How many calories for each meal please
If I follow the 1200 calories, what is the breakup for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack or is it just to meet the 1200 totals? Karen.

What was your "lightbulb moment"?
When did you realize that you needed to do something about your weight, lifestyle and eating habits? For me, it was when the size 16 jeans I had JUST BOUGHT were too small:noway: :cry: I knew then I had to do something. My grandmother died of a heart attack at age 49, and her weight was a factor. My aunt is also overweight…

Defeating the purpose?
I'm confused. When I excercise and I burn say 400 calories, it give me an extra 400 calories to eat that day. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of excercise? I really don't want to follow that rule. :noway:

I'm so proud of myself!
Yesterday I went to the gym thinking that I gained 6 pounds just to get on the scale to find out that I actually lost 7 pounds! I got on that scale 4 times just to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me, but the scale didn't lie! I'm so proud of myself, I have 15 more pounds to lose before I reach my short term goal…

He always leaves great comments on these topics" - only to realize that Banks HAD replied and I just didn't recognize him with the new profile. :laugh: Guess I'm going to have to start paying more attention to people's profile…

anyone else feel like the gym scale isn't honest?
Maybe I'm just paranoid, maybe I've seen 'Dodgeball' one too many times, but I feel like the scale at my gym isn't right. I know it's been worked on before so how often can those things get messed up? Is it just wishful thinking?:grumble:

Update on my nephew
I heard from my mom about him last night, he is doing much better, has not had another seizure, but is being kept in intensive care so they can try and find out what's going on. Thanks to everyone for their kind words, and I know that God was watching and listening to all our prayers. I will keep you updated. Kerri

How did you get overweight?
Hi, I thought it might help some of us to examine our thoughts and habits as to why we became overweight in the first place. I had decided I was going to eat what I wanted and not worry about it. Well after doing that for several years, I gained 40 lbs. I also think I did not realize how important it is to examine the…
