I was also a member here years ago. I tracked nearly every single calorie I put on my tongue. I watched the numbers, and i was steadily going down, losing the most I had ever lost in my life. But I graduated college, found no job, except a little weekend one that wasn't meeting my needs. Depression and anxiety have gotten…

Congratulations on being cancer free! That is awesome! My advice would be if you can't get to the gym, then make some room at home to do some at-home workouts, like Leslie Sansone, Fitness Blender...in other words, YouTube has some amazing workouts you can sort through. Or, you can see about going to Amazon.com or Ebay and…

My height is 5'4. My lowest weight I saw last was about 151. The scale blew up to like 158. I want to keep losing weight becuase I still have a huge pudgy stomach. My arms barely have definition, and I'm still a bit thick all over. I want to be completely toned.

I'm usually not a milk person, unless I have to add some to a dish I'm making. I usually get my protein from just making a cup of eggwhites. There goes my daily protein intake fulfilled right there. The only trouble from that is tons of sodium.

Yeah, I know you're right. I've worked out over guilt before, and usually the exercises are short lived becuase of that. I'll try to clear my head a little before going tonight.

There's one machine that really pumps me up so great that I have to slow down to catch my breath. The sweat pours like crazy. That's why I had suggested doing that. At least it will give my body the drive. Then if I feel up for it afterward, I'll do minimum weight training. But now that I'm seeing different opinions (which…

Alright. I'll take your advice and go do some weight training. I do those occasionally. Thanks.

Okay, I see this has kind of annoyed some people. I did something at the spur of the moment without thinking. I panicked. I sought for support, advice, and to actually learn some things, becuase I knew the forum would give me quick feedback. For example, I didn't know drinking lots of water can help with sodium. I had…

Looking back at the question, I've calmed down a bit. yes, I enjoyed myself, but I still wish I could have just eaten a couple of pieces.

It sure was good! That's why I had a hard time putting it down. But now, my body is processing it now. So, there's nothing I can do. But thank you so much for your support. :D

Thank you :)

Cupcakes are usually my kryptonite. I get what you mean. Thank you.

I'm very active in the gym. I just think no matter what I do there, it's not going to really undo things. But I'm going tonight.

Thank you! I just had some carrots actually. Wish I could have gone with that. But I'll be sure to drink lots of water.

Well it FEELS like poison. That's a lot of fat under one day. I understand I don't eat this stuff everyday. It's still feels bad though.

My sister was treating me to Dominos. I hadn't had the Brooklyn Pizza in a long time, can't remember the last time I had it. So, I thought I'd have some. I had originally planned on eating just half the box. But instead, stuffed my face.

Thanks a lot! All you have a great responses!

I guess the damage I was referring to was on the knees.

To get my protein I usually just cook egg whites in the morning. I was never a protein shake person. I've tried so hard to consume that stuff, but the taste sucks. so, I usually just cook a cup of egg whites; around 50grams of protein almost 300 calories. Not sure if that's good or bad, but that's what I do.

You Look amazing!!!! And it's awesome that you no longer have any health problems! I think that's really something you should be proud of, to have reverse all that stuff that could have killed you. It's like your body is good as new. Like you, I am amazed how much I really eat. It's important to measure. I just ate…

Well one of the best things I can say is that I grew up eating vegetables. I know that sounds weird, but as a kid, kids wouldn't touch that stuff in school. I was the one to take almost every kid's green beans, corn, broccoli, you name it. My grandmother fed me that stuff when I was so small i couldn't remember. People…

no prob!

I try to get my protein in, in the morning. I make a cup of egg whites, which gives me 50grams of protein (or so the nutrition label said). I'm not sure if that's a lot, but it definitely gives me half my daily intake of protein. I also drink out of a 24oz cup, which makes it easier for me to consume more water. I think…

I got on a scale that told me my body was 44 years old. I'm only 28. Of course these types of scales are not always accurate, but I was very concerned about what was happening inside me. I wasn't severely overweight, but mildly. I'm afraid of pain, fear of being sick and coming in and out of hospitals. This is the only…

Cupcakes are a big kryptonite for me. When I pass them at Wal-Mart, I have to fight to keep away, and usually I'm very good at that. I was about to have a simple thin crust small pepperoni pizza the other day, but did my research and saw that just one slice was a little over 300 calories. My Daily calorie bank couldn't…

I wear a smart health watch and usually put it on low sensing just incase it overestimates. It's been working for me so far. Not saying it's perfect, but it seems to be consistent when I do a number of the same workouts over and over. So, it doesn't give me random numbers.…

You could go to Amazon and look at reviews already written for that treadmill. It seems to have four stars so far, but this is within your budget, I'd get it. At least you'd have something to help you move around. Doesn't have to be a treadmill from a faraway Intelligent Planet of super beings.…

:smiley: I have 100 calories left and usually I'll exercises from Leslie Sansone's collection. She usually says each mile done is about 100 and I usually do five miles. So, I can at least reach for a 300 calorie dinner tonight. Yep, the tart won!

Candy :p

It can be quiet annoying sometimes, but even I fall into that trap of whining and complaining. I think what's missing is just education and proper research. Usually, if I go out to a buffet, I eat like a pig, even if I am trying to watch my weight.
