I suggest you slow down and reevaluate your weight loss at a healthy speed. No more than 2 lbs a week or you may hurt yourself.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm about 15 lbs away from you with nearly the same amount of weight loss. It's nice to reflect on someone who has traveled a similar path and see that they look truly awesome. It helped me look at myself differently. Thank you again.

Food can become just as strong of an addiction as drugs. Processed and foods served in restaurants tend to be created with just the right amount of fats, salts, and sugars to trigger your brain into the addictive cycle of eating more and more. Rather than stepping into the world of the "diet" and deprive yourself, start…

I've found that it's all about calorie deficit and getting the exercise to balance both your metabolism and body in general. Through the years I've learned that you should make every calorie count, in other words, eat foods that give you a proper amount of nutrition. When you're restricting your calories it's a must that…

I agree with this entirely. Thank you, and well said.

I'm in! 5' 8" lost 82 lbs, looking to lose another 40. Started off at 292, currently 210, looking for 170 as a goal. I've started slowing down so motivation is much needed!

Sometimes looking at the overall picture can make it seem daunting. You have some limitations that make the process more difficult, but you can overcome and meet your goal. I suggest that you stop focusing on the whole and look at one piece at a time. Set small goals that you can accomplish and climb that ladder one step…

Here is your problem ^ Believe it or not you're not eating enough calories to compensate for the amount of calories you're burning. I struggled with this for a long time until I was ready to have a mental break down. I knew everything I ate, I worked out hard, and everything came to a stop. You -must- eat your calories…

I've got one! It was awful picking out clothes that would never have fit me before and when I tried them on? I actually smiled in the mirror. It was a horrible experience!

Dani, I think it's wonderful that you're starting on the road to recovery. That's what this is for all of us. We are learning to be healthier and happier with who we are. Something I noticed in your message is that you're dreading this "diet". I've learned something recently that really helps that frustrating frame of mind…

This show has been an awesome addition to Sunday nights. My favorite character is Daryl and I swear if they kill him off I'll riot! I think he has a good chance to have revenge on the Gov, but I also see Milton coming through to take him out when he discovers that he has Andrea in his clutches. All-in-all I don't find any…

Thank you everyone! These are all really great suggestions! I'm going to dive into this strength training and I'll let you know how it works out.

I'm glad you've found MFP. This place is a great resource for help and direction. You need to take this step by step, looking at the big picture can be very overwhelming, but it's completely possible. You're welcome to add me as a friend for support. I've been down a very long road myself full of ups and downs and I'm more…

I had the same problem you're having and in the end it was all about not eating enough calories. Now on the days I work out I relax a bit and eat more healthy calories with each meal. Not only did I feel more energized during my work out but the weight loss resumed. Only stick to your 1,300 number on days you're not…
