Advice - Eat more calories. You're 5'7 and workout 3 days a week! no 1,200 calorie diets for you. Quickly searching the forums will give you a clear idea why it's not a good idea and won't help you in the long run! Calculate the correct amount of calories on a calculator outside of MFP, to determine your "TDEE" (total…

There will be a lot of naysayers here, I'm sure. It does pay off. Mentally, physically, and in every other way possible. You will lose weight eating anything, as long as it;s a deficit. However, you won't feel as good nor most likely look as good as you could if you ate more nutrition-packed foods. I'm not sure how anybody…

Because you feel rejected, and that you can't get your feelings across because nobody is willing to listen. My advice would be to either keep contacting them trying to make amends, or cut all contact for a period of time. Don't do anything in the middle.

Cottage cheese Sundried tomato italian spices sunflower seeds bacon bits green onion/chives tomato avocado love pairing it with a rye thin. I SERIOUSLY JUST ATE THIS AND IT WAS THEBOMBDOTCOM I couldn't believe it. I usually just eat black pepper on my cottage cheese and this was a complete shock. AMAZING.

Exercise more. It'll curb your appetite, release feel-good hormones, and make you WANT to eat healthy. Try to get friends to go with you to provide support and company! Also, experiment with cooking new foods.

I'll join! I'm down for Gryffindor or Hufflepuff!

Most people don't become vegetarian because it's healthier. A lot of times, being a vegetarian leaves you lacking in the health department. The main reason people switch is for moral issues.Meat isn't unhealthy :) That being said, if you're disgusted when eating meat, learn to cook your own foods rather than relying on…

This is just want people *want* to hear to prevent them from even feeling like they have to try. Sad that they post this kind of stuff, and then the next segment probably promote some new diet syrup or some crap!

Bumping for others to witness this necessary PSA :P
-
thanks! I'll check that out.
-
thanks!
-
yum! that sounds really great!
-
seconding this. Cold water and tricks aren't going to help you lose weight - being dedicated to logging and living a healthier lifestyle will. Also, being 18 doesn't really matter. You can be any age and do the exact same exercises! Look into Blogilates or FitnessBlender on youtube to get you started.

Brush your teeth! It actually makes you not hungry, I promise. I didn't think it worked either, but seriously I don't even want to eat food for like 30 mins after I've brushed. Also, try to do a teeny bit of exercise! It makes you not hungry for a while (in my case)

Would you... Would you like a trophy? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

bad.

Yes I have cut white out. And I'll never go back! (except for some cookies and cake occasionally :laugh: :wink: ) I prefer whole grain and whole wheat. My body feels better, I feel fuller, and I don't get hungry as quickly. Oh,the joys of whole grain!

I started with barbells (Doing stronglifts currently) I also started with just the bar, as it suggests. I have a 35 pound bar (women's bar apparently) and have been adding 5lbs every work out. It was really easy at first (because I have years of light weight training under my belt) but now that the weight's going up and…

good one! haha

Bump!

your question: What do I need to do to start dropping weight?! BE PATIENT! Eat at a caloric deficit and there is literally NO WAY you will not lose weight. Don't rush things, Rome wasn't built in a day!

Thanks so much for all of your replies everybody. I'[ll put all of your comments into consideration!
-
Great job! I'm starting soon, and this is very inspirational :D
-
amaaazzinggg progress everybody! Bump :)

Hide them in smoothies, cook them in dishes, and pretty much treat yourself like a kid. Some good recipes to sneak veggies in: lasagnas, macaroni dishes, crusts/breads, muffins, soups, etc. You can seriously get them in anything as long as you disguise them right!

Nobody should be bullied because of what they look like. Your weight shouldn't be a factor in how people treat you.Every body should be celebrated for what it is, regardless of weight, height, skin color, etc. That said, I don't feel that we should "promote" it. It is frowned upon to promote and support anorexia or bulimia…

what a sweetie! Nice that he's reading labels for you!

haha, maybe! :laugh:
