  • I've actually noticed this too! I'll weigh myself as soon as I get up, then there have been a couple days where I start working (I work from home) right away and realize I haven't eaten or had any fluids yet. So I'll weigh myself again out of curiosity, and I'll weigh up to a pound lighter. I have a good scale but it's…
  • My mom got sick when I was 9, and family dinners didn't happen often. I was a super picky eater, so my parents told me that if I didn't want whatever they were making, I could cook my own dinner, haha. So, I always made what I liked to eat without any regard to health.. Usually pasta. I was SO active as a kid and up until…
  • I'm on board too! I've gained 65lbs over the last 3 years. I'd love to lose all of it, but I'll be very happy losing 50-55lbs. My husband and I are working toward a healthier lifestyle.

You need to eat 1200 a day (or close to it, as you did) in order to keep your body from entering starvation mode, but burning it off with exercise should be ok. I think most people would need more calories and feel…
  • I started at 140, currently 138, but I want to get down to 130 first and then eventually between 120-125. I guess I'm honestly only aiming for 125, which is 15 pounds, but this group is close to the weight range that I want to lose and I wouldn't mind losing an extra 5 lbs! I've only been on MFP for a week but I already…
