I doubt anything could be worse than a period! Ugh.

My period doesn't make me have cravings. Although I would kill for a milkshake right now. It just usually gives me horrible cramps and makes me incredibly nauseous. I have a low pain tolerance and although I hear chocolate is a natural remedy for that, I usually just steer clear of it.

Actually there are events that make it impossible for you to say no. Example: When your grandmother or mother buys you fast food and decides to swing by to drop it off. You can't exactly say no. I mean I would feel absolutely guilty if I told them no when they spent money on food for me.

Chocolate, jelly beans, easter eggs! Yeah, I'll be eating all the Easter goodies. I might gain a bit back but I can lose it again. Also did you know that chocolate is good for you? Contrary to popular belief. 1. It decreases stroke risk! 2. Chocolate reduces the likelihood of a heart attack 3. Chocolate protects against…

I thought that I would elaborate, just a tiny bit. Hence the edit and partial rewrite. My question concerns calories, mostly how to increase your calorie intake without gaining all of the weight that you've lost back. Currently I am at just around 293 pounds with a goal of 199, just to start off with of course. So far I've…

I think it's brilliant. Usually dancing isn't my favorite version of art form. I prefer singing/music. But if I could dance like that, I definitely would! It just looks fun!

I eat at around 1,200 calories a day.

I think you're over exaggerating, to be honest. Not everyone is overweight, at least not where I'm from. In fact most of the people around Georgia are thin. Which I hate. It makes me feel so out of place...

In that case... if she just wants to hang out and you don't mind, just invite her back to your place for some bread.

Okay. Here's my two cents. Let him eat what he wants! Just teach him portion control. Instead of letting him eat that whole burger, maybe you should just let him have half. Instead of that soda that he wants so badly, try suggesting the zero calorie option. There are ways that he can eat what he wants! As long as you stick…

There's nothing wrong with eating a burger every now and then. Don't let anyone tell you differently. I'm eating just at 1,200 calories a day and I still have room to add half a burger in there. Half a WHOPPER to be precise. And I'm still losing weight. I just lay off the sodas.

Yes, well I'd rather not offend my 76 year old grandmother.

I hate to break it to you but I'm eating at exactly 1,200 calories a day and it's working for me! I went over that calorie limit last week because I had to go out of town and couldn't take my laptop with me, kept exercising and I didn't gain any of it back. I think that speaks for itself.

Dump the health food and go for something good! It's low calorie but it's still delicious! I usually have it every morning. 2 slices of bacon.- 80 2 Kellog Eggo Nutri Grain Low fat waffles - 140 1/4 cup Aunt Jemima light syrup - 100 Tropicanna orange juice - 110 Total - 430 calories

Life style change? I'm not sticking to only 1,200 calories forever. I'm only doing that until I get down to 199. Then I'm upping it to an amount where I can lose only two pounds a week. Cutting back and not eating so much? That's what I'm doing. But portion control is basically what I'm doing. I can eat whatever I want as…

Yes! It happens all the time! "You're not eating enough! We're worried about you! A few more pieces of this or that won't kill you!" God! I am so tired of having to tell them that I'm on a diet constantly!

I heard that it's fine to lose more if you have a long way to go. I started at three hundred and twenty pounds. I'm now down to 293. When I get to 200, then I'll slow down.

I have been fat most of my life and I'm tired of it! The only time that I was ever thin was when I was two years old. I don't want to be this size when I'm thirty, so I'm sorry if I'm going a little overboard with the weight loss thing. I refuse to continue to be fat!

I think I can handle it. My grandfather on my father's side is a plastic surgeon in Washington D.C.

I think I'll just lose weight rapidly and then have the surgery to get rid of the excess skin.

I want to fit into a bikini by next Summer. The only way to do that is five pounds a week. I just need to figure out how to avoid the skin flab...

*bump*

The basic rule of weight loss is to burn 500 more calories than you consume. I usually eat what I want regardless of carbs, sugar, etc and I'm still losing weight. I have cut my calories down to 1,200 a day and I burn about 909 a day with Zumba Fitness 2.

Why do that, Health Gal? I'm allowed 100 calories for snacks. I'm allowed to eat snacks twice a day. I also eat every three hours and I keep my calories right at 1,200.

You can eat snacks! Don't tell yourself that you can't. A calorie is still a calorie after all and there are some low calorie snacks. Look for those in the grocery isle. For example if I start craving ice cream I just grab one of my low calorie ice cream sandwiches and cure that craving. i'm still losing weight too! Also…

Well I know the rules of weight loss. You're suppose to burn 500 more calories than you consume a day to lose one pound. I'm eating 1,200 calories and burning 909. I'd like to up that a little and burn 1,200 calories. That would enable me to lose five pounds a week, if my calculations are right.

Okay. First of all, don't cry. Crying will not help at all. Secondly, you're only one hundred and forty-six pounds! That's only twenty-three pounds away from your ideal body weight. It won't take you that long to lose it. It's not as if you're morbidly obese, so stop having the aneroxic mind set! I would kill to be only…

Thanks. Although that wasn't the answer I was looking for...

Hi! I'm not exactly 5'7" but I'm close. , I'm medium to big boned. I don't know what my body shape is yet as I can't exactly see it yet. I allowed myself to gain far too much weight in my teen years. I was lazy and simply didn't care. I'm down to 297 now and my weight loss goal is 130! I'd say 140 would be a good weight…

Okay. Here's the thing. You're eating too few calories. If you want to cut back a lot and I mean a lot, the least amount you can eat without going into starvation mode is 1,200. If you go into starvation mode your body will want to hang onto that fat! That is definitely not something that you want. Also, I've found that if…
