I go between whole foods and some junk foods. I think it's about balance.

My goal is to lose 45lbs by August.

When I wake up, I'm not really hungry, but I force myself to eat anyway and it typically holds me over until dinner with a light snack in between (a protein bar). My problem is that since I'm not hungry until 6-7pm, I have to eat more calories when I'm not hungry because I didn't eat enough throughout the day. :confused:

I have the same problem. I lost 2lbs over a month. It is completely frustrating. I meet with a gym person and he tells me I'm doing everything right and reassures me that some people just lose quicker than others. It will eventually change and to give it time. Just keep logging, exercising and weighing your food and you…

You got this! But I recommend having more calories in your diet. 1200 calories is not enough to sustain the activity you are doing. It's the basic amount of calories just to live (or less than). It'll be hard to stick to the diet with that low of a calorie count.

Boo. I was eating them because I really need more fiber in my diet. Any suggestions? I have figs now and then, but I'm frankly getting sick of them. And lima beans.

My goal is to lose 45lbs by August. 1 month in with 1lb weight loss :cry: :frowning:

Oh please do let me know too. I was eating quest bars for their fiber content, but it really messes up my stomach.

I'm completely jealous. I would love to have chickens. My mom had them when she was growing up, but she refuses to get them now. :disappointed: As for the eggs, why not make some gourmet dog biscuits? There are lots of people who like to pamper their pooch and you can make a fortune making gourmet dog cookies. (I dropped…

Has this worked for you? And I haven't seen this equation before, where did it come from? Just curious. I've seen other equations such as: For women: BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (years) – 161 and my BMR would be 1706.

Thanks :smile: This does help.

Thank you. :smile: I was thinking of going back to that because I feel like 1200 is just too low of calories.

I'm 27, 5'7 and probably sedentary.

Drinking more water (or tea) will make you pee more. If you drink water before you sleep, count on having to wake up during the middle of the night to go pee. There's also a lot of veggies that are natural diuretics and it'll make you pee a lot too (supposedly). I've read that your body will start to realize you're taking…

I've only ever done half marathons. How long do you train for a marathon?

I absolutely feel you there. He can eat takeaway every meal and he won't gain anything, it's unbelievable. You and I are actually around the same weight/goals. We can motivate each other to keep on track. :smile:

I've actually been over weight my whole life and it's stopped me from doing things I really wanted to do. One of my ultimate things I've ALWAYS wanted to do was join the air force, but being over weight has always stopped me. I've tried losing weight before and it's always been so hard for me, so I give up. Now I'm more…

I have 48lbs to lose. :smile: Anyone can add me.

I actually used to save them for halloween so that I could use them for dead bodies.

Making faces at my dog. She's unamused.

I have quite a few to be fair. I think my biggest pet peeve is when people chew with their mouth open or make obnoxious noises when they eat. Or when people just sit at gym equipment, either texting or just sitting there. I get taking a break for the next set, but when you spend 35 minutes on one machine, I think it's time…

Maybe is a cute name for a dog.

My girl in her sweater and my christmas helper :smile:

I'm here for that, but I only started 3 weeks ago. Too short of a time to tell for me. I've only lost 1lb.

It's a waste of money. As a "retailer" I still recommend that they eat actual food vs drinking a shake.

I have 48lbs to lose. I want to do it by August, but it's so far not working out so well. :cry:

Going into the 100s. I'm 7lbs short from being there. I was 5lbs short, but for some reason I've gained 2lbs this past week. :angry:

I'm tired of being the fat person. My brother and sister are slimmer and I've always been the "chubby" sibling, or the "fat friend." I hate clothes shopping and I want to feel nice in clothing, without having to wear a jacket because I'm trying to hide some of the fat. I'm embarrassed to go out with my boyfriend sometimes…

I'm 27 and I'm trying to lose 45lbs :smile: So far it's not going so well. Hopefully it'll change soon.

I am pretty sedentary the most of the day. I mostly do house chores or play with my dog, but I do go to the gym for an hour and a half to two hours. I'd still fall under sedentary, right? I do this 5 days a week (and usually long walks on the weekend).
