Need inspiration

cnb124

Hello all! I am looking for people that weigh over 350 pounds to share their success stories with me please. I weigh 332. I have lost 30 pounds so far and would like to see if anyone is having skin problems, like sagging skin, after reaching your goal weight. It is a concern of mine, but not enough to make me stop bettering myself. Thanks and congrats on all your successes.

hi you can do it, and good job on the 30 pounds, I would like to share something with you that I recently tried and it has totally motivated me, assuming you are otherwise healthy, please give fasting a shot, fast for one day, where you only drink water, I say this because it is like rebooting your laptop or computer, except that you are rebooting your body, and yes you can do it, the hunger only lasts minutes at lunch time or dinner time, so you just drink some water and off you go, if you weigh yourself the morning of and the scale reads 330 then it's fun to see how much you loose in one day, now this is not something you need to do every day obviously but it's fun to try, I was skierd at first, my mind raced with stupid thoughts, but I did it, and so can you

after the day of fasting, you are less likely to put junk in your mouth too, or at least I was, so I was like hey do I really want to eat a handful of peanut M&Ms first, I think not, ha ha

good luck to you, and we hope to hear back from you soon with an update, good or bad, just keep at it, the journey to success is not a straight line upwards it is made up of tiny spikes and huge valleys

I have the right to remain silent but I do not have the ability.

You don't need a reset. There's no such thing as resetting your body with any kind of food protocol, elimination diet or fasting. You've got to throw all of that happy horsesheet out with the bathwater. It's dieting dogma and mind warp.

As @ninerbuff says, all you need is the deficit. Aim for .5 lbs a week. You'll have a greater chance of actually getting there and staying there for the rest of your life. You don't need fasting. Fasting doesn't improve a poor relationship with food in any way whatsoever.

Don't start none. Won't be none.

You don't need tricks. Trix are for kids. You don't need elimination diets or overrestriction protocols. In the end, if any of those things really worked there would be no such thing as rebound weight gain with friends. You would not find whopping boatloads of people starting over and over and over again...without ever reaching their dream weight because it's always out of reach.

Extremes beget more extremes. They contribute to the All or Nothing Thinking with food. That approach, Shock N Awe won't do anything to help you find long term stability with your weight. Permanent weight stability is the goal. The best diet is the one that improves your health. Body. Mind. Spirit.
