I used to weigh weekly but sometimes on the day you weigh, the number could be higher due to fluctuations which would demotivate me. So now I do daily to my mind can adjust to the trend which helps me.

My doctor recently commented on my weight and said I should definitely lose some weight because I am high risk for diabetes. He politely said he would be giving me bad service if he didn't comment because it's his job to look out for the well being of his patients. I appreciated that and I am back now to lose 12kgs. He…

Goodluck!!!!

Back again also. On day number 4. Goodluck

I'm current doing intermittent fasting so I don't really have breakfast during the week. But on a Saturday or Sunday I'll have breakfast around 10am. I usually go all out and then only eat dinner again. I usually have bacon, eggs, Sausages, toast, sometimes a grilled tomato. Sometimes I prefer and omelette with cheese and…

Hi, I'm currently doing this right now. I do 16:8 everyday and then 24 hours from Sunday to Monday. I find it works really well for me. It was tough to do the first 2 times then I was fine. The trick is making sure you keep busy, well for me that was it becuase I eat when I get bored. Lol. The reason I do the 24 hour fast…

When I lost my first 8kg. I was asked by someone if my boobs have gotten bigger. BTW I'm a Guy! That was very demotivating. But I learned later on that my body gets rid of the fat in other places first before my chest so it looked that way.

I've been doing it for a few weeks now. It's been working out for me. The important to ask yourself is whether it's sustainable for you? Is this something you can see yourself doing consistently. If yes then good thing for you. Most of the named diets can work in their own right and the best advice I can give is do what…

Hi there, it's not too late. At the age of 22 I was diagnosed with High blood pressure and told my risk for heart disease went up. I started to suffer with gout and my cholesterol was high. I would wake up with back pains after drinking and just in general I didn't have much energy. I was on chronic medication for the high…

Hi there, I've been here for a while on and off. Starting again too. Goodluck on your journey and hope you're successful in reaching your goals :)

I'm currently on 87 kg. I want to reach 80 kg. I've taken pics and I'd love to see the difference side by side.

Fried chicken... Then Chocolate Cake...

Trying to picture myself with a ripped body...

It's very encouraging to know that people have experienced the same thing and broken through it. This journey has been tough, but I only realised recently the unhealthy relationship I have with food. Now that I have identified it. I believe i can work on it.

Thank you all for the wonderful advice. I will keep trying and focus on me.

Walking around with no shirt on B)

Yes it is as simple as it seems... Just track your food accurately, be consistent and PATIENCEYou lose weight slowly... over time...

low/no carb is not sustainable for everyone. I can go 2 weeks and then I'm done. You need to do what works for you. Currently I am eating a balanced diet and much happier this way. I just make sure to keep within my calorie limit and eat decent food. Breakfast: oats/kellogs special k with cup of milk, sometimes a fruit or…

This! Plus your weight fluctuates all the time. For example: If the day before you weighed yourself you drank more water than usual and ate a lot of salty foods or foods with high sodium, your body will retain more water than usual, thus the number on the scale will higher even if you lost weight. It happened to me. Week 1…

It sounds to me like you are doing things correctly already. Tip 1: Be patient Tip 2: Be Consistent Tip 3: It's fine to over eat sometimes but not all the time - Life is meant to be enjoyed The weight will come off slowly. But that's a good thing.

What does MFP recommend you eat? 1200 is too low. I tried it twice and ended up falling off the wagon because of it. Eat at a small deficit then increase it slightly over time if you feel comfortable with it. Or else create the deficit by doing more cardio. It takes longer but its well worth it.

I also find it very hard to see the changes when I look in the mirror. But you said your clothes are fitting better. Trust me! That is a huge positive sign. Keep it up. I didn't see changes at first... which frustrated me and I would fall of the wagon. Then this year I just carried on, even though I didn't see any…

^^This - If you are going to weigh yourself using a scale, I don't recommend doing it everyday especially if you feel demotivated if your weight changes. Your weight is fluctuates everyday - well more like it fluctuates throughout the day. I weigh myself once a week. Same day, same time, same clothing. For me. So for me on…

This! I have been saying this to myself all the time and it works. Another thing I do is setting short term goals and track my progress. I generally set them to be 6 weeks. So like for the next six weeks I'm going to eat a balanced diet. And i track my progress using the scale, measurements of my waist, chest, arms, legs,…

I don't write a dairy, but I do log progress outside MFP. So what is my main goal: Fat Loss For the next six weeks I'm going to eat at a deficit and each week I log my weight and measure my waist, chest, neck, arms, legs and hips every week. At the end of the six weeks - I build up back to maintenance within a week but…

Are you working out for some kind of competition (bodybuilding, running). If the answer is no, then do what works for you. If you can work out on an empty stomach and then eat after then do it. Some people can't but that's because their bodies are different. Also, it depends on your goals and how far are you willing to go…

MPF is just a guideline. A very good one but a guideline none the less. Everyones calorie intake different. Try cutting your calories a little more but make sure you are getting enough protein. If that doesn't work try building up to maintenance for a week and then eating at maintenance for a week. Then drop your calories…

First of all! There is nothing wrong with what you did. Everyone deserves to have a day/weekend or even a week especially if you always within your limit and have been for a long time. So be happy about your great weekend and just get back on track. Its also good for your body. I generally eat at a deficit for a few weeks…

Once a week in the morning after using the bathroom.

There is no such thing as spot fat removal. Your body will decide where the fat comes off first. You need eat in a calorie deficit (either reduce your calorie consumption or do cardio to reduce calories or do both). Make sure you are getting enough protein (I personally recommend you carry on with strength training or…
