    I just want to try to get through to you...you are focusing on overestimating and cutting things yet you simply need to eat more. Your body is starving. That is why you aren't losing weight.

    I think this is not good advice in this instance. She needs to eat better not more.
    Once she gets a hold on eating healthier, then the whole eat more to weigh less might makes sense.

    In this instance i fear she may use that as a wild card to eat even more of those unhealthy things

    There is a lot of good information on this site, and lots of people who actually know about this because they have been succesful at it. Read the success stories, the ones i have read so far are all about making healthy choices.

    And again, more than the weight, think about your health and what you are putting into your body

    Again thank you all i think you gave me the kick up the bum i needed.

    Went shopping today and not a hot dog in site.

    my shopping list

    Wholegrain pasta
    mandarins
    apples
    broccoli
    cauliflower
    peppers
    mushrooms
    fish (basa- never had it before)
    tin of mackerel

    Cant do without tea but im working down the sugar to half a spoon

    Not having any coke today will save it for the occasional treat. and only if i have had a good workout

    Today I cant do extra exercise coz i over did it the last couple day and can hardly walk. damn being a friggin cripple

    will try to drink more water even though it gives me raging heartburn.

    I feel as if I have made a step (all be it small) in the right direction.

    Beautiful shopping list. Enjoy eating the fresher and more colorful foods. Don't forget to add spices... especially if you're leaving pre-processed, often overly salted foods, food with less MSG and salt may taste bland. Have a great day!

    And a bit more...
    I've found that higher quality tea tastes better and needs less sweetening. I like honey.
    If water gives you heartburn, something's wrong. Try a different temperature. I've got a blog entry with many different ways to drink water and options, see http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Robin_Bin/view/water-265761

    It's hard to make so many changes at once. For some people jumping in at the deep end with an all-or-nothing attitude works. Others need to introduce the changes more gradually. Find what works for you, and that may take a bit of experimentation -- those experiments will tell you both what works for you and what doesn't... so it's important to experience a few that don't work or you're probably limiting your choices too much.

    Sounds like you're doing great and have an excellent attitude!
