Hey! Yeah- I am 5'2" and 221lbs, wayyyy over what I should be. I just started again 2 weeks ago! I felt horrible everyday and had no motivation to get healthy. I'm not sure what changed because I was dead set on not losing weight...but here I am and only after two weeks I feel a lot better and drinking a lot more water.…

He really does!!

It seems like everyone is pro fitbit. Have not heard anything about the Jawbone yet.

Thanks! Ill check it out!

That is depressing, but the more accurate the better! You're really active and I am so not at that level yet. I was planing on buying a bike soon since I despise running I'll check out that Garmin. Thanks! :smile:

I am grateful for my boyfriend. I am grateful for having a job. I am grateful for having a car to get to the job. I am grateful for food. I am grateful for naps.

That's a great idea!

I just weighed myself today so If I did gain any weight because of Thanksgiving, I wouldn't be surprised.

Ha- I like that!

Hey! Just take it slow don't try to do everything all at once or you will just get frustrated. I like to blog on MFP which makes me feel better because I am letting out some of thoughts and feelings. You could try that and it might make you feel better!

Congratulations and great job!!! I just started T25 so it's great to see the results from someone else! :)

Just for today I will do my 25 min exercise!

Add me!

Thank you- I'm trying to lose 40lbs but 30 would be nice as well. I am nervous if I give myself too many calories the weight just wont come off. I tried eating 1530 cals yesterday and that seemed slightly better with the hunger levels. I'll just have to keep adjusting.

Thank you! I weigh 230lbs and I am 5"2' female. I'm not sure of my bf% but I am sure its very significant and I classify as obese in some sort of chart. I also do not work out at this time. I am very non active. Right now my goal is to reach 190 lbs.

Thank you Emdeesea! Okay- So if my TDEE is 2190 and I would like to cut down to 30% of that then I would need to be eating 1533 calories a day and not go below that number?

Thanks for this!

Thank you both! I will do more research and see what works best for me!

Just for today- I will take my dog on a walk around the block. Just for today- I will not eat too many turkey tacos. :)

What is the TDEE method?

That is a really good idea! I have a desk job as well and I had my MFP at 1200. I am always failing because I always get hungry and crave bad foods. I will try adjusting my calories like you. - Thanks
