I've only lost about 10lbs so far, but I can notice a small difference. I have a lot to lose by my clothes fit a bit nicer and I feel I look better in general from my diet and exercise. I haven't had any comments from anyone yet.

Wow, that's a big difference for one month! What is your exercise routine like?

Try 90 percent lean beef or pork chops. Both are filling, better for you, and can be made in very healthy ways.

Sadly, you can't make anyone love you. It's sad when this happens, because family is supposed to love you unconditionally. However, I suggest you do just that. If you love them unconditionally even if they don't deserve it, they may start to open their eyes. Treat them exactly the way you want to be treated. Once you set…

What is your activity level set to? If it's sedentary, you can add it, but otherwise it's already added to your daily calorie allotment.

You can get leaner meats if you're concerned. I find the most effective method is to just use portion control. If she really likes these types of food, just measure out a serving size and eat that at a meal. Then, you can always snack later if you are hungry since you will more likely have more calories left over. Try…

Personally, I avoid binging but just allowing myself to eat what I want when I want it. I still use portion control. Others may not agree with my because I don't always eat "clean", but I feel binging only happens to me when I try and cut something completely out of my daily diet. Because of this I also don't see the need…

Usually when you start exercising or change up your routine you will hover around the same weight due to water retention. It's not unusual. So, if you notice over the next month your weight stays the same, don't panic, but just measure yourself again. Great job and keep at it!

35lbs isn't a whole lot so you will most likely need to lose slowly. Try calculating your BMR, which is how many calories you need everyday just to function. Most would recommend to eat at least your BMR, but this is your choice. You will still lose eating your BMR because you expand energy throughout the day therefor,…

I honestly don't care if others believe if my goals in life are realistic or not. I'm determined to reach them and I have no doubt someday I will. I believe that life is a journey and right now I am focusing on getting healthy so I can reach any dream or goal I can come up with!

How much do you have to lose? You may be eating too little.

Personally I like to drink most of my water with my meals, that way I don't overeat and I don't have to use the bathroom constantly. I do drink some water throughout the day so it adds up to a lot. I do feel I have to use the bathroom more often than the average person, lol, but it makes me feel a lot better when I drink…

If you calculated your BMR and TDEE then eat between the two of them. Obviously if you are binging and starving all the time at 1200 while working out you are not getting enough fuel for your body. Take your TDEE (which is BMR plus the amount of energy you expend during the day) and subtract 200 or 300 calories, making…

Honestly, this forum is meant to be UPLIFTING. I am so discouraged right now because people come here to connect with others who they can share common interests with. They want support and motivation from someone who understands them. I think it's disgusting how some people are responding to this post.
-
Why are so many people being mean to her? For crying out loud, people post about EVERYTHING on here, so I don't get why everyone is attacking her.
-
This is just what I think, but I think that maybe you could just focus on yourself and see what happens. By that I mean, send him little texts here and there and talk to him, but don't make a huge effort on your part. If he seems REALLY interested in texting/calling/hanging out, be yourself and give him your undivided…

The net calories of the week left means you have that many calories left for the entire week. Also, it takes trial and error to find out what works for you, so stick to what you have for about a month and if you don't see anything, THEN change it up.

I have recently had lots of problems with my self esteem due to my recent weight gain. However, my friends, family, and loved ones all still love me and care for me. I look in the mirror and hate what I see but none of them run away from me in disgust. I have to keep remembering that I want to be healthy and I'm doing this…

I understand where you are coming from. Growing up it would drive me crazy that my mother would comment on my clothes, like anything above the knee, or low rise pants, and telling me only "skinny people should wear them". She would always be telling me to lose weight, get more active, and cut the junk out of my diet. She…

Thank you! I guess I never realized before how slowly the weight is meant to come off. I know it's healthy, so I want to do it the right way. It's also hard not to get discouraged but I know I'm eating healthier and smaller portions so eventually it will have to come off!!

Hi! I'm 21 and also have over 100lbs to lose. I'd love to be your friend and help support you :)

Wow! You look great! :)
