I started "dieting" almost one month ago and maintained 1200 calories throughout this time. I started off in the 200's so I lost 20 pounds within the first 2 and a half weeks, with this experience I would advise you NOT to eat 1200 a day! I thought I was satisfied but recently within the last week I've been getting the…

30? :)

I do! Started at 240 pounds 3 weeks ago, down to 218 right now.. I'm 5'4". Trying to lose 100 pounds total, and be 140 by December of this year.. Anyone with similar goals please feel free to add me!

First off, don't feel bad at all! It sounds like you are having difficulty because you're trying to restrict yourself too much.. Although it's obviously not the best course of action, you can still eat crappy food and lose weight... I myself have been on 1200 calories for 3 weeks now, and I'm feeling fine. The thing that…

All of you guys are absolutely incredible! hope I am able to add to this post in a couple of months, looking to lose 100 pounds also!

that is AWESOME! congratz <3

Mainly on here for the success stories to keep me motivated :) also to track my BMI and eventually brag to everyone how I lost so much weight in my before and afters ;)

I'm sorry you're dealing with this :/ I'm actually in the opposite boat, my parents are very supportive of me in whatever I do, so naturally they are proud and willing to help in any way possible with my weight loss journey.. On the other hand, my husband is the one who isn't very supportive of me. When I first told him…

sent you a friend request girl! we are almost exactly in the same boat, I'm 20, 5'3 and my weight's been fluctuating between 230-250 for the past 3 years.. Even at this weight, I thought I was hot *kitten* and always judging all the "fat" people around me.. When I joined this site I found out my bmi was also at 41, eek!…

I got a scale almost 2 weeks into my weight loss journey and when I stepped on it I had lost over 10 pounds already! it felt so awesome and encouraging.. After that I was weighing myself everyday and although it kept going down a couple ounces each time, it also fluctuated by up to 3 pounds a day.. I found it was much more…

same! I went to the Chinese buffet for my dad's 50th birthday this past Friday, and everything was so yummy I had exactly what I would normally have, stuffed mushrooms, crab rangoons, etc.. just much less, walked out very satisfied after just 1 small plate as opposed to 2-3 large ones! you can eat what you want, just don't…

So funny you made this post! I tried Greek yogurt for the first time when I started my diet almost 2 weeks ago and I LOVE it! I got the light and fit caramel macchiato and the strawberry cheesecake and I was in heaven, and only 80 calories! Sad to say that my 2 year old ate about 7 out of 10 of them lol, but hey it was a…

this is awesome! my belly looks similar to yours and I'm so happy to see that your belly is flat in your after pic, it gives me a lot of hope! thanks for posting :)

Hey guys, just wanted to check in and let everyone know I am down to 223! feeling awesome, I have no doubt I will be able to get under 200 pounds by april! (my daughter's 3rd birthday) which is my first goal :) thanks for the motivation!

Hey Kagev, I have your message saved but I was feeling a little down because I feel like I'm stuffing my face still, even with my deficit.. It may sound odd but I like to feel hungry because it makes me feel like the fat is burning! lol and thanks deksgrl, I feel a little better now! I should be more appreciative that I'm…

thank you for the response, I was hoping that is the case! I will update tomorrow evening and let you know if I had lost any weight yet, really hoping so :)

you look awesome! sent you a message (:

you look absolutely incredible! congratulations on your hard work and success :) can you let me know what your belly looked like before? was it "saggy" or firm? ur stomach is so flat now and I'm hoping a flat stomach is attainable in my future! wonderful job <3

Hey girls, i'm 20 and roughly 240 pounds.. It's embarrassing of course but we're all here to lose weight so I feel ok posting that! I'm looking get to 170 by November (my 21st birthday) and eventually 140.. the smallest I've ever been was 180, I've always been big and i'm ready to change that :) My biggest concern with…

thank you all so much for your kind words and great advice! it really means the world to me and is making this process much easier just by hearing about others' experiences and success! All of you women and men are gorgeous and we will all meet our goal weight one way or another! I will definitely be looking into the…

sounds awesome Foolofatook! I have done some research and recently realized I could be eating more, but as I said I am currently satisfied with this amount. once I lose some weight I will probably up my intake to closer to 1500 calories a day, just to slow down a little bit and make sure I can maintain my new weight! thank…

sounds awesome JardimGirl, I was hoping it was possible! lol and congrats on your weight loss! And @ Stephanie, I definitely plan on including exercise into my daily routine after a couple of months, I would just like to lose some weight first as my primary goal, and then I will work on shaping my body the way I'd like it…

thank you for the advice ladies :) Acogg, I have noticed that I am actually feeling very content on 1200 calories, even from day 1.. it was strange to me but I'm not complaining lol. I think my problem my whole life was cravings, not hunger... I am considering upping the calories to between 1200 and 1500 daily depending on…

that sounds awesome Cheryl! I am looking to lose around 80 pounds so it's great to hear that you personally know someone who was able to accomplish this on 1200 calories :) I plan on keeping it up for the remainder of the year, hitting my one week mark on Monday. I know it hasn't been too long but I've never stuck to a…

After reading all the comments, can anyone who lost between 50-70 pounds tell me the effect it had on them? I'm more concerned with whether they will become more saggy or perk up more, or stay the same in that aspect.. thank you
