I'm 25, not in college anymore (finished) but feel free to add me anyway!

I've tried it and it didn't work for me because I find any diet where I need to cut out specific food groups I cannot stick to. For me personally, I would just rather eat whatever I usually eat but control my portions. Every diet at the end of the day just works by creating a calorie deficit. Good luck with it!

I think different methods work for different people and there is no point trying to encourage doing what works for you because it might not work for them. I've had terrible diet advice in the past and now I just listen to my own body. I personally stay away from artificial sugar because I find it makes me crave real sugar…

Perhaps you have a sluggish thyroid like me? I was only eating 1500-1700 calories a day but still gaining weight until I took a blood test and found the cause. Also, I find eating higher fat meals help (good fat). I like to eat lots of salmon, coconut milk, nuts and avacado. I know it's high cal but it stops you from…

I find salads with a protein are filling and satisfying. I make a vietnamese salad with lean pork or chicken, cilantro, chilli, carrot, bean sprouts and a very small amount of thin rice noodles (about 1/4 of a cup).

Thanks Ophidion!

I tend to think the best diets involve eating everything in moderation. So if I were you, I'd still eat pizza but as a part of my diet, it doesn't have to be a cheat or your 'last day of eating' thing. You can make home made mini pizzas (easy and cheap/not wasteful) if you live alone and you can top them with healthier…

I've just joined and I am also looking for friends to motivate me/to give support in return. So please feel free to add me!!

Thanks Mitch. I'm going to need to get use to the imperial system :P I only use the metric system, so I need to always convert the pounds >.<

Hi there! I'm new too :) Feel free to add me, we can support each other :)

I have spent the last 20 minutes going through this entire thread and I am speechless. Well done to all of you who have lost so much weight, you are all such strong people who are a huge motivation to us all.
