hormones are telling you that you are hungry but stick to your calorie limit! TRUST ME! Also stay away from too many…

Question! My setting says 1200 cals no matter what I pick (ie seditary or active).... So If I want to lose fast do I eat back my exercise cals??? I am confused about what my body can handle w/o going into "starvation mode" and holding onto fat and/or dropping my metabolisim! I don't want to plateu!
