I lost 15 kilos in about 45 days. I was living on 800 calories a day. I still remember feeling so weak that my head would spin and I'd feel dizzy as I walked to the tobacco store just 2 minutes away from my house.<BR/><BR/>The worst part is, at the end of the day, I gained all that weight back in just one month - and then some.<BR/><BR/>The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that going on a crazy diet not only hurts your health; it also doesn't give you any sustainable weight loss. The only way you can achieve lasting results in this manner is to keep consistently starving yourself to death (and even that isn't guaranteed, since your body's metabolism will adjust accordingly).<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>GeorgeGeorge Blackwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10474571149955436348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-65076512067402041582007-12-27T01:21:00.000-05:002007-12-27T01:21:00.000-05:00I love this and you are very motivating!

Im 15 and in the overweight range, im soooo self conscious about myself. i weight 10 and half stone or 147lbs. I hate it. My bf always moans at me coz i say im overweight, but tbh i yo-yo on a diet. Im vegetarian too, but because im veggie doesnt make me skinny. I hate my stomach and sometimes wish it would just deflate. At one point i started to not eat and went down to 8 stone or 112lbs. I didnt even go out, i felt like everyone was watching and laughing at me. Hmmm..i still feel abit like this and i definately feel sad. Have you got any idea's how i can loose weight? my doctor told me to just exercise, i dont think thats very good advice.

I'm 17 years old and well yeah fat (who'da thunk). I honestly always though I had mental problems or something for all the fat thoughts I have. Your one post about how many times you think about your weight made me cry because I am exactly the same way. I am constantly sizing up the situation to make sure there is nothing that could potentially embarrass me. I've been consumed by these thoughts and worries for such a long time I can hardly even appear to be functioning normal. I've learned to be the shy quiet girl to avoid thing. I can hardly stop crying enough to type this. As many sad emotions as this has stirred up, I feel so relieved to know I am not completely crazy for feeling or thinking the way I do. I really am so glad I came across your site, now I feel like maybe there is a light at the end of this tunnel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-9355258432384540662007-12-17T00:41:00.000-05:002007-12-17T00:41:00.000-05:00Hi <A HREF="http://101reasonsihatebeingfat.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Karaokekitty</A><BR/><BR/>There are some diets which also help us...one of em is <A HREF="http://www.weightlossdietwatch.com/diet-plans/5-lemonade-diet-recipes-to-lose-weight-and-to-overcome-from-common-health-ailments/" REL="nofollow">the lemonade diet</A> is also known as master cleanse diet or lemon cleanse diet.

I weigh about 165 (used to weigh 132 long time ago). I've been at 165 for almost a year. However, last year I didn't do much excercise. Then, for the past three months I have been going to the gym about four times a week (Work Out World and YMCA). <BR/> I do 20+ minutes treadmill, bench presses, leg presses, dips, weight machines, and elliptical trainer. I used to power-lift a few years back. So if you've never done weights, please first research proper form or ask a trainer. <BR/> In summary, I still weigh about 165. However, I have dropped one jean size, am roughly 12 - 14 now, and couldn't find any jeans to fit last year. Now I wear JAG Jeans from Nordstrom. They are great. ("Not Your Daughters Jeans" are pretty good, too)<BR/> Hey, thanks for sharing your inspiring weight loss story in this blog. I always look forward to your latest edition.<BR/><BR/>MargieMargienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21498098.post-82706623252558207802007-12-15T12:57:00.000-05:002007-12-15T12:57:00.000-05:00you give such great advice! and losing weight slowly is always best, because it's easier to keep it off that way, as opposed to "crash" diets that make you lose quickly, but then gain quickly. keep up the good work, and thanks for being such an inspiration!Laura Brandonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15674926822492343751noreply@blogger.com
