Wait a while after you are finished losing. You will see some skin tightening naturally. I am 5yrs after a 100lb loss and at first I was pretty lose and flabby but most of it is gone now. There is still some but I am ok with it now most days. I think I would advise waiting at least 2yrs. You will see most of the…

Yes we are accusing you of being wrong. Not lying. We believe you believe what you are saying but we believe you are wrong. There is no way, none, it does not happen to eat fewer calories than you burn and gain weight. Are you weighing everything you eat? Are you over estimating your calories burned? You are not the victim…

There are no one size fits all tricks. I am a huge sugar addict. The caffine in diet soda helps combat the lows from the lack of sugar initially so it did help me. As far as tricks to get your body off of sugar remember sugar is part of more than candy. There is a ton of sugar in things like bread crackers sauces and even…

My range was 5lbs at first but that was working from a base of 123. In theory I should drop down to 118 prior to vacations and Christmas so that I return to 123 after. Theory didn't pan out last year due to some health concerns so I found myself at 128 before vacation/Christmas season and 133 after. Now I am having to do…

Almost 5yrs on maintenance here. 1. Keep weighing yourself at least weekly 2. Gradually increase your calories until you reach the balance point where you do not gain or lose 3. Diet in anticipation of trips or big events not after them. Its just easier and less depressing. Think of it like having a savings account rather…

Are you weighing your food. If not we cannot help you. No one can help you until you weigh everything because any assumptions you are making are wrong 100% of the time. If you are weighing your food then you are assuming you are burning more through exercise than you are actually burning. Cut the calories you are giving…

Track everything. You eat more than you think - everyone does. Get a food scale and weigh everything to the gram for a while. It is a major pain but it will pay off. Don't count your walking around calories. Everything you are currently doing is what you have to do to be the weight you are now so to lose weight you have to…

In all things balance. This is not that hard. 1. Eat carbs but make sure that they are the kind of carbs that give real nutritional value and have fiber so that you don't feel hungry again in 10m. 2. Eat fat but not in a way that is wasteful like deep frying things. Eat fats that come with good things like nuts, avocados,…

In all things balance. If you over eat one day you have to either accept that you will gain weight or use a combination of diet and exercise to compensate for that decision. No one says you have to feel guilt but you will have to pay whether you like it or not. Not knowing how much the bill is doesn't mean you don't owe…

If you are not under doctor's orders to reduce sodium I would not worry about it. If you are exercising at all you probably need additional sodium to compensate for sweating anyway.

I breastfed and dieted at the same time. You need to make sure that what you eat is 100% the nutrients you and the baby need no junk. If you are cutting calories your body will give the milk calories before it gives them to you but it has to have the nutrients to give those so you have to hit those numbers or it will steal…

First there is no such thing as eating too few calories to lose weight. There is such a thing as eating too few calories to get the nutrients you need to be healthy but even that will not prevent you from losing weight. If you are not losing weight there are only 2 possible causes: 1. You are retaining water If this is the…

Yes and no. I am just pass the 4yr mark and I have gained about 10lbs of the 100lbs back. I have to kick my own rear every once in a while to get back on track. It is really easy to fall back into old habits. You will need to step on the scale forever and adjust what you are doing when that number changes. We don't get to…

You shouldn't worry too much about supply. Your body will steal from you to make milk. Focus on quality instead of quantity. You need to get the right nutrition so that your body doesn't steal things like calcium or iron from you but that does not mean you need to eat more to do it. If most people take a serious look at…

People have to be ready to change and your struggles are different than your SO's. Look at my profile picture. Your job is not to change someone you love. I struggle with sugar cravings. I am pre-diabetic and well within my ideal weight range. I actually eat a healthy diet and get exercise so diabetes is genetic for me.…

I posted a couple times. I didn't get any negative comments and many people said it helped them get inspired to start. I think it also keeps me accountable. If I post then everyone notices and then I have to keep it up. Part of the reason I have been able to keep my weight down in the three years since I lost it was…

This is me in the costume but I made it for a friend's daughter so its a little big on me. I had to work on getting the blood soak through at the right spots so I figured as long as I needed to wear it I might as well do the rest of the paint and take a couple of silent hill nurse selfies.

I did it completely alone by choice. I am the one who will have to live in this body and eat or not eat what is on my plate. Whenever I tried to diet with other people they want to do the same thing at all times. No two people are the same so no diet will work the same for any 2 people. I might want to walk 4.0 today and I…

You have to develop a routine. You need to step on the scale very often. Some say 1 time a week other 1 time a day but in the end you shouldn't let even a day go by that you don't think about your health and eating. Develop a range (Mine is 118 - 124) when you notice the scale leave that range adjust the diet until it is…

The weight gain reaction is likely caused by the slightly drowsy effect it gives. When we are tired or foggy we are more inclined to eat because our bodies see food as energy and seek the quick fix a hit of sugar can give. Its probably nothing that can't be adjusted for as long as you know it might occur.

Just switch to diet soda. There is nothing wrong with it. I drank diet coke every single day of the 9 months it took me to lose the 100lbs and I have drank diet coke every day since.

When you first start working out you retain massive amounts of water to aide in muscle recovery, this can make the scale stay flat while you actually lose fat. Be sure you do not ever eat back all the calories this site recommends though. It 100% of the time over estimates the amount burned by at least 25% and usually…

I am pre diabetic and since I am already thin and work out 5 days a week I have few options other than changing which food groups I eat and medication. What % of each does your doctor recommend you eat?
