This is causing problems with my friends
I was supposed to go out to dinner with a friend tomorrow, and we had a restaurant planned where the nutrition information is available online, so I can get exact calorie counts. However, as always, she now wants to change and go to a Thai place. I don't really care for Thai/Chinese food (I ate way too much of it in my…

Weight loss stopped...what is wrong?
I never wanted to do one of these posts...I'm just confused. Week 1, ate an average of 1700 calories, dropped 5lbs. Week 2, ate an average of 1700 calories, dropped 4lbs. Week 3, ate an average of 1700 calories...nothing. Week 4, ate an average of 1700 calories...gained 1/2lb. I was expecting a slow down of weight loss for…

What has been your proudest moment
on your weight loss journey? I decided to bite the bullet and go to a super advanced hip hop class, and I struggled the first few weeks but two weeks ago I finally nailed it! I felt on top of the world, like, if I could do that then I could do anything. Now I'm putting it to the test and giving up starbucks, so if I…

Your body after weight loss
Hey guys, I came across this article today. http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/11/what-no-one-tells-you-about-dramatic-weight-loss.html Mostly, I'm looking at this sentence: "...bodies that have lost 50-plus pounds simply don't look like bodies that have maintained a steady weight since reaching adulthood." Now, I'm fortunate in…

Cambridge Weight Plan Question
Hi, I have a question to anyone who has done this diet/follows this diet - I'm looking at the 1200 calorie a day diet to do for a few weeks as a kick starter. But do you think it's worth the money, or is it only really worth it at the earlier stages when you're relying on the shakes for your 'sole source'? In the later…

George Forman Grill!
I was watching the Biggest Loser from last season, and I saw one of the guys had got himself a mini grill so that he can grill healthy foods when he's travelling. I had never thought of that before - so I ordered a small, two portion one! This means I can grill chicken and fish for lunch, and along with those microwaveable…

Having a weak moment
I just really want to sit and eat a big juicy burger and fries...with a coke. :( I've been doing so well, I'm just preoccupied with my fast food frenemy today.

Lunchtime Workout Suggestions!
Hey Y'all! This week I've lost 7lbs! I'm super excited about that, and although I can tell a lot of that has come off my legs, only 0.5ins has come off my hips - no change in chest or waist. So I'm getting worried that I've lost muscle, which is not good! I've haven't lifted in a while to be honest, and I want to change…

At what point can your weight kill you?
Lately I've been freaking myself out about dying from a heart attack. It might be to do with my dad's birthday just having come and gone, and although he was at the lower end of a healthy weight he died 14 years ago from heart-related stuff. Or maybe it's because I've been binge-watching last season's biggest loser and…

Body Adjusting to Diet?
Hi Everyone, Just this past week (and by that I mean since Monday, so...two days), I've really cleaned up my diet. Previously I was at a higher calorie count and not focusing on eating nutritious foods - it was really just my goal to not gain any more weight, and heal a couple of injuries I had, get through some stressful…

SO TIRED! :(
Hey everyone, so I know this isn't a medical board and that I should see my doctor etc but I just want to know what you all think. I'm really freaking tired, all the time. Not just lacking energy tired, but falling asleep tired. I had blood tests done, including diabetes, and everything came back A+. Typically, my day goes…

WHY did you gain weight?
I was watching the Biggest Loser last night, and they place a huge emphasis on the psychology behind obesity. One of the trainers told a girl that unless she opens up, she'll lose the weight and then gain it back, because she hasn't dealt with the issues behind her weight. It got me thinking about mine. But I don't think I…
