Thats great, however, you have loss weight due to a calorie deficit. Yes exercise helps you along the way. Congrats nearing your goal!

?

Prelog your calories everyday. Own up to it. Find your maintenance calorie intake, deduct 500 calories and consume that amount of calories. If that is impossible for you to do, I would seek council. Either you want to or you don't.

I have 20 more pounds to go. Im at the half way mark. when done losing, maintain and recomp. 5'5 SW 175 CW 155 GW 135 Rurufit- your on my friend list...Come on we got this!!

My diary is open as well. I have lost 20 pounds in 2 and a half months. I have another 20 to go. Maybe more when I get there. Feel free to add me.

Only you can change your self confidence. Compairing sizes and other body types to yours will get you no where and can make it worse. I think there is pressure from media and other sources that could make you feel this way. You are not alone. Many young girls and women for that matter waste thier lives doing so. Pressure…

Not at all.. Too many variations in clothing- styles and manufacturing, vanity sizing. Different body compositions. Your keep focusing your size is smaller, compairing yourself to others. Why is that?

No one person will be the same as you...You may be wearing clothes way to tight.. they may be wearing them way to big. Noone is exactly the same. No one structure is the same. If you are happy with your weight, that again is what matters. One could weigh 140 and be skinny fat with a 30% ratio of fat and be a size 5.…

Sizing is a ploy for marketing. Example oh wow i fit in a size 2. Great! Im buying that pair of jeans right now!!! I wear a size 2!! But are you in a healthy bmi range? Are you happy with how you look? That is what it comes down to.

I think clothing brand sizing has changed dramatically. I remember wearing a size 7 in juniors weighing 130. My recent shopping visit put me in that same size at 155. Same brand same style number. I also believe shapes provide different sizing. It depends how your weight is distributed. Jrs. sizing is a lot different then…

This should be sticky! Thank you for taking the time to post!! Truly a good read! :)

I signed up!

Thanks for the reply. I know it's not bone. I'm not exercising and haven't in a while so maybe that is playing a part as well.

Thanks!

I agree..and know this. I know im not a special snowflake. I weigh in the mornings only. So I am not seeing fluctuations...well in a few days. Ive stayed the same..then the scale will show a loss. Its how my body works. But what I meant was, why somedays you feel bigger and look bigger and other days you are the opposite.…

Anyone?

Im happy for you! Your doing this for YOU!! Noone else. Some of your thought regarding how others may think about you, could be wrong. For some change is hard. With your new enlightenment, I'm sure your family will love you either way. Regardlesss, You have a new realization about losing weight. Kudos to you!!!! :)

1 cup of Total cereal and a half cup of fairlife 2% milk.

Temptations never bother me. Im over it. Very good advise for those who are looking for answers on planning and fall into temptation. Bump!

Thanks for the tip There is a Smiths is just across the street from me! Heading there to look for these bars. You must be in Utah or one of the western states?

You shouldn't believe everything on the internet. A caloric adjustments would be taken in effect according to weight loss. Still a pound is 3500 calories. Losing or not. Weight loss is not linear not circular. It simply has nothing to do with the OP and has derailed the thread. Your link for a calculator loss is broken and…

You are misleading the community with wrong information. 7000 calories is not a pound at a loss.. YOU ARE GIVING MISLEADING INFORMATION. PERIOD! You copied and pasted information from a biomedical website regarding thier calculator that doesnt work properly. Then made a statement about a circle on a trend. When in fact…

Ok A link with a calculator that doesn't work properly. That shows a inset circle with a trend. Not all trends are this way. Is that what your trying prove? Where is the link that shows 7,000 calories is a pound at a loss. Im curious.

Wha????? Or should I say..wtf? Do you have back up to support 7000 calories is a pound while at a loss?

Twenty days @ 1200 calories will give an extra 5,000 calories for Thanksgiving. Back on track following Monday 1450 calories. Making room for Cheesecake factory, Godiva chocolate cheesecake at 1100 calories a slice. And breakfast black friday, Paradise bakery cinnamon rolls.

Its up to you. If your not used to fluctuations, once a week is fine. Imoho, Daily. Fluctuations don't bother me anymore.

Was on vaca for 10 days. Got back a week ago. Ate what I wanted but was active. Gained 5 pounds and have lost it. Water weight. Im having a hard time now and over eating (1650) calories still a bit below maintenance and not exercising. Slacking basically. Starting today Im tighten up. Did that before vacation for two…

Hi! Im 5'5 and 155. My highest 215. Goal weight 130. Maybe less once I get there. I would like to learn more about lifting (not a fan of cardio) waiting for Vasa (a local gym across the street) to finish construction. Can't wait to join and learn.

I have a healthometer digital scale and paid 23.00. The other a dial scale thats hard to read and never accurate because you can lean a certain way and the dial moves. Paid twice the amount. The digital scale is very accurate. I weight with my siamese cats and then weight alone and then cats alone. It was a good investment…
