I love pasta, but almost never eat it now... because 75g is so little... (before counting I was easily eating 3 or 4 times that). And I also used to measure cereal with a cup, I was eating double what I thought I was eating! At least weighing food teaches us portion control.

I gain fat in my face really easily... but when I lose weight, people notice right away because it comes off my face first. So if you lose weight, you will lose face fat.

I think it is totally doable. I am trying to lose 22 pounds in the next 5 months. I am already at a healthy weight so I am aiming for a loss of 1 pound a week. Its not because its your last pounds that it will take you forever to lose them!

I am sure you wouldn't look vulgar anyway... but if you want to lose 3 stone for your wedding, the surest way would be to postpone the wedding. Ok, ok not what a bride wants to hear. Edit spelling

Thank you all for those answers, they have been very helpful. I have tried some of your ideas. For example, the steamed green beans I couldn't even look at anymore were a lot more palatable once I stir fried them with a bit of olive oil, onion and spices. I also tried different vinegars (berry and honey), since I don't…

That is a lot of weight to lose in such a short amount of time. To compare, I hope to lose 30 pounds in 6 months :)

I am not a very imaginative cook and I am a picky eater. I usually use salad as a side to a main dish. I just put some salad + tomatoes + cucumber on a small plate and that's it. I don't use any kind of sauce because I usually don't like them. The saucelessness may sound weird, but I have always eaten this way. The problem…

I am a European 75B which translates into an American 34A. I can only hope I WILL NOT be losing any breast sizes! edit for spelling

Well I tried losing weight by counting calories and balancing my macros. I made a conscious effort to eat more fats and protein, even though I love carbs. I ate 4 eggs a week and cheese and meat... I am glad I went to a doctor! It turns out I have high cholesterol at 24 and my iron levels were pretty high too. I don't even…

Thank you for all your answers. I chose to start with Pop pilates for beginners (pilates is supposed to be good for posture and core strength) and fitnessblenders (they explain everything!). Maybe in one month I will try something new.

For me visiting your family is different from visiting other people. While visiting other people you need to be polite and take what is given. However, your close family is supposed to support you in whatever you chose to do. So if you choose to lose weight, they should make things easier, not more difficult! I am…

I had nausea when I went from a high carb diet (my regular diet) to an overly high protein low carb diet. It turns out I need my bread/rice/pasta fix. It doesn't seem to me like you are eating a lot of protein though.

Hello. I am 24 and looking to lose 30 pounds. Preferably before the end of June.

Well, I can't do a pullup. But my mum, who is turning 54, can. So age doesn't seem to be much of a factor.

I re-read my comment and the first part sounds mean. It wasn't intended as such. I just really think that sometimes excuses keep me from making progress (like it is not my fault, I have no control over it so I don't even try to control it).

Blaming someone else for your comfort eating is not going to help you. Even if you can't change this person's behaviour you have full control over your own. I would deal with the situation by confronting the person (since I am a confrontational person). Since you seem to be the exact opposite, taking it to the manager…
