Your body doesn't create fat cells. You are born with a certain number of fat cells. They just get bigger when you gain weight, and smaller when you lose weight.

Beringen, Belgium

Feel free to add me. I've been on MFP since 2 months and I log daily ;)

Also feel free to add me. I also log daily ;)

Hi! I can also always use some more friends on mfp ;) I'm also early 20s. I still have around 5kg(12lb) to lose. Feel free to add me ;)

Feel free to add me ;) I'm sure you can do it this time ;)

Hi, Mfp does work. If it's not working your daily goal is too high or you aren't logging everything correctly. Also give it some time: weight loss goes slowly. I'm using runkeeper to calculate my exercise calories. You also don't have to eat all your exercise calories back. But it's motivating being able to eat something…

That's also what I do ;) But you can also remove the meat before eating.

I also have a normal flat treadmill. I do lose weight using it together with a daily calorie deficit. You won't lose weight if you use it and consume to many calories daily. The more you use it, the more calories you will need daily and the more chances that you're creating a calorie deficit.

You will be able to get fit and healthy using this website. Feel free to add me ;) I log daily and it's always nice to support each other ;)

I'll add you ;) I also log daily.

Did you try to eat fruit?

Belgium ;)

Don't eat less than 1000 calories! I even think you shouldn't eat less than 1200 cal/day. You won't get enough nutrition and your body will go in starvation, slow down its metabolism, break down muscles to maintain protein level. Your body can't store protein so be sure to eat enough protein every day. 2 kilos or even 1…

You can replace sugar with a sugar substitute. Which already can mean a big difference. But for the rest I don't know. Cake will always contain calories, but that doesn't mean you can eat it.

Un peu ;) J'habite en Flandre et ma langue maternelle est néerlandais.

I'm also from Belgium ;)

Welcome! It sure isn't easy to lose all the weight you want. It's easy for them to say it. But at the end it's important that you're happy with your weight. I'm sure you can reach your goal here in MFP ;)

Welcome!

I can imagine you felt depressed after 2 weeks of only fruits and vegetables. You can't survive on only fruits and vegetables. Also when you stop eating the things you love, you start getting depressed. It's important to change your lifestyle, eat healthier, reach your daily calorie goal. But not so drastic. You can always…

Welcome! Changing your lifestyle will make a difference ;) I also made that mistake with diets that weren't sustainable. And once you go back, you gain all your weight again. So I'm also trying to change my lifestyle now ;)

I will gladly support you. I am sure you can do it! So feel free to add me ;)

Ik ben ook van België. Het zou leuk zijn om ook enkele Nederlandstalige vrienden te hebben hier op MFP. Dus voeg me gerust toe ;)

It's not easy to keep focus all the time. It also happened to me in the past. I'm sure you can start again and reach your goal of 185lbs! I will add you ;)

Feel free to add me ;)

Fruits :) I always have calories left for in the evening. It doesn't contain so many calories (80-150) and it gives you a full feeling.

Hi! Good luck with it! I'm sure you can do it ;) Feel free to add me ;)

The biggest part is water in the beginning. But you don't only lose water in the beginning. Unless your body can burn water ;) If you only lose water it means you're eating enough calories to keep your weight level and consuming less sodium. But if you do that, your weight loss with stop when your sodium levels are steady…

Welcome back! I'm sure you can do it all again! Better to do it slow so it starts to get a change in lifestyle and not a period of starving yourself. I will add you :wink:

I'm also new here. It's always nice to get and give support. So feel free to add me :wink:
