I think you need to keep being consistent and be patient. I don't know of how much you have to lose or how many calories you are taking in, so I don't really want to tell you to eat less. If you went from doing nothing to doing your intense workouts that could be stalling weight loss. I gained 7 lbs my first 3 days at the…

If you are set as sedentary, you are supposed to eat them back. If you're set at active, mfp is giving you more calories, so no don't think you are supposed to eat them. Either way, I wouldn't touch any of them if you aren't using a heart rate monitor. If you are using a HRM, try eating back half for a couple days and…

It gets better with time!! Actually, Easter was my first holiday where I didn't have a mild panic attack! And it was also the first holiday I didn't have a gain :) You'll hit your calorie "sweet spot". Your calorie goal will become your new normal! Just give your body and mind time to adjust. It's a calorie goal! Not…

Hahaha! I feel ya! And I guarantee I do not ever search "fast food"...or "cookies"...or sites for men with hair loss issues??

This is exactly why I love Intermittent Fasting!! I'm not hungry in the morning so I don't eat. My eating window opens up in the afternoon and I get to eat up until I fall asleep every night (if I want to!) It's a lovely concept, especially for night bingers :)

I don't know...I've been eating all the bread and have lost 45 lbs in 7 months. I don't think you need to avoid it, but if you are good with it, and it's working for you, carry on!

Day officially made!!! You're awesome! :)

This sounds...complicating...and it is precisely the reason I refuse to weigh my food! lol I say, log 25 calories and call it a day!!! :)

I eat it...because I like it! I don't see anything wrong with it, unless for some medical reason you aren't supposed to be eating bread. And if that's the case, I feel for ya! Love bread :)

I ended up adjusting my settings to sedentary and eat back my exercise calories as needed. I stupidly used the calories burned per mfp estimations for like a month...totally sabotaged myself! That's why I had to change up my settings.

Are you using a heart rate monitor for your workouts?

Some days you just want all the foods! Happens to the best of us :) And I'm literally LMAO at some of these comments, btw!

Amazing progress!! Whenever I am feeling unmotivated I always read the success stories! Gets me every time! Just remember, we can't be perfect all the time! And everyone goes through this at some point. Take it back to the basics, buy yourself something pretty, and hang in there!!! You got this :)

I had a withings scale...it would never "recognize" me....so I am still using my old cheapo digital scale. Stupid technology...

Yep! I must admit I gave up...

I set my mfp to sedentary, and then eat my exercise calories as needed. Some days I eat none of them, some days I eat all of them! But I'm in the process of losing some serious lbs...

Feel free to add! I'm 83 down from my heaviest and 45 down from August. Still have 40 to 50 to go :)

I just did it in February! Only profited about $15 lol but it was fun!

That's fantastic! Great job :)

Do you not ever eat at restaurants? It's just a meal. I think you are way over stressing. If you have this much anxiety about eating at a restaurant, you may want to request a different location for your date.

Eat before you go....and then order salad with no dressing...and water :)

I don't eat healthy when I'm not sick!! Lol! But seriously, I'm still recovering from bronchitis and a bad sinus infection and for a few days I just laid around and ate! It definitely made me feel better at the time! And I even came away from it with a hefty loss....So I say, eat that chocolate girl!!! :) oh and feel…

hahahaha!!! I love how this is still going on!! Best. Thread. Ever.

I have had 2 c sections. I was in the 290s for both. I'm 217 today! I will tell you, my stomach looks soooo much better! I think it will always be an issue for me, but by comparison? It's a major improvement! Hoping it will look better and better as I get closer to goal.

Yes and yes!!

Heck yeah I do!!! Condiments used to be my faves....now they ruin my life! Lol okay..that was over dramatic...but still. I hate wasting precious calories on condiments!

My heart rate goes up (by a lot) when I jog...which means more calories burned...I honestly have no idea if it burns more fat lol! I feel like I read somewhere that high intensity/shorter duration burns more fat than low intensity/longer duration...but don't quote me on that ;)

I can't even count how many times I have been told this!!! "You have such a pretty face" or "you are so pretty, for a big girl!" Or "I'm not usually attracted to big girls, but you are really pretty!" Ugh.....stop. I cant. People don't think before they speak. I always wish I could come up with some snarky comeback on the…

I actually don't weigh my food. And never will! I refuse to weigh everything I eat for the rest of my life. It's just not something I am interested in doing! LOL that being said, when in doubt? Overestimate.

1. 1460 calories a day 2. I only eat exercise calories back if I'm extra hungry (but only HRM calories! Not mfp estimates. They are sooo wrong) 3. Lost 44 lbs so far in 7 months
