So the message is: Are you obese and unhealthy? Well then just stay obese and unhealthy! You'll just gain it back again, you big failure, so don't even bother trying! Did it take into account that a lot of people fad diet, rather than make a serious lifestyle change and then the weight comes creeping back once the fad is…

^^These are very good ideas! What I'm doing myself (an almost former skinny fat girl) is an exercise plan from a site called FitnessBlender, they're on YouTube if you want to check them out. It's a combination of strength, cardio, kickboxing, yoga, HIIT, everything really! I really enjoy it and my body has improved…

Yup!

You can't take the sky from me...

Yes. Despite my 8 year happy relationship I do everything to please other men! LOVE ME!!!! Not at all! Never creepy. In fact a day where a random dude hasn't followed me home is a day wasted! Amirite WimmENZ? Yes always. Especially when buying me a chocolate bar. Fun size is not fun! Everyday. Ditch the rest of your…

All of this!

I use the Skechers runners with memory foam and the Go Walk ones, and I find them to be a great, comfortable shoe brand in general. The only thing that I would double check when buying is the size. I am generally a UK 5, but when I get Skechers , I have to drop to a 4. Just a small issue, and dropping a size isn't really a…

I plug these guys so much, that I should start getting paid to :P But I really love FitnessBlender on YouTube. The have literally hundreds of workout videos, but they also seem like really nice people and I love their message. Which is about reaching your optimal health, rather than trying to have the perfect body. If I…

This! Real food is the bomb-diggity! I do have a couple of low fat things I prefer for taste, like natural yoghurt. But I tried six months of "diet" food and it just made me miserable. So screw that misery!

About 350 calories: I have Alpen, with whole milk, some turkey bacon on the side, and some green tea. No idea how much fibre. I honestly don't keep track. I do eat a lot of wholegrain, fruit and veg throughout the day so my fibre level is probably pretty high throughout.

What kind of Fitbit did you have? The Flex is the only waterproof one, so if you had the one or the zip, I'm afraid you'll have to get a new one.

No it's not slutty or trashy. I'm 26 and I'm thinking of getting mine re-pierced actually.

I try to eat organic as much as possible. Not for weight loss, just a personal choice. I can honestly say that since changing there has been no major effect on my weight loss. Weight loss is simple calories in vs calories out. There are benefits to organic (like your acid reflux was maybe caused by a reaction to the…

Fitness Blender is my favourite thing on the internet right now! I'm doing their 4 Week Fat Loss for Busy People and my pants are getting a little bit loose on me! But yeah I agree with chriamaria. Mix it up. And up your calories slightly. Also make sure you're getting your 8 glasses of water, because if you're not…

I didn't check the milk on my cereal this morning, and it turned out it was sour. I really regret that. Especially since I had to throw a perfectly good cereal out, because it was covered in sour milk. And it was the last of my cereal! I never regret high calorie meals though. Unless they make me sick or I don't enjoy…

I usually get something from my Amazon Wishlist. Maybe some workout gear I've had my eye on, or a book, or something. In a couple of weeks I'm going for a massage or a facial. Partially as a "YAY! EXAMS ARE OVER!" but also I've been doing really well here too.

Bananas or coconut water! No supplement needed!

Want!!

If you eat at a deficit you'll lose weight. If I ate 800 calories a day, I'd lose weight. But that doesn't mean I'm healthy. Eating at a very low level, unless you're morbidly obese is really unhealthy. OP is probably after losing a lot of lean muscle and damaging her metabolism (hence the gain backs she spoke of). Big…

Like you just said, your doctor is okay with it. Doing this with a doctor's supervision is completely different to doing this because someone on the internet told you it was okay.

This^^ I'm 5 foot 3, and eating between 1500 and 2000 calories a day depending on my activities, and I'm dropping weight and body fat % at a steady rate. So...

I make sure to exercise but yeah I can't give it my usual gusto. My main reason for making sure is I tend to eat more than I normally would, because I have the will power of a five year old being offered sweets on my period.

Because bread makes you fat. So sayeth Ramona Flowers!

Congrats on your weight loss! I'd eat about 70-80% of my workout calories back unless you're using a heart-rate monitor to calculate your burn. MFP tends to overestimate. Also take a rest day. Even an active rest day where you just go for a walk, or do something light like Yoga or Pilates. It will help your muscles repair…

^^This! Also grill instead of fry. If you don't have a grill then pat the fat off of the burger with a napkin.

This is one of my favourite quotes from Batman Begins. I think we can apply it to most situations. "Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."

I got an armband with a space for my phone and key. I only bring my phone for MapMyFitness. Before that I used to hold my phone in my hand, and put my keys in my sports bra. I do not recommend the second one! Little red scratches on my boobs for a while after my run/walk.

I'm on a revolutionary diet called the Food Diet. I eat pretty much whatever I like within a healthy calorie restriction in order to get to my ideal weight and body fat %. I am trying to reduce how much processed food I eat, but that is a personal choice and not a requirement of the Food Diet. Everyone should join me on…

Once the chocolate fits in to your calories, it's not too bad.

I will be upping that in a couple of weeks, but life is a little hectic for me right now and I can't spare more than a half an hour unfortunately.
