Please, count me in!! I need it badly. I have risen to over 400, well, now, after a week, back to 395. Ready to do this in 2019. Please, anyone to help? I need some friends and support. Hit me up, I am moving on with this. I can also be a great listener and motivator. Name is David, by the way.

Any loose skin issues? I am concerned about it, but I would rather have that to worry about later when i get this weight off.

Awesomely awesome! Can you add me, I could use the motivation

The biggest for me: AIRPLANE SEATS! Then, a speedo, hahaha. Kidding

Wow, so many. My briefs were cutting into my sides, my belt was gouging my gut, my 4X shirts were too snug, etc etc.

Correction, "Eat any foods under your calorie goal", not just healthy. Although healthy is more preferable.

In a nutshell, this is the science.

And sodium is the devil, and fat is wicked, and don't eat red meat, it's instant death. Screw all that stuff, I will eat it all. I just log and stay under and so far that works just fine. Moderation is key. Again, moderation. If you eat 10 pounds of sugar, it is you that have the evil craving, it's not sugars fault.

Log completely honestly and include every little morsel. Love yourself first and foremost. Do this for you!! Drink lots and lots of water daily. Measure, weigh your food. You might be surprised. Never give up. If you get stuck, press on!! Get a good core group of friends to talk to and motivate each other. It really helps.…

I was skinny up until 21 years old. Then the weight gradually built up over the years. I do feel somewhat predestined from my mom's side, as she was heavy all her life.

Was it also God's plan for a man to become a woman? lol, and that pink hair was just what he needed!

I wish there was a LIKE button on here!!

I like this response. We are what we are, no apologies.

Gee, from a man's perspective, one who understands, I feel you on this (no pun intended). What man would keep losing weight if his ying yang got smaller? My mom always complained about losing weight and breast size. But it was a trade off she chose to live with. Unfortunately this is how you ladies are put together. If…

Thanks so much for the replies and calculations. This helps me to understand a lot and not feel so all alone in it. Someone poo pooed my 9000 tally, but I challenge you to prove me wrong. I would easily polish off a half gallon of ice cream in a night, after eating a while pizza and chips with a whole tub of dip. This was…

According to my calculations, at lightly active, you should be eating around 1900 calories daily to lose 2 lb per week. Sometimes if you are eating too light your weight loss will stall. I would also quit the diet pill, but I am not a doctor. Just my opinion. You can do this with no artificial help.

Hi Lovely, add me if you like, I am very active and supportive. I have around 140 pounds to go and have already lost 36. I am motivated and take this thing very seriously.

Every move you make constitutes burned calories. I guess even if you just lay there, lol.

First I want to say I appreciate how you follow up on your post, answering and commenting. Most just post and never really go back and check it or comment. So, I will open up to you. It all comes down to one day I had been hanging my hat on surgery. It seemed any easy fix so I would do it. All the other easy fixes never…

I want it straight and to the point! I may not like it, and it may even tick me off, but I value honesty and straight talk.

DO NOT EAT SWEETS AND JUNK FOOD!! To excess. Use moderation in all your meals and snacks. Do not go over your daily goal and you will lose. My only mistakes with "goodies" (as some like to call them) has been not logging or measuring them correctly, or over indulging. You want ice cream at the end of the day, just save…

Most prepared food like that is high in sodium, which will cause you to retain water. Make sure you are drinking a lot of water to flush your system. We also don't know what else you are eating in between times, what weight you are trying to lose, etc. Take a long look at those meals you are getting and consider your…

I have researched and found that almonds give you the most bang for the buck. They are a little on the high calorie side, but worth it for a snack. Sardines are good and turkey too.

Here's what my doctor gave me to boost my testosterone recently, because I asked: LOSE WEIGHT!! He said the best way to remedy those problems is losing the gut. I am being serious about this. I also researched it and it is confirmed. If you are obese, you mojo is low. But it can come back to strength with weight loss and…

Eat in moderation, make your daily goal, burn calories and shoot for next Christmas. It will be more worth it than torturing yourself. I will never condone such a diet. Besides, Christmas is about more than the pants you are able to wear.

I refuse to diet. I am on a lifelong healthy, versatile, moderating eating plan. I will never diet again.

No thanks, doesn't work and isn't healthy. If your diet has a name, it's a fad and it sucks. If it restricts certain food groups or tells you not to exercise, no thanks.

THIS

Not to minimize it, but you only have 6 lbs to go, not a great amount. Try eating a bit more and shake things up. Surely the test will show you where you stand and not set you back. Try eating 1500 weekly and exercise and see what happens. 1200 sounds pretty low to me, AND you say you eat below even that. You should be at…

Simple and point blank: Fad diets do not work! Oh, but poster, I lost 17 pounds in 3 days. How'd that work out for you? I uhh, gained it all back and then some, but that was my fault for not continuing on their plan. If your diet has a name, it's a fad and it sucks. If you have to exchange this group of food for that, take…
