It is possible to lose weight fast, through a crash diet. I lost 20 pounds once, over a period of 9 weeks, and lost most of it in the first 6 weeks. It was a low-carb, almost no-carb diet. No vegetables at all during the first two weeks. I also started losing hair and even ended up in hospital with stroke-like Symptoms at…

I do not like my eggs boiled, but I am a fan of the Tupperware Omelette party, to cook omelettes in the microwave oven. I don't burn them, no oil or butter needed, and it is non-stick. Downside: it is quite small. Cooking an egg to perfection is an art!

well, you do have a superpower. My wishpower usually wins from my willpower... And as to the compliments that are hidden in these comments. I guess the people in your environment are still getting used to your new size. If they visualise you, they might still see you as you were. When you meet, they get startled. You…

never mind the client, have you talked to the people at the gym about your concerns on your progress? They have witnessed you in the past 5 months, and that's what they are there for!

Probably a bit redundand by now, but here is my contribution. The item hit our evening's news yesterday. Apparantly, this is meant to keep your belly fat in check, which is the most dangerous fat in the body. Harder to lose than the subdural fat (probably inventing words here, but it sounds good), and the way to beat it is…

well, not easy, obviously

Amazing, congratulations! I discovered today that I am still at the weight I was on January 6th. A bit lf a waist of the last 8 months. Do you have any tips on hula hooping? I have one, used ot love it as a kid, but now it is mostly ornamental, because I can make no more than 5 rotations till it falls down. But I am sure…

I ask the butcher how long it keeps, whether I can still freeze the meat, etc... and trust their advice. Usually they tell me to proces of freeze the minced meat immediately.

ok, as the US virtually rules the world, and you are governed by very smart alien insects, could you please ask them, or Lay's, to make a negative-calorie version of chips? Preferably paprika flavour. The rest of the world will thank you.

I made a meal this week that I really savoured, and light in calories: - oven-baked potatoes with rosemary and seesalt (skimped on the olive oil for the calories, but they came out a bit dry) - pangasius fish fillet with a sjalot and chives cream sauce - stir fried sea lavender edit: just deleted a comment on French…

I cannot understand what you are going through (fortunately for me), but do please trust the people that are there to help you, open up to them, and follow their instructions, although your inner demons are telling you not to. And yes, grow strong for your daughter, because she will need you, not only now, but definitely…

According to MFP, my maintenance level is at 1650 kcal, so I am here for the long run... First set at 1200 kcal, no longer starving at 1300 kcal, so that is what I aim for. Slowly, very slowly, losing the weight. I am for the moment searching for an alternative to pasta. I love it, but it is so expensive calorie-wise.

I too believe that something is wrong, and nobody here will be able to help you. Get a doctor's appointment today. As to the hunger, I guess you should address that too. Don't start binging though.

I am not a great water drinker eigher, not that I loath water, I just forget or don't feel like drinking. I had kidney problems a few times already, and yes, drinking lots of water is the key. The key for me is to always drink water by the half liter (two cups I believe), all at once, as a chore. That way, I only need to…

probably only when you eat a container of each flavour in one sitting...

it is beautiful. A great ornament, if it does not work. As previous entry said, weigh a closed packet of butter or something, and try it out.

Good luck on your journey, I think that taking a break from all the seductions is a good decision. If you log all those, you will be amazed at your calorie-intake, just take a look at my past weekend (or not) Though I understand you hurting about your friend's reaction, I also understand hers. She will simply miss you.…

Hi, not sure whether this helps, but could it also be that you do not get enough sleep? Though my life (from September till June) is a busy one, and ideally, to fit everything in, I should sleep no more than 5 to 6 hours, I know that my body wants to sleep closer to 8 hours. If I don't, I do eat a lot more. The only way to…

Fanny, I am 5ft2 as well and you are actually at my goal weigth. I attained it 2 years ago, and it was the weight when people (apart from each other), were starting to show concern about my weight loss. However, even at that weight, I was still showing a belly. And that was true, even in my twenties, before having kids,…

no, love my FB, no negative people on mine, but I only friend people who are real-life friends.

Hometrainer. It's placed in the bedroom, facing the television. It satisfies my inner couch potato, and keeps me reasonably fit. And for long stretches of time, it has proved to be a very artsy clothes hanger.

100% respect for you to have your Mam living in your house. I could not do that. In-laws would be very welcome to though. Your house, your rules. You need to make a huge board, with the rules written on them, in very attractive colours, and hang on the kitchen wall. Then set up a rewarding system, with stickers for each…

fantastic !

This will come off again soon. I now believe it is ok to treat yourself once in a while. As long as those meals do not become a habit. You enjoyed it, great. Now get back to your healthy routine and you will probably lose the 4 lbs in a couple of days.

I felt like that only two weeks in. I am now on my fifth week, and on a totally different plan. Five weeks ago, I started eating 100% healthy, 1200 kcal (I am short, and not too much overweight), and working out daily. That is not me. I lasted two weeks. Now I do what I always do, just eat less of it, upped my kcal to…

Congratulations !! For a second there, I thought you were going to marry Brad Pit. So that would have been the reason for them postponing their wedding.... Good luck on your mission!

please give me make and model of that Australian scale, I will order one online now!

have you been logging since July 5th? As a fellow-busymom, looking back, that should have been my first step. I started (again), 21st of July, dived in headfirst, as usual: with gruelling workouts every day, and a 100% healthy mealplan. I lasted 2 weeks, as usual. Still, I stuck to the logging. Now I am going to slowly…

Before, I used food to balance out the stress factor in my life, after each encounter, I bought an XL bag of crisps and just pushed it down, not even tasting or enjoying much. Now four weeks in and finding alternatives is hard. Probably a lot of people are like me: food to deal with emotions, and when the food leaves, the…
