  • err weigh yourself according to what suits your personality. One way or the other is NOT superior, just becayse people are telling you to weigh once a week does not mean its the way to go. For many people weighing daily offers advantages such as keeping on top of the situation, providing peace of mind and motivating them…
  • Stop fretting, log it and move on. I would still eat a reasonably nutrutious meal today. New day tomorrow.

  • Am sure theres already lots of good advice. 1.Focus on developing yourself and being happy as well as confident. You hit the nail on the head when you idebtified your own self esteem. Its very important for you and it also comes in handy because it can influence the people you attract. 2. If someone comes along, before you…
  • Bit sure food is going to have an effect on depression. You might wnat to cut out alcohol and go for a healthy balanced diet. Exercise is more likely to have a beneficial impact.
  • You arent building muscle and what Dianne said. Just be patient and keep on exercising. Take one rest day a week.
  • Theres a cliche but its very true in that you need to listen to your body. Theres no point in training if it will set you back. Take another rest day and see if it feels better, it just sounds like DOMs but you need to be sure its not an injury. Reassess it tomorrow. If you need to exercise then do soemthing which uses…
  • Focus, patience and good planning. Breaking it down and taking it one day at a time makes it more manageable.
  • All you need to do is figure out how you are going to achieve a 1400 calorie daily deficit. Overly aggressive targets tend to come unstuck further down the line, but try it and see. You may manage it for a short while at the beginning as you lose waterweight. Good luck.
  • Why is it complex? Its what nora defined above. Those reasons differ from person to person, its not required you understand them.
  • I would think not everyone is strong. People use motivation, when they mean support. Encouragement is half way. The most effective motivation is by yourself with yourself. So agree. As for hunting MFP pals out or the need to grow your friends list then people have may different straegies and needs as to type and how many…
  • Tbh its eating more than you need and moving less that resulted in the weight gain. You just have to reverse that by eating less and moving more.
  • Dude dont sweat it you seem to have taken responsibility for it all. Id back you to get exactly where you wnat to be. if id have realised how straightforward it was id have addressed it years ago.
  • Too low and poor diet imo. try it but nutrution is importnat. Wheres all the fruit and veg. complex carbs? Proteingbar manufacturers will love it. Fat, fibre, vitamins, carbs?
  • I've thought back to the anger being annoyed angle and for me its a no. Being p'd off played no part. I might have been less than impressed, but thats different.
  • You hit the nail on the head trying to identify whats productive for you. Dont be too hard on yourself as beating yourself up is counterproductive. Acknowledge you have had a difficult time that youve found difficult to deal with and stressful. the vast majority would have reacted the way you did, so its really ok. Its…
  • Change your mindset. Cut the husband out of the equation and stop using him as an excuse, his progress or non progress is irrelevant. You really dont need him for your diet and hes a distraction. Focus on yourself and lose the weight for you. It then becomes a whole lot simpler. Learn how to lose weight. Buy some scales.…
  • Offering them the truth is good advice. Sometimes to move forward successfully then you need to understand the issues as they are. Taking responsibility for where you are is the first step to realising its up to you to do something about it. Its ironic you seem to know how it all works considering youve only just started…

  • This +100 take time to read them and increase your knowledge. Dont start without understanding and knowing what you are doing.
  • Ive a long history of them and used to have 2-3 a week. Lots of migraines are individual so what works for one person doesnt work for the next. Prevention is better thna cure so first look at identifying your trigger factors. They arent the same for everyone and then seek to control or avoid them. Diet is importnat to…
  • Then take a break and stop putting yourself under pressure if you cnat commit. Geting all defeatist and down on yourself wont help. If you arent ready, then you arent ready. Your mindset is not in the right place. Youll know when you are ready to commit.

  • You already said you werent measuring with a scale so you have no idea if thats the cause or not. Its the usual cause for people not losing. If you wnat to go down the starvation mode route then thats up to you, but consensus on these forums is its a myth. You need to look after your state of mind and avoid stress. Part of…
  • Take responsibility and make choices. It does sound like a series of excuses. Its not the end of the world being 20lbs over, but its a choice. Losing weight is straightforward, but you have to be disciplined or consistent at creating your deficit. Too tired to exercise? Is that something medical are you unwell or just…

  • One of the things you need to realise is whats possible, whats unlikely and whats not going to happen. Healthy and sustainable weight loss tends to be 1-2lb a week it depends on how well you stick to your new lifestyle, what you do, what you eat and how much you have to lose. Rates of loss are more in the beginning than…
  • No. You lose you dont lose. It you arent losing and its a big deal then eat less move more or be patient.Be responsible for what you eat. People stress themselves out when its not needed.
  • The beginning of your journey is just tweaks and finding the right level. Hiting a bump/illness early on requires you to know how to deal with it practcially and mentally. It will stand you in good stead and you might even lose your appetite. You cna still log your food, oversee your nutrituion and exercise some patience.…
  • I'm sorry that you feel this way and am sure you will get lots of sisterly report. Just a few points: 1. Ever considered your husband could be a jerk and not as worthwhile as you seem to think he is? He has let you down by being unfaithful, which is quite some betrayal to do to anyone in a relationship. 2. The weight issue…
  • Are you weighing and logging all your food with a scale? Your answers are. 1. You are eating more than you think. Get a food scale weight and log everything. 2. You are burning less than you think. Are you eating back exercise calories? 3. You have fixed an unsuitable calorie target 4. Its a fluctuation such as retaining…
