I've shopped at walmart before to grocery shop and can usually get out of most grocery stores spending about $115 on weekly groceries including some frozen quick foods for the hubby to take to work for his lunches. I try to bargain shop, I look at the circulars and see what's on sale and base a weekly menu off them. I buy…

probably roughly 100 calories estimated...

What is your budget? My family spends $150 - $160 for a family of 3, I get two packages of potato medleys ( red potatoes, purple potatoes, and yellow potatoes) I get 2 fresh bell peppers, 2 large yellow onions, two squash, white rice, peanut butter, low carb bread, boneless skinless chicken breasts, steak (if it's on a…

I don't keep any "snack" foods in my house, my 5 year old has access to fruit, granola, greek yogurt, chocolate almond milk, vanilla almond milk, cashew milk, various nuts, on the occasion I can get her to eat a salad, the only way she eats broccoli and cauliflower are if I bake them with italian bread crumbs and some…

I'm an inverted triangle shape, this photo is from last year when I had lost 70lbs. So I was 292lbs in the photo on the right, which with the weight loss it seems to bring out my inverted triangle shape even more.

I'm not tiny, I'm obese and pretty much sedentary unless I'm out walking or doing short sprints to boost heart rate. I'm under dr. supervision for the low calorie intake, so that's why I make it a point to measure accurately. Today is the exception because I'm going to inlaws and don't want to be lugging my scale and glass…

I ate more last week and exercised less, but managed to lose 4lbs weighing things and accounting for 90% of my heart rate monitor's calorie burn, the same way I'm doing now. The only difference now, is I'm purposefully trying to eat less to speed up the process.

over estimated how, i base them off my polar heart rate monitor and shave about 10% from my actual burn and I go out and walk or do sprints and walk. Dubious entries how? I'm not seeing that, unless it's based off today's entries... which infact are just guesses, as i won't be able to go and weigh everything I eat at my…

I'm there with you, but I'm eating much less in a day and weighing all food, some of which I don't even finish but never go back to correct. I try to stay under 800 net calories a day. I also exercise for at least 15 minutes every day, sometimes more when I'm up to it. I've stayed the same weight all this week with a very…

113g boneless skinless chicken breast seasoned with sea salt and pepper topped with 11g of newmans own honey mustard dressing, then baked. 64g of roasted carrots, and 2ounces of parmesean cous cous. All under 400 calories.

The 500 calories a day will make you feel miserable, you won't feel the effects of it straight away... but in the long term it's just not sustainable. I'd do intervals if you absolutely feel like you need do eat that little... 500 calories one day and 1500 the next, you'll still be eating at a deficit enough to lose…

I just log them as low impact aerobics and I always half the calorie burn mfp says i burned in the time period I did them... so say i worked out 28min doing the 2 mile, it ends up being 368 calories burned by mfp's automated burn, i half that so I type in that i burned 134... it keeps me from going over my calorie…

I stay at or under 1573 a day, and i'm much larger than you... I still eat pretty much what I want within reason... one thing i've had to give up... or eat as a side dish only is pasta... pasta tends to run high in calories... so make it a side dish, only use like 2oz of pasta and have a protein and veggie main dish. My…

This made me tear up, as I was about at your starting weight... i've made a little progress so far, and am much more active than I have ever been... I hope when my one year anniversary comes up, that i'll have at least half the success you have had. Very encouraging!

also the numb hands, light headed, and body aches could also be a deficiency in iron and potassium.

1400 cals is okay for someone of your height and weight to be restricting to to lose weight, what is your goal weight? If you feel you are always hungry, replace the foods you have been eating with higher protein packed foods, makes you feel fuller longer... also... be sure to eat back at least 25% of your calories burned…
