So it seems that things are working fine. If I recall correctly, you were in the 170# when you started? so in what is it now, four months? it seems to me that you're doing fine! You can't melt it all off overnight, it took you years to put it on. Remember that.

I agree with you Wanna, I am retired, so it has been an absolute luxury for me to have the time for this crash course in weight loss and nutrition that I have been on and a PT, and I am very grateful for it. Obviously I couldn't do it either when there were so many other things to be focusing on, but wish I did, little by little like so many have.

I try to read up on various diet and nutritional ideas, but it seems like a lot of stuff just contradicts each other, so....who knows?!? Our kids and our business take up the vast majority of my day and brain-space, so like this LS, I do what I can - when I can. I know I'll never have Gisele Bundchen's body, but I'm enjoying seeing the results and hearing the compliments I'm getting. Could I do better by going to see a nutritionist and working out with a personal trainer? Sure! But finances are too tight for luxuries like that right now. But I sure appreciate all the hints and tips I read on here! :)

Back in April when I began this commitment I made a thread in BBW group and wrote about this. After about 2 years and approx. 6 failed attempts to quit smoking AND lose weight, I finally decided I had to do one at a time. I spoke to my doctors, and altho we know that both were effecting my health, I had to chose one. I chose to address my weight loss first because physically and emotionally, I couldn't bare to gain another pound as many do when quitting smoking. My plan was.... once I reached 1/2 or near my goal weight, I was going to make my quit date and for some strange reason I was thinking optimistically, and thought that would be ...about now. But, it's not! I really thought if I stayed committed and learned as much as I could about weight loss and nutrition, i could have lost 20-25 lbs in 5-6 months. A 14-15 lb loss, and only 1 in the last 5 weeks has surprised me ..... And this is a big driving factor behind my impatience and I guess my feelings of urgency. I NEED to quit smoking, but I need my weight under control first. I want to find out wtf I'm doing wrong yesterday. simple version ...Yes, sadly I still smoke.

User Details are only visible to members.	Sed, in short, not to take up too much of your time, but since you said that, what approach would you take for me? Do you think 13-1500 calories is not enough either? Not sure besides increasing my calories to that, increasing my water intake and increasing to more then 6 workouts a week, what I am doing wrong. I am eating healthy foods 3x a day with 2 snacks at the right times. I've cut out all sugars, artificial anything and all processed crap. I have been focusing on keeping my protein, good carbs and good fats in what I believe to be a healthy range, and only recently am thinking that higher protein, lower carbs might work for my particular metabolism. If you think I am on a starvation diet, which I find hard to believe since I am usually very satisfied, how many more calories do you think I should be eating and what else do you see i am doing wrong besides the things I already mentioned?

User Details are only visible to members.	Your weight loss slows down when you cut your calories so drastically because you are putting your metabolism into an emergency mode. You are burning muscle for fuel instead of fat. You are both on a starvation diet as far as I'm concerned. I'm not your trainer but I wouldn't take the approach that you both are taking. As to that Gat fuel, I wouldn't go near a thermogenic supp with a 10 foot pole.
