My advice: Don't read weight loss articles. They screwed me over and made me second guess how weight loss works for so many years. Had I been smart and accepted the math from day one, I'd already be in amazing shape. Basically nothing these articles claim is true. To lose weight, eat less food. To get toned and healthy,…

Drink more water. I drink a gallon a day and I seldom feel truly starving. Add friends and interact on the social walls frequently. Seeing others succeed keeps me focuses and reminds me that I will still be alive and better tomorrow if I don't have that second serving.

Unmarried, but happily committed. I typically steer clear of this section because I feel out of place. Too much flirting for my liking.

If you lost weigh every day you would disappear. 1200 isn't sufficient unless you are very petite and don't really exercise hardly ever. You lost 9 pounds rapidly because your body thinks it's starving. Do a refeed day, bump up your calories to 1500 or so, and keep at it.

Cheating is a cop out. If you want to make a change, make a change. Don't screw around and say, "I'm going to commit, except for this time and this time." THAT isn't going to fix your relationship with food. Find a way to budget in that piece of cake if you feel like you need to have it and hold yourself accountable when…

You won't last here, or at weight loss in general. We are here to promote healthy LIFESTYLE changes, not fad diets. You will not be supported for this foolish decision here. If you decide you want to lose weight the responsible way, then we'll talk.

No such thing as weighing too often. What makes constantly watching the scale a bad thing is how you handle the information it gives you. If you accept that weight will go up and down constantly, and understand that unless you are overeating, an increase in weight does not mean you gained fat, it can be very beneficial.…

That's an incredible loss for 5 months! You're doing so great. :)

Don't waste your time with fad diets and expensive pills and diet plans. Get committed, recognize the problem, and start counting calories accurately and honestly. You can and will lose weight no matter what you eat as long as what you eat is less calories than what you burn. It's simple math and science. I've tried every…

Did you ask this with genuine curiosity, or are you just feeling in the mood for a shitstorm?

This was something that held me back for so long. I'm so glad I finally got into Reddit and talking to REAL people who showed me the REAL way to lose weight and brought me back here. I'm still set to a 1400 calorie limit, sedentary, 2-pound loss goal. But I don't fill that limit with food for birds. I fill it with food I…

Many reasons, among these are some of my daily reminders as to why I want this so badly:* I am finally, after an extremely abusive relationship, in a happy, healthy, and committed one with a person I can see myself being with for a very long time. * If and when I get married, I don't want my size to tell me I can't have…

You will lose weight by doing the following:* Count your calories. * Burn more than you eat (maintenance or exercise) You will not lose weight by:* Starving yourself. * Following fad diets. I do not recommend engaging in diets like these for a number of reasons. The first being that they are difficult to sustain and…

This was a question about effects on YOUR BODY. Please don't derail with your beliefs. We are all here to take care of our bodies in the ways we think are best for it, and it is not your place to tell anyone what they should or should not eat.

800 calories is way too low. Please consider eating a little more (1000 minimum is the healthy amount) for your health.

I was in an extremely abusive relationship with my partner from high school. Depression and stress from how he treated me caused me to put on about 70 pounds while we were together. After our breakup, I ended up needing ankle surgery and was in a wheelchair for 5 months. I put on a total (between the relationship weight…

I had to do these for physical therapy after ankle surgery when I was physically unable to put any weight on my legs. Can confirm that they're extremely easy on the legs.

They just want your money. The more people that get surgeries, the more money they get. Losing weight is simple math and lifestyle choices. You do not need surgery unless you are physically inable to get up, or are in severe immediate danger if your weight doesn't change. You are doing well as you are. Don't give up.

I'm in. I've been looking for a good "I'm not an athlete" beginner challenge. This should be fun :) SW: 262 CW: 259.8 Challenge Goal: 239.8 Overall Goal: 140 Weigh In: 10/8: 259.8 10/15: 10/22: 10/29: 11/5: 11/12: 11/19: 11/26: 12/3: 12/10: 12/17: 12/24: 12/31:

Hey! I'm in the same boat as you :) My highest is 262 -- one pound off! I started a little over a week ago and I'm down to 259.8. Currently in a little bit of a plateau but trying to be patient until the end of the week.

I would just stick your activity level on MFP to sedentary and make sure to add in exercise activities when you do them. Their recommendations for calories are pretty spot on. I am at a sedentary level with ~1400 calories daily on the more aggressive weight loss track. Losing weight is really as simple as the site makes it…

Start now, and be ready to accept that weight loss isn't cut and dry. It's hard, but it's simple. Log all your foods with 100% honesty even if you overeat, and eat at a deficit. You can lose weight without exercise simply by eating less. You will not be gaining lean muscle mass this way, and it isn't as efficient, but it's…
