100 lb loss goal! new member needing assistance

Hey all any advice really appreciated :)

im 300 pounds 5'9 and my goal is 200 pounds

my calorie target is 2100 (seems high)

and my calorie burn in sediatary is 2800

so my question are

1.  I started 3 days ago and kept around the 2100 calorie mark for calorie intake, will my body protect itself and slow my metabolism? (I had no regards to my intake previously)

2.  If my exercise is really low is this still feasible? (according to tools I have a deficit of around 700 calories a day naturally)

3.  I dont schedule my meals, I just eat when I feel hungry (every 2-3 hours) but I make sure I stay in range of 2100 calories, will this affect me?

4. Does anything besides the Calorie In vs Calorie Out phrase factor in? eg: fatty food, sugary food.

Thanks in advanced :)

lol!

hey all,

I am struggling hard, been going out with friends alot more recently and the urges are so hard to beat.

but not to threat! still saw a drop in weight since my last weigh in!

253 lb sept 2 -> 240 lb oct 27th

Rychie,

Is there anyway we can help?  You know the drill.  Eat your own food before you go out with your friends.  Order salad and take your own low cal dressing.

Enlist your friends' help.

Rychie,

First, give yourself a hug - you have lost 13 pounds in about 8 weeks which is 1.5 pounds a week and a completely healthy way to go about it.

Second, as for when you go out with friends - I recently made a post in Weight Issues (I think) but it is in this group somewhere called Group Munchies in where I was talking about a regular Friday night Dungeons & Dragons game. There are always lots of not so good for me snacks available - I simply took my own - Baby carrots, apples, and oranges - enough to last all night. I also ate a meal before I went with lots of salad in it. I made it and stayed well below my calorie total for the night. 

Third, if alcohol is involved in your nights out be REALLY CAREFUL! These are completely empty calories and a lot of them. Plan for one if absolutely necessary and then switch to coffee, diet drinks, or water.

Good luck, we know you can do it and so do you!!!!!!

Come on back if you need more help.

Hello all.

Just an update, I finally broken my plateau of the 240 zone!

240 lb oct 27 -> 234 lb nov 9

I resisted temptations by just making better choices at fast food restaurants by asking them to remove cheese off my burgers and loading up at home before leaving to go out, 

Thanks for all the tips!
