Rates vary from person to person, so it's crucial that you take the time to learn yours. Once you know your TEE, you will be able to balance your caloric intake and expenditure in a totally…

Changing Perspective - an overeating challenge
I've decided I can no longer focus about the weight on the scale. That approach worked in the beginning, but it's working now so it's time for a change. I've decided to make a goal of making it 30 days straight without overeating! (Including the exercise calories :happy: ) I keep thinking "I'm doing good" but looking back…

What is your reward once you reach your goal?
So.. I have been thinking of rewarding myself, once I have reached my goal that I felt I would never 1. attempt 2. reach or 3. maintain. So, I am curious if anyone else has a reward item in mind once they reach their goal? I absolutely love photography and think I may splurge and buy the SLR camera I really have been…

to be brutally honest, have any of you seemed to "lose" frie
Oops I guess my subject line was too long but I was saying, to be honest have any of you seemed to lose friends as you have lost some weight?? I don't know how else to say it but I remember years ago reading that friends (girls in particular) sometimes try to sabotage one another's weight loss efforts. I have always been…

I'm back!
10 pounds came back with me , but I'm back!

But Im better now and the food tracking has started and the exercise routine is is full swing on Monday :) right…

(yes bad) Fast forward to yesterday I worked out in the am and by last night I was crying it hurt so bad. I have a doctors appointment today to see if I stress fractured it.…

The price of Complacency!
If you are doing well and think well maybe a day won't matter. Think again! One day led to another, I stopped walking, stopped logging and the price of complacency is high. I went from 160 to 178 over a 3 month period. Don't let this happen to you! I will fight back to where I was but I know it will take time and it just…

Almost 10 pounds and feeling alive!
I am near it and I can't believe that I can feel it already. Two months ago, I never thought I'd even make it out of "obese" range and now I am only 3 pounds away from no longer being in "obese" range. Even with the holidays, I stuck to my exercise and good eating (for the most part). I went for some blood work today. Just…

Stupid holidays Part 2
Okay, so a couple weeks ago I posted a "Stupid holidays" dealio. I'd gained back 5 pounds with all of the over indulging I did. After my whiny post I started back with counting my calories and working out. Well, this morning it paid off. Those stupid 5 pounds are gone! Sooo...just a reminder to everyone who is discouraged…

Goals without a weight attached
So is anyone else out there working towards a goal that is not a number on a scale? Although I had to pick a "goal weight" for my profile, my real goal is to fit into a pair of jeans that hasn't fit me in 1 1/2 years. I am doing a lot of toning with weights to try to slim down my physique, but I also understand that…

Sorry, posted under wrong forum topic I think???
I wanted to share my "regime" for those of you that might be doing the same, and even, feeling the same as I do sometimes. There are lots of people here doing lots of different routines to burn calories, eat right etc. I walk for my daily exercise(well usually 6 days a week). My walking partner nwfamilygal and I were…

The Importance of Walking....... FUNNY
Importance of Walking Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month. My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60.. Now he's 97 years old and we don't know where he is. I like long walks,especially when they are…
