I found that weight came off very quickly in the beginning and definitely started to slow down... I also became a little more relaxed about my diet the closer I got to my goal of 140. 180: (10/01/13) 175: (10/10/13) 170: (10/26/13) 165: (11/14/13) 160: (12/01/13) 155: (12/13/13) 150: (01/08/14) 145: (02/21/14) 140:…

When I am losing weight I prefer weighing myself every morning... It keeps me motivated and on track. I like to see the number steadily go down, but I don't let normal fluctuations get me upset. If you are one of those people that get traumatized any time the scale shows an insignificant increase one morning I wouldn't…

"I barely eat at all and I'm extremely over weight." Sorry buddy, but that's not the way things work 99% of the time. You ARE eating more than you think. If you weren't, you wouldn't be fat. "I thought you were on a diet, so why are you eating _____?" Because I can eat whatever I want in moderation... IIFYM my dear :smile:

I have the implanon right now and I haven't experienced any side effects regarding my weight. I maintained my weight for a couple months, put on a few holiday pounds and now I'm having no trouble taking them off. My biggest complaint with that blasted birth control is the acne I've developed. Nothing I have tried has…

Recently I was given a nutribullet and I've been making smoothies for breakfast ever since. I think they are great but when it comes to weight loss it all boils doing to calories. I try to make mine 200 calories or less and eat egg whites as well to get some protein in. I didn't think it was possible to feel such a…

Hellman's light mayo and sweet relish :heart_eyes:

I grouped them in a way that made sense to me... hope this helps Eggs, greek yogurt, tilapia, boneless skinless chicken tenderloins, ground turkey/chicken, salmon, tuna, protein powder Bananas, blueberries, strawberries, spinach (for smoothies and salads), Frozen veggies... mostly corn, carrots, green beans, peas Oatmeal,…

Hahahaha! OP, you have the same as me! Chipotle chicken burrito bowl and a diet coke

I'm 5'3 and weigh 145lbs. My 1RM is 135lbs but I've been doing 105lbs 5X5 lately. I'm trying to bump that up to 115.

My son is 1.5 years old and I gained 70 pounds while pregnant. My heaviest weight was 224lbs. It was incredibly demoralizing and depressing. After he was about a year old I decided to take charge of my life and get back in shape. My goal was to look similar to my body in my early 20's. Here's some pictures of my…

oops... haha... change mine to abstinent

I think I read somewhere that she is a long distance cyclist... which explains why she can eat all those carbs. She is a complete whacko and I wouldn't recommend that anyone survive on just fruit. Telling people that they can eat limitless fruit and lose weight is complete nonsense and irresponsible at best.

Yes, since November 2011. By choice... I'm focusing on myself and haven't met someone that am interested in enough to sleep with. Before that the longest I ever went was probably 3 months and not by choice.

I wouldn't throw around the word "binge" when you simply mean overeating. My "overeating" days are 2400-3000. My last binge was around 6000... it was bad and I'm hoping that it won't happen again.

I did 16/8 for a while and really liked it initially... until I started binge eating. I don't recommend IF for anyone with disordered eating like binging. Btw, I was never really a binge eater before trying IF.

Anywhere from 1400-1800... I'm trying to find my sweet spot where I can lose weight but not feel hungry/tired. I lost the majority of my weight eating 1200-1400, but there's no way I can do that anymore.

Ice Cream!! Flaming Hot Cheetos Peanut Butter M&M's I still try to fit them in... If I make it all weekend without going over I'm going to have some PB M&M's on Monday. So excited :love:

I eat brunch :bigsmile: I wake up around 7:00 am but I don't eat breakfast until around 10:30. If I eat any earlier than that I'm starving all day and I run out of calories.

:laugh:

Amen!

Log everything, no matter what it is. Weigh everything. Fruit can definitely make you fat. And I wouldn't post in the forums if you are that sensitive OP... people can get pretty harsh around here, although I didn't see anything in this thread to get worked up over.

Well put. :flowerforyou:

Because you say it's not a good comparison, then I guess it's not. One can live quite well without ice cream and peanut butter. But for some people these foods elicit a compulsive response in their brain that makes them want MORE, MORE, MORE! In this case, these foods much like other addictions should not be eaten in…

Why do you assume they don't "truly understand" their diet... and maybe low carb does make them happy. Geez... OP, lifting weights while in a caloric deficit will tell your body to keep the muscle it does have and in some cases build new muscle -- usually in noobs. I've been eating in a caloric deficit, for the most part,…

I don't know if I should even bother responding, because wow... but here goes nothing. Food addiction -- Compulsive overeating, also sometimes called food addiction, is characterized by the compulsive eating of food. Professionals address this with either a behavior therapy model or a food-addiction model. And I highly…

I'm 5'3! SW: 203 CW: 145 GW: 140

All of that sounds lovely and I wish I were able to do it... There are certain things I just cannot have in my house, ice cream being one of them. I bought frozen yogurt this week and the gallon was gone in 4 days. Some people are seemingly unable to control themselves when it comes to certain "trigger foods". In theory…
