Hi Well Done you losing that amount of weight already. Just take it a day at a time set short term goals within the long term one which if you think about it cant be classified as a goal because reaching a goal signifies an end and changing ones lifestyle for the better is ongoing essentially a new different way of living…

Dont deny yourself anything and there will be no need for cheat days. If you are not desperate you should be able to manage small treats regularly rather than gorging on a mix of food over process and high in sugar salt and fat.

Look the way I see it is under the circumstances you can give yourself permission to not do super well over the next few weeks because you are right it is an extremely stressful and emotionally intense experience watching and supporting someone through a traumatic health issue such as cancer. Losing weight and getting fit…

It is not an easy road but altimately worth it. So be realistic with your expectations if you achieve even 70% of the time you…

Make sure when you are searching that you use the terms slow cooker recipes as they call crockpots that these days. I havr researched this method of cooking experimenting with recipes. The thing is to remember that this method requires very little added liquid (one way to ruin the recipes is to water down the intensity of…

When and if you seek further investigation it will be helpful to give them the big picture and might help in pinpointing the location its at its worse. Can he stay with family and friends for a few days see if…

But honestly you have done amazingly well to lose the weight you have Im certain we could learn more from you you appear to have the knowledge and processes to achieve weightloss just keep doing what you are doing it seems to work.

emotional comfort (glad Ive nearly got this one under control) zombie eating boredom empty platter syndrome (I had a lot of ravenous brothers growing up you had to fast and you had to eat it all) self loathing lack of exercise but Ive always had the desire to be fit and healthy that has never not been there....and this…

Hey I have complete sympathy with you Im like you only the other way round I have a 'mantlepiece' that would sit very nicely in a stately home. MY shoulders and arms are the palatial scrolls that run down either side. I know Im losing weight Ive dropped 2 sizes in my bottom half but my chest stubbornly refuses to give any…

I agree there really is no point eating all your exercise calories back in terms of changing your lifestyle. What happens if you hurt yourself or your circumstances change and you are unable to exercise unfortunately the learnt and maintained habit of eating more is not going to go away easily it takes time to retrain…

Further on from this topic is the fact that if you really dont feel like exercise or you get stressed out for whatever reason then this can have a negative effect on weightloss. They are only now really coming to grips with the effects of stress on our health. Stress can increase our chances of cancer, make us hungry and…

I find this to be true and so only weigh myself when I feel my clothes are looser or someone comments that I look thinner. Otherwise I just stress out about it all the time and stress negates the effects of good eating by making us retain weight even put it on....eeek!

This is really interesting because Im the complete opposite if I eat more than 1400 calories a day the weight just packs on and fast! I also have trouble consuming more than 1200 calories I just dont feel like it. I rarely go hungry or feel like Im not eating enough and if I keep my calorie intake around 1200 I shed weight…

Saw the title of your post topic whilst sitting in front if the computer drinking a glass of red coincidental hey? I also agree with the losing weight without exercise. I have lost weight with and without though I must admit that with the exercise I do have the added bonus of increased energy levels and physical strength…

Sweetheart you dont have to justify why you are here to anyone okay? whats important is right now and the future we have all had starts and stops and you are quite justified in asking for support no matter when you stopped or started its irrelevant.

Your parents arent taking you out for sushi every night are they? so go out and enjoy yourself wiht your family I think you will find that you wont pig out anyway just because you have changed your habits and are conscious of your eating. TO make it more enjoyable for yourself go to the gym BEFORE you eat out and do a…

OATS!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously these are weight loss persons best friend....bananas are good and so is poached egg on toast. Cinnamon is excellent spice and so is tumeric (on the eggs). They boost your energy.

ah yes the belly rolls is there ever a circumstance where they are ok I think not! :laugh:
-
drink water 9 times out of ten if we experience hunger after exercise (and we are not starving ourselves) it usually means we are thirsty our body just gives us the same signal thats all. If you are still hungry have a bowl of oats with berries this will ensure you are full right up till lunchtime. Oats just dont have to…

Maybe come from another angle it might be healthier for you to have a little extra covering so maybe your goal is to be the helthiest you can. Your actions could be to make sure you eat properly and exercise moderately. I know someone like you and whilst its very easy for someone who carries too much weight to think you…

her skin is beautiful what an amazing woman. You have to love yourself and life. Hatred and loathing is poison. I dont think this woman does anything less than love life and lives her life with love and caring for others. Such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing ;)

It is really really good. Easy to implement, realistic and has 2 fabulous cookbooks with great recipes you can google it and Im pretty sure you…

Just take it day by day make each day your goal until you feel more familiar with the new routine. Dont be hard on yourself if you make mistakes this happens in the beginning the thing is…
