  • i like to keep it simple. calorie control. because when i want a snickers... I WANT SNICKERS!!! its like the game tetris... fit it in, make the numbers work! i lost 100 pounds in 11 months eating any foods i wanted, just limited my calories!
  • i was 246 pounds, size 18/20... i just wanted to drop in and encourage you to keep at it! the longer you maintain your new eating habits and routine, the easier it becomes, and poof, before you know it, you will be to your goal! good luck, all of you!!!
  • except for that then we miss everything from that person, and that kind of sucks, so i just ignore her slaughter pictures, and i can still function through the day just fine. im one of those wierd people who value the right of freedom in this country, to be able to eat as i please... as well as respect others rights to eat…
  • i had 101 pounds to lose. i lost it all in just under 1 year. for the first month, i lost about 3 pounds a week, then, my weight loss slowed down and then averaged a 2 pound loss per week. the bigger we start out, the easier to lose, but just know that IT WILL slow down!
  • i have one on my facebook that constantly posts bloody salughter pictures of animals ALL DAY LONG... i just ignore it... im not quite sure why these types of people feel they need to push thier morals or beliefs on others, especially since she is athiest, and i dont ever try to push my christian beliefs on her... or anyone…
  • thank you so much, thats so nice of you to say!
  • i make it a priority... like, brushing my teeth, feeding my kids, or using toilot paper.,.. just something that needs to be done, that cant be ignored :)
  • so its working for you? thats awesome!
  • thank you! maintenance is going really well for me! its been 3 months since i posted this, and i am maintaining a 101 pound loss! the way i found to work maintenance, that works very well for me, is to log 4 low calorie days per week, leaving fri, sat, and sun as non-logged, high calorie days... i have maintained at 145…
  • these posts are so silly to me. your not eating 1200 calories a day, because if you were, you would be losing. you are not in a defecit. if you were in a defecit, you would lose weight.
  • me, me, me! lol... didnt even have to give up my skittles! well, i exercised, but i kept it simple, ate at a deficit, didnt eliminate any foods!
  • if your not losing weight, your eating too many calories. you can THINK your eating at a deficit, but YOUR NOT.
  • not everyone has had issues with weight. if you never have weight issues, and you allow your body to guide you on eating, counting calories is not needed. for alot of us here, we count, because we need to learn how to eat like normal people... i have alot of friends who dont count calories... they have never had a need to…
  • no dont take a pill. find your proper calorie intake, and get some exercise. thats it. dont make it hard, dont deprive yourself of foods you like. enjoy your life, just moderate your intake and get moving!
  • yeah, me too. im satisfied when im full. not unbutton my pants and unzip my zipper at the restaurant table full, but just full, as in, i feel full, put the fork down...
  • im just thinking easy as in compared to us older people. he mentioned high school football, so im assuming he is younger and high school has been some time recent. i know losing weight now, compared to losing weight when i was a teen are two different things. when i was a teen, all i had to do was cough and i lost weight,…
  • I THINK IT WOULD COME OFF PRETTY EASY... being that you are young and healthy! (im assuming!) my little brother is on the o-line, so, he is pretty large and beefy to begin with... during the season, he trims down fairly fast, but off season, he packs on some weight... comes right back off as soon as training kicks off…
  • i took it years ago, and found myself calling 911 because i thought i was having a heart attack. in the er, they came to the conclusion that the speed pill caused my heart rate to sky rocket... never again...
  • just stay motivated, stay focused on what you want, and learn how to have self control. yes, you can have a donut, but not the whole dozen. no, you should not eat until you have to unbutton your pants, you need to learn to stop before that point...
  • early in the morning, late at night, while they are at aschool, while they are watching tv, when i cant sleep, take them with me... depending on how bad i want it, i can make time...
  • one of my daughters just cannot gain. she is in jr high and weighs about 70 pounds. her dr says she is very healthy, just has a fast metabolism. i started making her some high calorie smoothies, and she seems to be filling out lately. in a blender, i put 1 cup full fat milk, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 2 frozen bananas,…
  • i bet all you need is a good magazine, a phone with floppy bird installed, and 30 minutes to spend in the bathroom...
  • the entire post is silly. 1) being a vegetarian or vegan or whatever is more of an ethical / moral type of lifestyle. not a weight loss method. 2) you can eat nothing but fruit, and still gain weight, because it comes down to the amount of calories you are consuming. who ever told you to become a vegetarian without having…
  • so eat some bread! whats the problem with bread? i love bread. i eat bread, everyday! why are you not eating bread? my donuts are bread, i couldnt live without bread.
  • Know when to put the fork down. If you have to unbutton your pants at a restaurant, YOU HAVE OVER EATEN!
  • if you cant lose weight, your not eating at a deficit. simple as that. or... your one of the rare un lucky ones that has gone your entire life undiagnosed with a serious medical condition which may be hindering your ability to lose weight... but... my money is on the easy and most realistic cause... your not eating at a…
  • yeah, worked fine for me too, and i do measure / weigh / log EVERYTHING. ive been known to log 2 skittles, and my mfp friends have laughed about it, but i do. i also would bring my scale to restaurants with me at times. i logged every crumb that went in my mouth... i felt great, still was able to get my workouts completed…
  • they didnt have time in their lifespan to develop "those" diseases because they were already dying in theri 20's from other diseases... did "evil, processed" foods cause their life expectancy to be between the ages of 20-30??? ive already outlived the typical caveman, and i eat foods that are so evil i would make satan…
  • same advise for daily focus... take some good looks at your before pictures. all it takes is some before photos to put me into kick *kitten* weight loss mode...
