I saw this on the Today show & figured I would give it a try again. I am back on the dieting wagon. I gained almost 30 lbs from my current job (desk job) and am finally to the point where I'm tired of wanting to break the mirror every time I see myself in it. Hope this works! Look forward to hopefully making some new buddies...:happy:

Hi Kategirl...I hope you find this tool helpful. I sure do! I also know having people to talk to who are trying to lose weight too is really helpful. Good Luck!

I'll be your buddy! I've done Weight Watchers and other diet programs but this one is by far the best. You gotta make the life change and make it a life habit. I was watching Jillian Michaels on GMA and she says that the counting calories has to be a lifetime change. She said she'll be 80 and counting calories. You also have to workout at least 30 mins a day to maintain. Make a lifetime habit. I've made my habit and it has seemed so easy this time. I know that if I don't stretch my calories throughout the day, I don't get to eat. If I want something special, I make room for it throughout the day. This has been a God-send and it 's FREE. :laugh: How much better can life be? I've lost 23 lbs in 45 days.... God bless you on your weight loss journey!! :flowerforyou:

Hi Tammy

Thanks for offering to be my buddy! I actually was on Weight Watchers for awhile before I got really sick. I lost about 20 lbs in 2 months. Then I injured my neck & back & was ordered by the dr to take a few weeks off work & couldnt do anything but lie on the couch. I was pretty much living on pain killers & gained all my weight back plus some! I dont attend meetings anymore but have been keeping track of my points on my own. It's been tough for me to stay focused since I keep getting discouraged but i'm hoping that i'll succeed this time!

Hi Tammy
I am new here too Just wondering how did you lose 23Ib in 45 days? What did you do beside of the cal count? What kind of work out do you do? I am trying to lose weight as much as I can I am just tired of being over weight!

Keeping a journal of what I eat and that it calculates everything for me keeps me so motivated I love it!

I keep a journal too by doing it on my phone. I actually download Calorie Counter when I first got my phone in April. i had no idea that this site was responsible for it, but I'm happy to know that it is. I raved about that program to everyone after my first week of using it. I think its the best program i've ever downloaded....so useful! Now if only they could make it for the palm platform too!

Hi, I play JUST DANCE for 45 mins and a lil Wii fit plus. I walk about 2-3 times a week. Some one told me for me to be able to lose weight i need to burn 500-1,000 calories everyday. He said to do Cardio but, I dont know any Cardio exercises. Can you help me out?

gypsy_nurse

I heart Turbo Jam! Granted I am totally uncoordinated so i look like a 'tarded bean when I try anything dance-y but I enjoyed the workouts a lot.
