I personally don't do the fad diets. I just stick to the simple calories in calories out & some exercise. But I think if this works for you, you lose weight, & learn about healthy choices & nutrition along the way.. Then you go for it girl! :smile:

I take a daily multivitamin which contains Biotin & I've been steadily losing weight every week. Maybe try coming off the Biotin for a few weeks & see what happens with you weight.

I like your number 2! I think abouit that all the time! & how muh fun I'm gonna have buying the new clothes :smiley:

[/quote] THANK YOU! My grammar nazi is nearly uncontrollable when I see the misuse of these two words. [/quote] I know! I'm terrible for it! I get dessert and desert mixed up as well. It all went downhill after leaving school I'm afraid... Sorry :weary: [/quote] The way to remember the difference between desert & dessert:…

Wow this thread has gotten ridiculous. I mean you have people debating over grammar for goodness sake. Look, OP, I get that the excuses people make can be aggravating but if you truly wanted to help those people by giving them this tough love post of yours.. Why don't you just send them a message or post on their…

Yeah I don't reccomended this either. I've been wearing some comfortable spanx tank tops under my shirts daily just to feel a little more comfortable about my appearance until I can lose my weight.

This happens to me sometime too. Yes, just try & eat some higher calorie foods next time. Go ahead & get in the gym & do what you normally do. You'll be okay for today.

Sweet tea every day!

I really like this.

"Saying I messed up my diet today so I might as well just quit is like saying I dropped my phone on the floor so I might as well smash it into a thousand pieces." (Course we all know we're not on 'diets') :blush:

My favorite to eat is Honey Nut Cheerios with the vanilla honey flavored almond milk. I also usually cut up a banana to put in there also or some blueberries.

MFP yells at me almost everyday that I complete my entry. Try yelling back. Helps me. I say "WHY DONT YOU STOP BEING FAT?!" :smile:

1. Eat at a deficit 2. Drink lots of water 3. Exercise 4. Log food accurately 5. Eating 4-6 small meals daily 6. Talking about my success with others 7. Journaling 8. Educating myself on food & fitness 9. Cooking at home more 10. Love myself!

I have a couple good pair of spanx that I wear for occasions. Maybe that would be better for you.

I don't give a darn how it exits.. As long as it exits! :wink:

If you're eating at a caloric deficit, the only thing I can suggest is to get in plenty of cardio. Maybe 5 days a week at least 30-45 minutes.

Uh hu.. :|

I've tried this 3 day military diet. It clams you can lose 10lbs in 3 days. I did it & lost 7lbs in the 3 days. Guess what.. It all came back. Ooooo big shock, right? Lol. Can't remember exactly but the 1st day you get around 1300 cal, 2nd day 1100 cal, & 3rd day 1000 cal. I was so desperate, I was trying anything. I even…

Mine would be pasta, pizza, & chocolate. However, I don't totally avoid them. If I'm craving it, I just eat it as long as it's in my calorie goal. I try not to have them often though because they are high calorie foods which allows me less for the day. But yeah, those are my guilty pleasures :)

Hey! I'm 23 & starting weight was 183. I'm currently down to 160. My goal is to be around 145. I'm so jealous of people who have treadmills & other workout machines at home. Get on that treadmill everyday if you can. Maybe just 30 minutes. I saw you said you don't eat a lot during the week. I don't know exactly how little…

ME TOO! I do this like 3 times a week. Lol. Helps me though.

Hey Allie.. Don't be bothered. Not sure how long you've been on MFP, but you'll find things like this happen often if you post something. I posted something once a while back that I thought was just a helpful fun fact & people sarcastically mocked & were rude to me also. It upset me as well. I like getting on MFP but I…

Just to speak from my experience. I'm 5'6" 23 years old starting weight 183, current weight 160. When I first started running I could run only 1 minute at at pace of 4.6 with no incline. In about 2-3 months I'm up to running 30 minutes without stopping at a pace of 4.9 with no incline.

Every a.m.

I read somewhere that you're supposed to drink half your body weight in ounces. I just drink when I'm thirsty & I also go by the color of my pee.

Walking on the treadmill at an incline will help your legs.

This ^^^^ I'm a member of PF & love it.

Water water water & more water! :smile: Also, definitely take measurements. I didn't do this & really regret it. Especially if you're not seeing the scale move, you may be losing inches.

LOL!

My go to cereal is honey nut cherrios with vanilla almond milk. I also usually cut up a banana to put in it or some blueberries! Yum.. Could seriously eat it all day.
