The only melting they do is melting money from your bank account.

Hello fellow Missourian! I took a look at your diary. Even though it's only logged one meal, you will gain weight if you eat that many carbs. Flip your carb and fat ratios in your goals and you'll begin to see that drop you want. http://paleoiq.com/how-the-paleo-diet-lets-you-lose-fat-without-dieting/

Smoked sausage with cheddar cheese.

It sounds similar to the Eating Man's diet my mom used to go on. Eating under 1000 calories one day and 1500 the next. The eating days are the same ratio; 3 on and 4 off. It was very difficult for her on the under calorie days because she was basically starving herself those 3 days. It worked when she was on it, but she…

Look him dead in the eye and say "I'm doing it how I want to, so shut your pie hole".

Cowboy the *kitten* up and do it!

I hurt my back a month ago and re-aggravated it last weekend, so I haven't worked out at all. I'm still losing pounds because I maintain a healthy diet and a calorie deficit.

The scale is not your friend (an old saying), the tape measure is.

I weigh and use a tape measure. The weight may stay the same or even go up a little, but the measurements are still going down. Good enough for me!

I think spending money on special shakes is just a waste. Eating clean (unprocessed whole foods, and no flour or refined sugar) and maintaining a caloric deficit will help you lose weight. There's a lot of exercises you can do from a chair. Set small goals for yourself and when you hit them, set some more. You can do…

You need an understanding of how alcohol throws off the body's metabolism. And the pizza and chips are pure garbage. http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/fitness/weight-loss/how-alcohol-affects-metabolism.html#b

It's very motivating to see other people's progress in the news feed.

Whole grain cereal with almond or coconut milk is good (for a non dairy option).

Ask for the nutritional information for your meal. Chain restaurants have it available.

I'm going to lose 125. Almost dropped the first 25. I've had many false starts, too. I'm not going to quit anymore!

Gonna fight fire with fire

Hi Kimberly. I'm doing over 100 pounds too. 43 down is excellent!

My nephew is a doctor. He said that everything they do at a teaching hospital is performed under strict supervision.

I fully understand depression. For me, getting on a hiking trail helps to clear my mind. When it's raining, like it will be all weekend here, I have an Xsizer I get and do sprints during commercials. I almost hit 15,000 steps on this hike and did the equivalent of climbing 63 floors with the elevation changes!

Hi Holly! I'm doing 100 too, and not going to stop until it's done!

I usually weigh myself daily. I'll go a week with a pound or more increase or no change at all. My measurements show a decrease though. My brother in law weighs 20 times a day and keeps a log. OCD!

Absolutely.

I can't wait for the 4th of July cookout! I'm totally going to gorge!!!!

I have a Fitbit Aria and it's accurate. The doctors scale gets a lot of use and they probably don't calibrate it often. You could set something on your scale with a known weight (like a 5 pound dumbbell) and see if it matches the scale. Since you're losing inches, your scale is probably the more accurate.
