I lost fast right away as well....started at 360...went on MFP at 320 lbs. It will go fast at first....however it doesn't seem to me that you are eating enough...why limit so much right now when you will have to limit alot more later...I have lost close to 150 pds and I currently eat 1500 calories a day without…

Yes people treat me differently. Most people. My very very close friends do not. Society however does. People will look at me in the eye when I walk down the street or strangers will have conversations with me in a supermarket. That never happened before. I agree that I used me weight to protect myself from people, so that…

awesome job!!!!!

You can do this. It's super hard and the fact that your even aware and you have a desire is the first step. A lot of times there are reasons behind why someone is 100+ pounds overweight, it's not just a physical thing it's often a psychological thing as well. My only advice would be too look at it from a lifestyle change…

Thank you very much very informative. I appreciate it.

LUV!

I won't!!!! Trust me staying alive is more important to me then losing 2 pounds lol....just curious about the theory.

Yeah I'm not seeking medical advice just seeking to see if anyone else has been told this. I am not a complete idiot looking for medical advice on MFP or anything...lol...but that is an interesting thing your history teacher told ya :-)

Yeah it's all new to me..basically I had an angio that showed three 40 percent narrowings in my arteries and really really bad family history of heart disease. I have high blood pressure as well thus the new meds. I dunno what way is up right now. Just seems like weird theory to me as I have high blood pressure but perfect…

Trust me already doing that just curious as to if anyone else has been told this. thanks though.

My sodium levels are in the normal range though already, all my blood work is perfect. So makes no sence to me.

why thank you

awesome job!

150 down!!!!

way to go!!!! awesome job

I started in the 360's and have been lifting heavy since and love it...I think you should try it out....it works for me. Mixing both strength training and cardio.

I eat mine back and am still loosing...always have ate them back. It works for me. Just find out what works for you .

I'm almost at my two year mark at MFP and during my first year is where I lost most of my first 100 pounds.....you lose motivation because it's HARD!!!! Well that's one way to look at it right? :) I've been where you are at...I have months where I am just dragging my feet making bad bad choices..and I feel like a failure.…

Thanks for posting needed to remember this...Been the same weight since December...it's a struggle to hold on at times. You look great babe.

Hi I started above 360 at 6 feet. I am now hovering around 215.....it's a long long journey however it is so worth it. It's gonna be painful both physically and mentally, actually more mentally but you can do it. There will be weeks and months where the scale does not want too move but you just push forward. Best of luck.

I'm 6'0 and my goal is around 190 pds. Currently hovering in the 215 range....It all depends on your frame as well and how you feel. Some people that are this tall have small frames, I am not one of those.

From someone that has lost 145 pounds so far I do have lots of excess skin. I was obese my whole life and held most of my weight in my stomach. I strengthed trained the entire two years it's been now. I will need plastic surgery. I do not regret it. I hate looking down and seeing my folds of skin however I feel so much…

Congradulations...you got this...keep going!

lol It was really confusing sorry....I will try that. I set it to loose 1lb/wk...which put me at 1770...so there we go. Thanks for your advice and patience...ha ha.

Ok lets just say this...I am USED to eating them back. I am USED to always wearing my HRM when I am active. I think it helps me keep my heart rate up b/c I am always checking it. So I would prefer to eat them back vs another method. I am for anything though b/c at this point I am super frustrated. So just give me your…

It's hard to judge accuratly I believe on me b/c of my excess skin....but it was around 35 % a couple months ago based on one of those machines that you step on with bare feet (lol I have no idea what those are called)...the machine calulated that at 199 pounds I would be under 30%....I do know that my muscles,organs, ect…

Just based off various TDEE sites....and sorry to confuse I meant they tell me to eat around 2400 calories .. My TDEE is just over 3,000.

Ummm under normal daily activity it says 2,270.

I'll try it, thx.
