  • If I'm hungry I eat a snack, if I'm not hungry I let the time pass. It just depends. I try not to eat big meals, because they always make me feel bloated. Every few hours works for some people. Just be sure to stay within your calorie range, and you are good to go.

  • My height is 5'4 and current weight is 159. I am also a powerlifter, if that matters. When I look in the mirror I still see the obese person I always used to be. My doctor told me last week I should consider reducing my calories and exercising more to achieve a healthy body weight.

  • You are not alone! Even though I have already lost over 100 lbs I still have about 50 to go. For me the key has been realizing this is a lifestyle change.

We went "running" three times a week for 30 at first. I put running in quotes because looking back now it was more of a shuffle than a run.…

  • I cannot speak for other people, but 1,200 calories a day works for me. I loose weight, and I do not feel hungry. I feel like I am eating what I need, and my recent blood test done by my doctor confirm that. My body had all the nutrients it needed. That is not the right number for everyone, and it is important that…
    in I was starving myself - Now I just had buttered cornbread! Comment by s_masters20 August 2013
  • I often don't reach the calorie goals that are posted, but I try to at least intake 1,200 calories a day to prevent my body from going into starvation mode. Of course this is not always how things go. Due to dietary restrictions placed on me for medical reasons there is a lot of food I cannot eat, and sometimes I do not…
