If you do this every morning then you could be angry with yourself but once in a while or once a week that is okay you have to treat yourself or you will get bored with your diet (or life style change) and then you will have failed. If you keep your calories down the rest of the week then you are fine. Do try to drink more…

How tall are you? Do you have any illnesses that would keep you from exercising? You do need to try to exercise every day for at least thirty minutes and get more protein, and even if it sounds funny you need to eat at least 6 times a day SMALL meals cheese and fruit, chicken salad that you can make yourself.

You actually need protein and more protein just means that it will take longer for you to get hungry again.

As you lose weight you will have energy to go to the gym and you will not feel so depressed:smile: You need to talk with your doctor about the thyoid issue your meds might need to be adjusted or changed. The thyoid can cause all the things you have just talked about. Talking about it helps and you need to have friends to…

Hi. I have lost 90 lbs and feel great. When you lose weight you have more energy and you will more than likely feel better to. But whatever you do DON'T give up your favortive foods just don't eat them every day and use them as treats like when you lose 10lbs and then only eat one of your favortives.:flowerforyou:

You can eat what ever you want to just be careful how much , and how often :smile: 1200 is just a number and you can use it as a guide. I hate to…

Try Quackers popped chips they are really rice cakes butthey taste good and between 100 to 120 caloris for about 15 mini cakes.

I have lost 85 lbs. and on the weekends I…

You are gaining muscle and not fat. You will gain some but you will not show it , muscle weigh more than fat and as you gain you are gaining muscle which will make a big difference in how you feel.:smile:

Cardio is great and I don't know where you heard that doing only cardio will cause muscle loss along with fat loss, because I have lost 82 lbs and for about 4months I have only been doing cardio and I have increased my muscle weight buy about 20 percent of course I am doing alot of walking with my job.

The surgery is necessary forsome people it is NOT the easy way out. That being said surgery is not at all easy and your stomach is not removed it is still there you can bypass the surgery and gain the weightback but why would you? You have to understand some of the people who have had the surgery have been overweight all…

1200 can be enough if you eat the right foods and get enough protein. Eat your protein first and then eat your veggies and if you are still hungry eat your fruit, also use a smaller plate like a salad plate as your dinner plate and the food will fill it up and your eyes will be convinced that your meal is enough. Make sure…
