Naturally, I didn't mean like he wouldn't lose weight in the long term if he'd continue eating only 600 kcal. I was talking about his journey up until now - so only about the two months. Eventually, sure, he would start losing weight but it would no doubt be agony to him and his body, not to mention his health.

I have to agree with the previous commenters, 600 calories for a guy your size is way too little. You can't lose weight because your body thinks it must hold on to anything it can since it doesn't get enough to function as it should. Please check on how you're measuring food and marking it to MFP, and do increase your…

Thanks lacroyx, MFP Gamers was new to me - The Geek Squid I already found earlier :)

*died* SQUEEE!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hey wow - awesome! I had so many friend requests waiting for me! I'm overwhelmed and really happy to find other geeks to keep an eye on me :D I'll make sure I will cheer you guys on, too!

Haa, welcome! So if you're going to visit Moomins, you're also visiting Naantali? I've been there once few years ago, it was really pretty during the summer :) It's really easy to get to places in here due the good bus service - even trains might be better on schedule then (lol).

I have not, but I'll look into it. I'm currently not getting in any fitness programs since my main goal for now is to lose weight - I know, I know, workout is important and it would help tone my body, but I've never been an active person because I'm one of the people who don't get any endorphins rushing in my brain after…

See title > barge in so quickly that you accidentally drop the mouse and scare the cat who grabs a hold of your feet in panic > do some moves which would look totally awesome on a disco floor > scream "ME TOO!" as if someone would actually hear you through PC > Profit.

You're not the only one who's started this thing from time to time and then came crawling back... I, too, am serious now - have to lose weight in order to maintain my health and staying mobile. For your goal, you have a respectable amount to lose! I have about 70-85lb to go, so I'll send you a friend request if you want us…

Wow! What a small world! In which castle do you live in?

Playing board games, consoles (I have 8Bit, Wii, Snes, Xbox360, Nds and Gba SP) and various PC games. On PC I usually play something my huge Steam collection, but always loved point & click adventure games. Games with RPG elements are high on my list, too. I still have my GW2 installed, but haven't played in ages.

Hämeenlinna Finland.

Louhi & Sukkamieli weren't really cheering when the temperatures went all the way down to -11F few days ago, so they decided to hang out on the warm fireplace. Not coming down even when promised treats!

Nimueh looks almost exactly as my mom's cat Mauku :) Today we're having -11F (-24C) and the cats really seem to love our fireplace.. :lol:

Eventually, my main target is to lose 60-75lb. I only just started my journey, though it's a path that I've walked more than few times already. Now I've decided to stick to it, because I'm not getting any younger (I'm 32) and I want to be more healthy and feel more comfortable. For now, I'm going only with a diet - I've…

Of course, there's also the thing with my usual activeness, which is close to zero. Always has been, so it's not like I would have much of muscle to begin with :D (so I can't blame the muscle being heavier than fat, lol) but I'm not really stressing out with the diet, I'm not in a hurry - my main goal is just lose the…

Forgot to add, that so for now the whole exercise thing is a thing for the future. Because a) it will be easier to move around with less weight on my shoulder (and on my arms and legs and back and boobs and butt and...) and b) it will boost my weight loss when the progress will get naturally slower.

Trust me, I'm "painfully" aware of the benefits of exercise, but as I mentioned, I know myself too well. If I force myself to exercise, I gradually get frustrated with everything and start snacking again, like for extra treat for all the work. And that is precisely why I focus my diet on high protein, in order not to lose…

Our two cats, Louhi and Sukkamieli, send their greetings to Neville, Logan, Gandalf and Radar! Both of our cats are named after characters in Finnish folklore, Kalevala. Louhi is a witch and matriarch of Pohjola (North) and Sukkamieli (translates to Sockmind) is a pagan goddess of love. Louhi is the one with more white on…

I did - while they look definitely sensible and smart, they're not really offering me anything new. I like to cook a lot and have done so for a while now, so naturally I've explored lots of different kind of recipes, ideas and how to substitute non-healthy things with healthier options. But I'll have to see the exercises…

I just received mine, but haven't had an opportunity to play yet! But instead I just recently played Raiders of the North Sea, which was on Kickstarter I think (my friend got his game through this) and it was a blast. Partly your basic worker placement, but with interesting mechanism.

You can add me as well, if you like. I'm 32 and my first wedding anniversary is coming up in three weeks :) And I also moved to a new city 3 years ago :D Luckily through my board gaming hobby I've managed to find some new friends in here, but I don't think I'll ever feel completely in home while living here... Oh well. My…

I agree with the earlier comments, your plan is way too aggressive. You should definitely consult a doctor before doing anything that radical by yourself, which I am not encouraging. Not just that, but it's much more likely to gain everything back when you lose weight too rapidly. In that time you will starve yourself…

That's good, specially if you want to make them very low-fat and without too much cholesterol. Where I live they sell those cartons, too - but they're way too expensive for everyday use compared to normal egg boxes.

I added you, so you can also check out my diary - though it's mostly in Finnish, so you might not really get anything out of it :D Most of it right now is quark, chicken, veggies, berries and fruits so not missing much...

Thanks for the tip, for now I just concentrate on my diet rather than working out - after I've done some real progress on losing weight then I'll start with the exercise. I'm really lazy too, and I've noticed that forcing myself to do anything physical just makes me grumpy and want to treat myself with candy & chips more.…

Hämeenlinna, Finland :)

I tried out lifting weights & counting calories last year, but I soon noticed it's better to get more aerobic exercise when your main goal is losing weight (my weight stopped going down when I begun training). When you're getting closer to your goal it's good to start training muscles - in both phases it's still important…
