Elijah Muhammad was much more than a Minister. And whether or not He had education according to your standards, the proof is in the pudding. Get out of here with your negativity. This board is about making a positive life change. Elijah Muhammad talked about one meal a day in the 1930s, and now as "new meadows" posted,…

31 shines definitely give it a shot! I'll support and motivate you along the way as much as possible. But when you Make up your mind, you are UNSTOPPABLE!!

Thank you so much Jaroby! You are AWESOME!

New meadow thank you so much for that information. I am checking it out right now :)

My goal weight is 175

Yes ma'am! I'll be back next week with results, and the week after that, and so on until I reach my goal. Anyone who wants to watch my progress is welcomed to do so.

So yeah I'll be posting every Tuesday with honest progress! I hope this inspired someone. I sure am motivated and inspired myself!!!

I love love love how people like to TRY to shut you down, because they are unhappy within themselves. It's a sad sad world we live in today. But hey, I'm in good company because they did it to Jesus as well ☺ I'd like to inspire whomever I can with my one meal a day journey. Nay-sayers, go find some happiness would ya.

Round of applause for Golbat!!!

Golbat, to each his own. It's funny how doctors try to advise us on how many times to eat a day, yet they live just as long as we do, or sometimes an even shorter life span. My one meal a day was advice from someone who not only practices it themselves, but many others practice it as well. I've seen the benefits with my…

Usm , thank you very much for the advice! I eat a lot of navy beans and lentils so it fills me pretty quickly, hence the lower amount of calories. I'm excited to see what the second week brings as far as weight loss and energy. Maybe you'll tune back in for an update to see if ive still lost just as much weight ☺

Mother, that may be true. I'm not there on my journey yet though. How long have you been eating one meal a day?

Cathipa, I'm definitely not an expert. Just someone on a journey wanting to share my experience thus far. So please, miss me with the hating. Why do people get so negative? Lol!

Earl, I hear ya. Different strokes for different folks. But if you do a little bit of research the lining of the stomach gets severely worn out by eating so many meals a day. It causes a lot of health problems. So eating one meal a day is not only beneficial for losing weight. It benefits you overall.

I've been eating about 1000 calories in my meals. But they're healthy calories. I have beans, fruit, avocados, whole wheat bread, salad, stuff like that for my meal. I break my fast at 4pm. I sit down and pray before eating, and I really take my time with my meal, because it's my gift to my body for the day

Hi everyone! I'm WILL lose 60 pounds. I jus deivered my twin boys about 5 weeks ago and I'm ready to get all of this weight off of me!! I would love to have buddies to take this journey with!!

Well first I would hope that people don't use MFP to attack other people's opinions. But to answer your question, it's a cheat day because you are cheating yourself. If you eat junk food and stay under your calorie goal, you will lose weight. But you still may not have the body that you want, and eating junk food has other…

Hello! I've been at the healthy lifestyle for a month now. I work out 3 days a week and eat healthy food choices. The weight is coming off slowly but surely. I'm here to support you on your journey! ☺

Life style change is what I'm after as well. One day at a time. It's exciting. I wrote down my weight loss goals and I read them every morning as soon as I wake up. Try it. Feel free to add me!

Hi Lucy! So sorry to hear about what happened. But no worries, you can get through this, and I'm totally here for support. I have 70 pounds to lose. I'm making a lifestyle change and I'll take whoever wants to join on this journey! Feel free to add me!

Hello Amber! I am a mother of 3 as well! I have about 70 pounds to go. I'm here to help you along this wonderful journey. Feel free to add me! Don't forget to love yourself during the weight loss process ☺

Hello! Ive lost about 10, looking to lose 70 more! Lets get going folks! ☺ Feel free to add me.

I've learned that there is a difference between a cheat day and a re feed day. A cheat day is where you eat junk food or whatever your heart desires but within your calorie limit. A refeed day is when you go nuts and eat way over calorie limit to reboost your metabolism. I actually do both once a week and I've been losing…

Hello there! I'm LaReesha. My highest weight was 280. Im currently at 241 and I want to get down to 170. Just taking things one day at a time with healthy eating and exercising atleast three times a week! Feel free to add me ☺

Student?

Hello! I recently read this book by Tom Venuto called Burn the fat feed the muscle. You can get it as an ebook online for less than $29. I strongly recommend it. It has helped me tremendously as a beginner. There are menus in the book, exercise programs, everything. Its awesome! I'm here for support! ☺

Hi! Yeah that binge eating is no joke. I recently read this book called Burn the fat feed the muscle by Tom Venuto. The first chapter had me hooked. It had me write down my goals, and I read them everyday. That helps me with the binge eating. Try that! I'm here as support ☺

Hi! How was your first week? I've been at it for about three weeks! Its great ☺
