  • I'm confused so correct me if I'm wrong, but why would a raw food diet be just fruit? There are a ton of veggies that you can consume raw and whole on a raw foods diet, as well as whole grain rice, nuts, and seeds. I am in the process of going 70-80% raw but with a tree nut allergy and a distaste for items like avacado, it…
  • I am a single mom with 2 kids and one is disabled, I also work and go to school. I find time to keep up with mine. I add my ingredients individually, which helps with my accuracy and all it takes it just a few minutes, less when I use the barcode scanner since all I have to do is adjust the amount of that item I use. Weigh…
  • This. 90lbs is significant and I'm going for that as well, but once I lose it, surgery wouldn't even be an option. Do you mind if I ask what your starting weight is? Might help to get more accurate help from others....
  • I've been having problems hitting my calorie intake because I feel so full off the smallest things, so my trainer went with me to see my doctor about it. After figuring out the issue, my trainer got the okay to actually start high intensity training since I've been building up. I know I can do it, I know I have to do it, I…
  • Thanks for the tip on protein guys! I noticed the past two nights it has definitely made a difference!
  • Great idea! Thanks!
  • I am 5'8 and I'm at about 4 to 5 pounds a week, with a total goal of 60 pounds. I don't personally care for red meat. Turkey and chicken are the only meat I eat at all and I can barely stand that, a preference not just a diet preference. I'm a picky eater, I know that is a huge hurdle with weight loss, but what I eat is…
  • Tree Nuts, avacado, and coconut are out of the question because I'm allergic, and I dont eat tons of meat. So its hard for me to find things.
  • I should also add that I can work anywhere between 8 to 12 hours a work and I a constantly on the move. Some folks tell me this matters and some say it doesn't. So for information sake I added it.
  • Skip on fried foods, stick with baked meats, fish is always a great option. Remember salads are good as well! maybe pack a cooler of healthier fruits and veggies, yogurts, etc to snack on so you aren't munching on chips, candy, etc. When you're traveling its hard for sure to stay on top of things, but its doable. Honestly,…
  • Hey all! I'm 32 with 60lbs to lose! Feel free to add me!
  • Once I learned calories are more important than carbs my waist started losing inches. At my job, I am running around constantly and sometimes I dont even get a proper meal in a 12 hour shift. I've taken to making sure I have a protein bar on me for such occasions because they make me feel as if I've eaten a full meal and…
  • I am not much of a mean eater, so I've been trying to get as much as I can stand plus i work someone where that good protien is not always accessible and I'm allergic to tree nuts so that protein is out too, so any recommendations on that would help.

  • I go to the gym six days a week. I've been alternating cardio and strength training with one day off from the gym. Last night I did the treadmill and elliptical at a moderate pace for a total of 30 minutes. I only burned 200 cals last night so I know my workout last night was pretty easy. Today is a cheat day for me as its…
  • I did check with my doctor and while my knees and ankles hurt, he said this will ease as I clear some weight off. So his only advice was to listen to my body, if it hurts don't do it. lunges and squats are literally the only exercises that hurt, so I was trying to figure out what might be a good alternative to those.
  • I'm in! 20 pounds by Christmas!
