I aint here to sugar coat the truth. You asked for help. Guess what I helped you. You want me to tell you its ok to not log food. it aint. This method of weight loss does not work that way. I am not telling you you can't do it. You were the one who said you quit in the past. You are here complaining cause you are not…

I have no issues with it. After being super morbidly obese I can tell you its a choice. Its a choice to not eat right, its a choice to not exercise. Its a choice that costs all of us in higher medical premiums. Its not a popular view but we have a obesity epidemic in this country. Something must be done.

You are not super morbidly obese. So for you this is a "diet" For those of us staring diabetes, high blood pressure and early death in the face the only way to have lasting results is to make a lifestyle change. Thats how I lost almost 200lbs. I had to change my whole life. I will never eat the foods or have the same…

If you don't log your food you will not lose weight. Weight loss is 90% what you eat. Don't matter how much you work out if you aint eating right. Thats why you aint losing. On the cheating, if you can't find room for a piece of pizza you aren't trying. I had pizza hut tonight infact. I didn't go over my goals.. What you…

Your weight loss has stalled cause you have to track and log food daily. Every day, everything. You have had only a handful of diary entries over the last 2 months. Follow what MFP tells you to eat. Make sure you accurately measure your food. I would suggest a digital scale and not using measuring cups. No weekend off, no…

As long as your not hurting yourself theres no too much. My answer is always listen to your body. Also keep in mind exercise can only do so much. Diet is 90 percent of how we look. I am not just talking weight loss, even toning and building lean tissue involves the right foods.

Nope there is always a reason. It could be medical. It could be measuring. I have seen some people take weekends off and still think they will lose. The fact is your body will burn fat and lean tissue if you are in a deficit. This is science fact. So something is not right. People get frustrated and quit cause they think…

No correlation from dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol. I eat 6-8 eggs a day. Yolks and all. My cholesterol went down. Exercise has more to do with blood cholesterol than diet.

Yup. I lost a pound as well. I ran 3 miles Thanksgiving day and made sure I over ate on less calorie dense foods. Veggies and lean meat like turkey and ham lol After losing almost 200lbs I can say its pretty easy to lose weight. If you want too

I would double check everything. The settings in mfp. Calories eaten and calories you figure you burned. Do you weigh your food? I don't use measuring cups. I use a digital food scale. I try to be conservative. If it says 18g I count it as 20g. I don't eat all of my exercise calories. I usually eat a lil over half. When I…

You have to drink more. Your body needs at minimum 8 glasses of water a day, every day. This journey is not just about losing weight but living healthy. So find a system that works for you and drink your water. I drink tons of water and only water. Nothing else. Just plain ole ice water. So refreshing.

I worked out before people came over, ran my daily 5k. I ate light before and had a good meal with the family. No pie, no cookies. I had two plates of food. I lost a pound when I got on the scale the next day. I have a big dinner at my house every week. I do the same thing. No excuse to go off the deep end even for 1 day.…

Until you take control you will continue this cycle of dieting and binging. This is not a diet, this is a lifestyle. Those aren't just words. I have not had fast food in over a year. I no longer eat that poison. Same for candy. You are mentally not there. This isn't about the food, its you. What are your plans for when the…

I would go see a doctor. Colds don't last 5 weeks. That aint right at all

You need exercise to stay healthy and maintain your metabolism. This is not hard nor complicated. Eat right and exercise. Try not to net below 1200. I am not sure why you would want to stop exercising. Nor why you are afraid to eat. That borders on unhealthy behavior.

Stop worrying bout fruit sugars. Its processed sugars people need to be concerned about. What she said :bigsmile:

You should NEVER net below 1200 let alone 800. No matter who the person is. Go talk to any doctor. They will tell you that with that low a calorie count you're eating lean tissue not fat. Biggest piece of lean tissue is your heart. Which is why sudden death is a huge concern for those on very low calorie diets. The OP…

Want Too and Planning. What do you want more? Those snacks or losing that 40lbs. Of course you will say the 40lbs but deep down only you know the true answer. Its all about what you WANT TOO Next you need to prepared to plan plan plan. I plan every meal so every day I know what I am going to eat and when. I eat 5 small…

Eat your exercise calories. Especially if your net is below 1200. Its hard when you first start out to understand the importance of eating your exercise calories. Easiest way to look at it is your net is all you ate. So if your net is 800 thats all you ate today cause those exercise calories are burned. So all your body…

I eat the same foods all the time. I vary here and there but its basically the same foods every day.

Calories in vs calories out. It is proven science. Not some made up mumbo jumbo. The lifestyle we had made us the weight we are. After 173lbs lost its easy to see how poorly I treated my body. Just keep what your doing and you will be fine. Don't stress the number. This is a lifestyle change. Eat right and exercise and you…

I eat about half. Sometimes more. It depends if I am hungry or not.

Drinking water helps flush out sodium. Sodium makes you retain water thus making you seem heavier. Thats where the term water weight comes from.

Wow. She deactivated her account over this discussion? Her ticker says 0 lbs lost and she has been here since last year. Maybe she doesn't update it or she is still battling her relationship with food. Her reaction to this topic is way over the top. Either way I wish her the best.

A piece of pie or cake is far from what some are talking bout. I have a family dinner at my house every week. We have all kinds of food. More than some will have on thanksgiving. I stay with in my goals each week. I have cake, pie, cookies what ever. Its about moderation,accountability and responsibility. Thats why I don't…

Thanks!!! :happy:

You do not need to worry that much about ketchup and milk sugars. It's the simple processed sugars you need to watch out for. Candy for example. Table sugar. No need to stress. Ketchup is fine. As is milk.

Mmmm Ribs lol.

When you get married you don't get to have cheat days do you? Thats what a lifestyle change is. it makes no sense to take a day off of this lifestyle either. Sunday I had smoke bbq spare ribs and all kinds of good food. I stayed with in my calories goals. I will do the same on thanksgiving. I will enjoy the food and also…
