in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I am new to this web site, but not new to losing weight. I have already lost most of what I need to lose and I am here for the last 14 pounds. I know it will probably be the hardest part (besides starting the journey), but after losing 130, I think I am up for the challenge. Good Luck to everyone just starting and congratulations to those that have been working at living healthier.

    Becareful when the scale is your only measure. I would recommend getting a body analysis done. Your local gym or doctor can do this for you. See what percentage of body fat you have lost. I had one done 2 months ago and was worried I wasn't losing weight. I had one done last week and I have lost 6.5% body fat but had gained nearly 6lbs in muscle. That was why I hadn't seen any changes

    The secret to the food diary is this:

    1. BE HONEST!
    2. PORTIONS - BE HONEST HOW MUCH YOU EAT

    Then review and make changes. Also, just because it says you have earned an extra 600 calories doesn't mean you get to use them. Stick to your calorie goal and don't go over just because you worked out.

    Good luck and WELCOME!

    I've been doing this for two months now. I really haven't lost anything. I yo-yo and Iknow my problem is exercising. I have knee problems, so I can't do alot, like the stairmaster or eliptical. i can't walk that far before my knee gives out. I'm sticking to my calories, but I'm getting frustrated becasue I'm not loosing. It keeps telling me I should loose a pound a week, but I'm not. any suggestions out there.:sad:
