That is awesome!! Let me know how it helps your energy, for me that was the best part!!

That's awesome, keep it up, imagine what you will be at in another 6 months!!! you look awesome girl and you are BEAUTIFUL!!! Never stop going, feel free to add me and check out my pics, I lost about 61 lbs so far... It is people like you that keep going strong and share your story that motivate others to keep going…

I agree with you and I am going to edit my profile where i have placed this same story in the about me column. Thank you for the edit, I thought it didn't seem right when I put it in there. I just knew that I personally try to stay between a 250-500 calorie deficit, because I don't want to lose more than a pound a week

Thank you for liking my story, and thank you for reading. I will tell my husband, and thank you as well for your service, and your family too. Please see other comment that responded to you for your answer, I agree with sloth3toes, had a great response for you, and nailed it. But if you want to look at what your body burns…

Great Great and Awesome, this is the whole reason I wanted to share, to tell people that you can eat more, and you don't have to restrict as much as you think you do to still lose weight. I am so so happy you are going to adjust. Happy Happy smiles coming your way. Just make sure to measure correctly so that you don't get…

Thank you for the correction, i knew i might have been off with how many calories for how many pounds. and i agree with you, most people get automatically set to a 1200 calorie goal, or around there. but it is harder to maintain that goal, thats why it is better and healthier to eat a little more and lose a little more…

Oh I gotcha!! Well I really like the points you chose to highlight, all very important!!! You are a smart woman!!

155lynnie, I understand you want to lose alot, but if you take the time to research what your body really needs in calories, i feel that you may find you are eating too little, in my opinion. Just a few more questions, if you don't mind me asking, what is your height and weight and what do you do for work? Maybe I can help…

May be a silly question, but what is TLDR?

I got your friend request!! IM HERE!!! lets do this sh#znit!! knock out our dreams!!! strong is the new skinny!!!

I have no friends on MFP, but I have alot of work still to do even after losing 60 lbs the wrong way, now i want to lose a little and tone and eat healthy. Anyone with the same goal or even those who would just like a pal so we can motivate eachother, please add me!!! Feel free to check out my pics for those of you who…

Also, please feel free to view my photos on my profile, I just want you to see where all of that came from, it took me about 8 months to lose almost 60 pounds, and now I have self confidence, with that you can do anything. Never give yourself because you are the only one yourself can count on. you have one body and one…

I have to agree with her!! Do it for you. Start a list, which you already have, and spend everyday doing something small to reach towards those goals, whether it is education, or losing weight, or being healthier. It doesn't matter. If they are goals that YOU want to do then do it for YOU!! You will notice that once you…

I was kind of hoping for a gentle and natural solution, any laxitive leaves me hunched over waiting for it to work, i was hoping for foods that prevent and help it??

BuMP!!! :smile:

So many people need to read this, people eatting under 1200 calories have no idea how much more they can do with more!!

BUMP:laugh:

So does anyone have tips or advice on the "backed up issue"? we talked alot about everything else, but noone really touched on this subject and it is discouraging to be backed up when i want to check the scale but know there will be no change

This is a good sign, I too recently upped my calories because i was eatting too little, and if you are hungry more, that probably means one of two things 1. your metabolism is working better, meaning its burning through your food, WHICH IS AWESOME 2. you may not be getting the proper nutrients in your calories, making your…

Also, do not be afraid of carbs, i have started, since clean eatting, eating whole grain oats and an egg or two every morning, and my energy levels sky-rocketed, complex carbs are great!!! keep you from being hungry and keep your energy levels stable because it takes longer to process than the crappy simple carbs that are…

Darling, I don't think you should eat that few calories. i am 5'4 132 and i started at 194. i found recently that even i should not eat that little. try to google for a calorie calculator, find out how many calories your body really needs to live, and only subtract 500 from that per day for 2 pounds a week, or 250 a day…

thank you lula!! helps alot, i am glad i figured out how to post on forum, because it is hard not to want to fall back to lowering calories, i needed feedback like this and i agree about the metabolism

how many calories do you eat a day? are you still losing? P.S. you look awesome!!! keep it up girl

Thank you very much, and yes, i measure everything, i got really good at measuring when i lost all my weight, even have nutrition labels memorized, lol. I am technically the "skinny fat", i lost alot of weight and i want to keep going, but i changed to nutritional eatting to ensure i dont lost any more muscle, and to help…

Also, on the days i do exercise, to make up for calories burned, i usually have an apple and/or a juice drink after working out, but i don't add too many calories, because i know my calories burned is not what it used to be because i had knee surgery, so it is more of the fitness level for heart rate instead of advanced,…

about two weeks ago i started clean eatting, the first few days i dropped 1.5 pounds (probably from dropping sodium and water weight) but then after that for a few days it was slowly creaping up, by like .2 - .4 pounds each day. then i ran int the "backed up problem" and that did not help, so now i am up a total of 3…

I just wanted to share with you a similar experience for motivation. I used to weigh 184lbs, now i weigh 132lbs. I did it by running while I was still a smoker. I started out, I would run a quarter mile, I would cry, and want to pass out. Slowly adding a little each day, I worked myself up to running 3 miles a day, and…

Hey ladies, I am 5'6 and 133.2 pounds now for about a month, no matter how well I do, I ALWAYS calculate calories and drink a ton of water, but I seem to have plateaud. I really want to get to about 125 or maybe smaller, Any one have any suggestions?
