  • But I also just add my ingredients seperate. Once you have added them they are saved and next time you eat the same thing it's easier since you can just click to add
  • To find recipe builder when you go to you diary and add foods just scroll over to recipes and you can add recipes
  • Back trying to lose the weight I gained while injured also! Good luck to you we can do this
  • Add me too! I'm also pretty active with quite a bit to lose. After a couple injuries that left me unable to exercise for months I gained back most of the 50 pounds I had lost...Depressing I know but now that I can move again looking to do this again for good this time.
  • I also use trendweight and find it helpful. As long as my graph goes down I don't worry about the numbers. Also found measuring and taking pictures weekly a big help. When the scale hasn't moved in awhile I will look at a picture and compare it to one a couple months old and I can see the difference there that I can't see…
  • I just bought my first bikini yesterday! But I'm not sure I'll have the guts to wear it. Hoping to lose 10 lbs or so before summer and hopefully then I can rock it. I bought a really cute one with a high waisted bottom to cover my little bit of extra skin. Can't wait for some warm weather!
  • I have big fluctuations too which really does make it hard to see changes. I find mine is from when I eat more or less carbs so water weight. Do you keep your carbs around the same amount everyday? Or do they change? Also sodium. One thing that seems to help me is when I drink a lot of water. Try using trendweight or a…
  • I have some on my belly and ive been using that skin tightening cream on it and also a glycolic acid peel. It seems to be helping very slightly. Not as much as id like but maybe it will just take more time. As old skin comes off and new is made im hoping it will be tighter and tighter. Congrats on your weight loss that is…
  • Has anything else changed? Less exercise or more? More or less carbs? And is it fat gain or just weight gain. My weight changes all the time depending on tom, water retention, glycogen levels etc. One meal can not cause weight gain 2 weeks later. But there are 100s of things that can cause the scale to move in either…
  • Does it maybe have to do with the fact that you have to be accountable to other people when your paying bills going to work etc. Even getting to bed on time is so that you will be rested for the next day at work right? But for food you are only accountable to yourself. You may think if you eat too much it effects only you…
  • Im not sure if its from age or just losing weight but after losing almost 50 pounds my goals have changed. When i started i just wanted to lose some weight and be smaller and healthier now i have certain look im going for with lifting and exercise that when i started i never even considered. I think for me the fact i was…
  • Are you breastfeeding? It uses a lot of calories and will help you drop the weight without cutting calories too much. Just remember you need nutritious food to heal and recover. Also be kind to your body you made a baby thats an amazing thing but pregnancy changes a woman's body and you may not look exactly the same as you…
  • If you are just starting out you may want to record your calories for a few days and find out how much you have been eating and tyen make a 20 percent cut from there. Everyone's body's are different and the calcutators just give an average. Then if you plateau you have more room to cut more. Plus ita much easier on the…
  • Squats planks burpees pushups will help and can be done with no equipement
  • Do you belong to a gym or do you need all exercises that can be done at home without equipment? Sorry to say this but by looking at your dream body pic..that takes a lot of work to acheive. A lot of lifting etc that you will have a hard time acheiving with no equipment or gym. Doing body weight exercises will help…
  • Reading the gift of fear right now about this topic for a violent offenders psych class. Talks a lot about how certain people are victimized over others and how not to be a victim ever and trust your intuition. Might be a good read for you. Ive always been the type yo be scared to be rude to someone...but sometimes you…
  • You are eating at matience if you havnt lost in a year. You could cut out the wine for a couple months to lose the last few pounds. Although i like to drink once in awhile too so understand thats hard to do! You are also at your body's set point... the weight it wants to be at. So you may find that your body will shift…
  • Im a single mom too who also works and is in school full time. So totally get where u are coming from. I joined my local YMCA so that when i work out the kids can swim or play. They also have child care there for younger kids. When i dont feel like going i exercise with the kids by making it a game. We make obstacle…
  • Yeah i know that articles do not always site the research correctly thats why id like to see the actual research not just a write up about it. Cant seem to find it for free though it wants me to pay to read it. No thanks dont need it bad enough for that. But if someone has it already please msg me and email to me!
  • Have u been checked by a doctor for thyroid issues? If u really cant lose weight and are logging accurately might be time for a doctors appointment.
  • has anyone seen that Harvard study that showed more fat loss for those eating healtheir and less carbs then just calorie restriction. I know I've seen it but cant seem to find it now. No idea hoe accurate but if i recal the study correctly the Harvard scientists seemed to think that food quality did matter a bit.
  • Once you get your anxiety under control you will be able to tackle your weight. For now you may just want to try and eat healthy and exercise but not worry about the weight until you get the rest under control. Throw away your scale or hide it if you have too. It sounds as though you have ocd tendencies with food and…
  • Im a single working mom and i workout early in the am before the kids are awake or i also had us all join the YMCA. I can workout while they play basketball or go swimming etc. Mine are older so they are ok doing that without me. When they were younger i joined a gym that had free babysittig while you worked out. I found…
  • have a question if any of you can help. I've been exercising and trying to eat healthier for about 8 months now and have lost about 50 lbs and went from a size 18 to a size 9. so I've had some success and i feel great, but i still weigh 180 lbs. im a female about 5 7". it seems i barely ever lose any scale weight yet i…
  • just some quick advice as i started at 230lbs too. and went from a size 18 to a 9 so far. take a picture of yourself in the same clothes once a week! i had a lot of trouble seeing weight loss on myself in the mirror but could see it in the pictures. and when it got to the point that the outfit i was taking the pictures in…
  • Everyone one else in here already gave you great advice i just wanted to say congrats on your desicion to become healthy and dont ever give up you can do this!
  • My butt! Those squats are paying off and my heart because its just as huge!
  • Sometimes i lose weight in chuncks nothing for a week then all of a sudden 3 lbs overnight with water weight and hormone fluctuations you may not see the scale move daily. If you keep at it you will see it go down though as long as your eating under your numbers
