I'm going to be real honest here, hopefully it doesn't offend anyone. Being a big guy all my life I haven't really had the chance to date or be with many women. There are a few girls who are my friend who for obvious reason's aren't attracted to me. I realize it's not that they're shallow but it would be unrealistic to…

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a direct cause of plateaus as most people's bodies are different. Many people believe that plateaus are caused by large fluctuations in water weight as you can easily go up or down by almost 10 pounds based simply on the amount of water in your body. If your body was having a slight…

It's important to understand that any form of diet where you are losing weight requires you to eat less calories than your body is consuming. This is how you actually lose weight. For example, say you were a female, age 25, 180 pounds and 5'2. On average you body would burn about 1820 calories a day without any extra…

I would not worry too much about starvation mode, that really will only affect people that are closer to their target weight. It's actually fine to not eat the calories back that you worked out. And you cannot permanently damage your metabolism without doing something much more drastic. But be aware that at 1200 calories…

Burning 2000 calories a day is really extreme, I normally wouldn't aim for such a high goal. If you have access to one, an elliptical machine (most gyms have them) will burn around 600-700 calories an hour. Jump roping is also very good at burning calories and building leg muscles (and arm muscles if you use weighted…

Doing push-ups from your knees definitely helps. I also could not do push-ups at first, and could barely do push-ups from my knees. About 6 months ago I could only do about 5 knee push-ups, now I normally do about 100 a day. I can do about 5-10 regular push-ups, but after talking to my trainer it's still best to keep doing…

I really wouldn't cut out bread. Unless you are trying for some ultra low carb keto diet bread will not hurt you. Hit your calorie goal and you'll be fine. If you do want to cut back on bread, I would recommend trying out some of Nature's Own sliced bread, specifically this one (Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat):…

I recently looked into this and the best one I could find was the Eatsmart Precision Plus: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032TNPOE/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details It's a very good scale, looks really nice too. It has a larger footprint than most scales so it does take up a little more room, but it makes it easier to stand…

I think another thing to consider is how much you work out. You do not seem to be recording any workout sessions in your diary. If you are working out burning 300-500 extra calories a day then you could be severly cutting your calories too low reducing your metabolism and slowing your weight loss. I also agree with the…

I think that most fast food places aren't necessarily healthy, but there are options to eat healthier depending on what you order. For instance, take Carl's Jr. (or Hardees depending on where you live) sure if you went there and ordered a large super star combo you're looking at 1500+ calories not including a drink, but at…
