Loving & understanding nature.... looks too matter but they come in second for me.

Am a meat/chicken/fish (some veggies) eater. :-) But, lately meats (mainly processed) are associated with some types of cancers, but again it depends whom you ask. For me, I usually eat meats in less (2-3 times/week) moderation, chicken is my main source for proteins and I do eat canned tuna, shrimps 2-3 times a week.…

upto 3 litres of water per day... more on hot Summer days.

After gaining over 60 pounds in past few years, plus after a serious foot injury, I find myself not able to run as I did before. I too used to get pains & aches in my legs. So, spoke to my doctor who recommended to drop a few pounds before trying again. Seems running with all that additional weight can damage your joints…

Nice

Water always is better than any sodas... period.

...nice *kitten*. ;-)

I took a lot of different protein powders in past, but most of them didn't make any difference or didn't like taste. Starting this year, I have been using "Muscle Pharm Combat Protein Powder (Cookies & Cream)". I take around 1.5 scoops (about 210 cals) in evenings an hour before I go to gym. I am seeing a good change in my…

yes.

All the best.... add me. I too have to loose around 60 pounds.

Not trying to scare you, but same happened with me.. twice!! After which I gained all the weight I had lost and few more pounds. Try to 'front-load' your calories, i.e. eat a larger breakfast and taper off your calorie intake by dinner. Also, try to eat some protein dense snacks between main meals to curb off hunger pangs.…

Hello.. welcome!! One thing we all got in common - We are in here to lose weight and have some fun while we are doing it. All the best.

"To Err Is Human." - the saying goes. I do have a couple of 'cheat meals' a week, but I don't go overboard by eating everything in sight. So, I eat sugary/carbs heavy foods... as I don't eat them during my normal days. Yes, it does increase the number on my scale after a cheat meal, but it sure helps me 'reset' my resolve…

Happens to most of us.. hang in there. I lost a lot in first three weeks, but now have been gaining/loosing every day. All the best.

Not really. Me, being originally from India, food is the "center" of every meetings, parties & gatherings. Plus its always the wrong foods (aka.. oily, fatty, carb-loaded...etc.). So, now I eat less and make it a point to choose healthier options. Plus, most of my friends know about my weight-loss goal, they have been…

Every morning... but I gauge my weight-loss progress on weekly basis on Mondays. So, I know if I went overboard over weekend & hence can use the following week to eat sensibly.

Skipping bfasts was what got me to gain pounds in past. It's mainly because I ended up snacking wrong foods through out the day. Now, I have around 20-25% of my daily calories at breakfast, consisting of mainly proteins, tea/coffee and some fruits. This way I don't feel the hunger pangs like I did when I skipped…

... all the best.

Hello mindy2218, Do not worry about losing weight... be cheerful. Remember one "Golden Rule" of weight-reduction... 'quick fixes' don't work. It takes years to put on weight, it sure will take similar time to get it off too. I too did the same in past & lost tons (no pun intended) of pounds only to gain them all back....…

Hi, It used to happen with me & I am not even taking any meds ;-). Then I started to eat atleast 5 times a day. Out of those, my three main (breakfast, lunch, dinner) meals I load my plate with a lot of lean proteins. Not sure if you eat any breakfast, skipping it is a big 'pitfall' for weight management. Have a good…
