I need to lose 100. Add me :)

I have been trying out diet coke lately; I don't want to have it daily (I'm not really a soda person), but sometimes it works!! Not so much, other times. Like today :(

Actually 2lbs/week gave me 1200 calories, and 1.5 gave me 1460 or thereabouts, so I manually changed the calories to 1500. Have been doing this for about 5 weeks, it's just that being hungry makes me cranky. Thank you for your advice. I shall try more protein,I guess. I hit my fibre goal almost daily :)

Also, most of what I eat count as carbs, I think. And so far, they are not helping that much with satiety.

I think where I struggle the most is with eating fats; I am scared of them for no good reason. Can anybody please suggest some quick, low calorie snacks? I feel especially hungry at office between 5-6pm, I think. I am 23, by the way.

So, my maintenance is about 2150 cals, and estimating 100 cals burnt for every 2k steps, that would put me in a deficit of about 1000 cals. (If I take 10k steps everyday, but my weekly average is 60k I think).

Any more suggestions?

Right now, I am sedentary, although I plan on getting active soon. I figured I will stick to 1500 for now. Thanks for the advice!

Read through the forum posts and the stickies. There is a lot of solid information from well educated people, here. If you did not gain the weight in 21 days,you are probably not going to lose it in 21 days. Educate yourself about nutrition, buy a food scale,log honestly. Make some lifestyle changes. Don't make yourself…

I would say, set a different goal. Learn about nutrition, and what works for you. Focus on your relationship with food. I am a yo yoer myself and this is my goal for the first 3 months. Weight loss will come as a side effect. And if I am able to transform my relationship with food, there will be no looking back. I know…

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1448249/diagnosed-living-with-pcos-read-me/p1 this is some good information regarding pcos. i have had it for 5 years now, and diet, exercise and calorie deficit works for me. but, everybody is different,so you might have to play around with macros a bit to find what works…

Whatever the above poster said. Also, make sure to read the stickies in the forum in each section. There's good information by many successful people. Amazing job! And go get those last 10! :smile:

Hello, I have had type 2 diabetes for 5 years now. Diet and exercise keeps me on track. I've lost 34 lbs in the 5 months I've been here. The best way is to see how my body feels and reacts. For exercise, I started walking and then I found fitness blender and absolutely fell in love with their workout videos. I do cardio…

I lost 34 lbs, and I'm a 23 year old woman and people still don't notice! :wink:

I'm 5' 3.75'', and I started at 239lbs. I have lost 34 lbs so far. My boyfriend noticed the first 10lbs, and close friends noticed 25lbs. Many, many friends don't see a change at all, or they don't comment. I still wear most of my old clothes, but I have bought a few new ones and I get more comments when I wear those. As…

Another fitness blender fan here. I love, love, love them. I started about 3 months ago, and use the dumbbells I bought. Bodyweight exercises do help a lot. I'm now doing their free 5 day challenges and loving that as well.

Thank you, I'll keep going since it's the only option! :smile:

I have went down a size, in fact; but my brain keeps telling me that the stores have changed their sizing!! :smiley:

Thank you! For some reason, when I look into the mirror, I can't see any loss at all! It's really frustrating.

Body image takes a huge hit, either way! Congratulations on your loss and good luck for the rest! :smile:

Never thought about it that way! Yes, to each their own i guess! Thank you for giving me that perspective! :smile:

Yes, I am! I hope this goes away SOON :smile:

I used to have the puffy hands when I first started out. It's been a 3 months and they have disappeared. I track the number of steps, so if I get closer to 15k,sometimes the puffiness returns. But, for the most part, I'm doing OK. Good luck on your journey! :smile:

22, 23 this Monday :smile:

Stomach.. Hips and thighs seem to be the last to go :neutral:

Exactly this!! So much this!

Loved your take on the journey! This is a success story very different from what I usually read! Amazing! Well done! :smile:

I'm in India; I know it's not okay! Thank you for your kind words :smile:

I will do exactly what you told me to do! I enjoy walking and I walk as far as I can, as often I can. I know it's a long process;I just needed to hear it from somebody who has been there and come out of it! Thank you so much! :smile:
