I'm guessing (it's a semi educated guess, however), that you, on behalf of your girlfriend, basically post "look at me! I'm muscular and in shape! Therefore, I know a lot more than you do about things and you should do what I say, even if you don't want to look like me!" and when you get a response like, "but i don't want…

amazing transformation and i love your promises to yourself. You should be incredibly proud of yourself- you look fantastic, healthy, fit, and beautiful.

I'm 45. Not close to menopause yet. I've lost around 60 pounds in the last 7 months on 1200 cals per day. Only exercise is walking. Before: After (from last week's vacation)

wow... you look like a completely different person! Younger and cooler. :)

probably off and on, but I'm sure i'll remain aware of how many calories are in the choices i'm making.

a. You look fantastic! What a huge difference. b. you're my weight twin... we started at almost the same weight and I'm currently the same as you, plus we have similar figures, and wear the same size...so your pictures made me very happy. :)

Ok.. here's my story. I started here around 7 months ago at my highest weight...255 I have been eating 1200 calls a day, consistently. I'm not week, sick, or ravenous.sometimes I'm a little hungry before bed but nothing bad. So far I've lost around 60 lbs (I just got back from a vacation and I didn't log for the full…

My bestest friend's name is Liz and married to a super fit rock star too. :)

At least once a day, but sometimes twice. I wash my hair just about every day as well.

I eat 1200 cals a day and i have room for alcohol- probably twice a week. Sometimes I have a small glass of wine with dinner if it's a low cal dinner, and thursdays in my office we drink vodka. I love my job. :)

i had lost steadily for 5 months at 1200 calories, and then my weight loss stalled for 2 weeks. Not a big deal- 2 weeks is hardly anything, but my husband and I were away overnight and I ended up eating much more than I usually do. I still ate healthy choices, but I think when I added it up it was around 2000 for the day.…

wow! what a huge difference. You look fantastic!

As someone else pointed out - muscle is more dense than fat, but you probably have not put on much muscle yet. HOWEVER, when you first start a new routine, and you get sore- your muscles retain fluid and THAT weighs a lot. Plus in glancing at your diary, you had some egg rolls - probably high in sodium, which can take a…

oh my goodness, what a difference. Your face has changed so much- your beauty is really showing through.

you think a word is brainwashing you? perhaps you are giving the word too much credit. Or perhaps you are easily manipulated. Or maybe nobody seems to understand your question. (including yourself?)

1. Try selzer with lemon. in a nice glass, with ice. You'll feel like you're having a fancier drink than water and the selzer feels filling. 2. If you're really really craving something and it's too late in the day to plan it into your calories, PROMISE yourself you can have it in the morning. Most likely, you won't even…

yes, actually. For me it was almost spot on. I wrote the predicted weight in my calender and I was that exact weight 3 days after it said I would be. That's pretty close. I think on the exact day I was less than a pound away.

thanks Deb! you helped!

that sounds like mine (my post is above yours). I love hoisen sauce!

wtf. artic zero vanilla icecream? I"m in! :) I'm totally looking for this at the store next time i go.

Thanks. :) My diary is open- you can look. You're male, right? I doubt it would be enough food for a guy. I've never been a huge eater- I just used to eat a lot of candy and fried foods, and my snacks always fattening (instead of a couple of donuts, I have an apple). I can't say i'm not ever hungry- sometimes I am, but…

I have some back and joint issues, so I just walk on a treadmill (or outside when weather permits). I try to just generally move more - I got a fitbit, which helps to show me days that I sit still too much.

I bake a salmon filet with just salt and pepper. While that's cooking, I make a package of instant brown rice (lately I buy the basmati brown rice. It's so good). Throw that in a pan and add the cooked salmon, breaking it up and mixing it in. Drizzle on 2 tablespoons of hoisen sauce. I like to throw in green onions too,…

so exciting! good luck! you'll be there soon...

thanks everyone! you're posts are really heart warming!

boobs.

awesome! congratulations. :) I've been doing 1200 cals a day for exactly 6 months and have lost 54lbs. I have more energy, my hair looks the exact same, my skin is a little clearer (and I look younger). I've stopped snoring, or napping in the afternoons and I never get heartburn. There are a lot of people who say they are…

I had one co-worker (male) stop me and say, "omg... you've really lost a lot! you completely changed your whole look". the next week, I wad talking to a different co-worker (female) who I only see once a month and I said I need a new suit... none of mine fit anymore. she said, "yeah... I gained weight too." I went from a…

well the thing is, you're not me. You look like a rather muscular man, where as I am neither. When you turn into a 45 year old woman, then you'll be one of "me". 1200 calories a day probably is NOT enough for you, but its fine for me. I'm not starving. most days i'm not even hungry. I woh't have to stay at 1200 calories…

i bought a food dehydrator on amazon and make my own. I have it every day and i LOVE it. I barely add salt - mostly hot sauce and cajun spices and tons of black pepper. I have a long commute and have gotten into the (bad) habit of taking an ounce or two on my car ride, to hold me over until I eat breakfast at my desk. mmm.…
