MFP check in buddies?
Anyone want to be check in buddies for accountability? Just to exchange messages and touch base on how we’re doing? I’m finding that I do pretty decent sticking to a lower calorie range during the daytime. Then around 8pm I blow it and eat a bunch more. I have ten more lbs to lose after losing 30lbs. But I think some…

Losing weight after baby!
Hi, I'm 2 months postpartum and looking to start some form of trying to lose weight. I will take it slow as I know the weight takes time to put on so it will be a process and take some time for it to come off. I would love to have some buddies that we can support each other in this weight loss journey! Other mamas trying…

A Typical Day in your Diet
Hi All, Would any of you mind posting what a typical day in your diet looks like if you are eating in the range of 1200-1500 calories per day?

Help with weight loss
Hello, I'm trying to lose some weight, approximately 20lbs., maybe slightly more. It is after pregnancy weight. With new baby I don't have as much time or thought to put into it which had made it challenging. Can anyone help me with some ideas for relatively easy go-to lunches and dinners to prepare that are healthy, yummy…

Help with weight loss
Hi All, I'm trying to lose weight. I just had a baby almost 3 months ago, and have 20-25lbs to lose. I'm finding it a bit hard to lower my calories too much right away, but I am at least logging what I am eating and trying to be more conscious of what I eat. I'm not expecting changes overnight, but I am starting with small…

How many calories should I eat daily?
Hi, I want to lose about 10lbs, and wanted your opinion on how many calories I should eat daily. I lost 20 lbs, eating 1200 calories daily and would have maybe a splurge night once a week if I went out to dinner and had drinks, and just didn't worry about - this worked for me. Last few months I have just sort of fallen off…

Shorter girls, what are your maintenance calories?
Hi! I'm just trying to get a gauge of what are maintenance calories for those of you shorter ladies when you are at goal weight? I'm 5'2'' and weigh about 114, and trying to figure out what my accurate maintenance calories would be. This would help me at least feel comfortable when I am not eating for weight loss, that I…

Are my calories too high??
Hi guys, I feel like I've gained some weight recently. I used to eat 1200, and I lost 20lbs like that. But after awhile this just seemed less and less sustainable, and I was going over most days. I have recently started to do the TDEE-20% percent method and began eating 1500 calories daily. I was working out probably 5…

Trying to figure out the culprit
Hi All, I have noticed my pants that used to be big on me becoming a little snug. I have recently upped my daily intake to 1500 calories daily. I have calculated my TDEE at 1985. I work out 4-5 times per week burning about 400 calories each time. I am 5'2'' and last time I weighed about 115, but I fear it may be more since…

Calorie Intake on Workout Days
Hi guys! I'm doing the TDEE-20% method for weight loss. I came up with my number of 1,500 calories for daily intake. I know with this method I am supposed to eat 1,500 daily, and not eat back workout calories beyond this number. For days I don't work out, I feel great with 1500 calories. However I have been working out…

-One More Question Re: TDEE-20%
Hi guys, One more question regarding TDEE-20% - the number of calories I come up with eating for this method is 1500 per day. This works fine on a non workout day, but on a day where I'm working out I am netting under 1200. Is this right? I am not supposed to eat workout calories back under this formula - just 1500…

TDEE - 20% Method
Hi guys, I wanted to ask you about the TDEE-20% method. Does this work well for you all? I started off on MFP eating 1200 calories a day, and this worked for awhile. I lost 20lbs. I'm 5'2' and now weigh around 115ish last time I weighed, but my weight might have crept up a bit since then. My goal weight is 110lbs, but 1200…

Getting Back on Track
Hi guys, How do you get back on track after falling off? I've had a few days eating more than usual, and eating more yummy food than I normally do. Then I want to get back on track after all of this but I feel more hungry in the following days, as if this super yummy food messed with me and is making me crave it, or just…

Sticking within my calories
Hi guys, I had lost some weight, about 20lbs with eating approximately 1200 calories per day. I wasn't perfect, and I would have some splurge days once in a while but I stuck with it majority of the time, and my weight came off pretty steadily. Now I've consistently been eating more than that for awhile maybe anywhere from…

Help with Discipline
Hi guys! I've been on MFP for over a year and a half. I've lost 20 or so pounds, and I am not far from my goal weight, probably about 5-10lbs to go. I have been struggling a little lately with my discipline and motivation, and having trouble sticking within my calories lately. Do you have any advice for when you're close…
