Wow, I see a lot of us have had this pitfall. The most weight I ever lost was through counting calories with myfitnesspal and the support of my partner at the gym while doing it all. I tried a lot of diets including fasting and alternate day fasting. I was even successful at losing quite a bit on the Atkins. I must say…

Joining the military is my gift to myself because its been a dream plus a shopping spree

For a long time I made having to buy new clothes an excuse not to lose weight. Now that I have lost almost 50 lbs and I try on the smaller size it makes me feel so much better that I can fit into small sizes. Plus, when I look in the mirror I really start to love myself in that small size.

@LH2011 Studies have shown that people who make fasting a daily lifestyle live longer lives than those who don't. It also decreases cholesterol and high blood pressure.

When you starting intermittent and alternate day fasting most people have said that it has to become a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. You do lose a lot of weight, but you can not stop the fasting and working out after you see the results.

I have just started alternate day fasting. I have lost about 6 pounds this week. I plan on sticking to this and making it a lifestyle for myself. It has not only help me move the scale, but it has also boosted my self esteem. Everyday that I wake up I feel better and better about myself and who I am. I have dreamed about…

I have thought about taking diet pills and other extreme weight loss measures as well. This happens when I start thinking that things are moving fast enough for me. I want this weight gone and I mean now! So, I normally try to think about other things besides weight loss to keep my mind away from those thoughts. After all,…

Seems like you have only one option and that is do something to work off those calories you went over. Maybe you should munch on fruit for the rest of the day if you don't want to do yourself completely in! Good Luck!

I used to have your same dilemna. It helps me to drink plenty of water. If you have a late night suger craving try drinking your favorite tea with a bit of honey to make it sweet. Also, if you must eat late at night try eating things that are not heavy in carbs. For example, eat some low calorie fruits or vegetables. Also,…

You look great!

Hello, add me as a friend please. I did the same things you did and rationalized me losing weight with having to buy new clothes. I put my weight loss off until I could finish college. Unfortunately I gained about 60 pounds while I was in college so I was a lot worse off then when I started. You will learn that if you…

Many people love to work out everyday. I have read that if you want to lose significant weight you should probably work out 7 hours a week. if you are doing 1 hour exercises that is 7 days a week. If you can handle it then it won't hurt you at all. However, I do think you should do some strength training to keep your skin…

frozen meals are a good thing to have on the go because they have proper portion sizes and are balanced. However, like someone else commented, dont depend on them for 3 meals a day. high sodium intake keeps fluid in the body and thus makes it harder to lose weight.

Slim Fast does not stop hunger! It just gives you the nutrition of the food you would be eating if not for the slimfast, but very hard to stick to on the long term. If you follow the program on here you will definately see the results. You don't need slimfast and you could eat good food! lol. we all love good food. MFP…

I lost 3 pounds this week as well! And, I have kept the weight off today. I plan on eating my suggested calories today too. No reason to lose sight because of Christmas. Afterall, xmas is not about eating but giving thanks and celebrating God!

count me in. what do you want each individual to try for?

I think it would be a total inspiration for you to help people like me who are just starting with a detailed description of the processes you went through. I know you have made a few comments, but it would help if you would give us a run down when you have time on your workouts/days a week, a detailed eating plan that you…

I am 24 and I am losing about 3 pounds a week. I am right between1380-1400 net a day. I think 1200 is very low. I think you should up the calories just a bit and work out more. I work out about 3 to 4 times a week and burn between 600 and 700 calories per workout most times. That puts me at about 1.5 hours of workout each…

You are absolutely my motivation!!! I look at your before and after pictures everytime I get on this website. congrats girl!

lol. I like that one! Like you, I have decided that my time is now! Good Luck on your exercise goals and remember that we are in control of our bodies, not the opposite way around. I made excuse after excuse as to why I couldn't lose the weight. I didn't want to have to buy new clothes, or I didn't have time. All the while…
