If you need to lose 125 lbs, you definitely are ok to lose 2 lbs a week. Honestly, if you're not starving on what youre eating now, you're probably fine in general.

Bmi is really only helpful if you're very average height and build at 4'11" you are neither of those things. If you feel healthy and your doctor thinks so too I wouldn't worry about it

I use the Leslie sansone walk away the pounds videos. I get them on YouTube. There's no jumping etc. so they won't be annoying to your downstairs neighbors. Also, you can ask other people about their exercise routines all you want but if you're eating an excess of calories you're never going to lose the weight no matter…

I almost always buy hummus and turkey burgers

^This. I have about a 12 inch difference in my measurements AKA my waist is TINY for my weight and my hips are definitely not and these are the only jeans I will buy.

My mom and I will often challenge each other to a fast walking race to the entrance of or down an aisle in a store. She was morbidly obese for most of my childhood and I often had to walk very slowly for her to be able to keep with me and its fun for her that sometimes she beats me now. Maybe you could try things like that…

I had mine out when i was 18, and i will be 25next week, and i thought this was going to be my life too. I was told by about a million doctors that it was because i needed to eat healthier/less and i blew them all off. However, it turns out, now that im doing the healthy eating and exercising thing its like 95% better. If…

my sister, my nephew and my birthday are all within a month of each other.What we did was make fruit pizza for my sisters(hers is first), had normal birthday cake for my nephews birthday (he just turned one and it only happens once a year) and we're going to do frozen yogurt for mine in a couple weeks.

you look amazing! good work.

I'm only 5'1" 200 ish pounds now want to get down to around 120 but I've never been that small post puberty so we'll see. So far, I'm loving all the support MFP has to offer

I have been using just dance and love it. I've also tried ea active but I don't like it because i feel it's too picky about how you move the controllers and such

Awesome!

Looking awesome! I'm just now starting to realize how fun losing weight can be too,

You're doing an amazing job! Way to go!

My mom started out by simply just walking in place every place she went where we had to stand for even a few minutes. It helped her lose over 20lbs, you could try that.

To be able to say "trust me your clothes won't fit me" to my friends for a good reason.

Congrats! Looking great!

I lost about 5 pounds before joining MFP but wanted to see how "bad" I was really eating so I joined to track my calories and have stayed thanks to the awesomely supportive community.

This is all awesome advice. Also, don't finish eating something if you don't like it, even if it causes people to make comments

Ditto

Welcome, I'm only 24 but I too have around 80lbs ultimately to lose. I just started about a week ago but I'm loving the community support around here. Feel free to friend me

Also, all of this is amazing advice!

I think to start out and just log every single thing you eat is an awesome idea. It will help you see where you're going wrong and personally at first it helped me to see that I was honestly making more good choices than bad but there was definitely things I needed to work on.

Onederland for me means I will have lost roughly ten percent of my highest weight ever. It will also be the smallest I've been since I moved to help out my older sister who was very sick with severe depression five years ago. It means that I'm no longer letting losing 3 relatives and going through a bad car accident and a…

Eating out with friends every once in a while isn't going to kill you, especially if you're doing really well at home. As for wanting to make it look like you can eat anything you want and still lose weight, while I'm sure you can do so, for the sake of women everywhere don't. It's hard enough to be on a weight loss…

Try lessening it to one a week or only have it certain places such as a restaurant. In reality one coke every once in a whole wont kill you. I read a book called What to Eat by Marion Nestlé. It's super informative and easy to understand. Micheal Pollan is another great author to check out
