Everyone on here is bashing a diet that isn't kept for more than 3 days. It isn't healthy to only eat 800 calories I am not going to say that it is. The best way to sustainable weight loss is a life style change. If you are only doing 800 calories for three days it should be fine to "shock your body". I would then go to…

You look amazing!! Keep up the good work!!

You don't have to eat subway all the time. I actually would recommend trying to bring your lunch so that you aren't faced with the difficult decision of turning it down...but seriously have Arby's every once in a while you can always get a small fry and diet drink. Their JR sandwiches aren't that bad. You just have to make…

This is looking much better! I would add some protein to your breakfast. Like a hard boiled egg or turkey sausage. At dinner if you are having the pasta option is this with the chicken? I would make sure that you have a good amount of protein with your dinner. If you are having problems preparing meals try doing it on a…

Your daily calorie goal is 1200...if you have 50 pounds to lose I would not re eat your calories at this time unless you find yourself losing to much weight. So if you have 731 of planned calories this means that you have 469 calories to consume left. Once you record you workout my fitness pal will give you back the 357…

First thing talk to your doctor before you take any supplements. Second there is no special or magical pill. Supplements may help to lose weight but changing you diet and exercising is what will cause the weight loss. I started taking BMR Bliss/Thyro Drive to lose body fat. I love it. I feel better and have more energy. I…

I am 5'7" and weigh 141 pounds. I try to eat between 1200-1400 calories per day and work out 4-6 days a week mainly cardio and circuit training. It depends on your goals and your bodies metabolism. Figuring our your BMR really helps to determine how much you should eat. Keep in mind in order to lose weight no matter who…

I publish my food diary...I think it's a great way to share your success with others. If you are having problems losing weight or can't figure out what to change your diet it allows your MFP friends to look at your diary and help you out. It also gives you ideas of what to eat or meals to make. Be honest when you judge we…

Everyone is new at some point in the gym. This is not the problem. The problem are the people who are on their phones taking up machines and not really working out. I encourage people to sign up for the gym and I love to see a gym packed full of "newbies". I just wish they would stick around longer. Getting fit is hard but…

Remember that Carbohydrates are not always the enemy. They do provide energy as long as they are good carbohydrates. It can take a few weeks to adjust the way you eat to fit the goals that are set for you on MFP. You may find that your body responds better to lower carbs and more protein or your body may respond better to…

Maintenance calories is a huge dilemma for most. The main thing once you reach your goal is to add back calories slowly. Be careful not to give yourself too many calories and gain weight back. I wouldn't increase your calories by more than 200 calories a day and continue to workout. Make sure that you are eating back your…

I had a recipe at work last week that was amazing!! It was grilled salmon and then had a mango salsa dressing with black beans over spring mix!!! It was amazing!!

Congrats you look amazing!

Great Job!! Keep up the good work!

I think you should go for it. Don't sign anything...check everything out...sometimes they offer delay entry. The college route is also a good idea unless it's just not for you. I was a AF reservist for 4 years unti I married an AD Marine. Make sure your contract says what you want it to say!! Don't sign anything that says…

300 calories seems a little high for a 30 minute walk but with if you are walking at a 7-10 incline then it is possible to burn that many. But like moodyc82 said if you use the manual mode you can put your weight in...

Congrats on your weight loss and your husbands too!! It is awesome that you did it as a family!! Keep up the good work!

Also, I just want to say do not get on here to bash other people. That is not what this is about. It is about giving helpful advice and sharing your knowledge and what you have learned.

I would say the problem is your body has become use to the type of work you do. It's like any physical job. Initally you lose weight from it but then after a while your body becomes use to it and no longer benefits from the weight loss aspect only from the cardiovascular aspect. If you can I would say switch up your…

I measure in the morning, clothes off you don't want to add any extra inches even if it's 0.2!!

You look great! Keep up the good work!

For sure!! Consuming the correct amount of water or more per day will keep you from retaining sodium...if you are working out it is very important to drink water to help flush through all of the proteins your body breaks down after a workout. When you lift weights you have muscle breakdown drinking water helps to get rid…

First take a deep breath!! Everyone has bad days!! I would say try to keep as little junk food in the house as possible. Also, don't completly starve yourself of the foods you enjoy eating...allow yourself to have an ice cream or whatever your favorite dessert is every once in a while. I feel like the more you starve your…

I think that cutting your carbs would be ok. Unless you are training for an endurance event a large amount of carbs in a diet is not necessary. Eating healthly can be very expensive don't break the bank just do what you can. It's difficult to begin to eat fewer carbs because our body wants them and craves them. An example…

I would consider a lap band over gastric bypass....gastic bypass is permanent and a lap band can be adjusted. People that I know of who have had a gastric bypass have a lot of complications and it's a very strict diet not just eating healthly. Make sure you look at both options before you decide.

Cottage Cheese!!! Tuna Fish is pretty portable makes a great lunch and is full of protein!

First I want to say all of you are an inspiration!! Way to go to all of you who have and are achieving your weight loss goal! My name is...anything is possible when you put your heart and mind to it!!

After looking at your diet I would say that things that have to change is the amount you eat out...it looks like you have pizza quite frequently. Even though you are staying within your calorie range you aren't consuming nutrtious whole grain type foods. I am not saying that you can't eat pizza on a Friday night or that…

I am not a certified nutritionists or personal trainer but I am an endurance athlete and a registered nurse. If you would like I can take a look and let you know what I think...

Jess, Looking at your diary I would say to cut back a little bit on the carbs...even though you aren't consuming what they recomend sometimes it helps to cut back a little bit. I also would try to consume more meals. Maybe try 6 small meals a day. Looking at your diary from Sunday it looks like you consume to pretty big…
