  • I started two years ago with a goal of dropping 100 pounds. I only have 25 pounds left to go. My advise is to take is slow and be realistic about your goals. Rapid weight loss, without surgical intervention, often does not translate into long term success. Take the time to change your behavior and focus on overall health,…

  • I switched cold turkey to a vegan diet August 2013 and have not looked back. I feel great and it really helped me get off the weight loss plateau that I had been on for several months. Roughly one third of my daily food is raw, and would like to get that up to 50%. I also juice mostly vegetables on a fairly regular basis,…

  • The daily calorie goal works for me. Most often I don't eat back the calories that I burn through my 6 days a week exercise, I do make sure to meet my daily calorie goal. If you stick to the daily goal, and track all of your calories, you will be successful.

  • Hello Katie, welcome. I started using the site back in January and found it to be a great tool. I, like you , was at my heaviest point. The site helps me hold myself accountable for what I put in my mouth. It also helps me make sure that I am eating at least 1200 calories a day. The bottom line is that getting rid of the…

  • I found that the weight was slower to come off my hysterectomy. I had everything removed including my ovaries, so the shock to my body of not having any estrogen at 45 was big. My recovery was quick since I had a lap hyst, but it is important to follow the doctor's order on weight lifting restrictions. I was back to work…
