Losing more when working out less?
I know this may sound crazy.. but I have noticed that weight just falls off of me if I don't work out as much. I usually try to do about 45 minutes to an hour a day at least 6 days a week, but when I do that I lose VERY slowly. Then on the other hand, if I work out about 30 minutes 5 days a week, I can lose triple the…

Frusterating
So I have been on here 2 weeks, but my dieting has been for a lot longer. I work with a nutritionist which I meet with every other Sunday, for weigh ins and discussions on food. When I first started going 2 years ago I was a lot heavier, and we measured my BMR with a machine I had to breathe into. It reported that I had a…

Do I have to eat vegtables to loose weight?
Hi, I have a hard time eating more than 1-2 servings of vegetables. I know that no supplement is as good as the real thing, but I'm not a big veggie fan. I take vitamins and eat plenty of fiber. As long as I burn more calories than I eat, should I still be able to loose weight without eating a lot of veggies? I'm also open…

The State Fair & Halloween Candy in one day??!!
Saturday is my weigh in day, and I'm pleased to announce that I'm down another 3 lbs. I had a really good week, but today we are taking in the state fair and tonight of course is trick or treating & a party. I'm going to be away from home most of the day, so I've decided I'm not going to worry myself about tracking…

Accountability
I am so sick of this weight loss battle. I am able to do good for a while and then I lose it and end up gaining everything back. My biggest struggle is that there is no one accountable for my success or failure other then myself, so my question is how do you keep your self accountable? I would love any tips or advise....I…

Unsupportive Co-workers! GRRRRR!
So a little more about me, grew up in a family of 7 kids. No food was to be thrown away... so my parents used me as the "human garbage disposal". Anything everyone else didn't eat was put in front of me and I was told I had to eat. And they wonder why I have such problems with my weight!!! Well needless to say, when food…

Thoughts on diet soda
Does anyone have any thoughts whether diet soda slows weight loss or not? I have heard random things. I still drink more than enough water. In fact, if i replaced my diet sodas with water too, I would probably get sick from drinking so much water. I usually have one or two cans of diet soda a day, and atleast 10-14 cups of…

When you have to make non-diet food for others...staying on
Hey all, This topic used to be my greatest deterrent to starting a diet...I'm a stay-at-home mom who cooks all the meals for my DH, teenage stepdaughter and 7-month-old son. DH and daughter are the exact opposite of "dieters", if you get my drift. They love rich food (bacon, heavy cream, cheese galore, starch heaven, etc.)…

Why slow progress wouldn't be so bad
It takes a deficit of 3,500 calories to lose a pound. If we only lose a tenth of a pound every day by cutting out just 350 calories... Then in one year that's a 36.5 lb weight loss. For me, that's a nice dent in the total I need to lose.

A big step
I made a big step yesterday and I am proud of myself! So far I have been just trying to eat all the foods I want in moderation but I figured out after a couple months that just wasn't working. I havn't been able to really give up eating my comfort foods. So yesterday at the grocery store I didn't BUY my comfort chips and…
