@Nuke_64: Obviously I'm not going to be able to sustain a 1.8lb/wk loss (as demonstrated the last 2 wks), but I'm not starving myself and I'm not working out like a maniac. I thought I was working out a healthy amount and I was eating the calorie amount the nutritionist told me to eat. I don't feel like my weight loss was…

@kalysta23 and @Caitwn thank you for the suggestions related to weight/resistance training. I have just started to add this into my workouts, so I appreciate the information. I have only been weighing myself once a week so as not to focus on the numbers so much, but maybe I should increase that now to see the fluctuations…

@Mr_Knight: Yes, most of the "homemade" titles are my own recipes. I write down every ingredient I use, calculate all the calories, fat, etc. and then divide by the number of servings to arrive at the calories per serving. The "non-salad salad" is a name I give my homemade tomato, mozzarella, basil salad.

@Nuke_64 : I've opened it.

@Nuke_64: I started at 155 and currently weigh 134. My BMR is 1350 (I had a test done). I may eat 100 or so calories more than I'm aware of, but there's no way I'm eating A LOT more than 1100. I write down the calories in every tomato or apple or coffee creamer I use. Plus I read package nutrition information for…

@joolieb1: I saw a nutritionist before I began my weight loss journey and she set that goal based on my resting metabolic rate. My total weight loss goal is 35lbs.

@GambierMightyMom: I used all the weight machines in the gym, about 30 reps, between 20-30lbs, 2 cycles once last week and once this week. @kkenseth: I always weigh myself 1st thing in the morning after my shower; usually only once a week. @PuckTard: I'm afraid of gaining the weight back if I eat more calories. How do I…

GET THE RIGHT SHOES!!! This is soooo important if you are taking your walking/running seriously. I began walking and within a month, my lower back hurt so bad I thought I might have to quit. I talked to a trainer and read lots of stuff online about lower back pain and figured the easiest solution would be to get quality…

Just keep at it Suger. It's going to take time, but you ARE beginning to lose, and you're getting healthier in the mean-time, that's what's most important. Keep walking those grocery aisles, park far away at the store, every little bit helps your body. There's plenty of suggestions in here for good eating habits so I won't…

I'm worried about the same thing when we travel 25 hrs upcoming in July. I'm planning on bringing lots of water, fresh whole fruits, celery sticks, carrots, Bumble Bee tuna or chicken salad snack packs, granola bars, almonds, trail mix, dry cereal, and anything else I can think of that will help keep me on track!! It's so…

I was able to go away with my husband for the weekend and not gain any weight!! It's so difficult to vacation or travel and not be able to control the way food is cooked. I find it a little scary eating out and not being able to plan my food choices ahead. This gives me hope that I will be able to maintain my weight once I…

featchy1 I can totally relate. I'm 46 and it's been VERY difficult to lose weight this time around. I fully expected to lose about 10lbs a week!! LOL....no joke. I just expected it to fall off. And I'm the type of person that needs results quickly or I give up. So I started "watching" what I ate, and nothing happened. I…

Getting started is the hardest, but now you've done it! I've got 20 yrs on you, and am trying to accomplish about the same amount of loss (35lbs for me). It CAN be done!! It's a lot of work and dedication, but you can totally do this!!
-
Good for you! You're almost there!! Congratulations and keep up the good work! :)

I know it can seem like an overwhelming amount of weight to lose, but it can be done, you just have to stick with it. Some days may be slow and some quicker, but it WILL come off. Keep an image of where you want to go within eye site to remind you what you're working for. My husband lost 110 lbs in one year, but he was…

When I started this journey 5 weeks ago, I hit it the same way as you, and wanted everything to fall off the first week! LOL, I felt the same way. "If I can sit on my *kitten* and do nothing and maintain my weight, or eat less and exercise three times a week, and maintain my weight, why the hell would I want to exercise…
