I really agree for me personally because I believe this process is so individual and everyone has different experiences with what works for them. I actually changed over the last few years what tastes good to me and I gave up gluten. What that has done is allowed me to not have to count calories anymore. Eating the right…

No my assumption is just like yours, wrong. I never critisize people who are working hard at changing their lives. Making stupid judgements such as eating disorders because people don't do it the way you are doing it is just plain silly. Believe me, it will not go wrong, I am the healthiest I have ever been and I am…

Sorry I don't like being told I have an eating disorder. We can all make excuses. I too struggle financially but my health and what I eat are my main priorities and that includes seeing a doctor. In fact my doctor told me my cholesterol and blood look better than she has seen in quite some time. This was after my 30 day…

some never learn I guess.

The point is that it isn't a mistake and it has changed my life for the better. I am not screwing up my body. I have a doctor as I stated and she checks my blood regularly. But if you want to stick to your overprocessed food diet, that is just fine with me. I will meanwhile be enjoying all my health benefits.

Again, ignorance is bliss apparently

Again, how do you know it can hurt you and your ignorance is getting ridiculous. I am consuming calories, once you chew your food it becomes liquid anyway, I am not just drinking water. I eat all natural healthy foods when I am not juicing and I add flax seeds to my juice. To assume this is not healthy is ridiculous. I…

haha oh yes and all the food you eat is completely natural. Fruits and veggies are as natural as it gets. I think you need to do some more reading. Short term juice fasts change peoples lives for the better and that is fact!! Not the garbage your are spouting out.

Oh please, are you a doctor?? How can you make a statement that it isn't healthy to juice for short periods of time? Many people will disagree with you. They are still calories, vitamins and minerals and your body processes it the same way. And there are methods of IF that include days without solid food. Again, do your…

I was referring to you weak and closed minded. It takes a very strong person to do what I have done. there are plenty of people that practice intermittent fasting and they are anything but unhealthy. Please keep your ignorance to yourself. I get my blood work done every 6 months (no excuses) and eat tons of fruits and…

weak and closed minded, nice. I certainly don't have an eating disorder!!! I am super healthy, confirmed by blood work and my doctor. Are you?

I did a 30 day juice fast over the holidays, throughout December and half of January. Juice has become my medicine. I cannot say enough great things about it. It moves my weight like nothing else has been able to. It is not a quick fix for me. It gives me tons of vitamins and minerals and I can definitely see myself…

Or, you can actually skip breakfast and save more calories for later :)

also HRM only work properly with cardio when your heartrate is up, they are not meant to be worn for 10 hour shifts and the burn would not be accurate. You didn't get 90 lbs overweight by eating the right types of foods. You will have to do some soul searching and figure out if you are willing to do what it takes to do…

Over the course of about 2 years I have officially re-taught myself to crave healthy food. I started paying attention to the way I felt after I ate certain things and then started giving things up slowly but surely. I have a huuuuge appetite but I eat a ton of fruits and veggies which adequately fill me and satisfy me. It…

I can only remember that I was an emotional wreck and craved them for a while afterwards. I became a riteous non smoker in order to stop for good. It was a long time ago but I am sooo happy I did it. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Congrats to you!!! You must be so proud of yourself!! I remember not…

Sick of being unhappy and struggling. I need the sun and warmth instead of all this cold. I need a vacation from my life.

Also a great idea converting your weight into another measure like mentioned above. Pounds affect me and my vision of self worth. I did that too because the scale has been horrible to me along this process. I was weighing in KG till I achieved normal weight. Now I am ok but still only weigh once in a while. My clothes are…

Get on the scale and realize it is a starting point. I would say put it away after you initially get on it and then wait for a month. Then you will have a huge loss when you weigh the next time and it will be fantastic. Most people make the mistake of getting on every day and then get frustrated when progress is too slow.…

I really wish that I could choose where I wanted my weight to come off from. My face is the first thing to go and my butt, hips and thighs, and tree trunk legs are the last. It is definitely genetics but eventually it will come off from where you want if you can stand to be patient enough with this process. :) I am…

yes it is so individual. I found that tracking everything made me obsess about food and it became unhealthy for me specifically. I get my blood checked twice a year and am very proactive about my health. I believe myself to be the healthiest I have ever been in my entire life and I am 41. :) Crazy it took so long to figure…

What I did was train myself to crave different foods. I started by removing gluten, my biggest weakness and addiction. Eventually I made fruits and veggies the core of what I eat and I crave them. One baby step at a time. I am now confident that this will be the very last time I will ever have to lose a significant amount…

I think it varies from person to person. Personality and confidence goes a long way towards attractiveness and everyone is different with their tastes too. I try to let the person show me who they are before I decide whether they are attractive or not. I have known people who are beautiful on the outside become completely…

Congrats on the pregnancy!!! Your doctor is definitely the right person to ask or do some research. I would pay attention to your body and if it needs food don't deprive it. Just choose what you are eating wisely. The baby will take what it needs.

I don't log anything anymore. The numbers make me crazy and I don't intend to do it forever anyway so I have to see where my own personal limits are. I am successful anyway and have the best and most supportive friends on this site. :)

I too am feeling depressed due to many reasons. I am trying to come up with solutions without having to go on medication. I am going to run in the sun today for starters because my vitamin D is low and start taking St John's Wort. Exercise does amazing things as well as what you are eating. I spin out of control…

wow this thread is wonderful and inspiring. When I was at my biggest I stayed far away from the camera. I also am getting rid of all my clothes as soon as they get too big so I don't have any excuses to get bigger again. I choose to look forward but seeing all you guys makes me motivated to keep going so thank you all…

now that you are close to goal it is probably time to put the scale away and pay attention to the mirror and the way your clothes fit instead.

I like to save my calories to one big meal a day so I feel full and satified. You have to figure out what it is for you. I also like feeling empty so I have both feeling every single day. Eating every 2 hours does not work for me at all. Nor does counting calories because it makes me obsess about food. You have to find…

Fantastic you are reaching out. Depression is a nasty beast. You need to set up a good support system both where you live and online so people can help you get out of bed and motivated. I think it will help once you start losing weight regularly too. Exercise and endorphins actually help with depression. The hardest part…
