Depression and Weight Loss
How can I drop weight, much needed weight while being sad and depressed? I'm not medication, but sometimes I stay in bed all day and eat... that's all I do. Nothing has helped, no Doctors... nothing! I have no motivation. I had a baby a year ago and gave her away for adoption and that's killing me inside... I need to drop…

"I CAN MAKE YOU THIN" by Paul McKenna
Last week Sunday TLC had the first of 6 weeks of a weight loss program by Paul McKenna called "I can make you thin". I watched this and decided that he made sense. This motivated me to start working on my weight again. Last weeks program said: 1.Eat whenever you are hungry 2.Eat only what you want, never what you think you…

Snack time?
Just out of curiousity, I'd like to know what other people are eating between meals? I'm looking for a little variety. My favorites have been: Fiber One Cereal (I pour a cup each day & keep it on my desk to snack on) Popcorn (Pop a bowl each night & leave it on the counter) Fruits & Veges (kinda getting bored with these)…

Louisville Kentucky--a non-diet question
Completely random, I'm sorry! My husband and I are hoping to buy a house within the next year. Problem? We live in the most expensive part of the country, the northeast. We can't afford anything, and probably never will. Possible solution? Relocating to a new part of the country! (Crazy? Possibly!) We both have family in…

Off the subject..
Just wanted to share a "must be getting older" moment. My older sister has been trying to get me to take a vacation with her this summer...

Metabolism question
I have not researched this at all, it just came to me as I was reading some other posts....does metabolism have a number? Let me explain....can your doctor do a blood test (or whatever test) and tell you what your metabolism "number" is? I've heard people say that their doctor told them they have a slow metabolism, but how…

And so... there went my pants...
Okay... perhaps not so drastically, but I hadn't been wearing a belt because... well... my *kitten* held my pants up quite nicely. :grumble: It wasn't much, but today I caught my pantleg under my shoe heel several times, and hiked my pants back up several times. THAT is something that hasn't happened in awhile. It's…

Confused and Frustrated
I have always been told to eat my allowed calories and work out. This website says I get extra calories for working out? I guess I don't understand how that could work... I want to work out to drop the calories I do eat to drop weight... Right? I guess I'm just confused why this website does that.

Biggest loser Brittney
I find it comforting to see Jillian struggle with finding the proper technique to reduce Brittney's weight by a large amount. I'm sad that she was kicked off, but hearing what Jillian said to her I think is as much a testiment to how individual each body is as anything. Jillian had tried everything to increase her weight…
