Ht. 5'4, Wt. 155 - Hey guys; I just wanted to add a little bit of a rant here. Sorry if it is a bit on the offensive side, but I just wanted to get it out. It seems like lately there are a lot of depressed people on here, people who want quick fixes, people who want to be skinny, look like everyone else, wear smaller clothes. C'mon! There isn't a quick fix to becoming healthier. If you aren't losing weight for yourself and for your well-being, if you are doing it in vain, then you know, don't even bother. Plus, whenever someone gets on here and is excited about losing a few pounds, I hardly see any congratulations. Instead, I see "How'd you do it?!!!! Tell me!!! How did you do it?!!!" It looks so desperate; plus, every body is different. Everyone is going to lose weight at different rates and such. Well, I'll tell you how people...

It looks so desperate; plus, every body is different. Everyone is going to lose weight at different rates and such. Well, I'll tell you how people lose weight, 2 simple words: Diet and Exercise. Remember, the weight didn't pile on overnight, so it won't come off overnight. We need to chin up, become more optimistic. There is no big secret to weight loss. I have these recommendations of my own: Check out your BMI, see where you land. Then see what the recommended weight is for your height. Try to get to there first, and then if you want to lose more, then go ahead. Don't aim for a 50 pound loss first thing. Try to go in increments of 5-10. Things don't look too bad then. Aim for 1200 calories a day. Drink water, water, and more water! Get in your fruits and veggies! Remember, being healthy isn't always about weight as well. Try to become physically fit all around. I know of plenty of "skinny" people who probably wouldn't be able to do the sort of "hiking" I do each evening.
Speakng of me, things are going okay. Yea, I get frustrated to sometimes, but I'm just keeping up with the routine, consuming healthier foods & walking my daily 2-3 miles. Weigh-in for me is on Saturday, so let's up the scale is down a few more notches. :D
Best of Luck! (view less)
