Thing is you have to stick with for more than a week on things, I know it's frustrating. Short of surgery there is no overnight fix and it's about finding what works for you best. I also find that keeping a log of measurements vs just using a scale is very helpful. I had a 2lb gain but lost 5 inches so you have that extra…

The day my butt can fit in my comp suit....and yes I am so posting pictures when it does! The center back is 4 inches wide so I'm not kidding when I say it's TINY

35 for 2 more days lol and then I can just say I'm 25 for the 11th time this year =p From NJ also! If anyone needs support or a shoulder to vent on please do add me!

without starving.. nope. And honestly eating that little and doing damage to your body won't do you any favors and can probably set you up on a cycle where you lose some weight starving... then you eat and gain it back and on goes the cycle. Please listen to the above advice

The scale is a tool we have in weight loss but it's not the authority. What if you retain water? What if you get sick and can't hold anything down? Does that automatically mean a big loss or huge gain for you because it shouldn't. It's a naturally occurring event and fluctuations in weight WILL happen as we lose. I would…

I'd check out daily burn, if nothing more than the 30day trial offer. the 15 min workouts have been a handy way to get a little increase to activity in overscheduled days for me and I like the variety between programs
-
Have it a few times a week minimum. I use it in eggs, as a side, in salads, in shakes. Love me some spinach! Haven't gotten sick from it yet either. It was on my 'limited' foods list after my embolism due to being on blood thinners but otherwise I have not heard any negatives about it.... been off those a long time so back…

Thank you so much for posting this. Anyone seeking inspiration look no further! What an absolutely incredible transformation!

It's about balance and knowing what you can and can't do. If you aren't doing it for you there is no point. Next it will be more control and changes you need to make because he says so. Is that the life you want to live? Unless you magically went from 'model type' to You overnight he knew exactly who you are when you…

Both. Even if it is a 1 day challenge to get me working on something. Short term goals help establish habits and I think make it easier to change. Helps remind me what I wanted to do and how far I have come when I am really in a bad mood.

If you are truly going vegan that is supposed to be a lifestyle and not just what you eat. It impacts every product you eat, use for personal items and especially what you wear. Consider that and knowing all the terminology for hidden animal product names so you aren't eating animal and not knowing it. I have a 'vegan'…

Wow. Amazing work shown here =) Those still in progress, you look great and really are making a difference... those on maintenance You Are TRULY an Inspiration! Seriously well done everyone

Yep I went cardboard free years ago!
-
That's awesome! Way to go! You basically lost a whole person on the journey you've had. Very inspiring and hopefully can help motivate some folks at the start of theirs.

I find substitutions where I can and for things that I can't, I go to smaller servings so I don't feel like I am depriving myself. Was easier when I knew the extra calories in a chocolate bar would just get burned off and it wasn't a big deal so a lot of it for me was rethinking how I look at food after I had my injury and…
-
Just what I need, thank you! I'm Stacey, 35 for a couple more weeks and was 200 as of Sunday, that's my weigh day so I'll be logging in then. I gained back a good bit of what I lost falling off the wagon and not counting calories for about 7 months so I'm picking up and just trying to hold myself to small goals. 10#…

Celery, carrots, red & green bell pepper all diced and no fat ranch dressing

I came back a little lighter in the friends department after being away for a number of months... I expected that. The other stuff like intake being too low, honestly I'm not sure how to react there... if someone reaches out and the responses are pro-ed or triggering/upsetting to them, then it's distancing from being part…

I get the out of sight out of mind thinking with willpower but if he's not going to do it then you have really only two options. One - ignore them and if it is triggering a "I Have to have a snack now" feeling have safe alternatives on hand for you. Two - follow through with the threat to toss them. You don't like to waste…

1. Pounds lost: 25 2. How long it took: 20 weeks, 4 days 3. How many calories you were eating a day: I started on 12-1400, then learned about TDEE and have adjusted to 1800 slowly 4. How many days a week you worked out: First month, none, then started adding in... was in the gym 5 days a week for 2 months before some…

Start with things you *CAN* do and not what you *Can't*. You said you're too lazy to exercise, well could you do something that's not "exercise" but that gets you moving a little more? I got a fitbit and track my steps there so even on days I end up missing the gym with an extra meeting or something else going on I have…
-
I guess first questions are how are you calculating your intake. And then with calories burned, is it off the gym machines or a hrm or otherwise? If you're under or over-estimating that would explain a stall. 1200 cals is not a lot really for as much working out as you're doing and I totally agree with 89nunu.

Here's mine! Would love some more fitbit friends! http://www.fitbit.com/user/2CDSS8

Can't make everyone happy 100% of the time. No sense trying now.

SW - 192.4 wk 1 - 190.8 wk 2 - 190.8 wk 3 - 190.2 wk 4- 186.8 wk 5 - 186.0 wk 6 - 185.6 Exercise wise I am not tracking minutes, but am pushing my 10k steps daily since I got my fitbit. Should be getting in at least 30-45 minutes today +/- depending on what I end up shoveling since that's additional hard work!

Hi Ricki! Feel free to add me =) Always glad to help out our new members here!

Just want to say I give you 5.2 folks a lot of credit! Even on a migraine day when I'm sleeping most of it out due to meds I can't only eat 500. Any examples of foods that work that keep you going? Lots of veggies just seem like I'd be hangry even with the bulk you can get on such few calories.
-
quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, sweet potato are my staple cook aheads. I mix it up. I don't do "strict" anything. enjoy what I'm eating and that makes it easy. I measure my portions out with my food scale and have those set for the week. Love my steel cut oats too so I usually have a serving of those with berries…

Sounds like fun! 2/1 - 0.9 miles (migraine day) 2/2 - 4.3 miles

Cannot agree more on TDEE. I struggled going low on calories and actually stopped losing weight until I made some serious adjustments.
