    You need to deal with your situation, I know you're aware of that, but if you don't stick with it, you'll likely have a life full of health issues ahead of you.

    Double that--2400 calories carefully logged will be more sustainable and still have you losing at a good rate.

    As for recipes, grilled/roasted meat and vegetables are as easy as it gets. Realistically, you're at the point where just cutting out 90% of the "junk" and eating mostly veg, fruit, lean meat, eggs, and whole grains will allow you to easily lose weight. Just use the scale you bought and log carefully.

    Good deal!

    Just to expand on that spradish posted, you can eat whatever you like, as long as you stay within your limit, and are meeting your macros (fat and protein), but also remember that you can eat a couple leaner meals as opposed to one not so lean. It will take a few weeks to get the hang of it, but you'll pick it up quickly, and learn what the better choices are. Just be sure to get a variety, especially fruits and veggies.

    Again, listen to spradish....that's way too low.

    What did you figure your TDEE was?

    For a 400 lb person? No. Absolutely not. Think about the fact that nutrition labels use 2000 calories as their example for average size people's intakes.

    Hey Camm,

    I'm on a weight loss journey msyelf and the others in this thread are giving you solid (and frankly more expert) advice on how to do it.

    What I'd recommend is that you don't take on too many changes at once, that is one sure way to fail (speaking from previous attempts at weight loss).

    When i started my weight loss this time round I just started by getting used to getting up at 4am for 2 weeks, no exercise, just developing the habbit.
    Then i started adding walks to that, starting at 2mile walks each day, I'd add 1 mile ontop of it when i feel i could do more each day now I do between 8-10 miles walking a day.
    Then in December I started going gym 5 days a week following a weights system on BB.com
    and on the last 2 weeks of december i started a proper diet with macro/calorie counting.

    Perhaps this might not be needed for you, but for me phasing stuff in really helped things become habbits and it wasn't overwhelming. Anyways I hope this might be of help to you, best of luck - I hope you achieve your goals!

    Good job man. I myself am restarting my weight loss journey. Fortunately for me this is not my first time. I have lost 100lbs before then 50or so at a time. I'd always just let my weight get back up. Finding liquor really helped my weight gain full momentum. Anyway it started over late December.

    You are in good hands here. I didn't have a place like this on my journeys past. You have been given solid advice that I have to learn my trial and error and the hard way. On a serious note DO NOT subject yourself to a 1200cal diet at your weight. My fitness pal works and works well.

    I used MFP religiously for my big weight loss and I ate what ever I wanted. I just stayed under my -2lb a week goal. Over time I started making healthier choices just so I could eat more. Hey it worked.

    This community is hear. If you mess up don't give up.

    You've dropped 5 pounds in 2 weeks, which is good.

    What are you eating in a day as far as:

    Calories?

    Protein?

    Fats?

    Honestly i don't have control on whats bought for groceries so I've been selecting the healthiest out of the fridge.For protein been doing lean chicken and ground lean turkey which thank god is always in fridge lol and whole eggs.For fats from what MFP has been saying I've been on target everyday not over or under.Calories i have been doing 2,500 a day.Cut out junk,juices,and sodas as much as possible I've had the occasional diet coke maybe once a week to keep my sanity.

    Turkey and chicken will get you there. Throw in some fish and the occasional steak you are set.

    Learn how to cook vegetables. Okra with tomato's. Cabbage. Broc****. Asparagus. So delicious.

    You don't need Diet Coke to keep your sanity. The only two things you should be drinking is water and a limited amount of black coffee.

    What you will find is if you eat 2000 calories of good quality food a day, you will be full.

    If you eat 2000 calories of junk a day, you will be hungry.

    Sounds like you are off to a great start. Try to throw in any level of activity if possible with your injury.

    Man I drink like 2-3 diet cokes a day, nothing wrong with that if thats what you feel you need.

    Just try to stick to whole food ingredients as much as possible and avoid highly processed carbohydrates which are often times high in calories and not satiating. Volume volume volume in your meals is what well help. Often times my meal will be a big bowl filled with grilled chicken, some sweet potatoes, and a bunch of broc****, and I'll top it with some spicy hot sauce or some salsa, and maybe even a little bit of low fat shredded cheese. Learn to use your spice rack liberally so you can get lots of flavor into your food; bland food will just turn you off and eventually cause you to fail.

    Move your body often and try to stay busy, lots of walking will help.
    All it takes is consistency, effort, proper nutrition, good programming, and TIME.

    Don't be upset with the results you didn't get from the work you did not do.
