I agree with what I think you are trying to say, stick to estabished methods. Although BMI is a very crude measure really, it does not take into account body composition or weight distribution. Waist to hip ratio is a very easy and effective tool that assess if you have an unhealthy fat distribution around you waist. I…

I'm the same, I know its silly but some times it feels like we try so hard and don't get the results we deserve. Then other weeks are easier. The bigger picture is we have come so far and we will keep going until you get there. Days like these are part of the challenge. Have you taken measurements?! They seem to go down…

Definately. I think the same for nutritional advice. There are too many people on here encouraging others to dangerously low amounts. They might have good intentions, but they often make it worse by giving ignorant opinions not based in facts! Get advice from people that know what they are talking about and only take the…

For those that don't eat exercise calories, if you burn 1200 calories and only eat 1200 calories what are you feeding your brain and vital organs?! You body requires food in order to function. Isn't it better to loose weight slowly and not damage your health doing it?! We are all here to loose weight but do it the right…

I'm exactly the same. I've lost a total of 3 inches from my waist and 4 from my hips but I weigh the same. I do a fair amount of exercise. I'm hoping that the weight will come off, but I am just happy to see a difference in my body. Good luck!! You'll get there and just remember you're getting fitter!!

I agree. Avocados contain monounsaturated fats that help reduce cholesterol, and are an excelent source of potassium and vitamin K. Fruit may contain sugars but they also contain vitamin C and fibre. They are thought to help protect against Alzheimers, some forms of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Avoid processed and…

I agree totoally! It's all about being healthy in the long term :-)

The debate should not be if starving your self will make you loose weight, of course it will, but you will also be doing long term permanent damage to your body. The starvation mode theory is about the grey area between actual starvation and normal weight loss. If you put your body under stress your body will defend itself…

Welcome and good luck!! You can do it, just take it one day at a time and make sure you forcive yourself any mistakes. It is a long road, but we can do it together. Add me!!

I was on 120-80 mg /day at the beginning. I think they usually prescribe a lower dose for anxiety. When my dose was down to 40-60mg /day I was able to loose the weight but it was a bit harder than usual. I have spoken to people that didn't put on weight too! So you might not! i'm sorry to hear you suffered with anorexia,…

Hey H! One of the reasons I want to loose weight is becasue I would love to be able to bare my stomach in my first bellydance performance. I started classes last November and absolutely love it! It has made me so much more aware of my body. Looking at yourself in a mirror while you perform is a great oportunity to see…
