I haven't been getting enough carbs, so that must be it. Thanks! Nope, I'm a man so no PMSING. :D

1) Drink 12 cups of water per day 2) Log all food and drinks accurately 3) No SODA or sugar/fizzy drinks (empty calories) 4) Meditate once per day for approx 15 minutes 5) Walk 5 miles every day

Drink plenty of water. Log your calories and food and don't cheat or lie about it. Walk, exercise just move! :-)

I'm "fat" and am losing weight, however I make a salary only 2-3 percent of the popular in the U.S makes. Am I poor? Far far from it.

Dieting sums up calories and exercise in my opinion. A diet gives it bad vibe, if you know what I mean. You're not "dieting", you're just exercising and watching what you eat. People who are maintaining their goal weight are doing exactly what us people trying to lose weight are doing, which is watching what we eat and…

Whichever works best for you. However do know that weighing yourself everyday could affect your motivation. Water weight and other factors could skew your results. I say every 1-2 weeks. If you have a scale that calculates it into a graph, go for it.

I can relate. I will exercise, eat healthy for 3 days and then binge and eat something I will later regret. However, it isn't the end of the world. We are human and are not perfect. Just get back on the wagon and continue. Time and pressure will move mountains. Don't let a few bad decisions stop you from getting to where…

Drink plenty of water. It is fuel for fat burning. Also, 500 calories a day isn't going to help you. You will get burned out, plus it isn't healthy. Last but not least, you won't lose weight on 500 for a prolong period of time. You are much better off consuming about 1500 calories (give or take depending on weight) and do…

I am a business mogul who runs and operates a large trucking company. It's in the family. Does this define me as a geek?

Not into guys, but I love beautiful women!

You sound exactly like me. I just ate half a bag of hot cheetos. Okay... I screwed up... move on and don't let it make you quit. Got to stay on the track in order to get to the destination. ;)

I'm the same way! Have you tried using less milk for your coffee? I actually put ice in my coffee with a little milk. I also recommend green tea. Having a little milk in your coffee is better than having a big liter of soda persay. Work it into your calories and diet and you'll be fine. This is just my .02 cents worth. :-)

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this post. I've learned a lot and appreciate the advice and feedback. Let's lose this weight together! Yeaaaaaah! :)

I have the same issue with motivation. But when you get up to go exercise and are in pain from doing so, realize no pain no gain. You will look so much better, you'll feel great and be able to live healthy. Time and pressure moves mountains.

Great job! You're looking great man! I just started and will eventually post pictures of my progress. Great work man, keep it up!

Great job! You look fantastic!

I ate well over my sugar and fat, but still remain below calories.. I also went and excercised.. is this bad?

Try to have smaller meals in the day and then one big one (within your calories and diet) at night. Just keep thinking how great you'll be and look if you keep doing it. Time and pressure moves mountains.
