If you're really eating only 1200-1300 calories and still not losing weight, try keeping to a whole foods plant-based diet for a while - no animal products, and no added oil. Eat your fill of veggies, fruit, beans, lentils, and starchy carbs like potatoes and brown rice, all made without oil. Drink water, not juice (only…

I think it depends on how much you need to lose. For me, even losing 5 lbs is very noticeable because I need to lose only about 12, but someone with a lot to lose (30 or more), a 5 lb loss would not be very obvious.

I decided to go with my husband for a 5-day trip to visit family; usually I would let my recent 10-lb weight gain stop me from meeting anyone or going anywhere, but I've decided to seize the day - life's too short (and precious) to be wasted on weight worries.

Thank you everyone for your words of understanding and encouragement. One of the worst parts of being a 'binger' is having no one to talk to about it, who would understand - so it's great that I can tell other people and not feel so isolated. My plan: I'm going to check out 'Whole 30' Eat a bit more on a daily basis, in…

Thanks, everyone, for your feedback. I guess it varies with the individual, and getting rid of as much fat will help, as will weight-training. I'll let you know my own results when I get to goal. :smile:

I'm new - could you please explain what 'Insanity' is?

Due to my monthly cycle, I can expect to gain 1.5 lbs from fluid retention every month, about mid-cycle. It's frustrating when I'm trying to lose weight, but I just have to accept it.
