Purely looking at calories or sticking to the "recommended 2000 calories" is not going to be helpful for you, because this figure is often wrong or taken out of context. Keep in mind that this figure is a rounded guesstimate by the US FDA and isn't set in stone. The guideline of how many calories a man or a woman should…

Hi Chrissy, I travel a lot for work too and it isn't always easy to stick to a healthy eating plan when on the go. Travelling and staying in hotels is one of the reasons I piled on the pounds (=boredom eating). There are a few things you can do, it obviously depends on the kind of travelling you do (long haul, short haul)…

They are not rail thin because of eating bread, pasta or carbs, but because of a difference in eating culture. The countries you mention generally tend to countries: Where bread is still bread (flour, water, yeast, salt) and which is not full of additives and chemicals to keep it fresh for 10 or more days. Where a very…

well done and thanks for the illustration. Things like that make you realise how much unnecessary weight we sometimes carry around. good luck and I wish you the best

thanks for sharing and what an interesting story. It felt a bit like reading my own experience and realisation that I need to lose weight. I like the fact that you mention that it was your choice to get that big. So many people blame it on other things in their life or come up with excuses. The realisation that it is you…

wow I'm impressed with what you have achieved in 45 weeks. Gives me some motivation to stick to it!

hi krystal, i think the IMG tag should be in small letters img for it to work.

Well done on your results, it is hard to keep going sometimes, but I think you have got the right attitude. We all wish that our excess weight would come off faster, but unfortunately it takes time. Don't forget that you (like most of us) have put on the weight over years and years of over eating and living unhealthy, you…

I bet that with "media" you probably mean a frustrated journalist who got annoyed with her husband/boyfriend saying that Kate Upton was a bit of alright. I also bet that you will find very few straight men who would call her fat :)

sorry, but that is not correct. Muscle and fat WEIGH the same, they don't take up the same amount of volume. A lot of people on here seem to get confused about this. The same with people saying that the calories of vegetables and fruit are negligible. A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. Our body doesn't know if the…

Hi, just had a look through your diary and I'm a bit puzzled by what you eat. To me there is hardly any "food" in there. Almost everything you eat is processed food, out of a packet, cereal bars, etc. This is something you really need to look at because this really is not going to help you to lose weight and get healthy.…

I go for a weigh in very week. it's tempting to weigh yourself every day, but I want to keep it as a motivation to myself to do it once a week so that the surprise is bigger :)
-

-
Thats a great result ... the guy in the second pic should be holding the glass of champagne to celebrate not a phone :)
-
well done, that is an amazing transformation!
-
great job, well done. I've got about 20-25kgs to lose so now I can imagine what it looks like!
-
wow! that is over 10lbs per month! well done
-
that's great! Has made fat boy me realise that I need to go out and run / walk tonight. It's bloody hard, but so worth it.
-
Congratulations, what a transformation!
-
well done and congratulations to sticking with it. It's great to see more guys on here as well and seeing their results, it certainly has helped my resolve to try again. Keep on going!

another one in yorkshire here. Had good results with this site, but became lazy so I'm now back with renewed vigour
-
I'm going to be 40 in 3 days and I have just made a renewed vow to get fit and start using MFP again. I most certainly won't be fit by the time I get to 40, but I sure as hell know I will be fit for the next 40 years to come!
-
Well I'm happy that your dad has lost weight and obviously feels better because of it.
-
great result! oh and as a guy I want to add: great legs! sorry couldn't resist
-
well done and congratulations!
