I've been here for 7 months like it's my job and I've only just recently lost 1lbs...
you wanna know why your not losing weight.. look at what your eating for starters and i dont see no exercise added in your diary either.. Hunt's - Snack Pack - Milk Chocolate Pudding With Non-Fat Milk, 1 pudding cup and Nabisco - Oreo Cookies , 2 cookies are not snacks.. swap it for fruit.. you've skipped lunch big nono and your not drinking enough water.. if you want to lose weight change your diet start eating healthy dont skip meals and exercise and you'll find it will start to come off0 -
3 days.0

i would guess about 5 days...i lost 14 pounds in the first two weeks. prolly 7 pounds of water tho.0

Be patient.
Also, I'm kinda feeling like this chick isn't even real. LOL
MFP troll perhaps?0 -
IT took me a week.
Looking at your diary, I can tell you that I did not eat ANY processed sweets.
That means no cookies, no ice cream....
Your carb and fat content are way too high.
Only you can decide if you are willing to do what it takes to lose the weight and keep it off.
It's a committment to yourself. Eat healthy.
Processed sugar is not a food you eat if you want to lose weight.0 -
first 5 pds maybe 3 weeks.. then 9 months later

I lost my first 5 lbs in about 3 days, 17 in a month, but I've been hovering around 15-20 for the last 5 weeks.0

the first 5 came off the first week I started to pay attention to my food AND exercise at the same time! I cut out all the processed junk and didn't eat rice . I did allow myself pasta once in a while... being dependent on the government is not an excuse. you can make better choices and exercise! You can say no to cookies and bread. You can eat less and exercise more. You can... will you?0

I looked at her diary and other posts. I think she's real. Just a crapatarian.

I get my food from the state. Also, my parents go shopping. Not me.
You're 21.....go shopping with your parents and pick out some food. Or get a damn job and buy your own food.
I also notice you made a comment to the chick above about ovaries.....do you by any chance have PCOS? I do, and guess what, it is hard to lose weight no doubt, but I've already lost 15 since the beginning of August, and I haven't even been as active or ate as well as I should have. Don't be discouraged if you do have PCOS, you just have to make certain adjustments that some other people don't (such as watching carbs/sugar/sodium) more closely (and let me be the first to admit, I slack on it a few times, especially today lol).0 -
Just joined so I have not made it to 5 lost yet but on course to losing the first 5 in 2 weeks.0

Yeah, I went back and looked. Then I read some of her comments to see what was really her issue. She mentioned something about ovaries at the beginning (sounded a little problematic). I thought she might have PCOS (which is what I have, and it affects the ovaries). And I realized what must be going through her head...."These broads can lose a crap ton of weight eating less junk food but I can't?" I understand her frustration, but she really needs to check that attitude. Stress isn't good for weight loss either.0 -
It took about 2 weeks I'd say, it gets harder though, maybe you should try cutting to 1200 for a while, see if that works? :S0

I cut out soda all together and just drank water and lost 6 lbs the first week0
-
Absurd0

Lol!!!
Take your head out of your *kitten* would be a good start!!!!0 -
The first few days...water weight! When I was heavier I was losing on average 2lbs per week, and as I got smaller the losses were as little has a half pound per week.

I have PCOS, thyroid issues and a child who does not sleep (we're talking 5 hours a night). I know it's hard, but the tools are there. Adjust the macros. LESS carbs, less processed sugars. Up that protein. Don't eat back exercise calories if that's clearly not working.
And finally, BE POLITE to people who offer the help you request. Please & thank you may not burn calories but I've never heard them burn bridges, either...0 -
About 3 days.
It was water weight. I'd suggest buying a scale. Don't rely on the generic and homemade heading in MFP database. Unless you are making your own food and weighing every gram of everything you put in it then you are not being honest with yourself.
Also even if you are allowed to eat ice cream and pie and poptarts daily it isn't going to help you feel full during the day. I eat roughly the same number of calories as you do. I don't exercise hardly at all except a little walking and if I ate what you eat i'd be starving and binging on everything in sight.
Get honest, get serious and you will lose weight.
I get my food from the state. Also, my parents go shopping. Not me.
all I hear is excuses! Make a list for your parents if they do the shopping-get off your butt and exercise, or do your parents do that for you too? Not trying to be rude but get real-if you really want to lose weight you WILL do what it takes. Period and of story0 -
do you still have your ovaries ? Sounds like it.
bit of a snippy remark dont you think!! you make a post about weightloss then you dont like an answer that another user made causes what she's lost more then you.. then i dont think this is the place for you hunny... you need a good lesson in manners
Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. I was completely lost on that remark.0 -
I still haven't lost 5 lbs yet:). BUT after 32 years of smoking, I have been smoke free for almost 6 weeks. I have been working out at the gym 5-6 times a week, eating what I should and the amout I should so I am not dejected at all. I have been on thyroid medicine for over so many years I can't remember how long. I actually had my doctors appointment this morning and gained a few pounds but she said that is fine because of not smoking and changing my thyroid meds again. She said she loved how enthused I still was. I know I am still overweight a little but it WILL come off. I have gained a total of 31 lbs since quitting smoking and the first 4 weeks were replaced with the wrong kinds of food and no exercise. Now, I have been working out and eating right for almost 2 weeks. She even said I might not get to my weight before I quit smoking because of my age but I personally feel I will. I have more determination than I ever knew I had. If I don't, that's okay. I was way to skinny and not toned at all. Now I will be even if I weigh a little more.0

I looked at your diary, and the number 1 thing you can do to get that scale to start moving is eat more protein at breakfast. If you don't like eggs, try having a high protein supplement like Body Fortress whey powder from WalMart.
1. Eat 30 grams of protein or more at breakfast.
1. Eat 30 grams of protein or more at breakfast.
1. Eat 30 grams of protein or more at breakfast.
1. Eat 30 grams of protein or more at breakfast.
That's it. Otherwise keep doing exactly what you are doing. I guarantee you that you'll see a drop at your next weigh in.0 -
hahaha I couldnt help it0 -
