In response to all those forum links... honestly I am not sure what they say... but I found that when I wasn't eating enough I lasted with GOOD energy for about 3-4 months just fine... this is eating at the 300 calorie level... I ate ALL day but it was very low calorie stuff like tofu and celery and spinach etc. I am vegan…

I really don't think that she was stating any of this to say she just wanted to be skinny. I think she was just saying the crap that people read other people who dont know **** say, isn't always true. Truth is, there ARE studies that show that your body does go after muscle if you starve yourself for long enough especially…

i use mushroom caps as burgers... you just heat them up on the stove until tender and then place them either on a bun or i prefer them open faced with spinach and ketchup and mustard.

It's completely true.... nail ON HEAD. Personally once I got to my original goals I kept making them lower and lower because I wasn't satisfied... I wasn't satisfied because I still felt like the girl at her big weight. I still feel all the same things and think all the same things. My mind completely has NO caught up with…

Hey all... I am 4'11 on a good day... like 4'10 3/4 but I say 4'11 always. I started at 185 and now I am at 122... would like to be down between 110 and 115 but am mostly focusing on building a lot of lean muscle right now... so even a 2 lb loss this month with a .5 lb muscle gain would be nice. Finally got into size 4…

I was pretty compulsive too. Typically the 2nd or 3rd time was right. Only usually 1 or 2 lbs off. Depends on when you do it etc. I started hiding my scale away. I mean I know where it is but if I don't have it accessible I weigh every day and every second... I weigh morning noon night... just to see my water flux. I have…

Thanks for posting this. This is great!

Honestly --- she's probably feeling a little guilty herself. I find that when I am around people who are eating a ton of crap and I choose not to eat it, it makes them feel bad for eating it because they already KNOW it's bad for them. I mean it is no secret most of what we snack on isn't very healthy. I know that when I…

Try also more veggies. The day that I started eating more veggies and and maybe less dairy/meat/carb/fruit the more weight i lost. It was REALLY hard to change that, and I still love fruits and carbs etc... and eat them... but its important to get a LOT of veggies into your diet. Also make sure you give your body a rest…

Yah... ever since i was my heaviest I was afraid to eat. I figured whatever I ate I would gain weight. I would breath and gain weight... and now that I have been calorie restricting for like 5-6 months at like 300-450 calories a day (and then working out 45 mins 6 times a week) I am realizing that it is a really really…

I know this is kind of late.... but I am totally one of those 300 calorie a day eaters and there was a time when I was starting that I didnt exactly realize that what I was doing could harm myself. And when I did, I made my diary private. I didn't want people knowing how bad I actually ate--- meaning, how little I ate....…

I can technically eat more as I get to my goal, I am just finding that I have very steady weight loss at the caloric level that I am at..... I guess my thought was that when I got a few lbs under my goal weight, I would just add 200 calories every couple weeks until I got up to maintenance calories.

I JUST went through this. JUST went through it. I didnt GAIN but I wouldnt lose either. Give it a couple days and you will be alright champ. :D

I agree with all of the above. People cheat and look elsewhere because of problems with THEM not because of problems with YOU. It's hard not to take it personally especially when they blame your looks etc. but he is just pushing off his own insecurities to make you think it's your fault. It's not. He doesn't want to take…

When my partner and I met, both of us had horrible diets.... and I specifically ate a LOT of meat where-as she really only did ground turkey and steak. Currently I eat mostly vegan, though I am not super crazy about it, and I will happily cook her meat. I like to cook in general, even if it is not for me. I have found…

That happened with me too. I told a girl once that I was a certain size jeans...and she was like "yeah right." stupid.

I love Rah Xephon!!! However, I am a hack for Chobits, Oran Highschool Host Club, and Fruit Baskets. If anyone knows other ones that remind them of those, do tell, PLEASE. Looking for new Animes to dig my hands into!

You can TOTALLY see the change. Don't clarify with "it doesnt look like much" because it is fanastic. You are 25% there! You go girl!

Wow! Good for you! WOWWWW! You should feel so great about yourself!!!

You go girl! Such an inspiration!

I dont know if you can see my profile photo... but I did all that WITH Crossfit. It doesnt matter your size. Everything is scale-able. Definitely try it if you want to. Even fit people who come in start somewhere.

True story--- and the fact that I get a wholeeeeee lot more out of my gym than ANY gym i have ever paid 10 dollars for. However, i do wish it was cheaper sometimes.

I actually asked my Crossfit Coaches about this video. Their first thought was the same as most... Horrendous... it's actually not technically a CF move--- it is a Strongman move. Our crossfit would never use that way of lifting-- just doesnt fit how we run. The only thing is that it is a crossfit gym who is doing it.…

Hey all! I just had to say--- no matter WHERE you go there are good and bad people.... and even my affiliate owner acknowledges that there are great crossfit gyms and some that are filled with jerks. It's all about finding the right gym. My gym is VERY welcoming to all people of all abilities and has probably the most…

I am a Vegan... I do it for moral reasons and not as a way to lose weight. HOWEVER, if you are thinking about being a veg. I would honestly just ask--- why? What are the reasons? There are PLENTY of unhealthy vegetarians and vegans out there. You really have to be willing to do a LOT of cooking yourself ( a great habit )…

Michelle-- I am 4'11 as I said... I am a 34D... I was a 40C/38D... I honestly don't feel like my boobs have really shrunk just the bad... altho i hear that if the band shrinks that means the boobs are going too... I did this yesterday. This is almost 50 lbs down. It's totally possible! It's hard when you see all these…

How much are you looking for in terms of loss? I am 4'11-- starting weight was 185.. current weight is 138.5 I still have about 25-30 lbs to go to my goal. But here are the photos! So excited by them. I work out about 6 times a week and I eat vegan (moral reasons) but that has caused me to look into nutrition like crazy.…

I am 4'11 and 138.5 lbs. Looking to get down to 110-115. I started at 185. We can doooo eeet!

Thank you all so much! I love knowing I can come here to such a supportive community and share successes and failures alike. :) You are all lovely!

Oh.. I am also 4'11... so I still want to be down to about 110-115 ideally. I will get there soon. Especially now that I am feeling pumped.
