I can definitely see it in the stomach area. Good job!

Go to sleep.

A way to stay motivated is by looking at your body in the mirror. If you don't like what you see then start making some changes. That is my motivation. Every time I think 'okay i have lost a little weight, i can stop now' I just go and look at myself in the mirror and see if the body i have now is what i really want.

This happens to me all the time. I can relate so much. It's really just a mental thing that you have to overcome, but it's just so hard. It's just so hard to overcome those mental barriers and those habits that you have built up.

Get on the elliptical for 2 hours (120 minutes).

Height: 5'2 (not sure of my exact height, but it is definitely somewhere between 5'1 and 5'3 so I just say 5'2 to be safe) Weight: 202 Pounds Diet & Exercise: 1200 Calorie Diet if I do not exercise at all. When I exercise, I add those calories burned to what I am allowed to eat. So if I start out with 1200 calories and…

I am amazed. You deserve all of the praise in the world. However you did it, it is amazing.

I knew I could never live on just eating 1200 calories a day and that's one of the reasons I really started to exercise. If you burn 400 calories a day working out, then you can really eat 1600 calories a day and still have the same net amount as if you just ate 1200 and didn't work out. And you will still lose weight. I…

It really depends on the manner in which it is done. If someone is being outright mean about it, then they need to be called out because that's just rude and human beings should behave better. If someone is just being honest and saying you are morbidly obese and you need to lose weight, then that's just the truth and I…

The doctor was right. The way he put it was wrong, but I think the meaning was that being fat is something that can be changed, so if you're fat and you hate it, then why don't you try to change it. I don't think he meant it as, people that are fat love being fat, but just people that are fat have the ability to change…

I mean you would probably lose weight doing it in the short term because you would probably be ingesting fewer calories than normal if you were only drinking liquids, but you have to think about the fact that ingesting only liquids is probably not going to keep you very full while you're on this diet.

I'm listening to the Amazing Race. Boston Rob is a hilarious contestant.

Being 5'1 and 120 pounds puts you in a normal weight range for that height, so for the most part I would say don't worry about it too much. You're already at a healthy weight.

I don't even know if you'll be able to get through the day if you only net 200 calories. If you net 1200 calories, you will lose weight. If you net 200 calories, you probably won't even have enough energy to go about your life.

I think a lower calorie food is worth it if it still tastes good and is filling. If it's lower calorie, but it doesn't fill you up, then there is no point in eating it. In other words, there is no point in eating a 100 calorie snack that doesn't fill you up at all and doesn't taste good when you can eat half of a regular…

It's perfectly normal for you to be upset about this. It was an incredibly rude thing for them to do to you. But, I'm sure it was just stupid teenagers being stupid teenagers and these things happen. It's okay to cry about it and be upset about it and then you just have to move on from it and keep progressing!

That is incredible progress.

Amazing Job!!!

You can lose weight without exercise, you just have to eat less. Also, just keep in mind that although you will lose weight, you probably won't become any more 'physically fit'

With stuff like this, it's usually more mental than physically really. Half the time people aren't really all that hungry when they eat a lot. Sometimes they are just bored. So, I would say, work on the mental aspects of it.

You get criticized because that's just the way people are. lol. Ask any vegetarian or vegan if they are criticized and they will tell you yes as well. People will criticize you for being different no matter what. Welcome to earth.

I don't really have an entire genre that I hate, except maybe heavy metal. I like country music, but I really really dislike country music where they sing with very heavy southern accents. Just don't like the way it sounds.

You're probably losing the weight from all over your body so you can't really see. For example, if you lost 10 pounds just in your thighs, you would notice because you might go down an entire size in pants. But if you lost 10 pounds and it was spread out over your whole body (as in, you lost a little in the face, a little…

I find them inspiring simply because it's good to see what other people look like when they lose weight because it gives me some idea of what I might look like. Also, sometimes I feel like giving up, but then I see these incredible transformations and I'm inspired. Also, one of the main reasons I'm losing weight is to look…

I have the same problem. Usually when I get bored on the elliptical I just start reading a book, but it has to be something funny so that it keeps me upbeat.

I feel like i'm the exact opposite of OP. I find it really hard to cut back drastically on what I eat, so I make up for it by going on the elliptical for a longer amount of time. I find it so much easier to exercise more than to eat a lot less.

Yes, the guy was wrong for making a spreadsheet and sending it to his wife. In a marriage, he needs to learn to communicate better. These actions are incredibly childish and petty. It makes me kind of mad. The husband is so wrong for doing this. At the same time, the wife is wrong for withholding sex from her husband for…

Generally I get on the elliptical for 65 minutes and then get on the bike for 10 minutes or I do the C25K(running) for 30 minutes and then the elliptical for 35 minutes and the bike for 10 minutes Either way, I generally do about 70-90 minutes of cardio at the gym every day or, from time to time, I go on a long walk to…

I'm planning on buying some makeup once I reach my halfway point. I'm also planning on getting new clothes at the end of the summer after I have lost more weight.
