Its human to have fears, I chuck it down to listening to my body and stop myself from awfulizing the situation, whenever I feel unmotivated to work out. I walk 10miles daily, but sometimes I miss a day or two. I know what you mean, I have slipped down the slippery slope before, and used to worry when I am not motivated to…

On paper its perfect protein but meehn that stuff causes me massive cravings, that almost wrecked all my efforts. Any way my body is weird like that..opposite effect that it has on other normal homosapiens that.

brevity lol

For SOME people, sugar causes hyperinsulinism, which in turn causes their appetite to get out of control, thus setting them up for a cycle of over eating resulting in weight gain. Sugar will make you fat in extremely small quantities if your body reacts to it by flooding your system with insulin.

If the dreaded hunger episodes happen at the same time of day schedule an activity to distract you from it. Since you already walk maybe schedule your walks for when you feel hunger. re-evaluate your eating could you maybe be lacking something How is your protein? I mean real meat protein non of those powder/liquid gizmos…

Sugar is sugar is sugar the body knows it all as glucose whether from fruit or candy bar, once its carbohydrate the body knows it as Glucose.

What your friend said is very true. but once it starts coming off, its very encouraging and spurs you on to keep the success up. I used to drive over a thousand miles a week, it was very challenging but in the end, careful planning made it very easy for the food part the exercise was very hard to fit in.

The operative word is LOWER I just found it curious that without knowing the exact value of what I eat, you would pronounce it lacking in both calories and other important values. Sometimes its good to actually comprehend a post before hitting the reply button. Sometimes when people do low carb, as evidenced in low carb…

My biggest obstacle is over confidence. I have lost 84lbs since July 1st 2013. I still have another 18lbs to lose to get to my goal weight of 125lbs Most of the weight lost was before February this year. My problem is that now that I can fit into smaller clothes, I no longer feel bad about my size, and keep straying away…

How is it calorie deficient? (meaning unhealthy right?) what makes it weird? I truly would love to know Thanks by the time Ive had dinner I would have had 1500cals.

I have been able to lose 84lbs in 9months thanks to lower carb way of eating. I finally figured out that the conventional party line, did not work for my body. Carbs make me ravenous, its as simple as that. Some people cant handle carbs, and I am one of those. I never exceed 60g of carbs a day, And they come from leafy…

Thanks a lot. I will now know to read through all the topics then. That was helpful. Re walking..I have just finished the first of my twice daily 4.7mile walk. I was aching from the almost 25miles I clocked for Sat & Sun combined walk miles.

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else. How does posting to this challenge thing work? Do folks just start topics under the general thread, or post their random posts under the main thread, which in this case is "Walk away the lbs 6 week challenge" I am thoroughly confused. I guess it shows though I have been a…

hehehe...broccoli is only 50p (335g size but usually works out at 500g or more) both in Asda and Tesco. loads of frozen veg are £1 or less, and frozen veg is usually more nutritious unless grown locally, since most of the so called fresh produce in the aisles has been travelling for days, before being collected in a…

I started this iteration of my weight loss journey on the 1st of July 2013. (I have been a yo-yo dieter all my life hopefully this is my last time gaining and losing) My weight was 227lbs My current weight is 143lbs I want to be between 130-125lbs I am a prolific walker, It is the only exercise I do, however my problem is…

I am a prolific walker, my problem is that since Feb I have lost the same 5lbs so many times because of my eating. Just this past week, I decided to hunker down and get to goal once and for all. This challenge is indeed what I need. I walk 9.4miles daily. I walkcommute 4.7miles to work and when I get home I do it again…

Great Post. I live in the UK and being creative, with where I do my shopping has meant regularly eating stuff I would not have considered as affordable as often as I can have them now. This is because I go to places that sell them cheap like freezer shops in markets where fresh caught sea food sells for 20% or less of the…

Self esteem is overrated. Like Nike will say.."Just Do It" believe me the great self esteem will follow. There is a billion dollar industry out there, for people who need to lose weight. You, little you...yep "little" you, single handedly with MFP, slayed the big big dragon of morbid obesity. My dear, its nothing to be…

What other so called FACTS do you need. A considerably underweight woman is panicking, about gaining weight from a SINGLE episode of what she considers overeating, and you choose not to see the red flags. This is serious pandering on your part, and I fail to see why

Bless you. I was concerned by the panicked tone of that post. You hit the nail on the head. 105lbs at 5'5" is already underweight anyway. the concern should not be weight gain at this point.

You have to do what works for you. The best plan is useless if its not implemented. Start and see what best works for you. Nothing is written on stone. If you find that the 30min run in the morning works best, it becomes THE plan. Conversely if you find that you are more motivated to go after work then you change plans and…

Your Plan looks great. You are having balanced meals and your activity level is great. Of course it will work. Well done and all the best.

I thought the same thing too, when I saw that 'another' after the heart attack, but did not have the courage to say it as it is.

Nope They eat sugar because that is how they are socialized in the developed world I am African and grew up in Africa, most of my friends growing up, hated sugar and could not tolerate it in their food.( to a lot of them, it made them feel sick and want to throw up) Being from a more "westernized" family, and my mother…

Well done...beautiful woman you are.:flowerforyou: You have done so well. all that hard work has been worth the effort. You are so pretty, and it appears you have a good heart too. You look great. you :smokin: hot ...babe :wink: I bet you have inspired so many people with your dazzling transformation. You've gone from…

I see you got the Chinese 'treatment' too. I went to Shantao and they would congregate and and stare, some would point. I had never seen a thing like that before. Even in supposedly professional settings, I was not spared the stares...I still shudder when I think of that experience. A really toxic colleague once offered me…

I could have written this post word for word bar a few details. I have lost over 80lbs since the 1st of July 2013. 4 days a week, I walk almost 10miles too and the rest of the week I try to add another 5miles to my distance..bringing me to 15 miles each of the other 3 days of the week. I find it totally effortless and…

I will be 53yrs old in Nov I am 5'1" (gosh I used to be 5'2") fancy losing a whole inch with age.:grumble: ..never mind I still love me as I am:bigsmile: On the 1st of July 2013 when I started I weighed 227lbs. I am now 143lbs. This is the easiest I have found weight loss....I found what worked for me. simply put it is…

I'm 5' 2" been here since "only God knows" I am currently 143lbs would love to be 125lbs, however I am fitting into UK sizes 8 -12 (US sizes 4-8) clothes Ideally, I would love to lose more, another 10-15lb. but I find that in the main, it's not keeping me up at night. add me please Thanks

I think the best workout for one, is the one that they can do. Its no use believing that a workout at a certain time of day is best, if one has neither the time, nor the inclination to do it at that particular time. Any workout that I have to do before 7am is doomed to fail. I am not a morning person. I have a hard time…
