Hi, I just joined this week after trying another diet that just was not working out. I am really excited, but have some questions. What happens if you go over on your protien or carbs. I am having issues with balancing all of this to make it work. Any suggestions?

Lapbander struggling 1 1/2 years out, no weight loss for mon
Hello all! I had my lapband 10-2008, I lost a bunch of weight quickly in the beginning. Then I slowed way down. I went back to the dr as directed. I went up for a few months. Now I seem to be hanging around the same weight. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I feel like I have enough restriction, I don't really want more. I…

I was ready to see my process in black and white, otherwise denial and ignorance prevent me from seeing 'how big the picture really is'.

Trouble with Meals
If you are having trouble trying to figure out meals for each day I find that it is a lot less stressfull if you have the same meals for breakfast and lunch everyday. Then you don't have to worry about if you are going to go over your calories. And you have the rest of the day to figure out a acceptable dinner.

Hi
I've tried diets and logging everything I ate before, but I've never tried accessing a community of strangers for help with my weight loss. So maybe it will be the support I need to finally be able to get to my goals, without flip flopping between supporters who either tell me I don't need to loose the weight or that I'm…

I've done cardio consistently over the years to maintain a low body weight, but am also low on muscle and strength. Only recently I discovered that counting calories is what really matters for losing any fat off my pot belly, and…

My name is Calvetta, and this site was recommended to me by an ex-coworker. I've only been doing it for 5 days. So far, I really like it. It definitely keeps me aware of what I'm putting into my mouth and it really motivates me to go to the gym. I hope the motivation and encouragement will continue. Created by…
