At the amount you have to lose, you're better off doing it slowly. .5 lb to 1lb at a time... as you get closer to your goal weight it increasingly becomes harder to lose large amounts quickly. Doing it slowly also decreases the chance of regain.

What happens with white rice is they polish off all the high nutrient area... it looks prettier and it gets easier to digest. Think of it this way... have you ever eaten corn and seen it in your poop? That is largely because the hull of the corn isn't tremendously digestible compared to the internals of the corn. The same…

There is none, that myth was dispelled years ago by dozens of studies but it keeps resurfacing for some reason. Eating six small meals burns no more calories than eating one big one. The exception to that is if you can't get enough calories, due to extreme exercise (marathons, etc), restrictive surgery, and whatnot in…

You lose fat roughly in reverse order of how you gain it. If you have lose skin the only way to fix it is fill it with something... and muscle looks a lot better than nothing.

Are you weighing your food?

If you logged your food correctly mfp will already have accounted for that and you'll see what you have remaining, otherwise-- i'm not sure what you're asking.

I could them roughly at 50-70%, the formula without vo2max & heart rate are abysmal as far as accuracy goes... and gets worse if its not steady state cardio. (Also consider though-- 100 calories per mile ran at a NORMAL weight, someone 100 lbs over weight going 3 miles even walking is going to burn considerably more.)

Ask yourself this: 1) Is it fat? Is it skin? Is it lack of tone? If it's fat: Then, lower your body fat percentage... it's the only way to get rid of it. You can't specify the order in which the weight comes off and you can't spot exercise and lose in one area. If it's skin: Have you given it a couple years since losing…

Click on my profile. Look at my pictures. Keep letting yourself go and you'll look like me. You have two options- 1) Raise your lean muscle and lower your body fat, or 2) Lose weight Take your pick and do it before you end up with serious regrets.

Track your food. Control your portions. I eat mexican food, hell I make it at home regularly. It doesn't HAVE to be all that bad. Think Chicken Fajitas... I eat pizza... I eat candy bars... etc... portion control can make you able to eat your favorite foods regularly if you want. An occasional "cheat day" where you eat…

Well it depends, if your bmi is 19 and they're telling you that... yes perhaps you should take their advice. If you have an above normal bmi then perhaps it's pretty bad advice. Sometimes people are jealous and subconsciously trying to hinder your progress other times they're being genuinely honest and helpful... without a…

For any given item I can find an extreme edge case scenario to prove someone wrong... this is that edge case here because the majority are here to LOSE WEIGHT AND GET IN SHAPE, they're not (yet) elite athletes who's starve themselves the day before a match and spit in a cup all day to lose a bit more water weight to get…

Inches are better than pounds in all reality, pounds as a metric fluxuate a LOT due to water weight, sodium, shark week, exercise level, water intake, etc... they're good for determining an easy to measure weight TREND... but for accuracy, inches and body fat are where the ultimate measurements are.

#1 Log every day, log everything including drinks, vitamins, etc. EVERYTHING that goes in your mouth, log it. Until you do that, you really have no idea what you're getting calories wise. You can eat the most organic, healthiest food on the face of the earth and gain weight if you're getting to many calories.

Not a lady, but yes-- if you have significant weight to lose especially, you will lose weight in your feet. Mostly it comes in height and width though not so much length... although the general reduction makes the entire shoe fit better in most cases. (I go from 11.5 mens to a 9.5 mens due to width changes, unless i can…

Hint: Because people on keto need the fat.

naked, always have, always will.

So honestly the easy answer for anyone stressing here is this: count all things that list 0 calories as 5.

Almonds! 160 calories for 1oz (bout 25-35 in my bags usually)... Jerky, home made without sugared sauces is often as low as 50cal/oz (depending on cut) and is a favorite of mine as well and you can get good jerky if you're careful online (but it's not most commercial brands, but its cake easy to make yourself.) Greek…

I've known a few circumstances people were sabotaged, legitimately, one by his parents... who when they found out he was dieting started slipping butter into ~everything~ and another who's husband did similar. Shy that, it's just mostly lack of support.

If you like borderlands, try skyrim... open world sandbox. There are also mmo's as well, rift went free to play recently and it's worth playing. Assassins creed, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 are both like borderlands in many ways as well and GREAT games... Bioshock and Bioshock 2 have a great story with variable endings…

Just wanted to say, there are several very very attractive ladies in this thread who have lost significant weight and who need to stop, take a deep breath, and be confident in who they are now and not who they were. You are beautiful. Skin and all. If someone fails to see that you just got the early warning that they…

I about spit my drink, that was awesome :o) My wife and I both think you're a very attractive woman, you're right-- his loss.

If you love someone, you love them. Fat, skinny, extra skin or otherwise... if you have a strong healthy relationship, appearance is the least concern there is... the person inside is who matters. Frankly, if someone even told me when I was thin or fat they would leave me over something so superficial, I'd say my goodbyes.…

I'm sorry, I wish you well. Edit: To add some actual advice, lawyer up and keep doing what you've been doing.

Two words: Mobile App. Log it all, for eating out decide and enter what you're getting BEFORE you go. Helps keep the impulse eating at a minimum (and drinking to some degree.) For an extra kick, drink a glass of water before you eat anything... that will greatly reduce the amount you eat and drink while out at no real…

I'm not a breakfast person, so I'd likely do a snack and a snack for breakfast, but you sound like a breakfast person, do you feel hungry earlier or later, eat the bigger meal when you typically feel more hungry. Then have a nice simple snack later if you need to... that way you should be at considerably less calories for…

In my experience in the past, for men about 3-4 weeks, for women about 4-6 typically. You'll notice changes faster if your body fat is fairly low as well.

That's part of the whole activity, no need to double dip...

Well figure it this way... 113 calories per 8oz of apple juice. 97 calories in coke classic for 8oz. That said the apple juice is way better for you since it has nutrient value, but not necessarily lower calorie. You MUST log everything you eat and drink bar none. Because you drink it doesn't make it any less negative than…
