hmmm, that is a good question. Perhaps he is with you because he sees the beauty that resides within you. Perhaps he loves your intelligence and the way that you treat him. Not all men are so shallow as to love a woman simply because she has a great body. So why did you gain weight? Well you said that you started walking. You are probably developing your leg muscles and muscle weights more than fat. Just keep doing what you're doing and enjoy what you have. Talk to him about it. If he is a great catch then his response will surprise you. By the way, I think that you are gorgeous.

My first advice would be: don't skip breakfast, if any, that's when you should eat the heaviest meal of the day (by heaviest I don't mean greasy or unhealthy).

Now, how do you make the juice? Because most juicers (if not all) take away the fiber and most of the nutrients from the fruits/veggies you use. I think (personal opinion) that is bettter to eat the whole veggie, unless you have one of those magic bullet-type of blenders.

Don't stress too much about it! That will do more harm instead of helping.

I think most women tend to go crazy with cardio when trying to get rid off the extra weight, but if you build muscle it will help to "burn" the fat faster compared to cardio alone.

There's a lot of websites where you can find bodyweight workouts you can do at home with little or no extra equipment at all, just take it easy at first.

Finally, it's awesome that you wanna look hotter for your guy, but ultimately, if you wanna get healthier and in shape, it should be just for you, the rest is just a plus, he obviously likes you for who you are, and sometimes we are too harsh with ourselves when it comes to looks and forget that people around us (specially loved ones) are better to see our good qualities than ourselves.

follow a sensible diet. fad diets don't work. Read up on weight watchers and portion control. Don't weigh yourself every day. Once a week and at the same time, wearing the same clothes.

Write down everything you eat and how much of it for an entire week.

What are in your veggie juices? Give us a list of ingredients to help us help you.

Thanks guys. I know he thinks I'm beautiful but I just want to be a little thinner. I wanna lose like 20 pounds. I have a nutri bullet thing it's not exactly juice but it's blended. My typical morning drink is 1-2 cups of spinach, a celery stick, a carrot, a couple bits of kale, blueberries or mango.. And an apple... It all blends together and I drink it instead of eating breakfast...

Hi. I understand perfectly what you're going through. Have you lost any weight at all? You might be stuck at a plateau. If this is the case try shifting your calories around, say you normally eat around 2000, then try eating slightly less, and then slightly more the next day. This will confuse your body and it could help you out of the plateau. Also, try strength training and other types cardio. Just going from walking to running might help.

Never eat less than 1200 calories. This a mistake a lot of people make. Eating very few calories actually sends your body into starvation mode making it harder to lose weight.

I think you should do this if you really want to. It's obvious that your bf already finds you beautiful. If you think losing weight will give you an extra boost of self-confidence, then go for it.

I've lost 33 lbs by eating healthy and exercising and I have a blog about weight loss and general weight being. I might be able to help some more if you take a look at my blog:

Good luck x

wow..if thats u in ur avi pic I think u are absolutely gorgeous!! ..why worry!.. im not sure what ur doing as far as how much n how often ur eating...but its important..also how long uve been doing it. takes a while to see results. u have to be eating small meals about 5-6 times a day. drinking a lot of water... ur body us adjusting to being toxic free...its craving all the fat from the bad foods. so what it does is it goes into starvation mode n hoardes all the bad stuff n stores it in ur fat cells to live off of because it thinks ur depleating it. .. in time ur body will realize its not being starved n will process the fat its storing. it has to detox basically. drink some green tea every day (ick) n lots and lots of water..it will flush u out...give it time. keep ur chin up pretty gurl

Lol yes that's me. I have been feeling better but it would be great if I could lose 30 pounds. All I can do is keep eating right an walking I guess

Try introducing Mother of Apple Cider Vinegar into your diet. Just a tablespoon with each meal can help kick start your metabolism.

Like the others I believe you are starving yourself and your body is in conservation mode. Eat a good breakfast and small healthy meals (snacks) during the day. Try to avoid big sitdown meals.

And throw the scale out the window! Eat right and exercise and don't worry about the weight. Over time you will see the transformation.

How OFTEN are you eating? If you eat one big meal a day and then starve yourself the rest of the day, you'll actually gain more weight. Eating MORE OFTEN in small portions is what will help you lose weight, because you're forcing the metabolism to constantly be metabolizing, processing food.

Also, I'd step up the cardio, from walking to running or (and I swear by this, works great for me) bicycling! You've got to really sweat vigorously to shed a lot of pounds.

Also, losing WEIGHT is not so much the issue as is losing FAT. You ARE losing fat when you exercise...and you're gaining muscle! Muscle weighs a lot! So, I agree with the others, don't sweat the number on the scale. Analyze how you FEEL, what your ENERGY LEVEL is, and examine those areas of the body where you're gaining muscle! I bet you'll find those areas of your body very sexy! If you want less fat and more muscle in other areas of your body, target those areas in some sort of weight-pushing/resistance-training exercises. If you can afford a gym membership and a persona fitness trainer, go that route. The trainer will tell you exactly what exercises you need to do to trim up the problem areas and burn off the fat.

Success, and have fun!

Bubbabiker's got a good point about the apple cider vinegar. Garlic, ginger and spices are also a good thing to have in your diet. If your stomach can handle it, the spicier the food, the better! These spicy foods are good little scrubbers that go through and clean the colon and circulatory system.

veggie juice.

So basically you are taking out all the fiber when you make the juice, right? The "pulp"?

so you are concentrating the callories and natural sugars in the vegetables.

Fiber is a very important part of most of the healthy diets, it slows intake, reduces blood sugar swings (by slowing the intake) and makes you feel fuller longer. The health benefits of fiber and very well known and very well documented.

STOP JUICING and just eat the vegetables.

Also, make sure you are taking in the appropriate level of calories. many people think "less is better" ... but the reality is that once below a certain point it causes your body to go into "saving mode" where you actually put on weight and lose all your energy. At LEAST a 100 calorie breakfast and 100 calorie mini meal prior to any exercise is recammended. The increase in energy actually causes you to lose weight.

Our bodies often operate more on the subtleties of calculus instead of algebra.

Have you ever thought that maybe he is tired of women wanting to date him for that reason? (Only because of looks). He obviously found what he wanted in you. Have confidence, don't stress. Be healthy... Butdont worry. That's YOUR man, and you make him happy. Smile, and go with it :)

Own the Nutriblast? It keeps in the fiber WITH the juice!

BTW, can anyone tell me exactly how much and what types of food would constitute 1200 calories a day? Are we talking an apple for breakfast, a cucumber for lunch and a hard-boiled egg for dinner? I'm about to do a google search on the subject, and figured this would be a short-cut.

Never mind--found something:

http://www.eatingwell.com/blogs/diet_blog/what_does_a_1200_calorie_day_look_like

Don't know about you guys, but this looks pretty doable to me! I'm probably consuming at least 2000-2500 calories per day now and could cut down to 1200 calories without missing the excess. No more fried chicken for me, which is OK.
