I hadn't really connected a lot of these things to weight loss until reading this thread (shoe size, cold etc. ) One not so great side effect for me has been hair loss, I'm not sure why but when I started to lose weight I started losing hair volume too.. weird I know

Well maybe dieting causes you to think about food more than you normally would which could cause you to eat more. Also if you are overly restrictive it could be making you hungry so that when you do eat you eat a larger amount. But I think what everyone else has said about water weight and checking your logging is probably…

I have an implanon and have lost weight while on it. 1200 calories seems a lot lower than what you have at the moment, why dont you try something in the middle if you know its going to make you miserable to be at 1200. If youre still worried though maybe talk to your doctor?

My main pet peeve is now that I've lost the weight my friends think its ok to make fun of overweight people around us in front of me. Being mean is being mean. Now I have to wonder if once upon a time they were saying the same things about me

I was so depressed when the first thing to go on me were my boobs - for pretty much my entire adult life they were the only part of me I liked. So I know how you feel. But now that I've continued on its actually improved because loss has moved to the rest of my body and now they look proportionately bigger compared to the…

I think, as someone already said, its all about figuring out the reasons and timing of your binges. For example mine are always after dinner at night time so lately I'll leave some calories for desert (usually a banana smoothie because they're one of my favorite things) but the catch is if i have desert I have to go to bed…

I lost the majority of my weight last year and for about 6 months afterwards every time I looked at my hands ( like when typing ) they just didnt look right - like they weren't mine. It was an odd feeling but its gone mostly now

for me it started with identifying what had made me fail in the past - a combination of being overly restrictive and using small daily failures as an excuse to give up. Now I avoid these by eating at a smaller deficit and practicing forgiving myself for slip ups. Also being in it for the long haul helps, I used to be so…

I'm 22 :)

Last year I substituted 90% of my meals with lettuce and soy sauce 'salads'... I lost about 30 kg but also about half my hair and was really depressed/ low on energy.. I dont know why I couldn't see how silly it was back then lol. It makes sticking to my diet now seem like a breeze though!

I've been on here a little bit just by myself but it might be nice to have some friends :)

I'm from Brisbane :)

The next few weeks I have exams so my first goal is to just maintain over that time. Apart from that I would really like to lose a kilo and be in the fifties. I wont beat myself up if I don't though because studying is more important atm. Its lovely to read everyone elses goals though :)

I am having the exact same problem. What someone said about keeping healthy snacks in your room is a great idea though - I've substituted out the cafeteria lunches (they always seem to give us pizza lol) for soups and things I can put in the microwave and which have the nutritional values listed. It costs more since I'm…
