You are getting some really good advice. You need to eat more than one meal per day. If you are unable to eat traditional meals, make smoothies, drink Slim Fast, eat Greek yogurt (protein) and buy plenty of fruit and portable veggies and nuts. Some quick breakfast ideas I use: I don't know if you like oatmeal or not, but…

I eat breakfast every morning. I am a member of Weight Watchers and I have been told by several leaders as well as others that eating revs up the metabolism. The earlier a person eats, the earlier the body begins to work to digest the food and thus, begin burning. Therefore, I do eat breakfast. I usually eat oatmeal and…

Outstanding testimony!

I've been eating very low carbs. I have recently begun adding carbs back to my diet. I had oatmeal with raspberries for breakfast this morning and nearly did a dance. I've had egg beater omelets for the past two months. I'm trying to ease into carbs. I still have had no bread and no potatoes, but I am adding fruit back in.

me too. I'm 47

I'm with you. I used to drop pounds so quickly. Now it is soooooo hard to lose just a little bit. I have finally begun to lose, but I had to cut a lot of carbs to do it. It would be nice to have some friends experiencing the same thing. I've gone through menopause and it seems as if my metabolism is what paused.

For me, Insanity toned me up, but I didn't lose but two pounds the entire time I did it. Running helped me lose weight. So, it depends if you would rather lose weight or tone up. I am running now. When I get a certain weight, I will do the Insanity Challenge again. There's my two cents. LOL

Yes. It is necessary. This is a life time journey. Just don't get stuck off course. Be willing to accept the consequences. Enjoy it, and then get back on plan.

Don't be afraid to eat more. You are eating far too little. Your body needs more calories o sustain itself, to do what it is supposed to do to keep you healthy. Don't deprive it. At 1260, you are already eating at a big deficit. You need at least 1200 calories a day. Don't get your body used to eating to little. You will…

Get a fanny pack and put the phone in it. Works for me.

That's not that bad, actually. Your weight or body shape is not so out of control that you can't get it back. You need to commit to logging in daily. If you bite it, write it! It may not stop you from eating craziness, but it will make you much more aware. I am a Weight Watcher. One of the reasons I like it is because of…

Thanks. I think I will join the group. I'm 47, so I qualify for the group. According to Fedex.com, my Body Beast should be here tomorrow. I really don't want to gain any weight, so I am torn. Are you really skinny, or do you have weight to lose? I've heard from some men who are doing it, so it is good to hear from a woman.

Send my a request. You sound like the kind of person I need on my feed.

Use your pause button. You will find it easier and easier to get through. It is hard in the beginning, and you'll need more time than Shaun allows, but take your own breaks. Listen to your body.

I actually had the same results as you. It is quite frustrating. I never lose weight when doing Insanity; however, I do lose inches and tone up. I didn't lose any weight, but I looked as if I had. You have to make up your mind whether you want to tone as you lose or weight until you are done. What I do is do Insanity for a…

My three cents....I did Insanity and did not lose but 4 pounds in one month; however, I toned up tremendously and looked great in my clothes. I never could figure out whether I was eating enough calories. As soon as I started back jogging, I lost pounds but was not as toned. That being said, I tried Shakeology. I guess the…

MDZ79, Have you lost much weight doing Insanity? Both times, I only got through the first 30 days, and I quit because I had only lost about 4 pounds. I don't know if I wasn't eating enough or what was the issue.

Sell them on E bay. That way you make money to buy more clothes. I sell some of mine, but I also keep some of mine. That may be pessimistic, but I have been losing and gaining my entire life. I've given away all of my clothes and then had to go buy more. I promised myself if there were no more clothes, then I would really…

When I lose 25 pounds, I get to get my hair cut in a short, sassy style and get highlights!

Add me. I'm age 42, 5'2, 164 lbs with a goal of 135 lbs. I've lost 84 pounds before. I went from a size 18 to a size 4. My mom died and I gained all but 10 pounds back. I have lost 45 pounds, and I need to lose about 30 more. I just joined weight watchers again. That's how I lost it before. I am using MFP because I like…

Water is easier to drink after exercising, so I normally get two bottles in after exercising. I use the Hawaiian Punch mix ins. They are delicious! It makes water easier to drink. Also, Dr. Pepper 10 is really good. Fanta also have some really good diet sodas. Try them.

Friend me....and next time, don't delete yourself, delete the mean people. You are doing this for you. You can do this! Make a sign "I CAN control what I put in my mouth," and post it on your refrigerator along with a picture of yourself that you hate. We can do this!

Yes. I am going to cut my hair and get highlights. I have told myself I can't do this until I reach goal. I will have a new hairdo for my new attitude.

Skinny Cow has some wonderful chocolate candy in several varieties. Chocolate caramel, chocolate peanut butter, and dark chocolate crisp.Also, you can buy Chocolate smoothie mix and make protein smoothies for meal replacement or snacks. In addition, if you go to the local dollar store, most of them carry the Lance cookies…

I honestly believe your boyfriend is cheating unless there is a physical problem. This same thing happened to me with my ex. I had gained some weight after my mom died. I had gone from a size 4 to a size 12. At first he supported me, but as the months went on and the pounds came on, he became more distant. Finally, I…

I have been having the same problem. I've needed this information. I have been trying to lose five pounds for 4 months.

Thank you so much for posting this. It explained everything to me in a very clear and concise way. I didn't know why I wasn't losing. I am eating way to little. This gives me hope.

Smoothies. Keep some ingredients for smoothies or make them in the morning to take with you. Eat breakfast before you leave home, take a smoothie for lunch, and have several baggies with things like grapes, almonds, carrot sticks for snacks. If you tend to work late, then you have to make time for one of your meals. You…
