I wouldn't. I tried cutting out cold turkey the last time I lost weight. I lost weight but it was only days until I gave in and ate the sweets and before I know it all the weight was back and then some. I have lost a total of 71 LBS. Since March of 2012 and I eat sweets everyday as long as I stay within my calorie limit I…

I checked your food diary and the only day I see you even near 1200 was last month when you ate 1295 but burned 800 calories with exercise. Most of the days I checked weren't even 1000. Your not eating enough. You might feel ok now but later it will be a problem.

granted the way its is on here it takes a lot longer to lose but I bet we have a higher success rate and we don't end up with eating disorders in the long run. I'm not going to kill my self with exercise just to lose weight.

I eat 1400 calories per day. If I only eat healthy foods I would be full long before I got to 1200 so I eat fat not a lot but just enough to get that 25/35 percent that we should be eating every day. I have lost 59 lbs. since September but 71 in total.

If your hungry eat.

do I look almost 40? lol

rather get my calcium some where else like cheese or from milk.

this is me wearing the same top and size 1x shorts last week.

same here

I head once that someone left a container of margarine outside and the flies wouldn't even go near it. How good can it be if even the flies won't even touch it.

I have lost 58 lbs. since September 1 2012 and most of my exercise is from walking.

I love sugar so I can't possibly live with out my candy or junk food. I have been eating this way since the start September 1, and I'm still losing weight.

you can measure your food without a food scale but your measurements won't be as accurate. I use mine all the time.

I don't eat them every day but when I do I try and not to go over 600 mg of sodium. I eat pretty much what ever I want I just log it and portion it.

I'm 39 but most people don't believe me. lol

I'm 5'1 my heaviest weight ever was 202 March 2012. When I started on here Sept 2012 at 190. Now I'm at 135. Would like to be 115-125

since I have been on here I have lost a 5000 BTU air conditioner. My total weight loss is 66 pounds = fats and oils an average American eats in a year

at one of the stores I go to they have discount racks of 50% off. They expire that day or the next but you can always freeze it.

One of the guys I know from the mall said I had a tiny body. lol

If I was taking care of someone like that and If they didn't like what I brought them I would just say get it yourself then. Tough love darn right. I would rather have someone yell and scream at me for more food then not have them here at all.

always looking for new friends anyone want to add me?

I looked at your food log and your not eating enough 600-900 per day is not enough.

I go when there 3$ a bag or if I do by new I get them cheep or a size or 2 smaller then I wear.

I drink 12 oz of skim milk everyday.

look you are going to be surrounded by trigger foods on a daily bases. You can't expect everyone else to stop eating the foods they like because you don't want to eat it. If someone brings food I like into the house I eat it if I can fit it into my food log if not I don't. That's what I have been doing since September and…

I'll be 40 in April is that middle aged?

I do 10 min on my stepping machine and 10 min on my stationary bike the rest I walk and I have lost 55 lbs since September.
