    I have to admit, my oldest daughter (21) is 5 foot and weighs 95 pds. She eats and cannot gain weight. My youngest daugher (15) is 5'5" and weights 117. It is weird how they are so different from each other height wise and weight wise.

    I am doing my weight loss journey the old fashion way sweat and eating properly. If you would like to add me, feel free to do so!!

    I only fast during Ramadan loool :P

    I'm doing this the good old fashion way, I've had enough with eating 500 calories a day :P
  • This is the way it should be and I agree with deleting people who are fasting. Not good for the body and 85 lbs is only acceptable for children!

    Yup. :) I eat .. like actually eat. I like food and I lose weight. No problems here. :smile:

    No ED here just a matter of stuffing my face with too much food for too many years. Now I'm doing it the right way. It aggravates me to see some diaries showing 800 calories or so a day and I call them out on it. But everytime others will simply say WTG! Great on Staying Under! BS!

    My friends knew my conditions from reading my blogs. I vowed to be 100% honest and call it the way I see it. I also expect the same in return. For every time I encourage people to change this or that, there will be 15 others saying good job. D"ont understand it! I dont need or want a pat on the back when I do something totally insane. Heck I kick myself all over the place if I get 1190 and trying to get to 1200 for the day.

    Feel free to add me if you like honesty and want to be friends with an older woman who thinks 145 will probably look good on me.

    So feel free to laugh (and I'm totally not lying here when I say this) but the first thing I thought when I read the subject line on my home page was, "What does erectile dysfunction have to do with being friends/losing weight?" Haha. I kid you not.

    But yeah, I'm all for losing weight the healthy way by actually eating and exercising. So feel free to friend away.

    I hate when people do fasting cuz it's not good for your body at all! It's just a way to slow down the metabolism and lose weight slower. Not the way to go at all!!! Losing weight is about workong out your hardest and eating clean/healthy!

    Actually, short-term fasting is very beneficial -- we even have an Intermittent Fasting forum on here, which I recommend checking out. Having said that, that's mainly for bodybuilding -- cutting fat while maintaining muscle mass. It doesn't even slightly slow down the metabolism, and it boosts actual fat loss (opposed to muscle and water loss, which long-term fasting DOES). Then again, it only works if you eat properly the rest of the time, paying special attention to protein, etc.

    5'5" and 88lbs is repulsive...and scary as hell. Anyone encouraging THAT needs to be smacked.

    First, let me say, I read all the comments because the topic got me interested, I to did not know what ED was. I was thinking it related to education. Second, I really loved reading the comments, it's great to see so many people doing it the right way. Third, I would say friend me but I'm not on that much that I could really help anyone. And lastly, fasting is great for religious beliefs, maybe a day to get started on a backslide or a jumpstart, but I could never completely give up food, even when I fasted for 21 days for church it was a fruit and veggie fast, not a complete foodless period.
    Anyway, good luck to all of you out there and maybe we could all help those people with ED's get a grip on life. 85 LBS, you have got to be kidding me... my goal wght it 170.a far cry from 85.. LOL have a great day.

    Hi I have been using the Iphone App for about a month now and have had great success quitting my cola and soft drink habits, I am in for the long hall all year and maybe more to get myself down to a healthy weight range. I am looking for anyone who wants to Add me as a friend, my plan is to eat fresh fruit a veg and protein, not processed to start I have been using meal replacement shakes when at work just to get me on a kick start because I need to loose 50kg plus maybe a little more. I crave very healthy food now, a big change from 5 weeks ago, and I am researching nutritious food, heading towards following The Gabriel Method, as I have just bought his cook book and I like his whole approach to health and mind. Also starting in the gym in February three days a week.

    I want to become healthy not lose wieght. Fasting is the worst thing you can do to yourself in the quest to become healthy. If i get too hungry it effects my will power. So i eat heaps, but i eat crispy vegetable stir frys, yummy watermelon and frozen orange quaters. Pleae if you feel the same add me. If you want to starve please don't. Im in it for the long haul. Healthy eaters Unite!

    Wow, I didn't realize people were doing that on here, how sad! This site should be for people who want a healthy lifestyle, feel free to add me as a friend. Although I do not have a lot of weight to lose (about 10 lbs) I want to feel better and have more energy!
  • No ED here, and I'm very happy to be friends with anyone who also wants to live a healthy lifestyle!

    So it took me several posts but I finally understand what ED means. Hehe. I don't understand the mindset of starving yourself. Our bodies need fuel to survive. Anyway, your welcome to add me. I do love to eat, just trying make sure it's good portion sized stuff. :)

    I'm all for healthy eating and obtaining a healthy weight (I wanted to be perfectly clear before my next statement).

    There are many benefits to fasting, but given the tone of this thread thus far, I don't think I'll be very popular for stating any. For anyone who has an open mind to learn more about it, you might find this an interesting read: http://goo.gl/bwDem

    I will risk making one comment though (before I head off to bed)...I see multiple people referring to doing it the "old fashioned way", and not fasting. We were fasting long before we ever tried this whole six small meals a day idea, so wouldn't the old fashioned way be to include intermittent fasting?

    It's for this reason I'm wary of commenting when someones diary is closed! I eat loads. Just watch the chocolate and do some exercise :)

    I know exactly what you mean, it's really frustrating when I see girls who are my height (5'5) trying to lose weight from like 125lb to 100! I'm doing it the boring, normal, eating right and exercising (occaisionally!) way!
