Good point. Makes me think about how I treat others at family functions.

It shouldn't matter if he "bangs on about it" or not. The fact is that ridiculing her and trying to bring her down isn't right. I am sure her family is no different the most people's everyone goes on and on about things that the others don't care about but u don't humiliatethem or try to derail them!

I would have to say nothing in fact now that I am eating healthier and staying under my calories I love it I got a friend to start doing cardio with me because I thought I would quit if I didn't have that motivation and now I actually like working out by myself lok I know that this might not be the norm but thought I would…

140 is not under weight! I would assume that most of your family is jelous and the way for them to feel better about themselves is to try to bring u down. Unfortunately we can not choose our family and the situation u are in sucks for sure but stay strong and be proud of your accomplishments! If u are not burning out then…

To start I am so sorry u and your mother had to deal with this almost makes me want to tear up. But we as a human race are like this people do get treated differently by the way they look. Is it right absolutely not. But the thing is we need to be mentally strong for those that it really bothers remember how strong u were…

Small tip that helps me is I come to this forum a few times a day and read the threads really helps me to stay motivated and keep on track. I even learn something every once in a while lol.

Just wanted to say that's awesome keep up the great work!

Just curious why can't u eat the meal and do a few days of 30 min plus cardio to burn off the extra calories?

Lol same

I know someone like that my wife lol she eats bigmacs and fries all the time she actually eats whatever the hell she wants and is 115 pounds and that's after giving birth to my 3 beautiful children! But the thing is her body has a high motabalisim and the thing is if u were to look at her eating habits from the outside u…

One week is a short time to gauge anything, but try logging every meal and everything u eat and most importantly keep a calorie deficit that is the only way to lose weight

Tyra I just started over a month ago I weighed 270 punds I am now at 252. I chose a friend to start with me and that was the best idea i had. The best advice I can give is join a rec center and hit the bikes and tredmill cardio cardio cardio. I thought I would hate it but it turns out I look foward to going. My plan was to…

Everyone has given great advice, as far as the treadmill goes jump on and hit quickstart and go from there when u feel comfortable then hit the up button to go a little faster and so on. My other advice for the treadmill is if u are not used to it is focus foward (straight in front of u) trying to look around and talk can…

That's awesome just wanted to say! How long u been at it to drop 60?

Thanks do know how long before the weight training will kick up my metabolism?

Thanks for the list. The thing is the only meal I "eyeball it" is dinner I always look at protein bars at the store and think man those are high in calories and think I better stick with the Luna bar i get because I know that I "eyeball it" at dinner that way if in don't get it right I known will be under in calories.

Cool thanks. One more question how often should i update my weight?

Do u have any advice on a cheap but good food scale? Please remember I am new to this.

I don't know that's why I asked. What are some good light snacks that are high in protein?

Eat half of what? I feel like I need to run now that I have splurged tonight lol

Well put cw thanks for the advice!

Thanks juggernaut that's why I brought it to u guys! That is good to know as I love my workouts and the progress I am making!

That is awesome dani!

So as long as I continue to eat at a deficit I will continue to lose weight? The reason I ask is because I read that your body gets used to the workouts and u essentially stop losing weight. Can u also look at my diary and tell me if it looks ok. I do not ever feel hungry and I feel great I love this app and this community!

I think more then anything mental and safety as far as I know. I started at 270lb I don't want to overdue it on my body while I weight so much. I definitely plan on doing it but want to make sure I cut down on weight before I add the stress of lifting on my body. I do read that it does help speed up burning calories but…
