I'm a bit confused.
I'm a newbie. Just started a few days ago. Mostly to work on eating a little healthier and to hold myself accountable on the days that I don't. (I usually have one or two days a week where I eat way too much junk. On most days I don't eat enough, period.) I would like to lose about 20 pounds however, but I do have a…

Question on processed foods
Yes, it's me again. The woman of a thousand questions :wink: So, we all know that processed foods are bad for us - but what exactly constitutes processed foods? I mean, does EVERYTHING have to be fresh from the produce section (veggies/fruits)...meat from the butcher...?? We don't have a lot of room to store a lot of fresh…

probably will get some flack, but asking anyway...
HI all, So, I've only very recently re-started my weight loss journey, and then I found this site. I know there is no "magic" way to lose weight fast - and that it is unhealthy to do so. But, is there anything I can do to jumpstart things? I remember the last time I lost weight (about 4 years ago and with weight watchers)…

Plateau...
I'm wondering if someone can explain this or reference a thread that helps to explain this concept. So I've never been one to believe in the "lose weight fast and easy" miracle diets. About 6 years ago I got tired of being over weight and I completely changed my lifestyle. I ate lots of fruits and veggies, cut out…

Miracle sweet berry.
So maybe some of you have heard of this berry from Africa. It apparently coats your taste buds for about 30 minutes to two hours, and it makes acidic and sour things sweet. I was wondering if anyone had tried these? They're expensive ($3-$5 a berry, $2 a piece for tablets), so I want to try them and see if they'll help me…

Just those last 10lbs?
Just found this online and thought Id share it: enoy! You know what I like to call those last 10 or 15 pounds that won't come off no matter what you do? Vanity pounds. The term describes our desire to lose weight that, as far as our bodies are concerned, actually feels healthy. Today's society pressures us to want to look…

Warning - DO judge this one by it's cover!!!
I'm not much for reality TV but I recognized Jillian Michael's from BL and bought her "30 Day Shred" DVD. I thought if this was stuff out of shape people could do on a prgram it must be a cinch (you know, now that I've been working out for weeks). HAH! When she says "shred", she sooooooo means it! I couldn't even do it…

anyone with Implanon bc implant?
I got this put in last fall, thinking it would be a cheaper option for me rather than the patch. (I can't take pills successfully). Much to my dismay, I ended up paying almost $1000 for it and will only save money if it is in for all three years. I will save the last 3 months. Anyway, since having it in I have gained…

Pounds vs. Inches
I know that the more accurate measurement of your progress as far as weight loss is concerned is measuring how many inches you've lost instead of pounds, due to water retention, muscle building, fat burning, etc. But I have a question and I haven't been able to find a truly satisfactory answer to it. Maybe someone here can…
