I have some before pictures, but I don't feel like I look any different having lost 17 pounds. :-/ I typically eat 3 meals and one or two snacks a day...ironically, I tend to feel less hungry if I eat bigger meals rather than a small meal and a snack later. Maybe I'll get used to the smaller amounts over time, though. I…

In two months, you may be having some muscle gain...if you are pretty close to your goal weight, I have heard that it is MUCH slower losing weight at that point, so you may just have to be forgiving and accept that the last little bit is going to take longer.

I love dancy workout videos...Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire are my favorites, but I also really like Rockin' Body and Hip Hop Abs. I have to be really careful with my knees, and the last two are a bit harder on them, so I don't do them as often. I plan to try Shaun T's new workout Cize soon, too. Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire are…

Normally if I'm able to be a bit active throughout the day and get my workouts in, I can still accomplish the 1000 calorie deficit by eating around 1700 calories a day. I have been struggling to keep my eating around 2000 calories a day with my injury, and have been burning less through daily activity, so to reach the 1000…

I joined it....not sure yet if it's my thing, but I'm willing to try a challenge or two and see if I get into it. :)

2 pounds a week is usually the maximum recommended in order to keep at a level of eating that can sustain your body, and also if you're losing faster than that, it seems to be that most people don't keep it off as well. I would agree that if you're close to your ideal weight, you probably won't be hitting 2 pounds a week.…

I'd probably be up for some of them. :)

For me personally, I don't feel hungry first-thing, but if I don't eat something for breakfast, I end up way over-eating at lunch or having unhealthy afternoon snacks because I felt fine and then let myself get to the point of ravenous before eating....and then it's hard to stop. But like they've said, it's really what…

I used to never eat breakfast....just wasn't hungry until I'd been up for a couple hours. I started getting things that didn't feel like I was eating much and having them on the way to work to get my metabolism going again and hold me until lunchtime. I tend to get things like Slim Fast shakes, or you can buy other healthy…

Hey guys...I hate having to say this, but I'm up about a pound and a half today from last week. I'm fairly sure it's just water weight from eating too much salt, since I've eaten out 4 out of the past 5 days. I have been logging all my calories and definitely shouldn't have actually gained weight, so I guess I just have to…

I struggle a lot with binge eating too, and I have found that the two things that help me the most are tracking calories, and exercise. If I exercise, I am less likely to want to eat junk food overall. So if you can get on a regular schedule, you'll hopefully have less cravings...and log everything you eat, no matter how…

I hear you, jcorrea24! Eating junk was almost what I lived for for a long time!! I have found that for me what makes the biggest difference is exercise. I'm not sure why, but when I'm working out almost every day it is SO much easier to resist eating junk food! On my rest day for the week I struggle a lot more to eat well…

Current weight: 272 Goal weight: 135 August goal: 264 (2 pounds a week) August goal: 6 workouts a week with one rest day

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 35 and started slowly gaining weight in my early 20s. I tend to eat for emotional reasons, so every time something bad happened in my life, I put on more weight. I would eat moderate and healthy in public, but binge like crazy in private. I have lost 19 pounds so far, and am on a good roll with a workout…

Nice to meet you ladies. :) I think it will be helpful having some people who struggle with the same things I do. I touch base with a couple of out of state friends regularly about our exercise and diet, but sometimes it is hard, because they are relatively healthy already and really don't understand things like emotional…

I have lost and regained weight multiple times as well. It gets hard to even admit to people in your life that you're trying to lose, because you've failed so many times that you are embarrassed to even mention the subject. This is the time that I am going to give my all to becoming healthy and making it stick, though. I…

I'd like to give it a shot, too. :)
