Welcome back :) I unfortunately let mine get out of hand. I lost 45 lbs and gained 35 back. You got this. My struggle is stress eating. I'm just taking it one meal at a time one pound at a time.

Frozen cherries.. so good and tastes like candy but fruit

People are trying to help you... why get mad. It is physically impossible to lose 20 pounds of "fat" in 2 weeks.. end of story. If you did lose that much "water weight" as soon as you started eating/drinking again you'd gain it back so NO it's not 20 pounds that will stay off like doing things the right way.

Exactly what everyone here is saying... it's impossible to lose that much "fat" in 2 weeks. Sorry slow and steady is the best way to go.. your way is not even possible

I've had 3 ACL reconstruction surgeries (out of 9 total) and my advice is listen to your doctor. Don't rush healing and listen to your body. Training will take time. I still can't squat a lot or lunge but I adjust and don't do it if it hurts. Also exercise that requires a lot of knee strain I'd suggest wearing a brace.…

I'd Love to join :)

I've been through 9 knee surgeries on my left knee so I understand your concern... swimming is great to. I started with that and have worked up to kickboxing and elliptical isn't too hard either. Good luck :) I had to start slow and listen to my body.

I can relate girl.... my boyfriend gave me an ultimatum last year.. lose weight or I'm leaving. At the time I was teetering at 190... Ive lost over 40 pounds and since then we broke up and got back together and now recently broke up again because I was still a bigger unattractive woman to him. Don't stay. It only gets…

Or a guy, who after losing over 40 lbs still tells you that youre a "bigger, unattractive girl he can't date" even though he's more overweight than you..... let's say he's my ex now.

I'd say myself.... I tend to sabotage my own progress by emotional eating and binging for days on end. Getting back up is harder every time I fall but I try to stay positive and work through my triggers.

I'm so sorry you have that going on. I struggle with PTSD from childhood and a traumatic event as an adult. Today was a rough day for me emotionally and I completely over ate... I did catch myself and finally just fell to the floor and cried. I'd love to help you and would love help ad well. I'll add you as a friend :)

Grew up in Kansas and now live in Washington state

I have. Last year he gave me an ultimatum.. lose weight by our anniversary or I'm leaving. It crushed me. It did motivate me to start bettering myself. I went from 180 to now 153. He wasn't nice about it the whole time i was busting my butt and after a while I realized it was mental and emotional abuse. I left last month…

I'm the same way. In fact I just caught myself after a 2 week slip up. Getting back up and back on the band wagon shows huge strength in people. I had to face reality and am trying to figure out what my triggers are that cause me to spiral out of control.

I love premier protein shakes. They have 30g of protein per shake and keep me full for awhile.

Last time I did keto/low carb I dropped weight really fast. This time around I bet I've only lost a pound this week. Should I drop carbs to 30 or 40

Keto is really low carb. Normally 20g or less. Low carb is more flexible. Some people do 50g or less, some do 100g or less.

Nuts ? Or peanut butter.

Count me in I love helping and getting help. :)

5 4 and weight 148. Trying to get down around 120 range and start training for bikini competitions. I eat 1200 to 1400 calories a day and doing LCHF

I just started a multivitamin today. I've also been trying up fluids a lot and take it easy.

I agree with all the above plus know that you're human... if losing weight was easy every one would be skinny. I fall off the wagon and get right back up and try again. Having to work harder to get back to where I was before a binge makes me think harder and stay disiplined for longer.

Hey there :) I'm also doing keto and will be doing IF once I get through the keto flu. Lol. I'd love to have support as well as give it :)

I'd say schedule and plan for a cheat meal. Yes a whole day screws my efforts up and even has caused me to binge day or two after. Don't think of it as a bad thing or you'll want it more. I do 1 meal planned out where I know I'll still be in deficit. Good luck :)

I'll be in heaven if I find one !!!

Face boobs legs arms stomach last :(

I love it I do 16:8 and low carb. Have been having tons of success now that I've experimented with different things.

I normally do 16:8 and low carb together. It only helps me with calorie deficit. I love it :)

Now I'll have to look for diet cream soda. Didn't know there was one !!!!

I mix up what I have.... diet mountain dew is my fav.... Coke vanilla zero or cherry zero. I do drink flavored seltzer water at home :)
