How do I know when my body is in starvation mode?
Hi, so I've been pretty successful so far.... lost about 20 pounds (but I still have at least 40 to go). My exercise plan was pretty simple, 6-7 days a week 45 minutes of swimming (real swimming not just relaxing in shallow water). But the last few weeks my school schedule prevents me from going during the day when the…

1 year anniversary
Hi, so today is the exact day on which I started my weight loss and I wanted to share my results. I'm not going to write any long stories (because as I figured out I'm not good at it) I'll just post some pictures and you be the judge. I'm still not finished and I already have new goals so hopefully I will meet them so I…

Getting weaker...
Hi. My diet/exercise has been going great for the past 9 months and I have lost weight steadily. During summer I started lifting in addition to swimming (and sometimes running). And I gained visible amounts of muscle (it's not enough to call myself even remotely muscular but enough to be noticeable). Of course I was in the…

Weight goal achieved
So this morning I drag myself to the scale awaiting a horrible number (after a friday-night party and 2 days spent pretty much @ home) and yet I'm surprised to find out that I have basically achieved my goal. I have already set it to another one because I'm not really happy with the results and will definitely continue to…

flappy gut...
So, as of this morning I'm pretty much on my second weight goal of my weight loss journey and yet I'm still not completely happy. Mostly with my gut. I noticed it yesterday while doing pushups that it hang like a disgusting fat filled ballon. I'm starting to loose a bit of patience here because on some occasions I can feel…

Finally healthy but far from quitting (pics)

So to make it short.... 7 months ago - 112kg (246 pounds) today - 83 kg (182 pounds) The past few weeks have been amazing so I'm just…

NSV
Living your whole life as a "fatso" doesn't do too much for your confidence. But when 3 out of 3 of your best friends, one of which is a hot girl tell you that you are starting to look good I think that's a NSV as good as it can be.

me, 50 pounds later [pics inside]
So lately my life has been upside down, my finals not really going the way I hoped, my things being stolen. I know that it doesn't sound great but other than my laptop it was just clothing. Probably the only positive thing about that is that I had to go buy new things and found out that I went from nearly 2XL shirts to a…

Change goals?
Hey everyone. So I started january 12th and I've been able to to lose 40 pounds (18kg) with ease and It wasn't particularly hard for me to stay away from sweets or overeating but lately 1500 calories just doesn't seem to be enough for me and I'm not really hungry but I still have cravings and most of the time I end up over…

How to count my calories?
Howdy, I have a weird question wich will probably sound stupid but you don't know until you ask. :) So I'm about to go jogging and it's nearly midnight where I'm from. I will definitely run until "tomorrow" and I would like to know how I should log my exercise calories? :D I know it's ridiculous but should I count it as an…

Half way there (pics)
So I posted about a month ago that I was 20 pounds down and had 40 pounds to go. I thought that my next post will be "40 pounds down, 20 to go" but today I was feeling kinda down that there's not much change the last few weeks (although my friends and family finally noticed) so I looked over the photos I take every week…

20 pounds down.... another 40 to go...
Hey everyone, so I'm writing this in a hurry before class and before I change my mind about posting this, since I don't like putting pictures of me on a populated forum. I started 2 months ago (definitely not a new years resolution) and already managed to lose 24 pounds. My next goal is to be at BMI 30 by my birthday in…

Is 3 weeks enoguh to see a difference?
Hi, I know there are tons of topics like this but I still want to ask this in a new thread... I've started my diet and exercise "program" 3 weeks ago. I've been eating around 1800 - 1900 calories a day so that I don't feel hungry and so that I don't get my body into starvation mode. My weekly exercise program consists of 7…

Should I slow down?
Hey, I have a question regarding my dieting/workout. It's a bit longer but please I would really appreciate your help. I started because I was fed up with being friend-zoned by every single girl I met (+ I want to look better) so I looked around and found the MFP app for iPad and played with it just to see what it would…
