    Accept that it's OK to feel hungry - even explore the feeling

    If you've eaten your minimum calories and are under your maximum then you can eat something

    if you're at your maximum don't

    throw away your excuses - do it for a week, then for a month, then it becomes 2nd nature

    you're overweight for the same reason we all are / were .. we eat too much and move too little

    eat less / move more - ignore hunger 'pangs' / 'pains' - they don't rule you

    Yes I eat just 700 cal yesterday and today I was 40cal under my daily intake. Some scientists claim that eating fewer cal twice a week promot weight loss and longevity. .. have to lose the weight for medical reasons. i hate medications try avoiding it as much as i can so hearing my doctor suggesting injecting steroid into my ankle ( this carries the risk of tendon rupture) or loose the weight horrified me well that's when i decided to go back on MFP. Here I m taking each day as it comes and just trying to achieve my goal of the day...

    If you're doing the 5:2 you need to eat under 500 as a woman on 2 days and at maintenance the other days - that's your calorie defecit built in to the week

    you can do this - you have the right attitude and tools

    one day at a time

    Hello,
    Please take a look at my profile. My message is simple. It can be done if you are committed. No, it's not easy but you can never give up. We are of similar age and I lost 372# in about 17-18 months with no tricks or surgery. You are worth the effort. Set aside a period of your life to concentrate on yourself. Feel free to PM me.
    Best wishes,
    TB

    Thanks for your support . Eating just 700 cals was hard enough don't believe I can manage 500 cals limit regardless how desperate i m to lose the weight quickly. Not exercising much yet managed to lose 400 g... i think sticking to the program will help the numbers on the scale drop ...

    I have a problem with proteins, I'm vegetarian (guess im not very strict - still have a small portion of fish occasionally but I do not touch poultry and meats) so have to rely on carbs and veggies for nutrition. I know that reducing carb intake can make a big difference to weight loss

    protein is the only thing that controls my cravings. There are lots of good vegetarian/vegan protein choices out there now.
