  • Weight loss happens in the kitchen, so if your goal is to lose weight concentrate on eating right. Squeeze in a workout when you can. You really just need to prioritize and quality time with the family may just be more important than spending an hour in the gym. Hope that is helpful, best of luck!

  • I weigh twice a day but only log the morning weight. I am a little nerdy when it comes to data collection ;) I don't get wound up about daily fluctuations so it works for me.

  • I am 46 and I have lost 58 lbs since Sept. I got fed up with how I looked and there was no way I was going to hit 300 lbs. It was at that point, where I was fed up, that my lifestyle changed. I completely gave up soda and donuts, they are my kryptonite. We make smarter choices with the foods we eat, cook from scratch using…

  • 37 lbs in 68 days, so .544 lbs a day or 3.8 lbs per week. A little faster than planned but I don't always eat my daily quota or eat back my exercise calories. I eat if I am hungry and I have cals left unless it's after 8 pm.

  • As far as exercise goes, it is so much easier if you enjoy what you are doing. I picked up mountain biking and cycling in general. I love to ride and I jones for it if the weather is non-compliant. Some people are that way with running, walking and swimming. I can't stand working out in a gym and will find all number of…

  • Fortunately, my coworkers are supportive. You look stunning, ignore them and do your thing!

  • I ride as much as I can. I prefer trail riding but I will road ride if I cannot get to the trails. Low impact and a hell of a cardio workout. Regarding derriere and seats, you can get fitted for a proper saddle. A large bum doesn't mean you need a tractor seat, you sit on a saddle on your "sit" bones. If you are…
    in Cycling a decent alternative to running? Comment by jeepskate November 2014
  • Riding more either on your bike or on a stationary is going to help. Gains do come on rather quick, just stick with it!

  • I think there is a such thing as too much water, at least for me. I was crushing 10-14 cups a day and all I did was run to the bathroom, a lot. I also think that I was retaining more than normal for some reason and it reflected on the scale. I cut back to no more than 10 per day and BAM, weight started coming off again. It…

  • My wife and I eat the same meals. I use the recipe builder and measure out a serving for myself. She doesn't count calories, btw. I eat pretty much whatever I want as long as I am within my calorie budget. I haven't quite figured out how to cook with my macros in mind and I blow it pretty much every day on fat, carbs and…

  • Made these this weekend. Used plain low fat greek yogurt, added a little vanilla extract and added in some blueberries. They were so delicious!
