coo. thanks

I did but couldn't find it. It was one a member had mentioned at a mtg several yrs ago.

Thank you all for your encouraging stories/experiences/ words. It helps to hear from people who have been through this or lnow about it. Thank you!

Thanks for responding! The asthma is the only issue. He is a good height and weight. Really hoping and praying that the test was a fluke.

(bump) Active night. THis already got bumped out of "recent posts" :)

I can't remember EXACTLY but I think around 3 weeks at TDEE 30% Maybe 2 at 20%? I've been doing 1000 to 1200 for at least 4 weeks. I was doing 800- 1000 for a year before doing the reset :/

Thank you all for your responses! I'm gonna work hard to factor all of them in. I feel like I have the exercise part down, i'm trying to aim for 1400 cals today (supposed to put me at loss of 1.5 a week). Also trying to keep protein up and processed foods down. Unfortunately, i usually have SOME processed foods for…

Thanks :) I do enjoy exercise and almost always get in at least 4 days a weak. (I do Beachbody videos at home. I'm a homeschooling mom to 5 kids so getting OUT to exercise is not an option.) Thanks for your thoughts!

I do. I am in the obese range for bmi. I need to lose at least 55 more :/

Thanks. Planning to talk to my doc about this but couldn't get an appt. for a while :/

Thanks everyone

I don't remember how long.. maybe 3 weeks??? But i've tried (before medifast) to eat a more reasonable calorie amt w/out ANY success.

So i did this and mfp said 1200 :/

Anyone have success upping cals and NOT gaining weight or not gaining for long?

Thanks for responding.

:frown:

HOw did you get it measured? I think that's what i need to do :/

Church. Met when i was 14. Friends for many yrs. Married at 22. Been married 11 years.

Speaking only for me, i have no choice. I GAIN at 1200 or above. I tried the metabolism reset. After 5 weeks at at TDEE i tried eating a "reasonable " amt for a few weeks and kept gaining :/ No thyroid or med issues. I WISH i could eat more and still lose. Maybe others are in the same boat as me :/

Well, I'm not quite as tall as you (just shy of 5'10") but have a larger frame. It can be discouraging to see some poeple's starting weight as my goal weight, but i'm gonna focus on how i look, not the number. Good luck!

Wow! YOu REALLY don't look your age either! I'll have to follow your advice :)

I guess I'm the exception b/c it truly doesn't work for me :/ I wish it did and I hope the OP finds what works for her.

I would say try it and see. It does NOT work for me, but it DOES work for a LOT of people here. If it worked, I would be all over it :) So I would do trial and error. See what happens. Also, as others have said, maybe eat only half or so back as they seem to be overestimated. GOod luck!

Look forward to some of these problems. RIght now ALL my OLD body parts are annoying :(

YOu DEF. do NOT look 36. I need your secret !

BTW, I wouldn't want mine guessed :( Although, I did get carded once this year :)

22. Anyone right?

THat's what came to my mind too :)

My friends dh owns Art With a Pulse. In Glen BUrnie area. He does nice work :)

THanks! I'll check into that :) I really respect all of your advice and the info you provide! (Just wish my body would comply.)
