Don't go to the gym. Accept the fact that you hate it. Find an outdoor exercise that you LOVE. That you live for. And do it. Roller-blading, biking, running, walking, surfing, yoga, whatever. You won't care who is looking because you will have total focus on your own enjoyment. Then learn to feed yourself for optimum…

You're eating mostly carbohydrate, with really small amounts of protein and fat. That's why you're hungry all the time. Different things work for different people; for me, keto is doing wonders for dampening my hunger. The reddit sub helps a lot. If you're interested poke around on the site and read the FAQ.…

Do keto and work out. I lost 15 lb in two weeks back in May on keto before I stopped doing it. I was 50 lb overweight at the time, so I had a significant amount to lose, but nothing crazy that would make me lose so fast-A lot of it is water weight but that's okay if you just need to pass a weigh in. Eat high fat, normal…

You're right where I am right now in terms of weight. I keep gaining and losing the same 15, and I'm trying MIGHTILY to keep going this time, with a heavy schedule (full-time work, grad school, husband and three teenage kids). Friend me if you want an accountability buddy with the same stats!

I've been keto for two weeks and am dropping weight fast, but the last couple of days have been feeling heavily depleted, and wondered if it was my electrolytes. I went to the store and bought some NoSalt, which is a salt replacement with a significant potassium percentage. I use salt also, but bought it for the potassium…

People telling you, "I might be wrong, but it can't be safe for him to lift heavy" are talking out of their a**es. Kids in middle/high school sports lift, and lift heavy. Schools offer weight lifting classes; if it was unsafe, these classes would not be offered in our highly litigious society. As long as he has guidance…

This: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2013/08/kale-salad-with-pecorino-and-walnuts/#comments It was my dinner and I literally could eat it every day of the week. I used to hate kale.

Oh Honey! Day-uuuuuum......

You are beautiful in your after photos, but also in your before photos! Wowsa!

The first time I ran on the treadmill I heard this weird, squeaky rhythmic echoing in the gym and was trying to figure out what it was.....oh, IT'S MY CHUBBY SELF pounding away on the treadmill! I won't run without headphones either, or I'd die of embarrassment from all the noise my running creates.

I love this!

$200-$250 a week, for 2 adults, a teenage athlete, an eight year old, and 11 year old that lives with us halftime. I make practically all meals from scratch, except the kids eat hot lunch probably half of the time. We eat out *maybe* once or twice a month. It used to be more, but I was shopping less and a lot was going to…

Knee-high leather boots. I've never been able to zip them up.

My husband's sex drive has mysteriously increased...

Regrettably, the boobs were the first thing I noticed were shrinking :( Way back when I was normal weight, I was an A cup. I suspect that I'll be back to that quickly. I haven't done measurements since I started last month, but they are definitely filling the bra a little less. I'll miss being a C cup, but I 'll happily…

I love how fitness-oriented your post is- and you look really amazing! I started at the gym just about a month ago now with the goal of getting down to 145 from 193. I wanted to look good in a bathing suit and be able to buy average size women's clothes comfortably, instead of shopping plus size and looking lumpy in…

Admittedly, I'm wearing Reeboks I bought when I was pregnant with my daughter.....and she's 7!

Irrationality about food and exercise is what got a lot of people sick, overweight, and on MFP. It doesn't mean that you need professional help. Most people here have difficulty, especially at first, regulating calorie intake. And if you're overweight, um, yeah, it's a little scary to trust yourself to eat *just* a little…

I wanted to add- you've lost 75 pounds!?? That's wonderful, and a huge success! See your doctor and get some of your medical issues straightened out, ask the doc what sort of exercise you can do safely, and keep after it! I'm really inspired by your progress, considering the obstacles currently in your path; they're…

1) Keep exercising 2) Eat a little more 3) Be patient. You lost a lot of weight in the first two weeks- the loss will start to slow, but you'll still lose. 4) Go easy on yourself.

You can do it! I haven't been exactly in your shoes, but I can say that I am also a smoker struggling with the habit. I've NEVER been a gym person, until a month ago. I still smoke (sometimes on the way to the gym), but I know I'll be able to let them go as I gradually get deeper into my new lifestyle. All in good time.…

This is my main workout at the moment. I've been a smoker for 20 years, and really want to run. I want to quit smoking, and have several times over the last few years- this is a new strategy for me. I figure that if I keep increasing my speed and endurance on the treadmill as I lose weight, that eventually I'll hit a wall…

Yesterday I did 8 miles on the treadmill, half of it RUNNING! I've never been an athlete, I've been a smoker for 20 years, and I'm still 40 overweight....and I STILL did it! I really didn't think I could. I probably pushed myself a little bit TOO hard, as I'm very sore today, but it was a huge victory for me (I actually…

God, there are more trolls on these stupid forums than any place I've seen on the Net.

Seeing overweight people running is what inspired me to get off my *kitten*. Just do it; pretty soon you won't care what anyone thinks, and you will inspire people you didn't even know you were in contact with.

Because a trainer's time costs $150 an hour at a gym I'm already paying a lot for. I'm searching YouTube, I just thought someone here might have some good suggestions. Why waste your time commenting if you don't actually have anything constructive to share?

I do it, too- my fat and sugars tend to go a little too high, and I have to consciously work to get enough protein for my macro settings- 40/30/30. My potassium is also always low- I really have to WORK to get the potassium I'm supposed to have. I never realized how important potassium was until I joined MFP and saw how…

Utterly amazing! Wow! Your hard work has definitely paid off. You are a beautiful woman :)

I'm not a big smoothie person, but I found this last night and it's awesome! I drank two today (slightly modified) and it comes under 100 cal for each. Filled me up surprisingly well for a while. Recipe makes two. 1 cup honeydew melon 1 cucumber, peeled 1/4 tsp coriander Juice from a lemon or lime 8-9 mint leaves Green…
