Really appreciate your response Mike - never even heard of the C2 forum, even though that's the machine I use - I'll definitely check it out. I'm prone to inflammation related injuried (hips, knees, ankles, wrists) I've had injuries everywhere - so my issue is more needing to go slow so that I stay injury free. I love to…

I'm not sure why i finally started losing weight, but I'm now down over 7 pounds, and my measurements are finally moving too. This is very unscientific, but it feels like my body was saying 'yeah right, you'll stop this diet nonsense soon,so might as well hold onto the weight'. It took a full 4-5 weeks before I lost more…

ok, said I wouldn 't come back - but I guess I lied - here I am. I weigh daily, and take measurements daily too - to the person who would like to believe I made up inches lost. Really? You so crazy. Just wanted to say I've now lost an additional 3 pounds - that's from Saturday and Sunday. So you see, THAT's why I didn't…

Final post from me - thank you all who weighed in thoughtfully and kindly. So here are my parting thoughts. Most importantly - though I still have not lost weight, when I measured this morning, I have lost 1-1.5 inches each on chest, hips, waist, and each thigh. Now I feel better - my body is changing things, even if it…

thank you for the encouragement. you get more flies with honey....

Actually, with all the items you mention, those are pre-weighed. If you buy one pound of crab legs at the store, you know it's one pound. If you always buy the same pack of deli ham, with a weight on it, you can divide the number of slices by the weight to know how much a certain number of slices weigh. So how about you…

Some folks have been quite nasty and offensive - you haven't been one of them. I brought up the 'why' because someone asked - no condolences asked for or necessary Do you believe 30-40 minute workouts are short? I stated I moved from 12-20 minute workouts to 30-45 minute workouts last week - after several months of…

.13 c = slightly more than 2 tbsp 0 oz popcorn is logged because popcorn copied from a different day, and there was no way to delete it. when i can't delete from ios, i just set amount to 0. etc, etc. thank you for looking at my diary to see if you could find anything that would help.

I'm not sure what my BF is - though I read above someone's comment that my BF might be higher - I think that's probably highly likely. We live rurally and cut all our own logs and then split the wood manually to supply our heat. This past year I didn't help my husband with this chore, so in the past, I defintely had a lot…

because what i did wrong had nothing to do with the weight loss part. I lost from 150-132. I had hoped to lose to 127-130. I went a couple of months without losing and thought, ok, maybe I've hit a plateau. Maybe I should take a break for a bit, maintain this weight, and then come back and lose the last 3-5 pounds. I…

Nope - if you used measuring cups/spoons, and do the same thing later, you can be certain you were doing the same thing - because you are.

One other difference I just realized - I'm been exercising betw. 1-3 pm, instead of around 7 am. Could that make a difference? That you silpeanut for the ideas. It's nice to at least hear that someone else has replicated effort with a different result. I weigh but I also take body measurements, because sometimes I will…

can anyone offer comments on why I would have different results doing exactly the same things, with the same starting weight, only 1 year apart. Thank you for the water idea. That is something I can think is probably different. Last year I worked in an environment where I drank hot herbal tea all day long. This time…

No - you are wrong - a scale is not the issue. If it was the issue, I would not have lost weight last year. Using a scale is a thoughtless pat answer on these boards - which is why I say that. I lost all my weight last year without a scale, by measuring. I am doing exactly the same thing now. That is the issue I want help…
