Stupid Question...
ok...I am really dumb when it comes to dieting. Ive only been doing this for less than a week, but every day after I add up my calories, I am under anywhere from 200-300 calories.

Kind of frustrated
So I guess I had a cheat day yesterday. I knew I was going out to eat (fast food unfortunately) with my work for lunch. So I planned out my breakfast and dinner because I knew how bad the fast food would be. I ordered a chicken salad and water. By the end of the day, I was right at my target caloric intake for the day. So…

A Natural Appetite Suppressant
Found this in an article: Bring the color blue into your life more often. There's a good reason you won't see many fast-food restaurants decorated in blue: Believe it or not, the color blue functions as an appetite suppressant. So serve up dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue…

Ok, I started last week dieting and exercising. I also signed up on here this week. I am excited about losing weight and everything. But I thought that I would give out some encouragement. This morning I decided to try on a pair of jeans that I couldn't wear. I had "outgrown" them. Well, I put them on and prayed while…

fasting
So many people on this site are really opposed to fasting im wonder why not only is fasting a way to lose weight but it can sometimes be the best medicine. it does wonders for your skin, it can prevent or cure illness, and it also can be a very spiritual expierence if fasting is combined with prayer or meditation. "Within…

Young people
I have noticed a lot more young people on the site. I think that is fantastic. I wish a tool as great as this site was around when I was 18 to 25. Perhaps I would have never gone down chunky highway.

Sabotage!!!
I was wondering if anyone else had someone in their family that intentionally or unintentionally tries to sabotage their way of eating. My sabotager likes to eat, but really isn't that much overweight. He likes fattening food, and his body can metabolize it mine can't. When we have mashed potatoes he adds about one whole…

This is my rant for the week
I have managed to lose about five pounds since Christmas, which is a good thing. I have needed to for awhile. One of the things I hate most about being overweight is when someone tells me that all I have to do is "eat right and exercise and the weight will come off", as though repeating that mantra will somehow motivate me…

Dosha type
I am a firm believer that mental/spiritual health is just as important as physical health. Has anyone looked into their dosha types and ate healthy according to it? I am just curious if it does truly benefit you as a whole. I was reading up on it last night, and my dosha type fits me to a tea but I never workout the way…

Calories left over-Before or after exercising?
Hi, I'm kinda new to this and I have a question. I know there have been posts like this before, but I'm not sure I understand. I eat 1200 calories a day (that is my goal) and I usually exercise off around 500 calories. At the end of the day I usually have 500 calories left. Is this the 500 calories that I should have left…
