Yup. Literally get rid of everything that will derail you. When I started to diet, I threw it all away. Everything

Every morning. Same time

Yes CICO works every time but eating the right kinds of food is still important. You can still lose all the weight in the world and be horribly malnourished because you are focusing 100% on calories and not on what you're eating. CICO contributes to weightloss only....not other factors

I only eat back about 30% of what I lost Mostly because there are no apps or gadgets that really accurately measure your exercise calorie lost I have a Fitbit and it's the worse ever when gauging your calories lost. When I compare it to a chest strap hr the Fitbit was WAY OFF. And if someone has a high resting beats per…

I do 1200 a day. Very active here. It doesn't bother me. But for a 190 pound person 1200 doesn't sound right if you are trying to maintain. To lose weight on a sedentary setting that does sound about right

Yeah, I don't believe that. Otherwise there would be a lotta fat people in 3rd world nations

Whenever I stalled it was because of too much sodium and not enough water. I never seen too much exercise causing a stall. I'm not sure if that's possible. I've seen body builders who gained weight from exercise but they were fit to begin with and wanted to bulk up But I echo everyone here...weigh everything if you haven't…

It's different because it's dependent on SO MANY factors 1. Age 2. Weight 3. How fast you're walking 4. What your beats per minute is while you're walking. The calories is so drastically different for each person. For example, me walking 2.7 mph for one hour and five minutes burns 554 calories based on my current weight,…

I eat creole food all the time. You can def lose weight on creole food. I'm not sure what you mean by heavy spices....spices doesn't really ,are you gain weight. The only spice I'd keep an eye on is high sodium spices because it traps water in your body too easily. But yeah, you can def lose weight on creole food. Ah…

Ah I remember when I first started. Took off 24 pounds in three weeks. Looking back, I contribute this mostly to water retention. Before, my ankles...I didn't have ankles lol...now I have slender ankles; so for me, I'm sure it was water weight.

They should stickie this lol

I've been extremely lucky (fingers crossed) I've only stalled for five days which isn't a plateau. I expect it to hit me though...I'm dreading it

You can take it for what it's worth. But I killed my weight loss stall by eating 500 more calories than I normally do for one day. That pretty much took care of mine (provided, of course, you aren't eating a lot of salt and drinking enough water)

She already knows about water. She posted about it in her post. She wanted an alternative to regular soda.

Niiice. Thanks!!

Diet soda is my go to drink

I don't eat back the calories I lost from exercising. What I lose from exercising is what I lose as a calories deficit

God I know how you feel :/ I've been running like crazy trying to get it back. But so far, no luck

I would ask for a dietician referral.

I can't stress this enough

1. I never had gastric bypass 2. I am not 50 pounds overweight 3. No. Loose skin is not a myth Get over yourself. Some people need it done. Stop putting down someone who may need it done. One of many assanizing posts I've seen on here. People think just because it never happened to them it cannot happen to anyone else.…

I have lived it. I was massively obese. Yes. Put down the down damn fork. That's a great first step. It is possible. If you don't know how to put down that fork or get help to put down that fork, a machine induced bulimic pump isn't going to help. Therapy, however, is a viable option. If you don't think some of us did not…

I drink diet soda and my weight loss has been just fine

No one is condemning anyone. We're condemning the process of medically supervised bulimia.

Yeah literally every insurance coverage is radically different with this. What I did was ..we have a 3rd party group called Accolade. I emailed them, if I was covered. They responded yes under these conditions: 1. I need to try and failed treatments of ointments and other medications to prevent rashes (no insurance will…

You mean 1200 right :p. Remember, Fitbit also includes your resting calories burnt too so just tailor that with what you're doing now. In all honesty, I have a Fitbit too. It's not a very accurate tool at all for calories burnt. I've seen this with folks with higher than normal heart rates (this is how Fitbit includes the…

I think it varies from person to person. I knew a girl who lost 150 pounds in three years and skin surgery was needed for her. There are a lotta factors like your starting weight, your age, how fast you lost it. But honestly there are so many factors. I knew someone who lost 110 in 16 months and didn't need it and I know…

I read it. Not convinced. Sorry :(

That article sounds like they are describing a machine assisted bulimic device If people are resorting to this...I feel very bad for them :( food addiction is real

Slow and steady wins this and it's what keeps it successful. Losing 11 pounds in 23 days is nothing to scoff at...even if some of that is water weight.
