I'm 20 trying to lose 50lbs!

18 with about 20 pounds to go :) add me if you wana

Our biological father has always been overweight, until his heart attack last year. Now he's lost some weight mainly because his new wife is a health nut and the meds he's on. Our mom is a "Thin is happy" kind of person.. She gets mean when she tries to talk to her about it... She's more into the look aspect than the…

That's one of the reasons I'm on my diet :smile: we've been together a little over a year and a half and we plan on marraige

I've given up straight forward attempts because she just shuts down... Now i just stick to subtle hints.. Offering to cook for her so that her meals are healthier, asking if she wants to walk to the park thats a mile from our house, or the store thats 2 miles away... She usually agrees to it... But 2 healthy meals a week…

I'm more worried about the health aspect... She's complained of pain in her arm and getting really dizzy.... I don't want to see her have a heart attack at 16 :frown:

Mine's slow sometimes too. It's usually because so many people are on at the same time it has to think about it

Ya i try to kick her out of the kitchen whenever I can (I'm a better cook anyway :bigsmile: ) just so i can choose what i get to eat. Most of the time she makes balanced meals but then puts waaaay too much on my plate and my stepdad will scold me for wasting if i dont eat it all :grumble: so iv had to remind her constantly…

And body type has alot to do with how much of what you should have

I'm on a 1200 limit and its working out for me. Calorie intake is based on height, weight, age, lifestyle, gender, and tons of other factors. I have friends who are the same size, same age, but eat more calories because they are more active.

Y ou can eat them if you want to, it wont hurt you. But only eat them back if you are hungry, not just because you can.

6 tsp not tbsp but ya i usualy have sugar free creamer but my mom picked it up for me. I also usually don't eat so many sweets (but with christmas I got so much candy and cookies that they're tempting :frown: ) but im usualy over my sugar even when i dont eat extra sweets. plus i have 3 little siblings under the age of 8…

I had always thought yoga was just glorified stretching until I tried it :laugh: I just started getting into it a week or so before I joined MFP and was surprised how much it worked my muscles. Another idea is basic Tai Chi :smile:

For exersises try yoga :smile: It works you out alot more than you'd think, but it doesnt take alot of energy

:flowerforyou: Congrats on reaching your goal btw In all honesty though, if he's the one that was complaining about your weight he should be a little more supportive :ohwell: Maybe you could sit him down and talk to him about it?

I don't have a hubby, but I am in a serious long term relationship. It could just be that he doesn't see why you want to lose weight (or doesn't want it to seem like HE wants you to). My bf just keeps saying "You look fine, but if you feel you need to lose weight go for it." I can tell that he would love if i were thinner…

I eat when I'm bored and stop eating when I'm upset. They're both really bad habits, but both breakable. Some tips that work for emotional and bored eaters are to- 1. Stop and ask yourself why you're eating. If it's for any reason besides being hungry, STEP AWAY FROM THE FOOD 2. If you can't control the cravings, pick…
