Your calorie count is too low most likely your body is in starvation mode increase it to about 1400-1500. Also drink plenty of water. Exercise does you no good if your body believes it is starving.

My pics are on my profile using a phone ATM. You may check feel free to add me as a friend. Don't worry, it will disappear.

Well the scale doesn't define you sweetheart. You are a knock out just the way you are I just had a 5 week plateau don't sweat it, it will end. Just remember water is the secret.

Omg I cried. This is so beautiful and inspiring thank you for sharing.

I just left my 5 week plateau. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to lose anymore weight. I kept losing inches but the weight still clung to me. Then Monday my weight started melting away again. I had to get more dedicated to losing weight. I had caught myself in a few bad habits. Some of which, was delaying my…

Yes great job keep up the hard work.

Thank you for your inspiration it really touched me.

Wow, thank you for your story. That is so inspiring.

I don't get sick as often, my ingrown toenails have stopped coming. I can exercise and actual enjoy it. I view food as fuel not comfort food. My clothes are growing rapidly. Being as large as I am I am praying I don't end up with a lot of loose skin (my personal nightmare) also I used to get violently sick to my stomach.…

Lol I am gonna cut a flip when my 42 f breasts go down, though I have lost 2 sizes I may be a DDD gotta get measured. For me that is where most of my weight is :)

I am in a similar situation. But I weigh a lot more than my husband currently. He promised me once I reach his weight he will diet with me. But ironically he has taken to adopting my lifestyle and the weight seems to melt off him. I believe it's different when the roles are reversed. My husband has never pressured me to…

That time of the month or 2 weeks before.

I had the same issue, your body is going through a change and its a bit like withdrawal. As if fast food is the drug and we are addicted to it. The only way to break this yucky feeling is to soldier through it. (Although in my opinion your diet all in itself seems yucky to me blegh)

Wow congratulations. Such an inspiration :)

I found the answer to my own question and want to share: http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/weight-loss/dangers-taking-enough-calories

Do you care to elaborate?

Thank you guys it means a lot. I never expected the weight loss to come so naturally.

Thank you, I have also lost 2 pants sizes, a shirt size, and 2 bra sizes. which is what makes all this worth it. i started at 300 I am now at 279.1. I was losing my mobility, now I feel 10 years younger. My husband is so supportive. I am so grateful.

Thank you. I do drink my calories. Mostly because I went from drinking tons of soda to almost none. That makes more sense though thank you.

Find a healthy not to large (portion wise snack) and eat it. Ex: home made pizza, spaghetti. They are rich in nutrients, and it leaves the choices as far as what goes in it up to you. Also instead of protein shakes a good lean meat: ex fish or chicken without fat.

Sorry to ask. I am rather new. How do I create a ticker to show my results?

Your on :)

I am a 42 f. As far as I know, a breast reduction may be required to get mine as small as possible. it is nice to know there is a chance they will shrink. Does anyone know if specific exercises, or specific foods will help with breast reduction? I have 150 lbs to lose, so I am fairly certain mine should shrink. But I want…

Thank you, everyone any tips you can give me is very helpful. My husband is very supportive thankfully. I am quickly realizing most foods that are my favorite, are quickly becoming the foods I eat least. Water has become a great ally and also sugar free foods. I feel like a diabetic lol. I guess when your this far…
