losingjusme 12 Posted April 3, 2007 While I am very happy with that, I must admit that I am envious of those who have lost 100 lbs in 6-7 months. What is your advise? What is your typical days' diet like? I know sometimes its the small things that make a huge difference. I am really interested to hear from this group. Thanks. i journal about 85 - 90% of everything (food and exercise) on my blog ( http://losingjusme.blogspot.com/ ) i work out A LOT ... i bought the book Total Body Makeover and am following that. it is very intense exercising. my eating habits still need to change. if there is chocolate in the house or at my desk at work, i eat it ... :think i am almost at 100 pounds but my fear is that i will just stop losing ...

kareyquilts 1 Posted April 3, 2007 losingjusme: Thanks for sharing your tips. I checked out your blog and it's awesome. I am exercising 5 days a week. I'm doing Water aerobics and lifting weights a couple times a week. I think I need to get a personal trainer and get extremely serious about the exercise factor. I've been on a platueau for 6 weeks and it's really getting me down. It's helpful to see that other people have been successful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nile 0 Posted April 3, 2007 I've lost 139 lbs in 7 months, i can't really workout (i have pain in my left leg when i do since december 15 or so and it's getting better this days with the help of a kinesioloy treatment) so i think my "secret" (if it can be called that way) is to eat lots of veggies and fruits, no fats, no salt, no cooking oil, drink lots of Water (no coke, sprite or similar) and also to keep my motivation high is to always weight myself when i woke up :notagree so i can start the day with a goal in my mind, one day at a time it's the way to go . Good luck, saludos! :clap2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puddin 7 Posted April 3, 2007 Nile, how in the heck are you not hungry all the time? Here's my thing: I work my butt off at the gym and on my bike, but I am freakin hungry ALL the time. I eat like 2,000 calories a day. I'm pretty well restricted, but still hungry, even when I'm full I'm just not.. satisfied. I don't get it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I eat like 2,000 calories a day. I'm pretty well restricted, but still hungry, even when I'm full I'm just not.. satisfied. I don't get it! I got that kind of hunger too, when it gets me i go to the fridge pick a big bottle of Water and i drink it like there's no tommorrow in 5 minutes the only thing in my mind is to go the bathroom other option for me is to grab a pack of free sugar chewing gum . I tend to get it the days i'm feeling sad and i think it's 100% psychological so i don't really need the food i just want it! Good luck, saludos! :clap2: P.S: I saw your flickr photo album, you're gorgeous! :nervous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have definitely been under a lot of stress lately, so that could explain the recent surge in appetite. I like the water idea, I'm going to try it. Except I'm going to put the green tea extract in it. That stuff is so nasty I don't want anything else for a few hours after that. So I'll kick that into high gear and see how it works. And thanks for the nice compliment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
