It is a simple process to lose weight. It isn't easy because people make it that way. No willpower. A lack of mental discipline. Too many diets tossed at them. Weight Loss is a hug $$$$$$$ Industry. People are bombarded with the latest and greatest studies..oh..this is scientific..well..then that's the ticket. Oh..just go…

It all depends on you and what your body dictates. I started at 308 pounds. I put myself on a 1200-1300 calorie a day diet. I started exercising as well..very little.. maybe 5 minutes in the morning on the stationary bike and the evening. I did this for 2-3 months and you can initially drop weight quickly. (I would…

That looks more like your midriff..just saying... :smile:

Anyone can add me..I've dropped over 70 pounds in 5 months..Love this place and the peeps too!

I went in to my Dr in January this year at 308 pounds. My last 4 A1C tests were 6.2, 6.4, 6.4 and in January 7.4 I had fatty deposits in my liver. My Dr wanted to put me on meds. I said Nope..I'll try and lose weight first. My Dr. did NOT say anything about watch your sugar, watch your carbs ..nothing. He said losing…

http://www.businessinsider.com/lebron-diet-sample-meals-2014-9 But registered dietitians say the diet is too extreme, arguing that eliminating entire food groups to lose weight is both unnecessary and dangerous. "I would discourage any client, professional athlete or not, from following this low-carb diet," Torey Jones…

Cherry Pick all you wish (maybe you can only eat cherries?) LeBron is 6'8 and weighed about 270-280 depending. The poster tried to pass this off as some miracle of LCHF. The truth is ..LeBron lowered his calories and most likely exercises more than people on here..and certainly more than a normal person. Make fun all you…

The person who posted this posed it as a low carb diet..because it seems LeBron was flabby and fat..maybe the exaggeration starts there? The article also states he lowered his calories..lost 20 pounds in 67 days roughly. The food he ate and most likely his exercise program is not something most normal people can or will do…

I love how people post extreme diets and then…

So..you are saying..IF you eat 6000 calories a day..low carb..you can have minimal gain BUT if you eat 6000 calories a day..high carbs..you will see a drastically different weight gain? Seriously? Or were you being sarcastic?

I am diabetic. I had fatty liver deposits as well..My Dr. did not say anything at all about low fat/ low carbs..not a word. He said. "Put on Your Shoes" meaning..get active and do something..anything. Lose weight, eat less, exercise more. I have listened to him. I eat plenty of Carbs..not so much fat. He did not specify…

I would recommend doing your research..your body, how many calories you need per day based on your height/weight/age/ activity level. for me..Counting calories and exercising works. Simply burn more calories per day than you consume..and you will lose weight. No special diet needed..no need to watch how many carbs you eat.…

My only change was to drink my coffee black now. Hardly any calories at all..

Wisconsin here..Madison...

This is the problem with low carb diets is.. Nothing wrong with the diet itself.. it is the absolute ridiculous crap people spout. I lose weight eating 1800 calories on low carb..but if I ate 1800 calories including regular carbs,, I'd gain weight. So full of baloney..maybe that's why someone gains weight? They're full of…

Are you trying to equate all carbs with the amount of "sugar" we consume? In your statement above : quoting "Our bodies aren't designed to take in the amount of ( "sure") we normally consume? What are you saying?

IMO..Low Carb/ Keto etc..has simply become the latest craze..the latest fad.. I get sick of reading about it with all the baloney that's tossed out with it. It's the best way to lose weight. It's THE ONLY thing that works for me. It's scientific. When I achieve the bliss that is in my ketogenic state..blah blah blah..…

I quit cold turkey Sept 28th 2014. You have to make up your mind to quit...really want to quit. It isn't easy, but you can do it!

You looka mahvelous! You can do whatever you set out to do! You are the bomb! Let me know if any of this is motivating you yet?

Calories..Calories In Vs Calories out..that's the ticket. Carbs..cutting carbs..low carb..all that is IMO..is the latest fad diet. The new cool thing..cut those carbs..go low carb.. I am diabetic. I am going to be 58 in September. I have lost 70+ pounds in a little over 5 months. When I started this journey, I was over 300…

Anyone..feel free to add me as well! I'll do my best to have your back and encourage you on this journey!

A HUGE congrats to you!!!!! Feel free to add me if you like..I am on my own journey towards a better lifestyle..

You lost me at "AND it's the healthiest way to eat.." I think you're serving up a baloney sammich here. I eat plenty of carbs. I count calories. I am diabetic. My Dr did not say one single thing to me about low carb. He said "Get Active" "Lose Weight" I have dropped over 70 pounds in 5 months counting calories. I am on NO…

For me..in the long run (and I am not there yet) I am going to use my experience here..to make sure I log enough exercise calories during the week (walking..jogging..whatever) to offset the calorie intake when I have decided I don't need to log calories anymore. My Dr. asked me about sticking with this..he meant the…

The Beach may be the beach..but it's no more lewd than someone jogging w/o their shirt on. I have no clue why this would be "incredibly irritating" other than a personal hang up. What would I call a guy wearing just a pair of shorts? Stupid, if he's not wearing jogging shoes and socks. Otherwise, I wouldn't call him…

If you're at the beach..put an effing shirt on..you're not at home lounging around half-naked. Well..that seems effing ridiculous..just as viewing the person as "half-naked" is effing ridiculous. If your first thought is "he's thinking "look at me, look at me" I wonder why in the hell that would be your first…
