Thanks to all of you. ❤ it's definitely made me feel a bit better to hear all these ideas and the support. One day at a time!

I'm sooo bad at sticking to exercise, it makes me so miserable. T_T I know I should though. I was thinking about raising my calories, I'm just nervous that I might gain then! Worth a shot though.

I don't exercise so I don't account for any of those calories. For food it's generally measuring cups but I do have a food scale for things like almonds that I don't feel confident about with cups. It's been about 5 or 6 weeks since I've lost anything. :( considering I was losing 1 to 2 pounds previously it is very sudden.

I take regular pictures and measurements yes, and, maddeningly, even my measurements are exactly the same. I DID recently adjust down from 1600 to 1400, but often am in the 1200-1400 range every day. I kept losing a little while after doing this though. The biggest change I can see is that I just moved out onto my own for…

I'm 5'3'' and have already lost 50 pounds, but I just wanna tell you that it's very possible, even when it feels impossible. <3 Good luck!

Thank you so much everyone <3 its so much easier when I can see all the support here :)

Thanks so much everyone <3 its really encouraging to see all these comments.

Thanks so much guys <3

I have been measuring, yes, and I have put the pics side by side. I just guess I can't see it in myself, caaause everyone else I've shown them to seems to be able to see it.

You guys make me feel so much better ><

Yeah... it just seems like such a shame. I want to be all excited about 30 but this is getting in my way a little. At least my clothes are fitting way different and my measurements are going down.

I haven't stopped losing, which is good, it's just slowed down. And no, I very rarely drink alcohol and log it when I do. I'm not the partying type, I pretty much sit at home and study when I'm not at school. It probably is the fast food and the like, because while my diet wasn't healthy per se over the summer it was…

I am definitely guilty of the fast food, but how have I been inconsistent otherwise? As far as I know I've eaten very little that hasn't gone into my diary. If I'm doing something wrong I'd want to fix it.

I've actually tracked my calories daily for about three months now, I said I don't 'think' I've been eating more because I don't have access to a scale and never have. But it seems weird that I would be eating similar things without a scale the whole time and only now be eating more of it.

I've heard of that, it sounded sort of scary though! XD I'll give it a shot. It might not be so bad.

The most lovely face. :) So balanced.

Ah, thank you, this is all excellent. I do eat a lot of eggs, they are one of the main ways I get my protein. I think I'm just looking at it wrong. I thought the point of excersise was to burn even more calories, but the internet and all you people tell me it's more like icing on the cake that makes you more fit. ^^

So the calculator tells me that my BMR is 1787 and my TDEE is 2145. So I shouldn't be eating 1200 cals a day, but at LEAST 1787? Is that how this is supposed to work? Wouldn't I lose slower, or does my body think I'm dying at 1200 cals a day? I'm so hopeless at this lol

Hello! I'm 5'2, and my starting weight is around 230 pounds. My goal weight is around 150 for now, I'm not sure exactly where I want to be sitting at yet so if I get that far I can change my goal. :) Feel free to add! I love friends. :)

Ahhh okay, good. :) And I don't have a scale yet, which is why I need to use cups. I should get one though.

That's very true. I should look at doing that if I can.

I'm only 5'2'', quite small. And I know I should be eating whole foods, but I don't buy groceries and we have a very low budget to work with. My boyfriend and I only have about 700 a month for rent and food, and he's a pescatarian, so tuna is pretty much the only meat I can eat. I know you are totally 100% right, I just…

You guys are probably right. I just don't want to prevent myself from losing what I can. ><

Excellent taste, as drums are super fun to play!

Beautiful bone structure.

Thanks guys! I really should try to get out and swim, I love swimming and everyone says it's so useful! And I am trying to log well, but I'm new to it so it's gonna take a little adjustment. :)

I wouldn't bother walking (I can do that outside) but running makes my knees hurt, so I tend to avoid the treadmill. ><
