Lol what? I don't think it sucks out fast at the same time. If it did, I'd pay them!

I've tried skipping meals, ate only 1000 calories, worked out... And the scale wouldn't budge. Maybe I gained muscle? Who knows... But when I ate 4-6 small meals a day, and stopped eating between 8pm and 7am, I lost weight. I think everyone's body is simply different. Am I a doctor? Am I a nutritionist? Nope... But I know…

Ha, yes. I meant BF% thank you.

Nope... I try and eat often even if I'm not hungry. My body goes into starvation mode and keeps extra fat when I starve it. If I eat when I'm not hungry, I only eat what is good for my body. If I wait until I'm hungry, my brain and body argue about what to eat. I consider my options when I'm hungry. I think more like "what…

Most weight loss is in the kitchen, not the gym. Unless you are checking BMI, you have no idea what you lost if you're working out. I've lost 8 pounds in 3 days (yes water weight), but I haven't checked my BMI so I'm not that excited. My jeans are still tight so that's what matters.

Alright guys... I really ate until I felt full, and I almost made it to 1500 calories. I mean I spaced it out throughout the day. Did I mess up my stomach? I'm worried now :( Just last week I could eat 6k calories a day and still be eating in the middle of night randomly. I still have some veggies on my plate from dinner…

Respect def feels better than attention and I think that's all they want. They want me upset and they want problems to be brought up for me and my husband. Thank you guys so much!

Oh I did after that but it was recent... My husband's ex tries to run Phd house and both her and his sister think I've pulled him away from his family. But anyway ya they are all blocked now. It's funny because his sister gets really skinny then big then skinny then big. I don't want to be like that at all. I'm ready to…

Thank you so much! Ya I think I was driven by those people who don't like me and I now I realize they are pretty jealous and it's dumb. I met my husband's sister once and she is apparently best friends with his ex wife he shares a daughter with. So she's posting on Facebook how she lost 18 pounds in less than 4 weeks not…

Thank you! Yes, that's my plan now. I only want to life 35 pounds now. I'll be 150, and then I can look at what I want then. No time set, I'm just going to keep weighing and trying on my shorts that currently don't fit, and just eat healthy and work out in the mornings when I want to instead of 6 days a week 2 times a day

Ya, I am going to get a lot more protein and maybe not work out 2 times a day. I love working out in the morning so I don't want to stop that but maybe not 6 days a week. I don't really want to up my carbs and I am happy with the salad I eat every day and the 2 tablespoons of dressing. But I'm going to add more beans…

Ok guys! I slept on it and I'm going to up my calories. I'm going to eat a 200-250 before I work out in the morning. I'm going to eat 400-600 calories for lunch, throw a snack in before dinner and then eat a good balance with about 500 or a little more before 8pm and then just walk at night. I also want to just drop 35…

This is what I needed. Thank you so much! Ya I am planning on changing my calorie intake today

I agree. I posted what I had in my diet previously on this last Sunday which was a normal intake for me and I think it was around 4k or 5k calories a day. I need to really take a step back and up my calories to a health level.

I think my biggest issue is I have people in my life that I don't particularly like, that are telling me that I am never going to lose weight, and I'm just all talk.

I really love what you said here. Thank you for the advice!

Ya, I just see that I'm closer to 200 than 100... so I feel like it's a lot.

Thank you. I might do that. I'm going to continue to eat how I am and exercise the way I am until I don't feel good, or feel like I am not myself anymore. So far, I feel happy, energized, and sleep well every night. It's been a while since I slept the way I have this week. I usually have a hard time waking up, and this…

Well... um... non of that sounds good.

Oh yes I log every meal and measure every single item that hits my mouth, and I am remaining honest with myself on what I am eating. At this moment, I've had 400 calories today and it's almost 5pm. I'm having 6oz of chicken, some black beans, and some broccoli in the next 30 minutes, and then I might have a Luna bar if I…

OH no... I'm thinking 10-25 pounds for this month only. And then in November, I'll look at where I am and then look at how much i'm still dropping, and see what I can do to still reach my goal. Working hard and getting discouraged is not really a hard thing for me. I own a small business where we do sales all the time, if…

Ya, but what is the downside to it? I can't find anything about how it'll hurt me by what I'm doing. Not eating them back, but I'm not hungry, and I'm still feeling good.

I am considered obese, but only by 9 pounds or so. After that, I'm just overweight.

OH YES!!! I love lifting, and I love adding weight. It's my first week, so I'm starting with 10 pound weights until next week. I will add 2-5 pounds extra once I do 3 sets of 15, and every time I squat, I'm adding more and more weight and just lowering my reps. I up my reps when I feel like I can lift more weight.

I agree completely! But I'm on about 800-1200 a day and I work out.

Oh no haha. I can understand that statement. No, I plan to keep the weight off and simply continue to work out and eat healthy. It's my last baby's first birthday. I really want to feel and look good on that day. We are also going to Texas that week or the next week. The reason for the 50 pounds is that it will be put me…

Because I'm looking to drop the weight the healthiest way in a healthy amount of time. I have a goal, and I'm just not sure how to accomplish it. I thought I was doing the right things, and apparently I'm not.

So what should I do? Is there anyway to build muscle (lifting weights and giving myself time to heal), and drop the fat by the middle of December?

I think it's just water weight because I google more than anyone ever should. When I do anything in life, I love to learn all about it, examine why I do it, and then give it 300% focus. I'm at about 800-1200 calories a day, and burn anywhere from 200 - 600 calories a day.

Ok, I started working out on Monday and the last time I had soda was Sunday night. I started eating 800-1200 calories on Tuesday, and the 4 pounds is since Monday Morning of this week. So 4-5 days. I'm lifting weights, won't that help me keep my muscle?
