Just 3 years ago I decided I had a serious weight issue. I started kicking some rear end and lost a whopping 150 lbs. I was right where I wanted to be and life was great- My confidence was up, I could be active, wasn't hurting myself (from doing activities overweight I had knee issues), and I...

I will pay someone to tell me how many calories I should eat. What kind of person should I go hire? A nutritionist? A physical trainer? A different doctor? (I don't like my dr.s answer) I think I have problems starving myself sometimes. I'll eat approx 160 calories for breakfast, 250 calories...

I still don't feel like a "success". I still feel like I have weight to loose. 10 more lbs and I'll nolonger be "obese". Thats my goal... BUT I am a success story! I've lost over 100 lbs. (120 lbs from my highest weight, 109 lbs since my divorce) Its a different world. I went to a bar the...

I'm struggling with that now, but I've slowly built my wardrobe CHEAP. I've kept my eye on year end sales and managed to buy some shirts for about $3-4 US and pants for about $12. I'm hesitant to spend much more than that because I'ms till losing. I have a pair of pants that are a 54 (mens...

I want to re-up what a few others have said- If you don't have the food, you can't eat it!!! Then the only "challenge" you have is not to buy more at the grocery store! I got rid of ALL snacks- and all POSSIBLE snacks. By the end of the week, my pantry is pretty much empty, with an exception...

I lost 5 lbs since yesterday... after Last night I went to an all-you-can eat buffet, and ate probably 6 pieces of pizza, 4 cinnamon rolls, some breadsticks, pasta, and 2 sodas. Weighing myself this morning? I lost FIVE POUNDS to a new all-time low weight?? My goal a year and a half ago was...

Thanks for the idea of looking at it week-to-week instead of day-to-day. I'm still going to weigh myself daily, but I don't let myself worry about d-2-d and worry more of week to week. I'm still confused as heck though. Last night I went to an all-you-can eat buffet, and ate probably 6 pieces...

I lost 106 lbs, then battled starvation as I was so scared to go back that I refused to eat, but now I struggle to get the right balance. I feel like when I have a "bad weekend", I'll drink a 2 liter of pop, eat pizza, wings, etc. and I stop on the scale on monday and somehow lose 2 lbs. Then...

Thanks everyone for the responses... I was thinking it was too low of an intake. Breakfast- 1 piece of peanut butter toast (87+190 cal, 8%carb, 11g protein, 16g fat), 1 personal box of cereal(114 cal, 9% carbs, 1.3g protein), 1 apple (74 cal, 6% carbs), 1 small glass of juice (148 cal, 12%...

Thanks for the great resource! That helps a lot. I'm definately under eating!

Another newbie... I've lost a bit over 75 lbs and thought these forums could give me a little bit more support when the going gets rough. I started dieting and working out every day after my wife left me for another guy. My main intention was to get under 300lbs because insurance wouldnt cover...

What surface are you running on? Try getting some good running shoes and running on dirt surfaces. Also look at your form. try overly rolling your feat as you run to minimize the impact. Your calves will be sore at first, but eventually you can keep it up. If your running flat footed on...

I've lost just over 75 lbs, and my weight lifting has recently started to DECREASE. My muscles are physically exausted at lower reps today than it was 6 months ago at higher weights. Anyone know what exactly is attributing to this? I'm guessing it probably has to do with diet? If so, what type...

Are there any good resources to determine how much you should eat? I was eating about 1200 calories a day, and barely losing anything (working out a ton). I upped it to about 2500 calories and I started losing more weight. I was told it was because my body was "starving". How much do I need to...
