I am getting married on October 25 and would love to lose 30-40 lbs by then. I know it's important to set smaller goals because oftentimes the bigger goals seem insurmountable, but it's really only about a pound a week from now until mid October. But to think a little more short term and feel victory in meeting smaller…

The entire point is to eat a high fat/low carb diet and eat until satiated and NOT count calories or be at a deficit.

I currently use Isagenix but more as meal supplements and to ensure I get enough protein and don't overdo it on the sugar every day. I had major issues for months with sugars and proteins with simple calorie counting. The first week on the program I lost 10 pounds and 10" and the second week I didn't lose a single pound…

Is this a mud race? I've been looking for one for some time but most of them are a longer distance than I think I could handle, even with intense training. I don't have a lot of self doubt but I do know my limits! A 5k mud race sounds awesome, sign me up!!

I wish I could help you with your problem. But this last bit just made me CRACK UP. I'm sorry!!

If you get enough sleep and eat a reasonable amount of calories to fuel your workout you may have a B12 deficiency. Try taking supplements and see if it helps.

You have to be careful when you order steak at a restaurant. They very frequently cook it in butter which makes it much much more fattening than if you were to cook a piece of meat at home.

And Noah and the flood, and the story of Lot and his wife, and Moses and the golden calf...again, picking and choosing which stories fit best with your world view and ignoring all the rest. Makes sense.

The Bible also says that if I get raped I am required to marry my rapist or be put to death, and if I'm married and my husband dies I have to marry his brother. GOD'S WORD!!! I don't think you should be calling other people ignorant when your book is FULL of inconsistencies and you've only bothered to read the selected…

I haven't heard anything quite this ridiculous all day long. And I was reading a facebook page about Illuminati earlier so that's really saying something! I really don't understand why other peoples' choices are affecting you in any way. If someone else wants to have sex before marriage WHY is that any of anyone else's…

chobani yogurts were all just recalled. I hope you don't die from eating them after you've worked so hard to lose so much weight and to be so holier-than-thou about telling others how to eat.

I've been working out harder than ever! I may be eating a few too many cookies though. I haven't gained any weight but I also haven't lost any. But I'm not giving up, I'm just trying to work that much harder in the gym :)

I actually know a few girls who have tried these shakes and it's not just a matter of weight loss...they get involved in the pyramid scheme, believe the hype that this is truly the healthiest way to not just lose weight but also to live, and they get offended if you won't also buy into the brainwashing. I don't know anyone…

I don't know if diet soda makes you fat, but I will pass on any food product that has to put a warning on the label that it might give you a seizure. Also, that stuff tastes HORRID. I'll stick to seltzer if I need carbonation.

I usually do brown rice or quinoa.

You should really be more focused on your workout and less on what people are wearing. I don't care if it's called a "Christian" association or a "purity" association, if they're paying the same for their membership as you it's still a free country and they have the right to wear whatever they choose, as long as their…

I prefer the smell of chloroform myself...

I also should have listened to the "don't marry that guy" advice from my family LOL Live and learn eh?

Try and see what's under that sweatervest...

You might want to also stop eating altogether. There is a very high likelihood of choking.

I don't want to hurt your feelings and I mean no offense, but it sounds to me like you already have an eating disorder. I suggest you see a therapist who specialises in eating disorders as soon as possible before this obsession gets even more out of control.

When I first began MFP I didn't exercise for months and was only watching what I ate. After losing 30 pounds though my body had adjusted to eating at a calorie deficit and I needed to incorporate exercise to continue seeing results. It's more difficult to exercise when you're heavier anyway, in my opinion. But once the…

I am NOT a morning person and couldn't do that 4:30/5:00 thing if I tried. I work 10 hours a day and commute an hour each way, but I hit the gym (almost) every day right after work. Which works up a really nice appetite for dinner. And I still have time to decompress before going to bed at night. If you want something…

Hi guys! I'm Kara. I first started tracking with MFP in February and lost 30 pounds in the first 3 months. After that I plateaued for 2 months but recently made some changes to my diet and fitness routine and I think I've begun losing again. I would really like to lose another 20 pounds by Halloween and get down in the…

Vodka tonic. It's not the tastiest but it's the lowest in calories. I used to be a vodka cranberry girl but I haven't come across a single place yet that uses REAL cranberry juice, and even if they did there's way too much sugar especially if you're having more than one drink.

You look FABULOUS!!! Congratulations and keep up the good work! :)

Maybe not nice but definitely HILARIOUS. You people are all WAY too sensitive and really need to learn how to take a joke.

Morgan Spurlock addressed both the nutrition and cost of school lunches in Supersize Me. He clearly shows that there ARE suppliers who will provide healthy food to students at the same cost as providing the pizza, french fries, and sloppy joes that they currently serve. It's really a matter of principals and school…

I think it depends on the intensity of your workouts and how many calories you were eating to begin with. It looks like most days she's not even eating 1200. Especially if she's working out this is not nearly enough to fuel her day let alone her workouts.

Eat more calories!! This is the advice I got a few weeks ago and it WORKS! I had plateaued for 3 months and increased the intensity of my workouts and didn't lose a single pound. On the advice of the MFP community I increased my calories and have lost 5 pounds in the past 2 weeks! Definitely eat more and you will see a…
