@TimeToChange007 you can add me. I’m on my mid twenties. I’ve got around 70-80 more pounds to loose.

I picked it based on what is a healthy weight range for my height and age... Granted weight isn't everything. But the highest weight I "should" be is between 121-158. So I picked kinda between the two at 135-140. I'm more focused on BF% though rather than weight.

Science changes constantly. At one point fats made you fat lol. Now carbs are the enemy... Honestly, almost everything is fine in moderation. =) =)

I weigh everything and use a HR monitor. I also do my calories according to macros and because of that sometimes the calories "don't add up" because of rounding. If i'm on the go and I honestly can't weigh it, for instance my protein bar. I'm running late and just need something quick... Mine is supposed to weigh 50g. I've…

Eggs are prefectly fine to eat.... Like ANY food, if you eat too much of it (where you're only eating like one or two different things a day every day). But if you have a concern of anything you're eating, always talk to your doctor or dietition ( better choice!). Love doctors, but they aren't specialized in nutrition. But…

I don't sell shakeology and I'm not "brainwashed" (before that comes up), but BB actually helped me. I was able to get off some medications, my blood test finally came back normal after years of hormonal/electrolyte imbalances, and before I hurt my hip, I went from 220-160 with a 25% body fat from 34%. The products…

You have no idea how happy I am that yall know starvation mode is a MYTH. :smile: :smile: Just had to say that ... continue

Cheat meals are a very grey area.... I personally allow myself to have one once every two weeks. But I also follow iifym, so I'm not limitin myself to typical "healthy organic clean eating " type foods. I have a set amount of each macros I must hit every day and if I can make ice cream fit, I get to eat it. But do not take…

meal prep is key for me. I like having foods that are easily to grab and eat. I'm less likely to grab "bad" foods. Typically i try to eat the same thing every morning. Whether it be a bagel and an apple. Or eggs with salsa. Or a protein shake. Then I build off that. Try to make sure you eat protein at every meal. I'm not…

I'm looking to lose 60+lbs =)

general equation for weight loss is: (weight in lbs X 10 desk job weight in lbs X 11 moderately active weight in lbs X 12 highly active so for me I'm 208lbs. example if I sat at a desk all day... 208 X 10 = 2080. I'm wanting to lose 2lbs/week, so that's 7000 cals/week or 1000/day. But I workout and burn approx 300-350 cals…

Welcome @leannamvaughan ! I don't post here very often bc honestly the MFP app makes me mad on the message boards lol. I'm in an accelerated nursing program and work 55hr/week-> adulting sucks! My goal is to drop all the weight I gained from my hip injury (~35lbs). I'm just now starting to get back into exercise and out of…

Those comments drive me INSANE! lol. What does it matter as long as you are physically healthy and not malnurished (which can be over-eating and under-eating). I gained almost 40lbs after my hip injury since i could barely even walk for 5 months. But before that I always got the whole "don't over do it" "be careful"…

how far below are you?

I'm in!! First day back in the gym since my hip injury. Still on low imapct exercises (aka elliptical / bike) plus gonna start working my upper body tomorrow =) Day 1 went well =D I went a little over on calories, but majority was protein =D Anyone follow IIFYM?

15 days now ?? :) @hmarini1120

great job!! =D

Soo let me get this straight... Ex: Calorie Goal = 1600 Ate =1600 Today Exercise = 1200 Net = 1200 cals left If that correct @mollylayton ? Or do they just have a high exercise number and not eating a lot of their origional food.

I personally don't have parents who think that way. But I wanted to say you're doing amazing! It takes time and dedication to get above 100lbs on ANY of those =) I know hearing stuff from your own family really hits home and can be extremely discouraging. But just keep going! =)

Hi I'm Lindsay. I'm 25 and follow IIFYM. I'm currently out with a hip injury and need surgery. But I'm still following my eating stype (majority of the time lol. I'm getting back to it). I need to lose at least 50lbs =)

Hi Everyone! I'm so sorry to be late to the game. I just got my laptop back, it had a virus and MFP and I aren't friends on my phone for groups. Only logging and commenting on peoples status'. You should be called: Lindsay You are from (Timezone): Eastern Your weigh in day: I wrote 183 but it was really 193. I need to…

I'm 24 (wow.. That's weird to say haha.) Starting weight : 234 Current weight : 183.6 Goal weight : 140-145

Feel free to add me :)

I want to say there is a p90x3 group on here... But also a large one on Fb! Good luck and keep going ! I've seen AMAZING transformations from doing the workouts and eating healthy.

You've got this !! Feel free to add me as well. I'm looking to lose about 1.5-2lbs a week. Currently can't do anything but walk because I just got over mono. But I'm all about sticking to my eating habits to accomplish it :)

Welcome to the group! I've lived in the same city all my life, but hopefully I'll move somewhere warmer soon :) lol Feel free to add me as a friend. I currently can't exercise :( I just got over mono (just returned to work today) AND have a hip issue. So I'm just tracking my food right now.

I personally use www.iifym.com to set my macros. I love it :)

I think that its part of the process. I used to be a 18w (wide) in pants and a 1x in shirts at 234lbs. It took me a year and a half to get to a size 9 (approx 9inches off my hips) and a size medium shirt. I still see myself as "the fat girl" even though a few months ago I was in the best shape of my life (hip injury and…

I'm a nursing student but rent my own apartment. So I typically fix everything at home and bring it with me :smile: Do you live in a dorm ? What types of food do you have available ? Also feel free to add me :)
