Start slowly. Making drastic changes can be very overwhelming to the mind and body. For example, if you're drinking 8 glasses of soda a day, cut it down by half for a week. Then cut that by half again the week after. Go on until you cut it out completely. Soda is very bad for you anyway, so I won't even advise is as…

Hate that I can't target/spot loose ... and don't let me get started on the boobs thingy *throws hands up*

Go ahead and add me. This is an awesome site and folks you meet here will support you. One thing that I have found to work is to stay true to yourself and be accountable. All the best!

calorie deficit is the way to go, no matter what you eat and how many times a day you eat.

I take a warm cup of green tea with lemon zest by Lipton after my lunch. Love it!!

My favourite is green tea :)

ohhhh myyyyyyyy gawwwdddddd *faints*

Hi Lizz, with the health complications, I would strongly suggest that you seek advise from a doctor. They would be able to regulate the micros per your current requirement. Take care :)

a fat wallet and a slim body. Santa got it mixed up last year :P

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls ... an oldie but a goldie :)

go ahead and add me. I have another 75lbs to loose

Feel free to add me. Started mid Sept and have a great group of friends on MFP! Awesome motivators!!

BMI <30.0 by New Year Eve 2015!!

You didn't go to bed thin and wake up fat. So don't expect to go to be fat and wake up thin. If you have time to watch TV and surf the Net, you have time to exercise. There's no excuse! Exercise in the morning before you brain figures out what you're doing Fitness is 20% exercise and 80% nutrition. You can't outrun your…

welcome to the journey :) Please go ahead and add me. I've lost 25 lbs and have another 75 lbs to go.

I was advised to always switch things up as our body does get used to it. Maybe do a consistent steady pace (low or higher intensity) for certain days at various duration of time, and on other days do HIIT (10 minutes warm up, followed by 10sec super fast, and 10 secs break, repeat this for 10 minutes, then cool down) etc.…

Nah, that's why they're called predictions. Besides, I just treat them as motivation. When you eat well and within your calorie, the number looks very encouraging. If you exceed, well then you make a mental note to do better tomorrow. At the end of the day, what you eat and activities you do on a daily basis is what…

Just saw this, and I'm in!! Name: Cinthy Height: 5'3 Starting Weight (12/1):114 (something) kg Goal Weight (12/31):112.5kg 12/8:113.6 12/15: 12/22: 12/29: 12/31: Struggles or successes of the week: I'm always feeling hungry!!!

Just be cautious though ... too much protein can cause gout!

Depends on what you put into your coffee. I take it with a scoop of skimmed milk, and no sugar. Twice a day. Helps me survive :)

Once a week. In the morning. After emptying bowels. Naked.

TQ for the information on ketosis!!! Never knew that! I'm in for 10lbs by Christmas :)

It's amazing!! Get the natural extra virgin one. I get it from Cosway. I consume it - use it in cooking sometimes, I apply it as a leave in conditioner for my hair, and use it as a moisturiser for my skin - great for dry skin!

I'm consuming Nutrilite's Positrim - Chocolate, Coffee and Vanilla flavours. Also Cosway's Soy & Whey protein - French Vanilla flavour. Positrim is sweeter and not as densed. Soy & Whey is less sweet and can get thick if you don't consume immediately. It has lesser calories too. If you want to try these, I'd suggest to…

I love it, love it!! I used to use a stationery bike before, and it was good. I switched to an elliptical and it's amazing!! In the 2 months I've used it, I lost over 20 lbs, and my love handles have reduced too. I actually have a shape (and it's no longer round) :smile:

Go see a doctor and a nutritionist. You lived on 500 calories for more than a year, it might have caused harm internally although you've lost weight, you were starving yourself. That's the best advise I can give you. Good luck!

Every morning, naked and after clearing bowels. I keep track on the numbers every day, whether 1 go up or down. After a while I can somewhat predict or expect what the scale would tell me ... TOM, high sodium the day before etc. So it's up to you on the purpose of stepping onto the scale. For me, I want to know the…

Happy that it worked for you. I tried just watching my diet but it didn't yield or last. Once I started incorporating exercises, I begin to see solid results. More importantly, my body is beginning to sculpt and shape. So for me, it's a combination of diet and exercise.

Go ahead and add me ;)

I'm committed to make a lifestyle change once and for all ... have been logging in everyday and watching what I eat, and get in 5-6x a week of exercise. So, just for today, I shall: 1. Do HIIT on my elliptical. I'm scared of HIIT as I don't have the endurance for it, and not for 30 minutes. But today i'm going to attempt…
