I finally bought new pants, after admitting that every single pair I own is way too big and I was looking a bit...homeless. The next day at work, 2 separate people told me how great I'm looking!

This is called Orthostatic Hypotension and can have a whole bunch of possible causes, many benign, but some not. It's time to go to the doctor.

Protein is your friend: It is very satiating, so you feel fuller with less calories. For reference, one egg has about 6 grams of protein, so you'd need to eat a dozen or more in a day if you were relying on them as your sole source of protein.

That actually sounds really good

Yes, you will lose weight on a 1200-1400 calories/day diet with 30 minutes a day of moderate exercise. That's a very sensible plan, especially if you focus on getting sufficient protein (aim for at least 70g/day, but ideally as many grams as your ideal weight in pounds) and eating a variety of healthy fruits, vegetables…

* Digital scale :: $30 * Food Scale :: $12 More than made up for by all of the ice cream and chicken nuggets I'm not buying regularly anymore. My grocery bill is like 1/2 of what it would be if I were still eating out for a significant portion of my meals.

My roommate recently got one (like 2 months ago), and has been pretty vocal about struggling with weight loss ever since. Although tbh she also eats almost nothing but dill pickle chips, so that can't be helping either.

I have been (slightly more than) your current weight, depressed, anxious, lonely, feeling unsupported and hopeless before. It's not a nice place to be, but it need not be your permanent reality. You are not bad or disgusting or inadequate for having weight to lose. You are just a girl who wants to lose some weight. Body…

I have a little snack like that before bed probably 4-5 nights a week. Hasn't stopped me from losing 30lbs so far.

Nuts. I absolutely cannot have them around me because I will not stop thinking about them until I have eaten every last one.

The HCG Diet is bunk. ANY diet that requires such a low intake of calories will cause weight loss, with or without the injection of human chorionic gonadotropin.

I'm 9 lbs away from no longer being overweight

two or three times a day, usually

About once every 2 weeks for breakfast, I like to get a 12-grain bagel with cream cheese. They only spread the cream cheese on the bottom, so I throw away the bagel tops, press the bottoms together and have half a bagel with double cream cheese ;) That works out to 295 calories, ~400mg sodium.

You can add me! I have 33 lbs to go!

My workout naturally divides into 7.5 minute sections, and so I try to focus on "accomplishing" the section and encouraging myself as though I were a third person. "Come on, somegirlsdo, You can Do It, just Three and a Half Minutes to the end of this section!!" Speaking to myself in the third person gives me the emotional…

This sounds amazing, I think I know what I am having for breakfast tomorrow

a few hundred grams of cut up raw cauliflower, in a ziploc bag, with a couple teaspoons of good olive oil, and a sprinkle of finely ground salt. MMMM it's like chips but healthy.

You could measure yourself instead and track your measurements instead of your weight. That might be easier to deal with emotionally until you are good with yourself again and ready to step on a scale.

If you are working out to increase the size of your calorie deficit, then it doesn't make any sense to eat back those calories. Additionally, if you set your profile with your activity level as "X workouts per week", then the average deficit gained from those workouts is already factored into your daily allowance and you…

I am giving my all and trying to do this right. Support is *definitely* welcome on my journey

I prefer to let my results do the announcing for me

sole fillet pressed into dehydrated potato flakes and pan-fried in a tablespoon of olive oil. Takes a total of maybe 10 minutes including cooking time, has 350-400 calories and tastes like fish coated in french fries. I had this once in a restaurant and it is now a regular featured dish in my house because it's so yummy…

I'm doing alternate-day fasting, and I weigh myself the morning after my fasting day

I lost about 30 lbs before I noticed anything. Others noticed before I did

Maintaining a healthy mindset and not getting obsessive

peanut butter, nuts, chips, pretty much anything with lots of fat and salt

There is a bowl of chocolates 18 inches away from me, on my desk for my clients, all day. Most of the time I forget about it, but some days I weaken, especially if it's a certain time of the month

I am doing alternate-day-fasting, so I will just have my 2000-calorie days as my holiday food days, no problem!
