Weight Loss HELP.. not enough calories ? Jan 30 2009

Hey Meghan.

yeah it definately is hard, i 100% agree. Im sure that im getting my metabolism back on track because i get full way faster, but hungry more frequently, and ive been eating all 3 meals nad timing my days accordingly.

and im still working on the calorie thing, riht now im eating about 1000 cals a day too. so im gunna try for 1200. and then do 30 min cardio a day.

hopefully that will help me lose weight, im dwon about 5.5 lbs so far so i just have 14.5 to go :D

so yeah just keep up doing what your doing too, try to grab some more food though thats still healthy but has heartier cals in it. cus i read on the other forums that less than 1200 is not good for you.

i still am not sure if it can stop you from losing weight though. :| youd think the less calories the better !?

Motivation Hydroxycut SUCCESS? Jan 30 2009

Hey Karen,

Thank you so much, again today im down 2 lbs. Im not sure right now, if im actually losing weight or water weight... but either or, the scale says im lighter. But yes i do believe that the hydroxycut curbes your apetite and it speeds your metabolism. but im sure it works with different types of people.  my problem was not eating enough, i never ate the 3 meals a day but with hydroxycut you have too. Also i have realized that when i do eat i get full way faster than before. yet hungry faster, so i grab a small snack like an apple or a yogurt. So im sure thats the pill working its magic. i have been eating all healthy food as well and a moderate level of exercise i go running for a bout a half hour a day, im up to burning 200 calories, im going for 250 on monday. im new to the whole gym thing so im starting off slower.

your goal is definately a good goal! and im sure with the right diet and exercise that weight will just fall off you, but hydroxycut might give you a boost, to have it done quicker :)

ill let you know how my 2nd week goes to see if i lose any weight, ive been told that the first week of hydroxycut its a honeymoon... soo well see how it goes cus im married to this baby ;) :P

 

GOOD LUCK with your diet! :D

Weight Loss Is anyone scared that losing weight will be disappointing/ ruin things? Jan 29 2009

wow, thats really sad that you feel that way. :(

But everyone is beautiful in their own way. EVEN YOU!
if you want to lose weight, as everyone else has said, do it for YOU, not for anyone else.

and hey the whole fat girls arent pretty thing is totally wrong!

i know plenty of heavier set women, including myself, that are extremely pretty! prettyness comes with confidence!

if losing weight will make you more confident, GIRL then GO FOR IT ;)
but if you are happy with your weight and not experiencing any health problems with it then just maintain it!

seems to me like you need a confidence class, not a yoga class.
i think you should work on your confidence and then lose weight if you feel thats what you need to do.

CONFIDENCE IS KEY! and why dont you try goign for a new look? get your hair done, your nails done, get your makeup done, and buy some new hip clothing to boost your ego :) it works for me.

If you diet and exercise you can safely lose 2 lbs per week without hydroxycut - 2 lbs x 8 weeks = 16 lbs ....

I love weightloss gimicks that say that "with diet and exercise" you can lose just as much as you can lose without their expensive gimick.

It's like finding something with a sale sticker - $1 each... buy now, 2 for $2!

 you know i absolutely agree with that.
but i think for me , it was just the motivation when i first got it, because i did read so many AMAZING reviews... on THEIR website ( obviously theyre going to put good reviews up ). so at the time it was just exciting to think about. but now that ive read all these. you guys are completely right. im paying for the pills but can lose just as much weight doing what im doing without the pills.

 

thanks alot for your feedback. Laughing

actually i am not a yo-yo dieter, this is really my first diet! I am only 17 years old. and this past year i have put on quite a few lbs. im currently 5'7 and a 185 lbs. my ultimate goal is to lose 50 lbs so i will be 135 lbs. but right now im focusing on 20 lbs so ill be 165. im ususally around 155-170 and i think i look pretty good in that section, but id still like to be thinner.

im using hydroxycut as a boost to help my metabolism speed up and then after the 8 weeks i plan on stopping the use of it and then maintaining a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise. this is really jsut a boost for me. i have not experienced any of the side effects yet, have no problem sleeping, and do not feel nausiated or jittery. but i do pee alot... but then again im drinking A LOT of water, but thats good for you. so that doesnt bother me.

and its not that i was discouraged with the 3 lbs... i was just comparing. any lbs lost makes me happy!  i do not plan on staying on the pills for life but i do plan on commiting to a healthy lifestyle for life.

does that change anything?

i agree that it is just water weight but on the hydroxycut website it says that you can drop 15 lbs in 8 weeks if you diet and exercise as apposed to just diet nad exercise 4 lbs. you dont think it would be a good boost starter? thats what i think.

Thank you so much. for your replies.

Its not that i only wanted to eat one meal a day, its all i made time for. and i couldnt understand why ive gained so much weight over the last year, because i dont eat that much junk food, or anything like that. so it was really making me depressed. but now i know that it was not eating enough, which i have changed and now i eat all healthy food, more frequently. i have noticed a big change since i have too. i can get up earlier and have more energy to do stuff all throughout the day. its great.

by no means, was i trying to "diet" with my one meal a day, it was just a bad slump i got into. now that i am trying to lose weight ive actually started eating more, just all healthy stuff. i know this can be a lifetime commitment now becaue hey, food is good :) so thanks again for your input i greatly appreciate it :D

Thank you for your replies.

Well im not eating one meal a day anymore. but before i really was.

i didnt have time to "graze" i was busy doing other things, getting up to get ready for school, no time for breakfast, didnt pack a lunch, and by the time i got home i ate dinner. and that was about it. honestly i did have some junk food once in a while. but not on a daily basis.

i am 17 years old,

and 5'7 and 185 lbs.

i dont look overly obese or anything. and i think ill look good at 160-165 which is my goal.

i have started eating more frequently & healthy but i was wondering if it was true that you could gain weight from undereating. i was told that your body stores whatever you get as fat then? is that true?

Will I lose weight if I eat the same food over and over?
