"Hey OP. I find setting mini goals helps. So say you have something on in Feb....that's a mini goal. Not too far away so helps keep the focus. Once you meet that, set another one & another one etc. Best of luck!" This was my mini goal lol. Last year I lost about 30lbs but put some back obviously. I just wanna feel happier in myself again | |||

"Starting the weight loss now. Today I started it all again. It's the same every year. I lose weight and then fall of the rails when work gets busy or holiday times. Would love to get chatting to anyone else losing and keep each other motivated. Good to be in it together. I want to lose about 21-25lbs " Right, your issue right not is your terminology. Your situation is not a "weight loss"...it is a significant health gain. Every pound or kilo u lose, is a step to being a healthier person. There is no loss in that, just a personal mammoth gain to get u on the road of health and fitness. U can do it. | |||

"If you can add that much weight in that short time, then its not food you love, its dopamine. If you go onto a diet of chicken and rice and your mood takes a nose dive off a cliff and first time you hit a bad experience you eat unhelathy foods, then its not the food, its the dopamine." After reading that, it would be handy to have a Nutritionist in the group for guidance. I'm sure we all want to know which vitamins and supplements to take. As we all have different individual needs in that regard. | |||

After reading that, it would be handy to have a Nutritionist in the group for guidance. I'm sure we all want to know which vitamins and supplements to take. As we all have different individual needs in that regard." If you eat a food that is high in both fat/sugar, then it is a combination that does not exist in nature. Our bodies never evolved to handle it. When you ingest it, your brain gives a pleasure release of dopanine to tell you to not stop eating it. Your body sees there is a lot of fat and carbs in the food, and puts a priority on storing the fat, to do this it has to store the carbs as fat too. So the whole meal, every single bite of it gets stored as fat, while your brain releases dopamine making you eat every single last bit of it. This is really easily demonstrated. Boil 2 big potatoes, and try eat them, dont add any butter, just boil them and try eat them. Your body will probably send a "full" signal halfway through the second, also you wont enjoy the processes. Now add cheese on top, all you are doing here is increasing the carb to fat ratio, you can add any fat on top. You will now be able to finish both. Now take it a step further, roast them in duck fat and you will suddenly be able to eat 3 or 4 potatoes, while enjoying every second of it, as dopamine is released more. This is why its called comfort eating. Icecream is 50 percent fat 50 percent sugar. Doughnuts, chocolate. But companies who make processed food know this. So things like tomoato ketchup, they artifically increase the carb/fat ratio to give you a dopamine hit. This can cause you to store the whole entire meal as fat. So the reason you will sit there and eat too much its not cause you love the food, its cause youre eating a food that is giving you a dopamine or pleasure response, and when its doing that youre probably storing every single bite as fat. So have big portions of normal healthy meals, and then small portions of treats like a chocolate bar with a cup of tea later, at least then youll only convert a tiny amount to fat. Thats my advice. | |||

"Today marks six weeks without sugar. Running 5 miles a day...no meat, dairy or flour. No caffeine! The change has been fantastic! I feel great! Zero alcohol! A healthy diet, a healthy vegan diet, gluten free, caffeine-free, sugar-free, and a 2-hour workout everyday. Lost 15 pounds of fat and gained muscle mass. I don't know whose status this is, but I was really proud of them. So I decided to copy and paste. "Ha ha .... I was thinking... how da fuq does he manage to have any energy for sex. | |||

"Hi This thankfully is something I do know about. Secret about weight loss is not to lose weight rapidly. Weight consists of eating too much of bad foods at wrong times. I have maintained same weight for last 10 years and I would have been prone to put on weight easily. I still have a drink and I allow myself treats. i excercise everyday and I drink the mandatory 2 litres of water. However the one difference I made is I got rid of processed foods and sauces and cook my own . I do not eat after 6 pm that was a bummer at start but after a week it was routine. I ditched drink during week and kept it to fri.sat. Secret don't try to lose it fast ." heard good things about the time restricted eating and how sticking to an 8-10 hour eating window helps your body process the food you eat better, so you eat the same but less is wasted and converted to fat stores | |||
"Fair play op I started yesterday eating better and set a target of 5 mile a day walking think everybody is doing the same it’s sticking to healthy eating is the problem I looooove chocolate and costa coffee I’ll struggle with them most,the exercise won’t be the issue my eating will "I know that struggle lol Costa is my addiction, so now I've my own coffee machine at home and the syrups (sugar free haha).... I'd be interested joining the group, could definitely do with motivation,, back to slimming world yday after a week off over Xmas and I was down 6.5lb and I need to keep going that way | |||

"Fantastic achievement-Hugh respect from me I agree: successful weightloss is about lifestyle changes and takes time...following some kind of fad diet leads only temporary weight loss... I lost more than 16 stone 5 years ago...took me 2.5 year to achieve this. Never followed any diet plan only made changes how to live my life and stick with it...I didn’t gain wary back in 7 years because I stick into this “new “ lifestyle " good work! Yea I definitely think it's all about portion control. I generally just love food and eat too much. It's just calories in versus calories out. | |||
