I found a change in circumstances helped me - ALOT. But I'm aware that's not always as easy for most people. I suppose it comes down to determination and self discipline. Will power and self control is something I struggled with when it came to food, the first month or so were the hardest, after that, when I started to see…

That last recipe you concocted does actually sound awesome. Chicken is the only meat I eat anymore these days (still eat lots of fish) think I'll steal that idea off of you bro!

OK, so I'm probably not pear shaped, but I am fat. Les fat than I was 6 months ago, but I'm still fat.. What I noticed has helped for my physical appearance is swimming. It's defined my arms, shoulders and back. I've noticed (and everybody around me) that my shape is more defined in general, and I put this down to swimming…

Fruit Vegetables Fish Boiled rice Eggs Outside the above mentioned, I eat vast amount of different foods, but they are regular and what I would class as healthy.

I know what you mean! I do find though, that if I read the forums, it helps keep me in a positive mind about my fitness regime. On the rare occasions I find myself doubting my abilities, I can come on the forums and rediscover my motivation, just by reading through other peoples success stories! Every cloud has a silver…

Weight training is a good idea, but I focus more on cardio. I also swim 5 times a week (unless I'm working out of town) which is great for maintaining already existing muscle mass.

You should probably consider seeing your doctor, or at least a nutritionist. If I ate that lower number of calories, I wouldn't be able to think correctly, let alone exercise. I have around 1200 calories just for my dinner.

I was going to think of a rehab based comment to throw at you, in a strictly friendly/banter (ish) style, until I noticed you like Skyrim. Now I want to talk about video games >.< L4D2 anybody?

I usually eat at least 40% of my exercise calories back. I got fat because I enjoy eating. If exercise earns me calories to eat, then I'm going to do it. Besides, if you exercise and don't eat some back, you usually end up netting below the recommended allowance. Feeling hungry, tired and depleted of energy sucks.

As mentioned above, beer does account for quite a lot of calories. unfortunately, it is one of the sacrifices worth thinking about. Thankfully I have never been a big drinker, so giving it up was easier for me than it would be others. One suggestion on this front is try drinking for example vodka, with 0 calorie lemonade,…

I'd have to say the desperately thought out "would you share AIDS with the person above" or "on a scale of 1-10 how much like an African Swamp Donkey does the person above look like" threads.

This was probably the most boring and unhelpful advice I have ever read. No offence.

Monsanto comes to mind...

4lbs a month is a pretty healthy, steady and reasonable weight loss. I'd say you're not doing anything wrong. Keep doing what you're doing.

Hey man, I was pretty big myself when I started, not far off your weight, but I've managed to lose around 90lbs since May. Just stick to eating at a calorie deficit for now, then add exercise gradually, as you begin to lose weight and see a difference. Good luck man, feel free to add me. Anybody feel free to add me. The…

I successfully managed to avoid having pictures taken at my biggest, just as I avoid them now. So no, I have nothing for comparison!

I go to the gym and swimming towards the end of the day, that way I don't have to cut my sessions short for other things.

1200 calories is dinner for me. How you can NOT be hungry on such a low amount of calories is beyond me!

He sounds like a teenage boy. Doesn't know what love means/is? Lol. Explain to him what you just explained to us, take note of how he responds, then re-evaluate your circumstances from there. If he doesn't pay bills or make any kind of contribution to the household, then one assumes he would have the same approach if you…

If I don't know the weight of something, I always overestimate.

They say 80% of losing weight is what you eat, the other 20% is exercise. So focus on eating as opposed to exercise. Try eating healthier foods than what you're eating now and cut down on exercise at first, keep it balanced, log your calories, take measurements, ect. I started in May, since then I've lost around 90LBS.…

Then clearly you have difficulty reading.

I agree. Probably the most boring/pointless/retarded question ever.

Interesting.

It's not your business nor your problem. This is between her and the husband. If she's incapable of asking him to not buy her junk food, then clearly she has more issues than just food. If he goes out and buys junk, she can say "no" and throw it away/let him eat it, whatever. Unless he physically forces her to eat it, then…

If you can persuade him to join this site, and perhaps purchase a heart rate monitor, then he can track calories on here that he has eaten, and he could track calories burned with his HRM. I bought a Polar FT4, it cost me £40, so in American money that would be around $75 (I think) they're brilliant devices for tracking…

I wouldn't say easy, but it depends on the individual. I go to the gym and swim 5 times a week, I work my butt off to obtain my weight loss, but if all I did was eat at a caloric deficit, then yeah, I suppose it would be pretty easy.

You get to eat more. If you're happy surviving on 1300 calories, then don't eat them back. I can eat 1500 calories on just dinner, which makes exercise essential for me. I'd be miserable as sin if I had to survive on 1300 calories a day. Or anything under 1800 calories for that matter.
