I never lost weight on weight watchers. I don't know what the deal was but I always felt like it was too many points and probably that in combination with me making mistakes was just a disaster!

You are gorgeous!!! :) Nice job and how wonderful it must feel to be able to say you're down 55 lbs for the holidays!

I'm trying it today. I have also done the 5:2 and lost weight very easily. The first round I did was easy as pie. The second round I could not shake desperate hunger so I gave up. Supposedly the every other day is easier because your body gets used to the calorie change up every other day because it operates on a 48 hour…

I'm just starting (well about for the 10th time). Each time I've started I've had a goal 135, 150, 160, etc. But now I've decided to eat 1500 calories a day. It allows me to enjoy life, eat how I would like to eat in type and amount of food, and not be hungry. I'm not willing to lower that so whatever weight I land at will…

I'm also a very hungry person. If I get hungry I throw all caution to wind and binge. So for the last week I've been eating 1 protein, 1 fat and 1 carb each meal and I am totally satisfied. This means you really have to know that counts as one portion size for each. Check out my food diary if you like. I got this idea from…

From what I've read the high end of balance is limiting yourself to one hour of any exercise and take one day off for rest the low end of balance would be 30 minutes 3-4 times a week.

Get back on track and drink lots of water to flush that out.

Dance party!! B) I found out today that my assistant wants bariatric surgery. The conversation started because I commented that his shirts were looking looser. He said he had lost 69 pounds in the last 6 months and it wasn't super hard. I told him about your post and encouraged him to continue on his own (as that surgery…

I just started again last Thursday. Feel free to add me.

I once heard that people who are naturally thin tend to eat whatever they want on special occasions but go right back to eating how they normally do the very next day. My plan is to track all day, exercise that morning which will buy me a 200-300 calories extra, and to eat every type of food I want to eat but in normal…

I haven't looked into that maybe I will.

I started eating 1 protein, 1 carb and 1 fat (that's 1 tablespoon) every meal which has been a lifesaver for me. I'm a hungry person all the time. I like to party in the kitchen every day! But I started eating this way last Thursday and I am NOT hungry. I try to eat the type of protein, carbs and fats that are the most…

I totally understand the getting tired of logging thing. I've been on and off this site so many times over the years. Then I went and bought the containers for the 21 day fix diet as you can just buy the containers if you want. I about fell over when I saw how small a portion size is. Wow was I wayyy off! So I'm back. I…

Just for the record, I sure wish they would eliminate 'medium' size fruits and vegetables. A dietician showed me one time what a medium size is - think of the smallest piece of fruit or vegetable you have every seen in the grocery store and that was the medium.

I have irritable bowel syndrome and I have to eat as least of processed food at possible which works out to a moderate amount. Some foods I can never eat - Starbucks they over roast their coffee. I can only drink coffee in general a 2-3 times a week. Velvetta - big no no. I never eat pre-shredded cheese either, it's coated…

Every morning then I like to look back ever the week prior on the same day to see where I was at.

I'm not a runner but I do have an open food diary. Feel free to add me!!

I like a salad full of veggies and full fat dressing paired with 1/2 sandwich. Volume.

He's clearly all about the money.

Yes please!

I like 1500 calories too. I tried the 1200 that was recommended and I just could not stick to it. I'm much happier now. I like to match up a protein, carb and fat each meal. It requires you know portion sizes but it effectively kills my hunger like none other.

I have to ask....and I'm assuming that by them eating anything you believe they are eating in excess? Do you know for a fact that every day, all day, they eat in excess? Not very many people have a true fast metabolism. I'm wondering if it only appears they can eat anything but really they aren't eating anything during the…

I'm at 1500 cal and I'm losing for now. I may lower that in time. I also have a commitment to eat 1 protein, 1 carb, and 1 fat (1 fat is1 tablespoon) at each meal, veggies are free. It brings structure to my day and helps me from not overeating at one or more meals and then running out of calories by the end of the day. It…

Yep. She lists fats as avocados, bacon, butter, chocolate, coconut, cream, eggs (also could be a protein), mayo, olives, salad dressing, sour cream, oil, etc. most are 1 Tablespoon, avocado would 1/4 of one. Bacon is 2 strips unless it's thick then it's 1.

Congratulations Kevin! I love your tip about adding nutrition in to your news reader. As far as kale, I think it should be outlawed :smiley:
