How have people derailed you? They can only derail you if you let them. You have the choice. They aren't forcing a gun to your head. None of us said support is bad or couldn't help…but it sounds like the OP kinda thinks that's what's going to make her do it and it's not. She'll just have something else to blame (not saying…

I'd follow what mission says… I add protein powder to everything…oatmeal, hot chocolate, pumpkin pancakes, chocolate almond milk…

I think you brought a tear to my eye...

Everything I've learned in 3 years… I am a constant work in progress. I have ups and downs. No matter what I keep at it. I don't believe in fad diets or quick fixes. I don't believe in detoxes or cleanses. I believe in being brutally honest, maybe with a touch of snark. It's a lifestyle change NOT a diet. Be miserable. Or…

This…so much this… Want to lift heavy things? http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/ Stronglifts Summary http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/560459-stronglifts-5x5-summary

I gotta agree with this user. We can't motivate you. We can't make you do it. Why we can't? Because we are not physically there with you to try to motivate you to go workout or to not eat a whole bag of cookies (nothing wrong if you do and it fits your macros). YOU have to decide. YOU have to do it. It's your choice. Be…

Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time of which you have any control: now. - Denis Waitley

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. - Marcus Aurelius

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. -Wayne Dyer

You should really try to keep as much lean muscle as you can. Lifting won't make you bulky. You don't have to lift, but I would definitely recommend you at least look into doing body weight exercises, not just for your arms...

I'm sorry but bad advice is bad… You should try to keep as much lean muscle as you can while losing. You'll still lose some muscle, but once you lose muscle it's a lot harder, especially for women, to try to get it back.

I'm not usually a supporter of weight loss pills (I've been on them before…and have gained the weight back)… Please make sure while you are taking this that you take the time to learn what lifestyle changes you need to make and that you are making them while you are on this…so that when you stop taking it, you'll have…

I was just coming back to address this…yeah there may be a good one here or there…but the majority are not good. Not good at all...

Y This sooooo much this…I did...

You realize that what you are saying is not healthy. Dehydrating yourself isn't a good idea at all…which is all the wraps do is dehydrate you. OP…NDJ knows his stuff… Figure out your TDEE and go from there. Here's a bunch of helpful links…I know it'll be a lot at once, so just take your time reading thru them… I am a…

This...so much this!

One rule to rule them all... Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. -Wayne Dyer It's about moderation not deprivation. There are no good/bad foods, only bad eating habits. Do or do not, there is no try. You have to want it, you have to work for it, you have to realize that…

We like humor here. We actually love it. No one was trying to insult you. Sometimes this weight loss thing gets WAAAAY too serious...we need laughs. Which isn't laughing a good ab workout? I wonder how many calories I burned this AM watching my cat slip off a step and into the dogs water bowl... Thanks for being a good…

Save your money. You don't need snake oil. It doesn't do any of those things you hope it would… Happier moods? Change your mindset. Better sleep? Try getting 7 hours at least of sleep. Write down 3 things you are grateful for before bed and it'll make you happier AND sleep better. Healthier? Eat well, work out, and that'll…

I love you.

Thanks love...but now I must go...

You probably want more body recomp than weight loss...look into strength training..such as convict conditioning (if you don't have access to a gym)...If you have access to a gym look into New Rules of Lifting for Women or Stronglifts Want to lift heavy things?…

I'm sorry, but this kinda made me chuckle. I think this bird might burn more calories...

Too add to this...I'm a vegetarian of 24 years. I'm overweight. Becoming vegetarian doesn't mean you'll lose weight. I've known vegans who were obese. One has nothing to do with the other.

I love you for that gif.

If you fail you know what happens? You learn. You learn, you grow, you change. Though I don't like the word fail so I use flail… "Bruce, why do we fall?………so that we can learn to pick ourselves up."
