Do you mean eating 1200 and burning 1500 so you're netting at -300? Then YES, your skin will probably sag and eating that little and exercising so much is dangerous, because you aren't even eating to give If you mean netting at 1200 then it could be ok, it is the accepted minimum around here but I'm no expert. Just make…

Hi Paul :) I'm kinda new too, but I found that I really love this site! I have two athlete soccer playing brothers and like you feel like I know what I have to do but never stick to it and always plan to start tomorrow or Monday. This time it will work, for all of us! :)

Thanks to all of you for your answers. As I said, I wasn't sure how long this rapid loss was normal/safe. I'm so glad I found MFP!

Thank you, I can't wait for other people to notice :laugh: I guess I'm just really concerned about doing this the right and healthy way. I wasn't sure how long the initial "shock" period should last. I will keep going like this and in a week or two I will re-evaluate :) Oh, and congratulations all of you on your progress!

I know how you feel, I have an event that's actually in October 2012, but I really want to shock them! For me it helps to imagine their responses and act it out in my head a bit. If you visualize yourself thin and imagine how good it feels it should kick you into gear. Also, the first loss really helps to motivate so stick…

I'm around 304 now and I have an old bike that my parents gave me maybe 10 years ago. Last summer I had it spruced up and bought a new seat/saddle for it, the old one was so tiny it hurt. I don't think you're too heavy for a bike, but the standard seat/saddle may be too little or narrow for you. Just try it out and see how…

Try to eat enough protein for dinner as that should keep you full for longer. Also, veggies are quite filling but not calorie heavy so you can add a salad to your dinner to fill you up. Sometimes for me it helps to have a drink of water or if I'm craving sugar I have a Pepsi Max :) Just start small, I find that I do better…

Hello :) I have also put on about 40kg in 4 years, but more before that, so we have a similar amount to lose. I know the feeling that your goal weight is so far away that you can't motivate yourself to start. But hey, you signed up, didn't you? :) It's the first step towards being healthier. I've only been here a week and…

I'm also worried about that since I'm at 308 and have about 143 to lose! A quick google search showed me that the other replies are good: Lose the weight slowly, drink plenty of water, do resistance training. Also moisturize day and night! I have to start doing that as I have very dry skin and really don't want to end up…

The best way to make up for a bad yesterday is to make today good. Eat your calories, but just make sure they are good calories. Eat healthy, drink your 8 cups of water and try to get some excercise done. Then eat your healthy excercise calories :) Don't let one "mistake" get you down. Watch your sodium intake from here on…

Just trying to bump my own thread :) looking for friends for the journey!

Hi :) I would like to join your group! I'm 22yrs old and from Iceland. We use kg here but according to a converter I have about 143 lbs to lose. I've gained this weight over the last 5-7 years. I used to play team handball, have two very fit soccer player older brothers. I've always known how to lose the weight, I just…

Hi :) I just started using MFP on Monday. Also have a long road to go, but we can do it :)
