Ht. 5'8", Start: 250 lb, Today: 236 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 195 lb - So i haven't been on here in a while.. had about 3 cheat days last week and started a new diet saturday. It's been going okay, i'm aiming for 45 minutes of excersise tonight. i really wanna lose 40 pounds for my 19th birthday in 4 months! hopefully i can, i don't wanna go to the bar and feel like a fatty compared to everyone else. The diets definately gettin' easier, but i have my down days. I'm weighing myself in exactly a month, thought i'd try it out so i'm not getting all stressed out about a pound of water weight every week.
Any suggestions to help speed up with weight loss?
I'm working out 5 times a week
One cheat day a week (without it i'd probably be nowhere haha)
8 big glasses of water a day, and at least 1 green tea a day
no eating after supper
no more than 1200 calories a day, and most calories in the morning
Also, i've been eating bread every second day now instead of every day
More suggestions to add to this diet would be awesome!
good luck everyone!

Hi Jessica!
Thanks for your wonderful reply! You made me feel much better. You asked how Ive lost weight so far well (aside from not eating a box of doughnuts) I realized that I could trick my body into not being hungry like this... When I exercise, I burn lots of cals but also work up an appetite so I would down like 2 bottles of water and then eat half hour later and I would get surpringly full quickly. I also noticed that Im less hungry when I sleep more so I started going to bed earlier. And I also did not set any goals because if you exceed your goal you have an excuse to cheat and lose track, and if you dont meet your goal you feel like losing hope and comfortfooding. Hope this helps! Lilly
