Heavier people burn more calories. If you are using MFP to calculate then for various exercises it cna be overgenerous, so do as rabbit said and halve them, then adjust accordingly.

How is your diet suffering from carbs? Is it becayse you are doing a particular diet?

In what way will jogging tone your belly? Who told you this? Theres a limited amount you cna do to avoid loose skin and for some people it will be inevitable, depending on age, genetics, how much you have to lose, speed of loss, resitance exercises. As pointed out by the other jogging will burn calories which in turn…

OP you are only interested in people telling you its possible becayse thats what you wnat to hear, irrespective of whether they have done it or whether they are considerable heavier than you. Go low carb by all means but plenty of others lose weight with carbs, its the deficit that matters. You wikll also find plenty of…

I think you will find 2lb a week hard consiering how much you have to lose. Working out how many calories simply requires you knowing how much you need to maintain then creating a deficit of 500 per day per lb a week you wish to try and lose. That can be from eating less or burning calories. Work out were your deficit is…

I went back to basics and checked i was at a consistent deficit. I kept up with my exercise and then remained patient.

Ang what weight did you start at, with how much to lose?

This is awesome but you arent really being helpful to the OP are you. The ability of a 286pound man to lose is hardly comparable to a woman with less than 50lbs to lose is it.

Possible yes, would I put money on you doing it, then no. I think its unlikely. Just becayse one person has done it, doesnt mean you will be able to and the more you had to lose then the more attainable it is, the less, then the more unlikely. I despair when i see things like fast results and self imposed deadlines.

They are heart rate monitors and give you ifnormation first and foremeost on what your heart rate is. If you want calorie burns based on what your heart rate is then youd be better off sticking to only using it for steady state cardio becayse its unsuited for anything else. Cardio is where you are likely to do the greatest…

Im its unlikely to happen, try by all means, but dont get disappointed if it doesnt. Its about the deficit so you are going to have to figure out where your 1000 calorie a day deficit is going to come from. Feel your way into it and then adjust as you go along. It needs to be realistic and sustainable. Good luck.

You mean you are unable to start? Do it dont do it. If you cnat start then take it in small easily achievable steps and transition into it. COMMIT.

Healthy weight loss is suggested to be 1-2lbs a week. the 2lbs a week tends to be possible for those with quite a lot to lose as it becomes harder the less you have to lose. 11 in 4 weeks is 2.75 a week. You may get a water weight loss boost in the beginning. Imo too aggressive and unlikely to happen. Its not impossible,…

What franci said, bugger plate for me to deal wth the veg. I just pick a plat according to the amount of food thats in my meal.

If you need your sleep then that should take priority i.e quit class and do some home workouts. You are unlikely to keep up 4lbs a week. Why be concerned if they judge you or not? Exercise is motly for health and its not needed for weight loss, just a deficit is.

Depends what you are doing, what intensity and for how long. You should have at least 1 rest day a week and also listen to your body.

Are you freezing the chicken or just refrigerating? Id be wary of going over 4 days.

This absolutely, theres a worrying indication OP that you see the weight loss as being the solution to make everything better. I liked that thorsmom.

You searched? I just googled and it came up with http://www.organicvalley.coop/products/eggs/organiceggwhites/ I also looked on the MFP database under Organic Valley - Organic Egg Whites Its easy then to see the calories as all the nutritional information is on the link.

Id check your calculation again I got 1660 maintenance for your height and weight. You dont weight that much and you dont have that much to lose , even taking into account your height. You shouldnt eat below 1200 calories a day for nutrition reasons. If it were me then why not go 50% exercise burn + 50% food moderation for…

lol@ the gif How do you know the weight you lost was anything other than water + fluctuation? Clearlt you went back to your old ways so unsurprisingly it crept back, as siggsted above do it in a more sustainable fashion where you cna keep at a calorific level.

Id suggest you get some therapy/counseling to build up your self confidence/ self esteem. Lot of it is occurring in your head and its you thats done the damage, not from eating, but through your insecurity. Explain to your husband and just ask for his patience. I think losing the weight might make you slighly less anxious,…

Be well organised, do the basics right , make a plan that suits you and commit.

This, its a useful rule of thumb measure, but takes no account of muscle. It's nice to see everyone agreeing.

Then work it into your allowance or create some more calories with exercise. Geting guilty or feeling bad over food tends to do more damage than good. In this case it eats away at your feeling of wellbeing, so its unhelpful. If its common you like to try food in new places and it happens a lot, then just moderate (portion…

Thanks for throwing some light onto it. No need to be sorry or disingenuous though.

Depends on how I was feeling but eitehr ignored her or put her in her place. Imo think you have invested too much time into it, why have you let it get to you? Waste of time dwelling on it. On review id think she was trying to be helpful, if not a bit climsy about things. You are being defensive and let it get to you. In…

Sorry about your loss m8, perhaps its becayse exercise can be cathartic and it puts you in a certain place if you train hard. Your reaction isnt uncommon as there was a thread about this within the last month. It doesnt happen to me, but I cna see with your vulnerabilities why it wouild happen. Dont worry about it,…

Why ? Whats your logic? As someone who tracks fiber then you just get used to which foods have a lot and which do not. You should be more interested in getting your aggregate score to the recommeneded minimum. It mustifies me what you are doing and why. Keep it simple.

err i dont have it, its just food, eat it dont eat it. Log and move on is your strategy. What does guilt achieve? Complete waste of time and counter productive to your weight loss. If you are binging then figure out why, but the same approach applies log it and move on.
