Swimming is 600 to 1000 calories per hour.

Amazing!!!

My big toes are losing weight???

Wow. Great job!

You really do look great! Keep going!

I have been doing swimming. In the summer, I can do more swimming than now. So far I've lost 43 pounds with some changes to diet and swimming since July 1. I don't eat back the calories.

Seeds are a good appetite suppressant. It takes around two tablespoons to be full from a seed mixture. It probably would be more effective to eat nuts but I can't.

Try olive oil.

Making sure you are full is probably the way to go. Eat your good fats (monosaturated like olive oil). This is key to starting weightloss, it seems. Two surprisingly filling snacks are--mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, soy nuts) and whey protein which is available at Wal-Mart in flavours that taste like milkshakes. Skip…

There are lots of diets out there to look at for inspiration and ideas but in the end, it has to be a lifestyle change. Good luck.

It's great when your diet nets and your weight work without excessive amounts of exercise. May I suggest swimming until you get back to the gym?

Hi. You can buy whey protein and mix it with water or milk to have with each meal. You can get a bunch at Wal-Mart for cheap and they come in flavours like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry so taste like a milkshake. This keeps you full through the day. If you mix up some seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, soy nuts (not nuts) and…

If it's weight loss you're after, then for sure carbs have to be looked at. If you lower them for a bit, you can add the in here and there until you find the level where you sustain weight loss. Protein is pretty important. Good fats are also important (monosaturated like olive oil and coconut oil).

P.S. Look closely at how many calories you're allocating to sugar and carbohydrate, versus fat and protein.

Hi good questions. I was put on a very different diet from a dietician. Of course, I've changed some of it but you can google Mediterranean diet and also low carb Spanish Mediterranean Diet. To keep your liver going, it needs a chemical called Choline which is plentiful in eggs. I had thought these were a cholesterol bomb…

If you measure your waist and hips and under your boobs, every so often you'll see a difference and be able to record it on here. You can set it up in settings.

Include good fats (olive oil, canola, tahini). It's more filling and good for you. Whey protein is likewise filling while bringing up your protein so you can hold onto your muscles. I eat around this amount as well. Good luck with your weight loss.

You all look great!

Good for you.

Great start!

Eat the good fats 'Olive Oil, Tahini' and a few others and always try to feel full by increasing protein and reducing carbs. That seems to be the trick. Exercise helps too. When you get down, have someone tell you that you're beautiful.

What great pictures. Keep it up.

You are doing a great job. Keep at it!

Wow. You look great!

You all look amazing!

Went to put my hand on my hip to stand a certain way. Found the fat on my hip missing so just had to stand up straight.

Welcome! You can do it!

Hi. I eat around 1200 to 1500 calories. I swim for about an hour to two hours a day and if I can't, then I do something else. The key thing is I have whey protein in the morning and before I go to bed. This prevents snacking and is good for you due to the protein content. Not that I'm diabetic but I've read trials that…

You'll do it, Chasity!

Great job.
