OP, my humble opinion is evolution works better than revolution when it comes to lifestyle change! do what works for you and don't take anything too personally. p.s. the hena design on your palm is lovely!

i am from India, and yes this is a problem, in cities , where people have access to global fast food chains and it is a kind of sign of prosperity to be able to afford them!retail chains are uprooting farmers' markets one by one,local species are being exterminated in favor of high yield hybrid varieties. . it's a bleak…

congratulations. perseverance pays.

don't know why it happens to me too, and that is mostly with potatoes. when i'm having a meal in hospital cafeteria, they hand you already served plate, and sometimes i would eat all the rice, every piece of potato( even if i had planned to stop the rice at half and eat other vegetables , not the potato) and end up being…

bump! it's my problem as well

actually while posting this threads no body add words like occasional or moderation! gives a skewed impression to people who were before now eating fastfoods for all there meals and now finding it a little laborious to make there own meal or making consistently good choices!this types of posts make all their extra effort…

may i know how his lipid profile and gut health was featuring! weight loss is a part of healthy living goals but not all, people with family history of dyslipidaemia, MI and hypertension should think twice before doing this things, don't know why , last few days there have been quite a few threads that push junk food…

that also i hate the taste of fat against my palate.. ETA , some how, fish fat (mackerel, pomfrate, hilsa ) do agree with me , and i love them!!!cooked in mustered paste and grated coconut.....................ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh day dreaming!! you know,eat whatever you love in moderation....and don't bash someone else's taste…

wait till some paleo people join the thread! i for one , am not much proud of my mindset if i need processed sugary, , transfat saturated food to keep me mentally happy, an occasional treat is o.k. but would try to change the way i feel about junk food.

dear julie, i'm sorry that you feel this way. you admit that you were doing things right for last few weeks and yesterday night you slipped. we all slip time and again but those who are successful they do not fret about it but go on doing the good work on next available opportunity .so, you can feel low and grab another…

sorry to hear your plight, i shall not offer you platitudes, cause they never work. i feel what you are going through is a grief reaction and alcohol could further cause deterioration in mental health front. please please see a therapist, talk to your wife, if she is ready to give marriage counseling a go.. if she is not…

yes, all except unsweetened green tea and an occasional black coffee, rest i log , even a tbsp of mango pickle, or psyllium husk..

not all are deliberate hurtful comments, sometimes people blurt things out when they face such a dramatic transformation.don't bother to get hairsplitting over this, then again you did the right thing to put it in the success stories, this should be taken as NSV. someone saying you are almost as slim as that person, may be…

i look like a squishy chintzy old armchair...................................................:embarassed:

because that gives the vibe of being of twitter generation! more than 140 characters, in plain English, with grammar and punctuation!!nothing doing,reading that is blasphemy:devil: so, that is why( wish i was savvy enough to use a GIF here..

^^_^^ this now this is from the other side(paranormal thingie!!)

when my husband makes plan to cook or take me to a restaurant, i usually save 800 cals for that, any excesses are balanced next day. it's his idea of showing love, if your cals remain unused, you can always toss up some salad or cheese as a late snack. men do this things to impress and they hardly know it is hurting, and…

i shall be happy to be alive at that age, and if i can lift my own body weight on my two legs, i shall be grateful, phenomenal post! thanks OP

oh no, your abs will atone for any " boney sin",cheer up Gigibeans:drinker:

aim for a higher range of healthy bmi, and acceptable range of body fat %, chances are, you shall be at your goal body shape.do your own research, internet is a nice tool when handled with reason and prudence. good luck. edited to add, bones sticking out has got lotta do with your genes, i'm 5'2.5" and 170 lbs:blushing:…

may be just mention " committed relationship", "biological clock" and "virginity till the nuptial night ", all in one sentence!!:bigsmile: should work better than pepper spray!

that's my experience as well, at first gained about 5 lbs, and then started losing slowly, dropped a pant size, and coller bones became slightly visible.but due to knee issues , i had to change some jumping jacks into easier running on spot,had to take more rest days etc, so i guess i didn't get max results. i'm eating…

OP , you are a good husband and your heart is in the right place. patience is one thing that you need in abundance to work a marriage right. when i met my husband,i was heavy and just out of a bad relationship . when he wanted to date me, i tried to drive him away cause i felt i was not good enough. it took 3 long years…

dear OP, it's in the genes, which decide their composition,how much glandular(that is milk producing and supporting) tissue and how much would be fat. so, if you have not started with too much fat there,you are not going to lose that. that said , lowering your body fat percentage may help. surgery is something that is…

mine does that, then promptly goes to sleep, she is getting her aerobics from chasing neighborhood pigeons and sparrows and periodically running home chased by neighbor's overweight , bullying tabby and occasional stray dog!

madam, you are analytical and clear sighted, thanks for a sane response.:drinker:
