Extremely difficult without making your own food because I'm sure you've noticed they put it in EVERYTHING. I would try to transition to making one meal a day raw plants. Eat only fruit for breakfast for instance. Slowly begin to have raw plant snacks like carrots and cellery. Make these habits and the rest will follow…

He speaks the truth! Researchers have found that an insanely high percentage people who lose weight "quickly" are going to gain the weight back and add on a few pounds within a year of their weightloss. You have to make a lifestyle change, find something you can make a real habit of and be consistent. Be so consistent that…

50 minute jog. The longest time I've run without taking a walk break! Impressed with other's comments. You are going hard!

It sounds like you are maintianing to me. People naturally fluctuate 3-5 lbs day to day based on bowel evacuations and water composition, completely independent of your muscle or fat cells.

I must ask if you tried to make this lifestyle change without the medication? I wonder if you really need it... I do know that if you don't eat enough, you can seriously impact your health. You can potentially damage your thyroid, make it more difficult for your body to let go of excess weight, and create various other…

Saving money is always a wise choice. It certainly won't hurt you either way. ;) The human body is amazingly resilient and childbearing is about as natural as it gets. I don't know if you chose/needed a C-section which can effect the muscles ability to recover and in turn effect the dermis. Either way your skin is the…

The BMI charts are wack! They can be a guideline of sorts but don't take your body frame, composition, or structure into account at all. I have met people with enough muscle mass that they are according to the BMI MORBIDLY obese but thier body fat percentage is less than 10%. These people were very serious weight lifters…

I found a dark chocolate sweetened by stevia. It is Lily's brand. I really enjoy it and don't feel bad because there is no refined sugar in it. Sweetness is not the enemy. Sweet fruits and vegetables have essential nutrients and are very clearly part of a healthy diet.

I agree with the many people who said keep at it and don't give up. For me, a good bean salad or other vegetable in very large portion made it difficult for me to eat much else. I did have to find ways of fixing vegetables that I found really palatable so that I satisfied the mental and physical appetite. Also being…

Nice, good work.

Thank you for the information. I've noticed that I seem to be gluten sensitive. I have significantly reduced my intake. I'll definitely keep this in mind. I am trying to eat a mostly plant based diet now. It has made a huge difference for me in my health, fitness, psyche, and appearance.

You go to pump some hand soap and notice your pectoral muscle jumps. You absently touch a part of your body and gasp because it became firm without you realizing. You see another person jogging and wish it was you. People actually say, "Do you ever stop exercising?" when they see you randomly doing a set of 10 pushups,…
