I drink most of my vegetables (juiced, not smoothies). I eat a small amount because the fiber is good but if we're talking straight micronutrients here, I think it's more efficient (for me at least) to drink it, that way I know I got the daily recommended servings and I didn't have to sit down and force it. It has worked…

My goal weight is the lower end of the normal range for someone of my height and frame based on BMI. That's 130lbs. 145 is at the higher end of normal. I'd be happy at that point as well. As for whether I will go to maintenance at that point, I want to say no but realistically, I will be quite happy just to make it to…

I struggle sometimes but everyone's support has been instrumental in keeping…

That said, that is a great move to switch up your daily routine to going to gym instead of sitting in the…

I used to think the same...no time for good nutrition and exercise. Guess where it got me??? Now that I have re-assessed what I am doing, I can spare an hour a day for exercise, I…

Took me a couple weeks when I started to actually see some weight come off...it was nothing, nothing, nothing and then one morning, 4 lbs gone, just like that. Different for everyone but stick with it. If you're feeling stronger, healthier, more energetic and more daring because of the workouts and eating better, then let…

I have about that amount to lose as well and I have a desk job also. I find that when I consumed 900-1000 calories, I lost less weight than when I took it up to around 1200. I guess my body goes into starvation mode then. I am satisfied at around 1200. I try to use a sense of "satisfaction" as a guide generally so don't…
