| Weight Loss | Why are these poor people punishing themselves? | Nov 29 2009 23:42 (UTC) |

nbradford, ur reply stuck a chord with my heart, u r right when peole start to diet they want to get back to that weight which they perceived as their healthiest and happiest weight. i m 30 yrs. old women, around april i used to way around 154lb. i used to wear XL clothes, i used to hide behind everyone whenever they used to take pics, i used to buy those clothes which fitted me not which i want to buy, when i used to go out with my husband i used to be conscious everytime, well now i m at a weight of 115 lb. some people think i m too thin, but i m happy with my weight , i was of this weight when i was 22 yrs. old, i just feel like my former 22 yrs. self is back, now i m wearing what i want, i m always eager to get my pics, most importantly when i m going out with my husband or meeting his friend i don't feel conscious.... well, perfect weight for everyone is different, it depends upon peoples culture, circumstance, body frame.......i just want to make a humble request pl, don't judge people by the amount of weight they weight or amount of weight they want to loose, everryone is different, i m not in the favour of being under-weight........i just want to sign off by saying i never felt so alive when i was over-weight..... sorry for the long post. |

Terdam i too believe in luck and destiny, but just remember one golden rule "God/Destiny/luck helps those who help themselves", u have to help urself by getting started then u can pray for miracles. For the start try to include as many veggies as possible in ur diet, whenever u feel like eating snacks eat fruits or veggies, try to avoid soft drinks,trust me within a week or so ur body will get used to the schedule and u will start loosing weight, if u don't feel like going to gym. u can start by going for walks even if its just 10min. walk it will make a difference. Start gradually build-it up slowly, don't expect miracle to happen in a day,u did not gain weight in a day so u r not going to loose it in a day........, if u r feeling down emotionally try to make friends , so that u can share ur feelings with them , when one is depressed one tends to eat a lot, but as a individual we have to find solutions for our problem , u r not alone we r with u......
If u will try to help ur body, i m sure ur body will help u too, believe urself, u can do it, we r with u.... |

| Weight Loss | Social diet challange | Nov 25 2009 17:04 (UTC) |

I adopted a slightly different approach, my extended family live near by, so we have lots of get togethers( once in two days we meet for dinner), when i started my diet, i told everyone v clearly that i was on diet, few of them made fun of me, few tried to distract me by saying we r sure u can never control ur sweet tooth, but when they realised that i was serious(during any normal get together i always made sure that i filled 60% of my plate with veggies, i never strayed from my diet) they accepted it , yeah! when there is any special get together i make sure that through out the day i m on a low cal.diet so that during the occassion i can join everyone and eat in moderation. So, my advice is tell everone that u r serious and try not to get distracted within a month or two everyone will accept that u r on a diet, after once everyone has got used to the idea if u want u can stray a little bit , i u like. Anyways this worked for me, my family is really v pushy when it comes to serving food, but i lost around 45 lb. in seven months, well it depends upon ur situation. |

Doctors give v unrealistic goals, my sister-in-law was diagnoised with Hernia, they told her to loose 25 lb. in six months and they gave her such an unrealistic diet that when i saw her diet plan my immediate reaction was"ARE U SUPPOSE TO EAT THIS BEFORE TAKING FOOD OR AFTER FOOD"her diet plan was of just 600 cal. even the veggies were suppose to be taken in a controlled way, she immediately consulteda nutritionist he suggeted a diet plan of 1200 cal she was able to loose her weight successfully. so pl, remeber doctors r not always right when it comes to suggesting diet plan. |

Everyone pl relax and give Kirstin_lewis a break, I know healthy BMI is between 18.5 to 24.9, it depends upon a person age, personality, lifestyle,health and many factors...... which range he/she wants to choose, well i personally don't find anything wrong if she wants to loose little more weight as long as she is in healthy bmi range its fine, she is just 19, a age at which one wants to look their best, anyways its my personal opinion. |

Nasima, I m also a muslim i m not telling u to go and have a big fight with him , u can have a casual, polite chat with him, when he is in a good mood, don't give him all the information in one go, while u r having a lighter time u can tell him do u know one large carrot has 7 calories, one apple has around 60 calories, may be a pizza has around 500 cal. don't go too much about calories within few weeks time he will understand that large amount of food doesn't equal to large intake of calories, just be patient, i did this with my mother, she doesn't know anything about calories, it took me whole three months before she understood, just be patient and firm, my best wishes r with u, u can loose the weight u want by following ur way of eating. |

Don't let ur husband dictate u how much u r suppose to eat, u r a mature women not an infant, tell him firmly u r trying ur level best, if ur body wills support u , u will see some results by june, not the fictional figure of 30 he has in minds, my hubby tried to boss me when i started my diet, i told him politely but firmly that this is my health and i want to do it my way, u can research some sites and get all the information u want, don't let him bully u, today he is bullying u about weight, tomorrow he will bully u about something else, if he is still not listening ask ur family doctor if such low calorie diet is sensible, i m sure she will reply in negative, then u can tell her to tell ur hubby about it. |

Hi Skaiya, just relax, its clear that ur sister is trying to sabotage ur weight loss plan , well, if u allow her to have her way( i mean if u eat pizza and junk food as she wants u to eat) trust me she will be first one to say how people should have will power, how loosing weight requires lot of determination,blah, blah............ just ignore her and carry on with ur plan, once u have reached ur goal weight u too can give ur sister piece of ur mind by saying how easy ur weight loss journey was, how u never felt like giving up anything, i m sure it will be a perfect reply on her face. Till then just relax and ignore her, we all r with u ,we all know giivng up the food we love is not easy, finally we all know how hard u r trying .Best of luck.Just stay focussed. |
