I find that cutting out fat is usually the culprit.

I have done it many times, but this time I know in my heart that this will be the last time, and I have already done it. I have never gone this long or felt this good before. All the things that I have heard before (eat less empty calories, move more, you don't need gimmicks or fad plans, just one food in front of the…

I guess what annoys me is what I know about my body is that one big meal is enough to set it back a few days even if I was perfect and on a "low" calorie day all the days leading up to it. I'm a daily weigher and can pretty much see steady weight loss everyday (of even a 1/4 of a pound) but if I go over one day it can take…

5"6 Highest weight: 260 Current Weight: 230

haha I love my rack - C cup and perfect. They used to be B cup before I put on weight so I am sorry to them go :(

I would suggest you look into practicing "mindfulness". My place of employment offered it as a free short course for employees and it was excellent for me. GIven that I am high stress and anxiety it helped me practice being 'present' instead of constantly worrying about the future. I think something like that may not stop…

I personally gained 25 kilos in a few short weeks while on prednisolone but I was on very high doses for Crohn's disease for several months. The doctor did not prepare me for the side effects at all, and I was hyper-vigilant, hungry all the time and completely irrational. Because the weight gain happened so quickly, it all…

Yum - I would love the recipe! Could you use any white fish fillet?

I used optifast as a kick start for a couple of weeks before a friend died unexpectedly and I decided to take a break. In that time I lost about 15 pounds. Since then I have lost another 15 pounds through eating a low calorie diet, but I am going to start up again this Sunday on optifast. I like the idea of alternating on…

Why are you doing 2 hours of stair master a day? You will not be able to sustain that level of exercise. Cut it down to an hour and use the other time to learn a new skill or short course. It will improve your social life and well-being immeasurably - better than an extra hour of stair master ever could. You might also put…

I had a fight with my mom over my eating french toast (she thought it was too fattening to eat) and she told me that I was bigger than my then pregnant sister in law. The irony is that I was so hurt by her I put on another 40 pounds just to show her (negative feedback does not always spur change in the way you would expect…

A size is about 15-20 pounds... The other issue is that by the time most people decide to lose weight they are straining the clothes in their current "fat:" size and should probably have sized up already but vanity or whatever stops them, which means they already have that much more to lose before they can move down a size.

Next time take it to a tailor and get it taken in.

what's a cyclical ketogenic diet?

Yes! I used to have up to 60-70 ounces at times. It wasn't so much stopping diet coke but changing to caffeine free. It was by accident (i.e., I couldn't access diet coke for a week) but it made such a difference to my appetite. I have cut down on how much I drink by more than half. I hope to get to the point where I…

I think you need to go to a doctor not a personal trainer - issues with anxiety and insomnia can have to do with cortisol or thyroid. 1500-1800 calories is not terribly low and shouldn't be inducing those kind of symptoms.
