by looking at your diary i agree with caracrawford on some levels. you have little to no vegetables or fruit, and do eat too much processed items. this would explain however why you stay full with all the fat, sodium, and protein. i also am not a snacker during the day. its such a pain in the you know what. but if you…

i was in a similar position im 22 5'4" 185 lbs and i was eating about 1500 cal and working out 4/5 days a week. i lost some inches but no weight at all after about 2 months. i knew i could be stricter with my diet but i wasn't ready to bite the bullet because its hard work dieting. but i recently reduced my calories to…

i wish you luck on your journey. my boyfriends father hes 53 years old also weights around 400 pound he suffers from heart disease, diabetes, and cellulite on his legs i believe. he recently had a near death experience when his leg got infected and he almost died. also was in a nursing home for 3 months rehabilitating. he…

i understand what your going through where i work we have some (clients) that stink so badly mainly children, which is sad because its not there fault they dont have good parents to keep up with their hygiene. however it still leaves you in a very awkward position. i agree with some of this advice. i like the idea of…

120-135 personally i don't think you need to loose anything but if your goal is to get healthy and exercise im all for it.

wow you are doing such a good job. i also took before pictures, and even after a month i can see the change even with mo actual weight loss just muscle and toning but im planning to do more pictures on my 3 months.] keep it up.

no you need to create a deficit though-out the week. a pound is roughly 3500 cal so if you create a deficit of 500 cal a day that's 1 pound a week mfp tells you how many calories you should consume to loose your targeted amount per week. for example if your bmr is 1800 cal witch is what you calories burned at resting rate…

don't do that, it is ridiculous. unless you can afford to pay that kind of money. if i was rolling around in dough i would.so if you are more power to you i guess.

tuckeychicken: awesome because that was my original goal to loose by christmas

sure send me a request. i try to eat max 1500 cal but quality of calories is always important and allot of the time ill choose a less healthy option with the same calories. so i think its not all in the calories. ive been eating allot less than i used to before i started all this but i think i still need to cut it down. as…

thanks for your comments i will try being more mindful of my calories and portions. do you think i should eat more often in smaller portions? i do not snack very much. i eat breakfast lunch dinner and maybe one snack. and what do you recommend for calorie intake im 5'5" and 184 and i would like to loose 1- 1.5 pounds a…

seems of my pants fit a tinny bit looser and i notice toning because of the weight lifting and squats etc but i need to loose the weight and then ill worry about toning .30 pounds seem so daunting. but one day at a time right.

branstin i would have to agree with you. even though im eating much much less than i did before maybee i am still eating to much. idk i really dont want to have to be starving all the time :( .it works, ive done it in the past but idk if i can do that for very long because then i end up binge eating. with what im doing now…

as for your questions water? i always struggle with getting enough liquids im not a very big drinker ( not soda, juice anything)but i have improved before i could go a whole day without drinking anything. exercise? the first 2 weeks i jogged and walked 3 miles 4 days a week. then i started the gym i do 30- min variations…

i do count i just don't weight my food, sometimes i estimate things but i always read nutritional information and try to limit sugars as much as i can. as for exercise ive been doing variations of jogging elliptical stair-master and weight lifting. thanks for your input. :).

yes. as i said i could eat better ill admit that, but ive dieted allot in the past and am pretty familiar with counting calories. ive always been able to loose 5- 7 pounds just with dieting in the past. i used to go as low as 1100 but that was brutal and i would give up after 2 months so i didn't want to go that low. but…

ive been exercising and dieting for a month now and haven't lost anything, but everyone keeps telling me i look like ive lost weight i know im probably toning and gaining muscle but i still want to see that scale go down : (

ive been dieting end exercising excessively for a month now and have only lost 2 pounds. speed up that walk and maybe do a little jogging. youll know when you feel the burn. when you are more than 50 pounds over weight i notice the first couple of pounds come off quicker but me im about 30 pounds over weight and mine has…

keep at it i need to lose 30 pounds and my wight has always been so stubborn ive been eating much better under 1500 cal a day and working out 4- 5 days a week for a minimum of an hour for a month now. and guess what ive lost 2 pounds. so that's discouraging. but i keep telling my self its not about the scale, its about…

im 22 also and started my lifestyle change 3 weeks ago. my sister has been exercising for about 5 months now so im using her to help me stay motivated we go to the gym together. if i had any tips i would say don't weigh yourself for at least the first month if your working out hard you'll feel it. and your muscles and body…

i just started excising and eating better 2 weeks ago, i really would like to loose 20 to 30 pounds my self. i also Plateau very easily usually i loose 5 pounds and then nothing for over a month. im 5, now and weight 182 .but i dont know your fat to muscle body composition but you could be putting on alot of muscle. but…
