I weigh all my food on a scale and such. But 1200 cals apparently isnt cutting it anymore. So i guess ill try 1700...that just seems like ALOT of food to eat!

no typo aha im tall :)...and when i change my goal to 1 pound weight loss a week it says i can eat 1710 cals...but that seems like wayyyy to much :s

I didnt post this thread to be told that my friends are ignorant. I posted it to try and explain to my friends that the 'medias perfect weight' isnt applicable to everyone. My friends are all highly educated as am i and i dont appreciate rude comments. All i was asking was how do I explain to them that being a certain…

And your comment sounds very ignorant? Its not so much that there ignorant nor are rude. But more so that thats what theyve been taught is the perfect weight. 2 of my friends are food and nutrition majors and the other is a kinesiology major. So no there not ignorant, there well educated and just alittle confused.

Im 6'0 and 160 pounds...and all my short friends go on and on about how 160 is alot and how theyd die if they weigh that much...but they dont seem to get that 160 looks totally different on someone whos 5'3 !!!

Im gluten, wheat, lactose and nut free!

lol yeah i just avoid it / buy lactose free products. Im also celiac, have a peanut,tree nut and shellfish allergy

All of these recipies sound lovely!!! Unfortuntaly im lactose intolerent so no cheese :( and i have nut allergies :(

Thank you everybody so much! i only have 19 pounds left to lose and its starting to become more and more of a struggle! ill invest in a good scale!

I feel yea....im 6'0 and my significant other is 5'6

Try adding lemon and dill to it :)

Thats wicked!! where can i get it?! and ive gone from a size 14 to a size 10 but i dont regularly take mesurements

My problem further becomes that (and if you look at my diary on any usual day) that i only eat between 200-400 calories a meal. Thus telling me to eat even less seems like an even bigger thing to do!

Im not sure but its increasingly frustrating. I was very steady in my weighloss up until this point.

Im pretty sure my problem is a plateau...because up until recently ive been losing weight on a steady basis ( from 170-166 in 2 weeks)

For starters, im not 'stalling out' ive managed to lose close to 50 pounds in less than a year. Id call that significant progress. It hasnt been until very RECENTLY that ive had a harder time losing weight. Second of all i weigh and measure EVERYTHING

My Bmi at 6'0 and 166 pounds is 22 at 144 (my goal weight) my BMI would be somewhere between 18-19

I got the deficit number from adding up the calories i had 'remaining' everyday for 7 days on my fitness pal. Its a guess. Like i am eating and weighing everything. For example : A typical lunch for me : 1 1/2 cups raw veggies, 2 Iogo lactose free yogurts, 2 slices fat free turkey breast and usually some sort of fruit.

Thank you so much!! I think im probably a)way to picky b) eating way under what i should be for my activity level

Not a huge avacado fan (minus they make a great face mask) thank you everyone for the suggestions!

Im Emily! Im 20, from Hamilton ON :) Im super active especially during the school year as I attend University full time, Im looking to lose my last 15-20 pounds ! I have a desk job as well as I work as an office manager but i walk to and from work + the gym!

Im unfortunately allergic to PB :( as well as all tree nuts, gluten and anything with lactose...-.-

I understand how to muscle build, my boyfriends into weight lifting and body building and eats almost double what I do. But thats not neccesarily what im looking for right now.

Thanks everyone!!

im 6'0 and 166 pounds

i concluded my deficit by adding up the amount of calories I had remaining from my food diary (that could be totally wrong) and 1200 is what the app told me to eat.

i average between 1 hour and 2 and a half hours of excersize a day (50 minute walk to work, 50 minute walk home + hour gym workout) ive lost 45 pounds already and just joined here looking to lose the last 20.... im eating 10 times healthier than ever and working out more...hence my confusion

I log literally everything and measure all portions using a food scale
