I did well this Christmas, I was expecting some water weight since I ate a bit of smoked and salted pork and lamb over the holidays, I did manage to stay clear of chocolates and drank very little alcohol and when I stepped on the scale yesterday morning I had lost 2.2 lbs since the Sunday a week before so I am quite…

haha I love that you included your husband as your 4th child xD

If you're a sugar addict like I was, what worked for me was cutting it out completely, and get used to not eating it all the times, I then added 1 of my favourite drink back into my eating plans and felt satisfied with the smaller amount instead of the mountains of sugar I used to consume. I just powered through it really,…

To be honest 1200 is not my aim, not at all. but I find it difficult to actually even get that far up (without consuming candy like I used to) Candy and crisps along with sugary drinks by the gallons used to be my main source of calories for 10 years, and obviously I over consumed in this time because I ended up at a…

Yea I was screened for diabetes not too long ago, I was not even prediabetic so I think I should be fine, I think maybe its mostly in my head because honestly I do not enjoy eating food that much. I never was much of a food eater to begin with, of course not counting candy and crisps which I used to consume at an alarming…

no I don't I used to do that, before I started MFP

Holy crap haha, It takes me about 2 and a half hours to finish that drink. I savour it in my gaming session so I can have it longer :P

No I'm not lactose intolerant, I think its more about eating when you just aren't hungry kinda thing. I really have no idea.

Yea I used to snack while gaming, but I've stopped the snacking behavior. I no longer eat in my computer area because I feel that it encourges me to get more snacks or that I will depend on snacks to be able to enjoy gaming. Before I started this new eating habit I would feel anxiety and depression if I did not have any…

Yea I am aware that I am eating too little, I am 5'10 and started out at 315lbs of which 30 are gone so far, Yes I log as well as anyone can. There is gonna be some difference I guess, since most of the information on the food is just an estimate, general calorie amounts but it should be in the ballpark of what it actually…

I second what MissJay said. Water weight can be tricky and we can drop some, gain some, and drop some again, and sometimes we can gain enough to make the scale show weight gain. But give it at least 4 weeks, and if you still are not going downwards, some adjustments might be needed, eat less, or exercise more, or eat less…

That! My demons is sugar, and although ice cream in general has never been my weakness but I used to have one every once in a while, and its like you said.. one serving? .. yup the whole thing! 500ml of it! .. good lord when you look back at what you managed to shove in your mouth. Candy is my weakness, Before I started at…

You look phenomenal! What huge huge inspiration your post is to me! I was 315lbs when I started here a week ago, down to 306. I envy your success but at the same time I am so thrilled to see someone that was close to my weight but looks so amazing in a relatively short time. I wont expect my journey to match yours. My life…

I use the website, since I don't have a smart device. But this place is amazing! journal keeping really keeps you on track and motivates you to eat right so you can see the numbers you hope to see in your over all calorie count, I am 5'10 and a whopping 315lbs :tongue: the struggle is real!

about 500-700,

definitely not! >.<

Fit!

I wasn't really asking for approval, and yes I am a grown up, but that does not mean I know how to cook healthy, if there was a = between being grown up and knowing how to be healthy there would be no obese ppl :P

Thanks everyone! I feel better about using olive oil for frying now :P

I agree, Last year I attempted to quit candy but also allowing me cheat days once a week, where I could have a little bit of candy, well it did not take long for me to lose control of it. This time around I am just not going to eat candy ever, I just wont buy it, and I wont eat it! I can't control it, so I skip it…

Congratulations! This is huge! I'm a life long sugar addict and I ate candy every single day, and I quit it completely 2 weeks ago. It sucked but then you get used to it, and your body gets used to not having it. You will feel better skipping the candies. Good job! :D excellent work, This is most definitely the right…

Exercise is important for the body, very important, but it's not all that important for weight loss. being very active in the gym or whereever you do your exercise will most certainly speed up your way to a healthy body but eating right and eating under but near your daily calorie requirements will make you lose pounds. I…

I snack on things like; carrots, grapes, apples, handful of raisins or peanuts. Sometimes I get a slice of bread with cheese. Stuff like that

Hey, I'm 315lbs and looking to lose about 135-140lbs, I just started yesterday here. I don't exercise as much as you do due to back problems (from weight) but once I get down a few lbs I will hopefully be able to move around with more comfort. You're doing really great though! You seem very active and that's fantastic! :D

Thank you everybody for your wonderful advice and guidance. I feel better about this big bone issues, I don't mind being bulky I just don't want to be fat, I've been fat all my life and I'm done with it, and I was worried that this old wives tail about big bones was true. I'm grateful to you all for taking the time to help…

You look good, if you are what this so called "big boned" is then I guess I really got nothing to worry about!

What sort of exercises for strength would you suggest? I don't have access to a gym, I also cannot afford any equipment, so anything I can do at home or outside near my home? that is appropriate for my current mobility? I can do a lot of things, I can move around quite a bit, but carrying my belly while walking is really…

Thank you, this is really helpful. I do plan on increasing my muscle mass, and gain stamina. I have such back problems because of belly weight so I am hoping that ones I drop maybe 30kg or maybe 20 that I'll be able to move my body around with more comfort. I do still move around as much as I can of course, anything is…

I also just started, kinda, I quit sugar completely about 2 weeks ago, I guess I started then :P but I started here just today. thank you for the friend request :) I don't feel like I'm eating too little, but when I put it into the thing here its telling me its too little, I got it up to 1100 now, I forgot to add something…
