That's why I gave my specifics and said how much I weighed, how many calories were my goal, how many calories I ate. So anybody reading knew exactly what my specifics where. No where did I make any statement or any claim, everything was specifically to what I've done. Maybe I'm mistaken. I thought this was a forum and…

Where did I say my situation applies to any one else, or that I thought my situation applies to any one else. All I did was say my situation. I get the hint, since I was morbidly obese I'll keep my comments to my self and not talk about my personal weight loss in the future. One more thought, wouldn't ANYBODY that needs to…

I started my weight loss on Oct. 5th 2013, I weighed 452 lbs. On April 24th 2014 I weighed 350. When I started off my calorie goal to lose 2 lbs was 2,800 calories, I ate around 1,700. I lost the first 50 lbs. by New Years. After the first of the year I upped my average calories to about 2,300 calories and started to go…

I think the problem is with all this stuff is it gives you hope, and then once you fail it makes you feel like you can't do this. I was honestly convinced that I couldn't lose weight on my own. I had given up even trying because I knew I'd fail and just end up gaining the weight back, and the yo-yoing wasn't doing me any…

I've been wondering the same thing. I plan on going to Vegas in June for my best friends wedding. I plan on trying to stick to my diet as close as possible, but I do plan on drinking which more than likely will put me over. Also, I'd imagine as a group we will go out to eat, and I'd like to be able to get what I want. I'm…

I hate to see when people put time frames on their weight loss like this. Basically your options are try and do your best, you probably will only lose 20lbs, but that's way better than being 40 lbs. over weight. Or you can do nothing, then next year at this time make a post about needing to lose 50lbs by bikini season.

Will the suffering ever end? First the Ukraine and now this.

I lost around 70 lbs. on the Atkins diet around 10 years ago. I hit a stall where I didn't lose any weight for over 2 months and I fell off the wagon. The diet works but I think it's really hard to make it a lifestyle change.

I really find all this sad. I was convinced that I couldn't stick with a diet by just cutting calories. I tried fad diets, waited for the "miracle pill" meanwhile I just kept gaining weight. Then a professor at the University that I went to wrote a paper on what he called the c-store diet. He went on a diet and everything…

I've been less hungry since eating less too. Whatever the reason is, I'm glad.

I was thinking about this the other day. Should this really be called a "diet"? What I'm doing is a life style change, because when I get down to the weight I want, I'm going to keep logging and keep counting calories. A "diet" seems like a temporary thing, not something I plan on doing until the day I die.

I started my diet with a goal to lose 227 lbs. so obviously I'm pretty over weight. It hurt my back and knees to do anything, even walking. I of course wanted to be more active so my hope was to start losing weight, then I could start with more physical things when some of this weight came off. I'm currently down 59 lbs.…

For now the only way is hard work. Although, I know for a fact the day I reach my goal weight there will be a story that they finally figured out the magic pill.

My goal is to keep on keeping on. I feel each day I'm on this diet the closer I am to making this a way of life.

I build some really bad eating habits when I was a teenager. When in high school we got a 30 minute lunch period, if you was one of the last ones to get served you literally would have 5 minutes to eat your lunch, so while in high school I got into the habit of eating food as fast as I possibly could. Plus during that…

Why not just start a normal diet today and see where it takes you. I think it's very possible for you to lose 20 lbs. by the time your bf shows up, and telling someone that you lost 20 lbs in 2 months should impress them I would think, then you can tell him, next time we meet I'll be down to my goal weight.

I'm going to log for the rest of my life, or a major stroke, which ever comes first.

My what if has always been, what if I would of started this diet 4 years ago. I put 100 lbs on in the last 4 years and it frustrates me thinking where I'd be if I started this diet 4 years and 100 lbs. lighter. Don't be 4 years down the road and thinking about those what ifs. Start today, and all the other what ifs, take…

I did the Adkins diet 10 years ago and lost 60 lbs. on it. While on it they constantly talked about Adkins diet has to be a life change, you have to change the way you eat. Even while losing weight, I knew that was a diet that I couldn't be on my entire life. I always wanted to have carbs, or see a commercial and I'd…

Over eating can be a vice just like alcohol, drugs, or gambling. You more than likely were over eating to surpress some kind of feelings or emotions. Just like alchohol, drugs or gambling, when someone quits their vice, something else rises to the top that they are now forced to deal with. I've got a really good friend…

I drive a semi for a living, and I'll eat a can of campbell's soup for dinner and then a regular meal for supper. I don't consider myself on a soup diet. The soups are low in calories so it helps me stay under my allotted calories. When I'm home I'll also fix a lot of different soups to eat, they are normally pretty easy,…

I've always had an insane appetite, I'm not into sweets or anything like that, but when I'd eat I ate. I never thought cutting calories would work for me because of my appetite. Well, I reached a point where I was going to have to go up a size in jeans and shirts, I was looking on the internet for them, because you can't…

Not to fall off my diet is my one and only goal. Last time I tried to diet I fell off the diet over the holidays because of all the food, promised myself I'd start back up after the holidays ended. Well, 2 years later I'm back at.

I'm new to this too, feel free to add me, goes for anyone else too, looking for friends on this site.
