Thanks guys! Such encouraging words make me want to keep going :) It's a tough journey but we can all make it there!

I only drink plain water. I can't stand carbonation or the fake sweet taste of soda. I get my taste fix from food. I also don't like artificial sweeteners to put in my water either. If I can't pronounce the ingredients I don't use it. A little fruit in the water is a good idea though!

Thanks so much! Great job with your progress.

I very roughly pay attention to my macros. I tend to lean towards higher fat intake than I should but I always stay within my allotted calories. It has worked well so far with me losing over 30lbs since February. I've dropped 10% body fat and gained a considerable amount of muscle, so what I'm doing works for me.

It bothers me when people say you don't need to exercise to lose weight. Why are you trying to lose weight? To get healthy most likely. Just eating better is not going to make a very big dent in that. Exercise has given me more energy and I feel a thousand times better than I use to. It will reduce the risk of so many…

Way to Go! A 5km run every month is totally doable and a great way to keep you on track :)

Its good to know we aren't alone. Thanks for the adds. Anyone with similar struggles or just looking for some support send an add :)

The second one is much nicer in my opinion.

Are you asking what 175.8-170 is? Are you not able to subtract numbers?

interesting.....you also seem to be a very young male who is trying to gain two pounds. Please speak to a professional about your multiple personality disorder!! :drinker:

Well I would like to say congratulations since some seem to be missing the point. You lost a lb. That is awesome. Do what works for your body and you will be a healthier you in no time!

Chocolate and I have some every day :)

I weigh myself daily and it helps keep me motivated. I very rarely retain water because I have a fairly low sodium intake and drink lots of water. On the rare day I do gain at most .8lbs I know it must be from water and I just ignore that weight and keep on going. Not everyone is going to be able to do this however and…

Feel free to add me. I am always on here and support my friends as often as possible. :)

Feel free to add me. I'm here every day and support all of my friends as often as possible. Anyone can add me :)

A protein shake will make a world of difference. I'm at the gym very regularly and when I don't have my protein I get so sore for several days. With the protein and I have no pain.

Feel free to add me. I'm 30 and have 36lbs to go. I am one of those people who loves food so I eat about 1900 cals a day but am at the gym 6-7 days a week and still lose at a steady pace. I'm always looking for new friends to encourage and for encouragement!

In the past three weeks of losing weight (therefore eating in a calorie deficit) I have lost five pounds of fat but gained 1lb of muscle. Yes you can lose weight and still gain muscle. You have to fuel your body properly but it is possible.

I find the most important thing when running is your breathing. Practice jogging at a slow pace and really focus on your breaths. As you get better at breathing increase your speed. Everybody is different with how long to breath in and out with their breaths so find what works best for you. As you become better your body…

I've added you. I'm on here everyday and very active with supporting my friends. Anyone is welcome to add me :)

To properly fuel ones body you should be eating every three hours. This is so important! Shift focus from eating larger portions three times a day to five smaller portions. I would try to add more vegetables and fruits during the day. This will add carbs to the diet and will help fuel the body, and it means he can eat even…

I had a very hard time when I started running to. My body could go and my breathing just couldn't keep up. My advice is start off very slowly. Don't worry about your speed at all and completely focus on your breathing. If you start slowly jogging and can't catch your breath drop to a fast walk. I found myself practicing…
