So far using MFP calorie goal is working for me. I am down 14lbs in a month. One small gain due to overindulgence on Labor Day. I don't think that is true weight gain (I didn't eat enough calories over to gain that much weight). I am now using fit bit as well to keep track of my activity and calorie intake. Good luck on…

I log everything even when bad. Used to I would be frustrated and give up. I am trying to change my attitude so I log everything. Labor day weekend I was so bad but I weighed and logged meticulously. Keep up the good work and you will reach your goals.

I use a nutri-bullet to make smoothies from usually mixed berries and kale or spinach for breakfast sometimes. I do it because I enjoy it. It feels me up due to the fact it keeps the fiber. But personally I wouldn't just juice since you lose all fiber. But that is just my personal opinion.

I agree you need some fat. I eat 1390 calories a day when not using fit bit and I stay satisfied but I eat LCHFD. I eat a lot of healthy fats and I stay satisfied. It is worth a try. I have lost 14lbs so far and I believe the extra fat in my diet is the key. Before I tried to eat similar to you lots of veggies lots of…

I agree with Kandeye if you are stressing out weigh in once a week. I weigh myself daily but that is because I like to average it out. I can tell you after a weekend of indulging (Labor Day) the scale went up 4.5lbs. It still hasn't came back to the prior weight but I didn't eat enough to gain 4.5lbs. I assume just water…

Hi Rosanna I use emeals paleo plan. I find that it is super convenient for me that way I know exactly what I need to purchase so it helps keep me on a budget. They have some decent recipes my kids like the diet and aren't bored of food selections so that is a plus. I feel like I could only find a few ways to cook…

Just didn't want to make a mistake and do the wrong thing and mess up what was working so well before I started using fit bit. I love the fit bit because it helps to motivate the exercise part of the equation just don't want to sacrifice the weight loss part.

So I should get my net calorie intake back to 1390 to maintain original 2lb per week loss? Because lower than 1390 net would be a greater deficit so that would be where I am not consuming enough calories and risk losing muscle mass instead of fat? Am I correct? Thanks so much this was my thinking but I am new to all of…

I have the negative adjustments enabled and set at sedentary. I just have a lot to lose so I really don't want to risk a loss. But I don't want to eat to few calories either. I always log my meals for the day at MFP goal and stay in my range so it would just allow me to snack with extra calories I burn. I am finding the…

I have been eating a LCHFD for the last month and I have lost 14lbs so far. I go for labs in October. Hoping to have better labs.

I have a question for all of you fit bit users. I just got mine last weekend and I have it linked and negative calorie adj. on set to sed. So do you eat the calories MFP adds? Fit bit says I have extra 500 calories to eat MFP slightly lower but significantly higher than average daily calories. I just don't want to eat…

Feel free to add me I have a lot more to lose than you always looking for friends. I have been eating a clean diet with higher fat content, also just bought fitbit flex and trying to add movement so I can lose weight. Good luck. :)

Betty, Hi I just started my weight loss journey (again) a few weeks ago. I have started this several times off and on through the years, I have been overweight for a long time. This weekend I was totally horrible with my diet. I ate everything I wanted without thinking about it. Normally that would be the start of the end,…

Love your tattoo by the way. :)

Excellent progress. WTG keep up the good work. Makes all the effort worth it. I like the idea of same jeans. I have a pair I can't even button yet that are my first mini goal.

I have been walking in the morning just because so hot in the afternoons here. Just a short walk due to injury but hoping that will be fixed soon. When able to go back to work I will have to workout in am since long drive and 12 hour shift means won't be home till around 9pm and leave for work at 530am. I love to get my…

Hello good luck on your birthday goal. :) Trying for 16lbs and 10000 average steps daily during challenge.

New fit bit user as well I would also like to average 10000 steps daily during this challenge.

I will join as well I agree 16lbs sounds doable :) here's to 16lbs down

It is a good thing one weekend will not hurt. I logged everything this weekend but it was a ugly amount of calories. I have a feeling I will not see a loss tomorrow. :)

I have a bottle with infusion basket. I just pop in some fresh or frozen fruit or a tea bag. I like that it adds a mild flavor so not just plain water. I have also found I don't mind plain water if I use Britta filter pitcher first.

Thanks so much for your help it just seemed a little high I have been eating at MFP goal and losing so I was taking calories burned with a grain of salt so to say. I have both set at 2lbs a week so that shouldn't be it.

Thanks for the info. I have been this weight for much longer than I care to think about. Who would of thought it could help build some muscle. Lol.

Back to paleo tomorrow.

Yeah thats how I am looking at it oh well it happened can't change it now. At least I have been honest and logged everything instead of acting as though it didn't happen. Holding myself accountable.

Kentucky :)

Congrats on baby. Here is to a healthy pregnancy for you and your little one.

I know how you feel. I started again this time I am determined to reach goal. I have a lot more to lose than you but it seems so much easier this time to log, and make myself accountable. Good luck you will do great. Congrats on new found determination.

135 here. Add me if you like.
