Question??? Please help!
This is the first time I have ever tracked my calories, so this question is probably a no-brainer to all of you. When I make something homemade like chile, do I add all the calories and proteins ect. of all of the ingredients together and then guess on how many servings it would feed? Also I don't know how to tell how much…

Interesting question about the calorie deficit.
I tracked the last 21 days, from Jan. 1 to Jan 21. I had actually started before that but just did the tracking at that time. I was at 257 on 1/1 and dropped to 239 on 1/21. I am very happy with that, BUT..... I tracked my calorie deficit during that time using this sites program and I had a deficit of 27, 557 calories.…

You know what I really hate?????
I hate it when I am actually starting to feel good about my weight loss and fitness and boom I see a photo (recent) of myself that I look like a moose in. For example...I went out and bought a new dress for my hubbie's company Christmas party. I was feeling good about myself and then the pictures come back. OMG, I look…

treadmill for the money?
Need some good advice... My wife is dead set on purchasing a treadmill so she can exercise indoors. I truthfully told her lets just run outside and save the money. I just feel treadmills are overpriced and I do hate the gym. So if you were to buy one or own one already , what would you recommend? She wants one that at…

How much water do you drink?
I've heard in the past that drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces is great for weight loss ( I heard this through Weight Watchers) I tried it and it really did make a big difference. Now actually getting back into that habit is a whole 'nother battle! So how much do you drink?

How often do you weigh yourself?
Trying not to be compulsive but it is so hard for me NOT to weigh myself daily. I know I would probably be happier with results if I just did it once a week but I can't make myself wait. How often do you weigh yourself?

MYTH
ok, I am seeing a lot of people on here saying that muscle weighs more than fat....NOT TRUE Muscle is leaner and fat is bulkier. This is one of the reasons it is good to take your measurements at the start of a weight loss journey. Just to clarify, a pound is a pound is a pound. A pound is 16oz of whatever product. You…

Healthy Workplace???
If you are like me the workplace can be a huge diet trap filled with all the wrong foods (and I work in a hospital, go figure).

ou on a diet
I found a book a while back called "You on a diet" It was by far the most informative book I have ever read on how the body processes the stuff you eat, why we feel full, or don't. What are the danger areas. It is by far, in my opinion, the best book out there for people who need to diet. It is not so much a diet, like…

Confessions from a happy weightloss pal
Hi there, I was over last night by about a 1000 calories, but I had fun and I don't regret it. I saw a great band(Chasin Mason-they are from Wisconsin) and even won a raffle! I learned something from it and I got right back on track the next morning. I actually miss the hungry feeling. Anyone else feel that way at times? I…
