I did meet my goal for the exercise but it hasn't made a difference in my weight...I am still yo-yoing over 2 lbs. Staying within the guidelines...not eating over 1500 but not all the way up to the 1647 that is recommended. My Doctor thought I needed to eat less than that.

I still don't get anywhere no matter, I have upped my water and I am trying the doctor said I wasn't normal or average and that I wasn't eating right. I usually am not over on anything...maybe three times since I started this. I still am playing with the same 2 lbs. I am faithfully recording what I am doing and what is…

See post below.

thanks I'll have to check it out.

I am willing for another challenge but I am new to this and have NO IDEA what a 30 DS is. Can anyone explain it to me?

Glad you are safe. You know each mile we walk is worth it. We want to stretch and see if we reach our goal! I read an interesting post today about eating the suggested calories and how our bodies work...it was very good. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/9-general-diet-and-weight-loss-help I found this awesome…

Thank you for pointing me in this direction....I found this post there" Living With Obesity At 700 Calories Per Day! By: David Greenwalt " that was so helpful and even more helpful than my Doctor's. I hope others who are frustrated won't give up and read his post.

The doctor was not that supportive...my nurse that calls from BCBS said that she wanted my thyroid checked and Doc said that he does every year and he didn't think that was it. He says that not all diets work and that my metabolism might be different than someone else my size. He wants me to up the exercise and cut the…

You know I lost my Mom almost 7 years ago and I also lost my Mother in Law the same year 20 days later. My husband spent the last 4 months of her life with her and then he had to stay and handle the estate which took another couple of months. It was a stressful time for us and then we got my Dad to come live with us for 3…

I walk 1- 1.5 miles about 5 times a week with my dog. Sometimes my husband will join me but it is extremely hot here in Texas right now and it is usually about 88 in the morning when I am walking. High humidity and lately no breeze...the breeze really helps and some shade from trees that line the streets around my…

I have no prescription coverage either so I guess if he puts me on one....I won't be able to afford it either. A depressing thought. I wonder if anyone knows of foods that aid the thyroid in getting it moving a little and improves the metabolism. It seems I can only lose weight if I totally stop eating. I know that isn't…

That's about the same day that I joined and I am stuck...I am charting and I am walking and I am trying. At first it seemed like I had a hard time eating enough calories but lately I have been over on fats and proteins...less than a 10 but still upsetting but the scale keeps going from 240-237.8 and I can't get any…

I have not been doing the video walk but I have been walking with my dog and getting in walks about 5-6 days a week. It is hot in Texas but try to get out there before 10 in the morning and not sweat myself to death! Cool off in front of fan and hop in the shower but enjoy my walk to the fishing dock and back. Enjoyable…

Hi, I would love to be one of your friends and support for this journey. Please add me as your friend. I lost my job through a forced resignation as a teacher for special needs students. That's how I lost the original 40 lbs. was all of my troubles with the new principal who wanted me to break the law and I wouldn't so she…

THANKS FOR THE HELP..IT WORKS.

Thank you so much it worked! i appreciate the help.

:sad: I have a mile to add to my walk but don't know how to chart it on ticker.

I would like to join...I have started walking the past two weeks so this will help motivate me to keep it up. My goal will be 20 more miles for August.
