What does it mean "going ridiculously over."? Are you recording your food or just guessing? Weight loss can't be measured in 5 weeks, especially if you don't have data to analyze. If I can offer any suggestions, record everything you put in your mouth. Do it religiously. MFP has pretty extensive database to pick every food…

I think so. And it's not just being skinny. It's size 29 pants and cholesterol 135 and being able to run 10K without stopping....at the age of 52

People told me that they saw my initial weight loss in my face. I noticed it in my waist because the way my pants felt. If I learned anything from my 3 years/93 lb loss, is one thing - we can't control where we want to lose weight.

If I show you the rest of my face, you will fall in love. So, I better not.

I can no longer buy clothes at Costco.. All the pants/jeans sizes start at 32 and up. Sometimes 30, but I need 29 (down from size 38). And that's not all. At the department store I am having to buy clothes at the teen section. How embarrassing. I am constantly cold. It is a war zone over the thermostat in my house. I fly a…

Are you recording everything you eat? I'd like to see your food diary.

Yes, Road to Hana, Hawaii. Blast Have you ever helped out your twin by taking girl he just met on a date, because he was busy and couldn't make it? (I have :) )

Pretty smile

This!! Precisely my point. I lost 40LBS on 1500 calorie diet. After moving to raw fruits and veggies and increasing my calories to 2000 daily, I lost additional 50. Go figure!! :)

Really? Perhaps you should go back and read an original post before throwing out your comments. The original post was a plea to understand why she is not losing any weight with daily exercise and current diet. Perhaps you should read up on the benefits of the micronutrients and understand that 100 calories of cheetos and…

Hola peeps, I am 51 years old 5'9" SW 260 CW 163 GW - I don't care. I think I am there already. I changed my foods to mostly raw veggies and fruits. I eat meat on occasion, as some call it junk food. I consider myself a nutritarian. My energy level is amazing and I am at the gym most days of the week. I went from size 38…

While the caloric deficit is important for weight loss, it is also important what you eat. I peeked at your food diary. You are eating pretty good amounts of out-of-the-box foods, high in sodium and fat. 65g of fat per day is too much. Change what you eat - introduce greens, fruits. and reduce the fat intake and you will…

60 min elliptical. Precor 420. Everyday. I average 6 days per week.

Fantastic! Feels good, doesn't it? :)

Unfortunately you don't have a choice what part of the body you want to shrink in size. It is not in your control. If I can offer any word of advise, stick to a diet and exercise and eventually you will win.

Fantastic. One step at the time!

I think most important is you showing progress with weight. 10% is good progress. And yes, your bum does show it. :) Congrats!!

of course I would

Cheer up!! Life begins at 50. The fun part is still ahead of you. Here is an article - please read. http://www.burnthefat.com/loose_skin.html

I peeked at your diary. Not bad for the most part. Mine was similar during my weight loss program. I kept a low carb diet and eventually lost 50 pounds. But then weight loss stopped. I changed my food plan. Read up on the raw(plant based) foods. Low fat, limited my animal protein and replaced it with proteins from…

Love happy stories. You look fantastic. Just awesome!

Nutritarian. Plant-based diet. 260LB-163LBs in just about 2 years. Completed my first 10K 3 months ago at the age of 51

NO, these things don't work. The feeling of sweaty and compressed skin gives you a perception your waist is smaller. In reality it will be back to it's original state within minutes.

Good article that can explain your question: http://www.livestrong.com/article/546655-does-the-body-process-fruit-sugars-the-same-way-that-it-does-refined-sugar/

I was 50 when I did my first 5K. Last November I completed my 10K (77 minutes). I am thinking half marathon is my next stop.

Looks like you and I lost just about same amount of weight. Personally, I notiiced excess skin about a year into my weight loss. I did a lot of research. Bottom line - skin is your largest organ. You need to provide this organ with 3 things. 1-hydration, 2-nutrition, 3-build muscle. Hydration - supply your body with plenty…

Screw him. She deserves better. AND it will make her stronger than ever. Trying to make it work with a scum who had sex outside of marriage will never work, especially what he told her. He's done it once, he will do it again. Read AmyZ46's comment. That's the attitude, I love it.
