I have no energy and feel weak all the time.
I have been loosing about a pound a week and eating good nutritious food but can't seem to get enough energy since dieting. I am a senior citizen, just had a physical and am healthy. I only need to lose a few more pounds. I still have a little fat on the hips I need to loose. Can a person get weak from not weighing enough?…

20 ideas to reinforce healthy lifestyle and permanent weight
I found this on MSN. I hope it helps. 1. Exercise 30 to 60 minutes each day. If time is limited, exercise for several brief periods throughout the day — for example, three 10-minute sessions rather than one 30-minute session. 2 .Eat three healthy meals during the day, including a good breakfast. Skipping meals causes…

Discouraged today...
Okay, so I did GREAT my first 2 weeks - lost 10 lbs. I understand that some of it's water weight and such. I was VERY happy with the number though. Today, the end of week 3, I got on the scale and lost NOTHING! Not even a half a pound! I went over calories last weekend but did track everything. The rest of the week I was…

Here’s what every child knows that you may have forgotten. See if you can apply some of these lessons to your daily program: 1. Everything can be a game.

Are you enjoying food more now?
I have been counting calories now for three weeks. First time ever on any kind of diet. I used to eat three bowls of cereal in the morning, just cause it was there and was tasty.

Being overweight...
Being overweight is really hard! I mean, I used to be thin and people treated me a lot differently. I try to be positive and confident but its really wearing me down. Does anyone feel this way? I am the same person I used to be, but i dont recognize myself in the mirror anymore. I just need some encouragement.

Well today I started off by stepping on the scale and it showed 3 lbs lighter. Terrific start for the day. Well that was good but when I picked up my son after…

Potlucks and treat days at work
