Well, this escalated quickly! lol!

So, does your body burn muscle before fat? Why is this?

I completely agree. I have been losing approximately 4 lbs a week, BUT, I also FEEL better. more energy, I sleep better, no more acid re-flux. congratulations and keep going! :)

A couple things got me started on my journey...I went to the doctors this past May and I could not believe the scale said 206.4. I was so sad and embarassed. The very next morning I started a food diary. I had already been exercising. I cannot believe the small amount of food it takes to reach my calorie goal for the day.…

....wut

It takes time for it to stick, but once you get your Lifestyle change wheel rollin', you won't want to stop! keep going!!!! :)

Good job! You look great and more importantly, you look HAPPY! Don't stop! :)

I lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks. Basically, the same "issue" I'm not complaining lol....but same thing, 4 lbs a week.

Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home. LOVE her walking videos. Have only done about 5 so far but they are so great! Just walk! (among other exercises mixed with walking). My current favorite: http://www.amazon.com/Leslie-Sansone-Belly-Blasting-Walk/dp/B009WHD9CS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1433545316&sr=8-8&keywords=walk+at+home

For myself, for cute clothes, for my bf, for my wedding day (teehee), to be healthy, each and every day!

@2009jewellz I'd rather have the day off! lol

@ohjules59 THANK YOU! Gosh, I was beginning to think that I was the only one who turned down a donut today after all the snark I received on a message board that I started!!!!! X'D Good for you, and if you need a friend, add me!

I literally just bought a Fitbit Charge HR 2 days ago. So far, I REALLY like it. I agree that having a tracker on your wrist is going to count movements when you might be swinging your arm and not your leg, BUT, I tested this out for instance while sitting at my desk at work and reaching for the phone, typing, writing,…

@brynnsmom Good for you! :) @oldfashchic That is a good boss. How nice!

Eat to live, don't live to eat.

The whole Caps thing is killing me! :smiley: I eat greek yogurt and a banana in the morning. SO filling for me. Drink lots and lots of water too. That will really fill you up.

@professionalHobbyist what is CICO?

Thunder

I wake up at 5am and do an hr long walk, which is about 4 miles. I don't eat before. I get in the shower and eat at about 6:30am. Good Luck!

@professionalHobbyist Good for you! I feel the same way. It took a reallllly long time to realize that food is meant as energy. When you think about it that way, there is no need to go out everyday to eat a hamburger or whatever. Eat healthy, good energy for your body! @kpantoja311 Eat to live, don't live to eat!

I agree with @Brolympus . If i am feeling stressed or sad or upset, I work out. Even if it is a 30 min fast paced walk. It always takes my mind off of things! :) Good luck!

I had a cheat day two days ago where i went out to eat and got bread and creamy sauce pasta. It HIT THE SPOT! I felt soooooo guilty. I felt like a failure...at first, but i went back to my routine the very next morning! It is ok to reward and treat yourself. You are human. Enjoy some pizza and chocolate, as long as you…

Wow, congratulations. Not to mention so pretty! :)

Thanks for the article. All those snacks seem heavy for me, like the hummus and pita bread. But then again I am still learning! :)

@vinegar_husbands That is a great idea. Thanks @mrbyte I have it on tile @Meggers003 Thanks for the info! I will try replacing the batteries. I do not move it around and keep it on a flat, hard surface. I never thought about keeping it away from moisture! Thanks!

@Krystle1984 No, that is great to know, thank you. I will take them off and see how that changes things!

@Troutsy Thank you, I will definitely replace the batteries again and see what happens.

@Krystle1984 I weigh on bathroom tile and I don't usually move it around. And yes, it has cushion/ carpet feet.
