Sugar can make you fat and has no nutritional value so the less of that the better. So sugar, if your healthy, isn't bad. Salt on the other hand may be. Even if your healthy as a younger person it can have effects on you later in life so to me salt Is bad.

This.

Eat healthy foods. Stay away from processed anything as much as you can. Salt is bad, hydrogenated oil is bad. Having said those nice things also be reasonable. A nice piece of chocolate cake or your junk food of choice is perfectly fine just not every day. I have chocolate milk every morning and pig out one meal a week on…

When you have done all you can, it still isn't working and your miserable. When they aren't trying. When abuse is involved. (physical, mental or emotional. lying and cheating is abuse) When it is emotionally painful. When they are an unrepentant loser or living off of you. When you no longer love the person.

I would let him catch me

Crap has been my issue lately. I wish I could quit you crap!

I drink mint tea as well!

Cheating is not really what's happening here. Disrespect for you, humiliating you, her lack of caring about your feelings are a few that pop to mind. Perhaps she isn't as emotionally invested in you as you'd like or isn't the type of person you would want a relationship with. Of course you need to examine yourself and make…

Bottom line: It's their personal and private business. My question is why do YOU feel like you should be able to see everyone's business?

I'll go!

I question starvation mode as well. Unless you starve until you ruin your health or die your going to keep losing weight. Is it healthy to starve yourself to lose weight? Not at all and I am not advocating diets under 1200 calories. I just think starvation mode is actually ruining your health not holding onto fat.

I like to lightly pan "fry" a banana in a little water. The "frying" makes it super sweet and gooey. A medium banana is 105 calories Or, make a pancake of 1/4 cup self rising flour, 1 small or 1/2 large egg white, water to consistency and some white sugar to make the batter sweet. Fry in margarine. 1/4 c self rising flour…

Determine the calorie deficit you need to lose 1 or 2 lbs a week (your choice) by using the MFP calculator. Be careful to judge your activity levels accurately. Make sure you are measuring and recording your calorie intake correctly. Measure everything in an accurate measuring cup. Get a food scale if you can but a…

In one month 10 lbs is ambitious if you only have 40 left to lose. I question the reasoning of having to lose 20 lbs to be able to go anyplace so the whole thing just sounds like a bad idea. Aim for 5 or 6 lbs because your going to be to sick to do anything if you try to lose 20.

There are a lot of variable. Yes, you can lose the weight. Yes, you can get a flatter tummy. Will you ever get a FLAT tummy? I know woman who have had c sections and the muscles don't do what they are supposed to do. My friend dieted and exercised until she looked anorexic and her tummy never got flat. I never had a c…

I think you found the right place to lose weight and keep it off. Losing weight is not about dieting, it's about doing what you need to stay a good weight. Notice I did not say skinny or perfect. Skinny and perfect is not the answer. A good, livable, healthy weight is what we all need. Send me a friend request if you like.…

As I sit here with my tea in my hand I thought this may help you. I drink Bigelow Mint Medley tea. It has 0 calories although I do add some sugar. Mint has been used as a folk remedy for upset stomach for centuries. Perhaps if you sip it that will help?

How about small amounts of whatever seems ok at the time?

Although not healthy as long as you are within your goal you'll lose weight. Because I am addicted to chocolate and sugar I allow for a junk pig out once a week and allow for something sweet and chocolate each day. This works for me but you have to find your balance.

I did the calculations for you. female, 187, 5 ft 7 in and said you want to lose 1 lb a week with a goal weight of 150. I also punched in you work out 3 x a week for 60 minutes. It said you need to eat 1600 calories to lose 1 lb a week. If you log correctly your going to lose weight.

This.

I pig out once a week on something I want and have chocolate milk every morning. It keeps me on track. Do what you need within reason. If it's a cookie or candy every day do it as long as you eat healthy the rest of the day.

It's in the ingredients used. The sauce, and other toppings that come prepackaged.

Let me clean this up for you so people understand it better. Pizza is full of saturated fats, hydrogenated oils and salt that will cause many people to have atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. It will also cause. congestive heart failure, strokes, pulmonary problems and kidney failure. It's like any marginally…

Your amazing!!!

Fast food, greasy food, artificial sweeteners and poor quality food. I just feel ill or like something is wrong. Salt makes me feel bloated.

I think it's good to indulge once a week when we are running a calorie deficit as long as we don't go over our maintenance calories. I like to eat a big piece of cake or some other sweet treat. In the grand scheme of things it will not matter to our weight loss but our soul will be enriched.

Size 8 is great already!

I'm 5 ft 1.75 in. My original goal was 115. A friend suggested 110 so I went to 110 and looked great. I am now at 106 and feel that looks best on me. I think once you get the unhealthy weight off your fine then you can tweak until you feel you look best as long as your not unhealthy thin.

You are not a failure! A failure does nothing and your doing something. Your discouraged and that is a normal, healthy reaction. It means you see things clearly and know something has to be done.So now your here on this site with people who have done amazing things. I tried for 3 years to budge my weight and only managed 1…
