Original Post by gi-jane : Given the way the OP keeps posting the same silly 'diet' ad nauseam I think the glucose deprivation is clearly starting to take effect..... On the other hand, he provides wonderful cautionary tale.

Rather than getting in a state start with some facts....  Have a look at this site which is aimed specifically at the under 21s.... http://www.bcm.edu/cnrc/bodycomp/bmiz2.html   If you enter your stats you'll find that you're a perfectly healthy weight for someone your age and height. At the lower end, even. BUT.... As you get older your body is going to change.   You're going through puberty at the...

The biggest change I made food-wise is to log everything I eat as accurately as possible.  That means using a scale when I am at home, and estimating as best I can when I am out.  From that big change came many small changes that help me stay on track. The biggest change I made exercise wise was to add a progressive calisthenics program every day.  I literally have missed one day in the past 6 months, and I just...

Original Post by trikki : At your height, weight, and activity level you are going to be able to lose on MUCH more calories than that.  Why not do it?? There's NO downside to eating more. In fact, it will only help your efforts now and in the long run. This.

Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) stimulates the production of glucocorticoids (also known as cortisol). Ephedrine accelerates glucocorticoid production in the body as well. However, glucocorticoids will impact weight gain only if the patient has pre-metabolic or metabolic syndrome. That's a very...

My weight loss milestone is having all my jeans not fit me anymore. Time to buy some belts!

Every Friday, I make up a list of what I need and then shop sometime over the...

The store I work is located in the food court of a mall.....fill in the blank.....and it has made me really good at finding the better to healthy options.  And I always consult the web sites to double check nutrition and it has helped me with choices. Mcdonalds- any salad with out the chicken or if I am feeling like being "bad" a kids meal. Taco bell- anything from there fresca menu.  But in general if you tell...

Original Post by roanokedad : Although several have indicated this already, I cannot stress enough the level of variation that you will see in day to day weight.  What you see below is based on an maintenance plan after some pretty significant weight loss. For the cart, calories in, exercise, scale, weigh time etc. are very consistent over the time-line shown.  Some of the daily ups and down are dramatic.   A single...
