Some great advice in here, namely the advice about stop demonizing certain foods and don't restrict what you see as them. I've been consistently logging every bit of food that goes into my mouth - I haven't deprived of myself of anything when I really want it, and when I do, I eat a *normal portion* and have no issue…

^ What FatFreeFrolicking said. You want to see a registered dietician, not a nutritionist. RDs are accredited, and have undergrads in nutrition. Any random person can claim to be a nutritionist.

I think you really need to be focusing on finding out what's going on with you rather than trying to lose weight. You *haven't had your period.* Something is going on. Get a second, third, fourth opinion if you need to. Something isn't right here.

I've seen this. My issue with it is that it doesn't give one inkling of information on the long-term effects of the weight loss. If it was kept off long-term, that's great. If not, what's the point? It really has everything to do with the mentality of the person, as well. It's far more damaging for a lot of people to weigh…

Okay...so...you want to keep trying a low-carb diet even though it's unsustainable for you and you gained it back? Why not try to change your eating habits in a way that keeps the weight off for good and doesn't require you to maintain an unsustainable diet?

It could be a habit of a chronic maintainer, you're correct. I should have elaborated: Daily weighing without being able to remove judgement from what number the scale gives you is not going to help anyone. There ARE people who can weigh daily, see that they've gone up a pound or two overnight, but shrug and can not go…

Seriously, right? Random statement with no backup. Secondly, it's not about losing weight quickly. It's about losing it and KEEPING it off. Weighing daily is the habit of chronic dieters - people who clearly are not able to KEEP weight off.

Then you weren't getting fat overeating broccoli. You were getting fat because you were adding things to it. That was making you fat. NOT the broccoli.

Exercise is for fitness, not being a primary method of weight loss. Weight loss that sticks needs to be through diet change. Learn how to eat properly. Eat normally. Control your portions. This is a matter of learning to develop a normal relationship with food, which is why it's actually very common for obese people to get…

Everyone here saying not to feel guilty or shame over your misstep is right. They are saying it for a reason. Harboring shame over food hasn't helped you in the past, has it? It just makes you feel worse. It makes you berate yourself. It makes you terrified of not eating the 'perfect' food at your next meal. If you feel…

Imo the holy grail of non-meat whole foods with protein are CHICKPEAS. They pack a wallop. Like melimomtardis mentioned, a protein supplement might need to be used. I eat meat and I even have a hard time getting my full amount most days. But, just off the top of my head, foods that have lots of proteins: almonds, cottage…

...I say that, but I also can't help mouthing off to peons. :#

Davisjenn, I wouldn't even bother responding to a person like that. Anyone who feels the need to make those sort of comments clearly has no interest in actually trying to help. :)

I'm in for the long haul, myself 200+. Learning how to have a healthy relationship with food and work on my own self-worth, please feel free to add me if you want support and need someone to nudge you to be a bit more loving to yourself!
-
In what way is this comment remotely helpful or constructive? There are people who genuinely have no idea how to come with an overwhelming urge to eat because of various reasons, whether it simply be they just love the taste of something too much or have use food as an emotional coping mechanism. Either way requires…

Can I ask what you mean by binging? Are you completely disallowing yourself from eating biscuits at your lower calorie goal?
-
Hey there, I have quite a bit more than 100 to lose but have recently started reaching out to people on the community for accountability. Please feel free to add me. I know how emotional eating can be utterly overwhelming at times and would love more people to be able to talk to about such things. :)
-
TrajanAz: Yeah, changing my routine is really the big thing for me. While I have the momentum now to let habit changes be "easy," I'm hoping to keep them long enough so falling back into my old bad habits won't seem as easy to do. Cincy: Hah! Honeymoon period. That's a very accurate feeling for my state right now. I know…

That's amazing, therealhales. Incredible to hear and I know exactly how you feel. I know this last year I had gained weight, but I was deluding myself I hadn't reached that 400lb park yet...when I finally weighed myself one day and saw I did I wondered what the hell I was doing. As someone with massively disordered eating,…

Hey there, I know how you feel and I definitely empathize with the urge to be hard on yourself. We have to learn to love ourselves more! I'm currently at my highest at 436(really horrifying for me to admit this,) and am going to be setting shorter, smaller goals for myself because the entire number is honestly terrifying…

Hi Amanda, I am in the 100+ boat myself. I'm definitely trying a serious run at this and would love to help motivate you and be motivated! Feel free to add me if you like.
