I didn't buy weights specifically but my stability ball, came with 2 soft medicine balls; plus I have a Total Gym Fit (whereas my body weight, is the weight; that I'll be lifting but I haven't used it yet).

If you have a deficit in Calories, without exercising; you'd lose weight anyway. I believe that eating back exercise Calories, is a way to treat yourself; without gaining or just maintaining one's weight. You don't "need" to eat back the exercise Calories, if you've consumed enough Calories; to maintain a healthy daily…

I bought a bunch of exercise equipment, however I've been spending so much time; rearranging furniture & putting it together, that I'll most likely lose all of the weight; that I desire to/before I actually make use of most of it because doing all of that alone, is exercise; lol.

I've never chosen anything from their "Database", I always just use "Create Food" instead & don't ever add to their database either because they then won't allow you to remove it from your personal list, also if you do. The only thing that you are able to do currently, if you'd like to fix this; is to delete your current…

Another problem with surgery is that, you'll most likely lose a lot of weight so fast; that you'll have excess skin. If you do choose surgery & then have extra skin, possibly you could have it removed for free (I don't know how much/if at all insurance would cover this procedure); if you donate it to a burn unit/for skin…

My freezer is almost bare, I've been attempting to clear it of processed foods; I only have two pierogies & an unopened box of sandwich steaks. My Refrigerator is almost all Swiss Colony. I'd never ordered from them before but when I tried what my Mother bought, during the holidays; I then ordered some myself. I didn't…

The only thing I fear is accidentally breaking the equipment because I don't know how to use anything commercial grade, so it's extremely intimidating. Also since I've never been to a gym, I don't know how to navigate that world & I hate asking for help. It seems that people believe that at my age (34), I should already…

Wow you seem almost like me, I sometimes only go #2 once every 2 weeks yet I don't suffer from constipation, it's as if my body just absorbs everything; I eat. Although I also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & therefore assume that I don't produce enough energy, for my body to be able to digest; rather than absorb most of…

I understand this because I just recently gained about 2 Pounds but my waistline, stayed the same; although when I started & weighed less, at that time; my waist was larger.

I am not a fan of chocolate, unless it's white chocolate, fudge and/or the milk/dark chocolate, contains something along with the chocolate; such as Kit Kat bars because it has wafers, to go along with the chocolate; it isn't just strictly a chocolate bar. Most Jelly Belly jelly beans, are only 4 Calories each; eat 6 of…

I currently have refrigerated sweets, that I just don't want to trash because I don't want to waste them but they expire in 12 days & I'll finish them, by then. I know that I can't do without sweets, for the entire duration of my diet; especially during my time of the month. So my decision is to, eat sweets; that're the…

Your version, seems like a Lunchables type of a pizza; to me.

I'd just make my own instead because you have control, about what it's made of/how much you make; plus you can accurately measure the Calories, etc.

I've been sleepy/busy today, I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; so I am building a home gym instead because sometimes, just the walk across a parking lot; is enough of a workout for me.

If it's apart of your daily lifestyle, I'd say no to adding it but if it doesn't occur for at least 2 weeks, then add it. This also depends upon what type (gentle/rough), whose doing most of the work (top/bottom), how long it went on & how often that particular day.

My Username signifies, when I began my diet!

cwolfman13 thank you very much, I'll definitely look into getting one. Especially since I often can't find the type of exercise that I am doing, to calculate it; so I just consider it to be Aerobics & use the most time that it takes to burn a Calorie.

This also depends upon, if it's around the time of your menstrual cycle, also when you consume a lot of sodium and/or you haven't had a bowel movement in a couple of days. I try to avoid weighing myself, at least a week before my menstrual cycle; due to water retention. Possibly might be a combination of all 3.

I'd just focus on exercising your torso.

That's why I didn't diet as a teenager, I didn't go on my 1st diet; until I was 25 years old because the brain isn't fully developed until about the age of 24, I wanted to be certain that I was mature enough; to handle my health responsibly. Besides I wasn't obese at the time, although I was only 4 Pounds away; from being…

I have 48 Pounds to lose, even if I was able to lose 2 Pounds every week; that's 24 weeks. Sticking with this for nearly 6 months, it'd be impossible for me; if I didn't set sooner goals for myself. For instance I've chosen significant celebratory days, in between; to weigh/measure myself & if I am unsatisfied with the…

The reason why lifestyle, shouldn't count toward the Calories that one burns; is because our bodies become accustomed to this. It's sort of like doing, just one type of exercise; for longer than a couple of weeks.

Yeah but I'd like to do it in the privacy of my own home. I wish that I'd be able to install one but I reside in an apartment.

I have to, to prevent leftover food from going to waste; if it isn't in individual packaging.

Nothing that I am aware of is safe, except sugar in moderation. I've been using Stevia myself & notice that it causes me to have headaches (same effects of Aspartame, with me as well), as soon as I go through my current/last box of it; I'll only use sugar. Unfortunately sometimes in our quest to be healthy, we make…

I have an idea, how about not substituting at all; I'd just use an equal combination of a healthier than normal version of pasta & vegetable pasta! So that I'll technically be consuming the same amount of "pasta", as I prefer to; while reducing Calories, etc. & therefore don't entirely do without regular pasta's…

You're very much welcome/take care & good luck to you as well!

1st I'd like to congratulate you, with understanding; that we don't always know it all & also for not being too proud/to seek professional help! 2nd I'll caution you as well, that a doctor's solutions to your problems; mostly stem from the information you provide/about yourself. Basically meaning that no one knows you/your…

ILiftHeavyAcrylics: Thank you very much/will do!

ILifeHeavyAcrylics: Thank you for clarifying, yes I do use measuring cups/spoons; when I am dieting. I definitely understand having water retention, especially during my menstrual cycle; which is why I avoid weighing/measuring myself then. While I just began logging on here yesterday, I've been dieting, exercising,…
