[QUOTE]"bespoke" is one of my favorite words.

<div>It is one of my favorites right now too. Whenever I learn a new word I'm like a little kid with a new toy...overuse overuse overuse. I've pronounced many things bespoke recently that just flat out are not!</div>

Ditto. That's just unheatlhy. And so is your attitude about it.

My sister lost 100lbs on the new WW system in 15 months. I figure if she can lose that much, I can certainly lose the 60 I need to shed.

Posted by Elizabeth&PatrickL[/QUOTE]

No, you can't. I did HcG and it was 500 cal- I was exhausted. I quit after a week. In the last 2 months I have lost about 20 lbs by watching what I am eating. Yea, it took longer, but I didn't starve my body into submission.

aragx6 · June 2012

I've been trying to stick to the 1200 calories My Fitness Pal suggested and I feel ready to eat a rhino at just about every turn. No way could I eat half or elss than that. No way.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions or UnPop Ops or something? : Sounds like my fiance! He is so excited to get a "bespoke" suit for the wedding. He just loves really nice things...and buys a fraction in quantity to what I do. I get shocked by what he'll spend on one item, he gets shocked that I'm willing to buy clothes at Target! You're right, they'll wear black suits for a long time...it's a great investment that I have zero issue with.
Posted by Elizabeth&PatrickL[/QUOTE]
Yeah, exactly - the suit was an awesome investment. He's certain it's what got him his new job LOL. He's shocked that I think a $70 pair of Nine West shoes is expensive. Then again, I have a lot of shoes. When he told me how much his "work" loafers cost I nearly had a heart attack, but he wears them every day until they literally wear out. So it's about the same.

adamar15 · June 2012

I did the same thing, Spa (I know, I know) and all of the weight I lost came right back. It's hard as shiiit to lose weight the healthy way, but it will be so worth it when it happens.

I always thought 2000 calories was an optimal diet. Maybe I read too many labels.

mkrupar · June 2012

I confess, that after resisting forever, I broke down and read the Twilight series. And I did it in about a week. Terrible, terrible, writing, but I couldn't.put.the.effing.books.down. H was pissed.

rsanna · June 2012

With everyone talking about losing weight that really wants me to kick start working out again. The sweetest thing is that my FI wants to run/jog with me, so we work out together. Of course, my jogging equals his like hopping since he is like 6' 4" and I am like 5' 1". Other than that, I have gotten my FI to cut out candy and premade foods (like cookies from the store, or frozen meals). It is weird, but I feel better if I make the cookies, or if we make the pizza. Instead of sticking frozen pizza in the oven or buying a package of cookies. It has to be a little healthier right?

mkrupar · June 2012

And with that I'm out of here. Off to catch my train. I'll be back this evening sometime. Maybe.

Fiance is a former, and always it seems, English major who likes correct word usage and good vocab. Everytime I see the word bespoke now I send him a pic of or link to the item to check if he needs/wants it...you know, just to be obnoxious. I used the quotes cause it's his poncy word, not mine!

<div>Optimal calories is based on heigh, weight, sex, age, and activity level. Mine supposedly is 2100 calories but I only eat about 1500 a day. Because of my diet habits I still get all the nutrients I need. Basically, the concept is an average person needs 2000 calories to get all the nutrients they need. </div>

This made me literally laugh out loud. MFP recommended 1500 calories for me, I think... but that's because I put that I'd only like to lose 1/2 lb a week. I kind of quit MFP after 2 days though because it was a hassle.

Nope, not a typo. The drug is supposed to help you learn healthy eating habits and break the food addiction issues. But, it certainly put me the other way - into a much more unhealthy diet.

I'm shooting for 600 - 800 calories and not dropping so fast this time around.

Yep, it's stupid. And, I ended up flaring my lupus really badly and in the ER with inflammed kindeys after 2 months on that 'diet'.

Depends on what you are trying to do. 2000 is kind of middle of the road, and the "standard" put out there in Health class.

I want to lose weight. My BMR is 1596 so if I do nothing then I will burn 1596 calories a day. My diet to lose weight is about 1600 calories a day. I work out 5 days a week and lose around 1-2 lbs per week. When I get down to my goal weight/size I will be switching to a maintenance diet.

I really pay the most attention to my calories and sugar in take.

600-800 calories is not enough either. Putting your body into starvation mode is not the answer to weightloss.

StefffiC · June 2012

I'm insulin resistant, borderline low thyroid and just was not losing any other way.

I lost 4lbs last month, off the meds, on prednisone, with a more normal diet. LOL

ArynBaker · June 2012

Since I doubt you'll change your mind about the amount of calories you take in I am at least going to encourage you to mainly drink fruit and vegetable smoothies. That way you're at least getting most (not nearly the amount you should) of your nutrients in that crazy low calorie in-take.

The weight is affecting me, too.

I think if someone would treat my borderline low thyroid I would be able to lose weight like a normal person vs going to desperate measures.

I was a size 18/207lbs at 5'3, bmi of 32 eating 1200 calories, working out 6 days a week for an hour not losing weight. Go figure.
