I’ve lost 15lb in 4 weeks, dare I hope?

[Veuvelily]

Still got about 5 stone to go
My fitness pal, logging everything, stuck to 1200 cal. Walking more, trying to do 10k a day. But average probably 8k.
I’ve been overweight for 25 yrs even though I was a very sporty teenager.
I usually get shaky, sick, headachy.
None of that
I don’t know what’s going on !

Congrats! Did you feel hungry on 1200 kcal?

I try 1400 and my stomach still thinks my throats been cut!

Well done op!

Do you feel hungry a lot? I'd be starving on 1200 calories.

It depends on what you eat. The lower the carb the better as the hunger comes when you get the sugar low after the high. On keto or carnivore you don't get the high so you don't get the low and the hunger.

Be careful. That is really low calories and when you the initial euphoria you feel wears off you will be starving and laying yourself open to binging. Maybe increase your Calories a bit to a more sustainable amount ?

Yes you can definitely do that!!!

My only tip for you is to continue to log food even if you have an ‘off’ day. 2000 calories is maintenance level so if you must binge, do it within the 2000calories and then pick up again the next day.

Well done! You’ve inspired me to sort myself out

It’s great that you’ve felt well @Veuvelily.

What have you been eating?

That is FANTASTIC

I can honestly say I’ve felt hungry once. But I’m not very strict about meal times. I eat when I feel like it. Sometimes it’s slightly over 1200.
I’m not concentrating on low carb, low fat, just old fashioned calories.
I have cereal w milk
Mainly prepacked salads, quinoa, beans, prawns, salmon,crab. Kirsty’s microwave meals.
Warburtons Danish bread at 61cal a slice
I have a cheddar with primula for a cheeky snack!

Yes I inspired too, currently walking around the house to reach my 10k steps!

Yeah I did cheat with a dominos pizza but I just logged it, only took me to 1800 cals

I like it when mfp predicts what you’ll weigh in 5 weeks if every day was like today.
I think that’s motivation.

yes I think logging honestly helps immensely,

Well done 🌸

I think it’s a bit of a tricky time now, the scales aren’t going to move as quickly , I’ll just have to keep at it

how are you @Veuvelily

Hi
Yes, all good
17 lbs now!

@Veuvelily

Hi Yes, all good 17 lbs now!

lord you're doing fabulous

24lbs in 9weeks!
Had 2 days when my calorie intake was mainly beer, but I just logged it, scales stayed the same that week, but they’re moving again.

That's an amazing loss. Logging everything on MFP really helps me too. Even if I've eaten junk as long as I log it I find it easier to stay on track.
