I've discovered that foods that I chosen to take out of my daily eating habits rarely taste as good as I think they were. When I stopped drinking mountaindew and had a craving for it when I was stressed I had to drink it out of a shot glass because it tasted that bad. The thought of a high fat content food makes me sick to…

I started June 1st. I've got 67 pounds to go. I wish the best of luck to the both of you. May we all loose weight and keep it off.

I've got about 67 to go myself. Good luck!

Good luck! Education and changing your relationship with food is key. Take it a day at a time and find things you enjoy to do and you'll be successful.

I think you need to decide what you want. Do you want to be a healthy weight or do you want to eat whatever you want whenever you want. Do you want to see being healthy as a chore or something that makes you feel good. I'm currently eating 1200 calories a day. With the food I've decided to eat, It takes me around half an…

Hello. I'm 5' 2". With my first weight loss journey back in 2008 I lost 42pounds and weight 150. For me that was a size 9 average. I'm currently 207. I've lost 4.9 pounds so far. I'm aiming for 140 but 150 is good. I'm actually smaller then other people i know who weigh the same or less than me. So I doubt going below 140…

Loosing weight is as hard as you are make it out to be. You have youth on your side. It's better to start changing your habits now. The best advice I can give you is to educate yourself and realize that you aren't just loosing weight you are making a life time commitment. I'm a but different than Jhh. For me, I value lean…

I've got about 3x that to loose, but you can add me as a friend if you'd like.

That comment was made based on 1) the title of her post and 2) the fact that she said she didn't eat dinner if she had x amount of calories before dinner. There was a point in my life where I couldn't imagine surviving off that many calories either. But I now know that it is possible to consume more volume of food at 1200…

That's great that it's working for you Phil. I used to have an aversion to calorie counting. I thought that I could go back to eating what I lost weight with a few years ago and I kept gaining. It was a bit upsetting because I was eating healthy. Turns out I was eating too much. I had to relearn what a proportioned meal…

Sorry but this doesn't make sense. If you've reached your calorie limit by late afternoon then you are eating too much. Take the total number of calories that you want to eat each day and divide them by the number of times you eat in a day. For me that is 4. That means each meal is 300 calories. I can fill a 10inch plate…

If you are looking to eat about 1200 calories a day and still be content and full then you need to go high protein and high fiber. Go take a look at my food diary for the past few days. Ignore the Ice cream, If you eat 4 oz of meat, 1/2 cup of rice and 2/3 cup of veggies 4 times a day you will get 1200 and have a huge…

Sorry I didn't go back and check this. Moyer, I don't have a problem with people using medical marijuana. I do believe that it is beneficial for some people. When I was researching what to do about the debilitating pain I was in I saw a youtube video about a guy with my condition who used it. It isn't possible for me to…

Then keep doing what you were doing before. Enjoy the workout and let your body set it's own pace. If you bust your butt before your vacation you might injure yourself or be too sore/tired to actually do anything fun.

Go to Check-in in the My Home menu. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Edit Previous Entries. The starting weight box is above the measurement table.

With the information you have included how much weight you can lose in 6 weeks can't be answered. A person who weighs 300lbs is going to loose more than someone who weighs 180lbs if they do everything exactly the same. I suggest you ignore how much you loose and focus more on the journey. If you make yourself miserable…

I did the exact same thing moving in with my mother. I had lost 40 pounds and then got hit by christmas... I'll fix it when I go home... But then I was loosing my home. For the time I had there I went back to my 'good' habits and controlled my food. When I had to move in with my mother I was living off her dime and had no…

PRE-PARE FOODS. I usually prepare 3 meals at one time and just heat them up when I'm ready to eat them.

I don't follow any 'diet plan'. High protein, high fiber. This is what I check for. I don't drink any calories. I don't buy anything that has over 10% fat. Veggies and fiber cereal are my best friends. I also eat them with my fingers instead of shoveling them in my mouth with a spoon. It takes longer to eat, you have more…

Good for you Lizz. Start studying nutrition and find out how to eat the right way. If you can get to a pool it will make exercising easier until you can get some of that weight off your joints. Good luck!

Honestly, you need to learn how to be happy. Learning how to be happy is independent of how you look. Yes, be healthy but happiness is your outlook on life. It is the joy you put into and get out of it. Happiness can't be found in a mirror or a smaller pair of jeans. Those things can make you feel good at the moment but if…

(i noticed a typo in my previous post. Legal should have been illegal. Pot is illegal where I live.) I won't lie and say that mhe is easy to live with but there are people who have problems that my be less debilitating and more mentally damaging. I once saw a documentary on a boy with sweaty hands and had to be thankful…

Stop accepting excuses. It doesn't matter why you don't log everything. You know you have a tool that you aren't using. You are either going to use it or you're not. I don't mean this in a bad way. Beating yourself up over it is never the way to make yourself do something. 'Forgetting' is a way for you to dismiss the…

I have MHE. The simplest way to explain it is that my body is filled with benign bone and cartilage tumors. My skeleton is also deformed. I don't have full range motion in all my joints. My joints are also breaking down because they are bearing weight in a manner they were not designed to do. This would have happened even…

My sister is a little shorter and smaller than you. I don't think she is quite 100 pounds. It is very hard for her to gain weight and she is very into fitness. You didn't mention anything about wanting to be smaller. So I don't see any cause for alarm. It might be a little embarrassing, but since it is a normal body…

The first step is to shake off the guilt of the moment. You are were you are. You can't get to a new place from where you were. You have to start from where you are. I'm sorry you are going through depression. I've been there. Don't use it as an excuse to let go of the responsibility of your actions. You know that binging…

I would recommend high protein / high fiber. The energy you get is amazing. You get a higher volume of food this way. To farther win the mind game, I eat my veggies frozen, one at a time like pop corn so it takes me longer to eat.

I guess I'm a big different than most others. I'm 5'2" currently 183 pounds and I have no problem with the way I look. I'm loosing weight to get the unneeded pounds off my failing joints. What's even more important that loosing weight is self love. I have struggled with and conquered this. I don't need my body to be…

I hope you realize that 5'7" and 127 pounds is already a fantastic body. You don't need to loose two more pounds. You don't have your period because your body needs fuel and body fat. It's a hard concept to believe now now, but only a few hundred years ago your weight would be considered sickly because being that thin, no…
