Your body will adjust to what you give it, so if you have been doing 800-1000 it has learned to survive on that without dropping anymore weight. Sometimes if you eat more you can kick start your metabolism again and get the scale moving. Either that or change up your workout. Sounds like you are on a plateau, do something…

We had a guy who used to run in a parking garage when the weather was too bad outside.... but home videos are a great option.

I did a price comparison on Costco and found it was better for some stuff not all. i got into couponing from this show and have saved significantly. The most i've saved so far is $60 on a grocery bill. Last night I went to CVS and between coupons and extra care bucks I paid $2 for $18 worth of shampoo and conditioner (love…

Lots of veggies... eat baby carrots, celery, cucumber... popcorn, lots of volume for not so many calories. When i was studying I would get up every hour and make a cup of tea, your brain only absorbs so much each session anyways.

So what are you going to do about? Its not about falling off the wagon, that will happen to everyone. Its how quickly you get back on that counts! you want something more for yourself... make yourself important enough to get this! You can do it, take it one meal at a time.

www.protica.com. 25grams of protein with only 100calories! Two sips and you're done! easy protein!

So I find when I don't get any exercise calories that I'm really hungry sticking at 1320 calories. I try to eat every three hours and find that lower cal/higher volume foods help. I eat a lot of veggies and popcorn to get me through the hungry times. Protein will keep you fuller longer, and stick with whole grain carbs but…

Perhaps if we could see your diary we might be able to give you an idea on tweaking. How much exercise are you doing? You may be on a plateau and need to shake things up. Your body will adjust to a set amount of calories so you need to change things up every once in a while. Give us a little more information about what…

Is it just a pound since yesterday? Your body fluctuates several pounds each day which is why they recommend not weighing everyday. Also, if I'm understanding you correctly, you ate 1490cals and burned 538 with exericse? In which case you're not eating enough and your body may be protesting by protecting everything its got.

Take pride in that you are treating your body well and doing this the right way! its hard whenever people are losing faster than you but don't give up, your weight loss will be longer lasting and you won't have to use drugs forever!

It can also happen if you are exercising more because you are sweating and pushing stuff out of your pores. It should get better just keep washing your face morning and night.

I always argue with myself in the morning about getting up.... I never want to but if I can get up (putting alarm across the room helped) and stay up for a couple of minutes then i can go. Never even entertain the idea that you're not going to go because if you do, you'll lose. I have also told myself if I get up and go…

Interval training can be used during any exercise, not just walking/running. Its a great way to keep your body guessing and yes, it does burn more calories than steady state. Its an awesome addition to any exercise routine.

Be sure to drink lots of water.

I gave it up almost 3 months ago now, I am down 10lbs but I'm also exercising more and watching my calories more closely. Its all about calories at the end of the day. Its nice to never be hung over and miss working out because of feeling like crap but you have to have good reasons because its hard.

Plateus usually just mean you need to shake things up a little.. so change up your exercise, add in some High Intensity Intervals.. o0r change your cals up, make one day higher calories and one day lower calories. Your body adjusts to things quickly so changing things up my get you moving again.

Fruits, veggies, nuts, crackers..... popchips or pirates booty (pufffed chip like snack). Cereal (love kix for snacking on).

You are in the right place! Welcome and you can do this!

That's an amazing accomplish! Great job! You will find lots of motivation and encouragement here. Welcome.

The instructions on this diet are to take the drops and eat 500cals a day.. of course you will lose weight but good luck eating only 500 cals a day, that's not a diet that's starving yourself!

I have a different story.. I love alcohol but my mother is an alcoholic and I've had one too many blackout drunk nights. I drink and I'm fine, fine, fine, boom... I wake up the next morning with no idea what happened, I hate that feeling and the only way for me to ensure it never happens is to never drink. I can't drink in…

how you look is 80% what you eat but remember, dieting will only get you so far, at some point you will have to exercise! good luck!

Firstly, you are right, you haven't gained 4 "real" pounds... so don't stress, just some extra water and they'll go away again. Take a look at what had you throw in the towel and go to Wendy's. Then remember that it isn't three days or one meal that's going to derail you. This is about consistency over time.. not…

So I actually can't answer your questions because I don't know but I do that buying a Heart Rate Monitor was one of the best fitness investments I've ever made. I bought mine 7 years ago (probably $100-$150) and i've had it ever since. Its on its third battery and is going strong. i wear it running, cycling, even swimming.…

I've come to find that motivation is overrated. Its about jsut doing it as Nike says. I frequently lack the motivation to exercise but I do it anyways. its about willpower more than motivation and that's something you can build. For evertime you workout when you don't want to and everytime you resist eating something you…

I looked at your food diary and have a couple of suggestions. Firstly, try eating a little cleaner, less processed foods. Secondly and this has been said before I would eat more, you're short calories everyday. one day you tracked 900 calories (not sure if you ate stuff you didn't track). That's not nearly enough! Also,…

How you look is 80% what you eat, so you have to clean up your diet. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, high quality proteins and good fats. Its not all just about calorie counts. Also, you have to give your body a chance to catch up. Not all weight loss is instant, and if it is, chances are its just water. Give it some…

Great to have you! Welcome and you can do this! Trust me, be happy you're catching it when you're young enough :)

Good for you, do it now.. it really does get harder as you get older!

Follow the guidelines.. track your food, get your exercise in and drink lots of water. Ask for help/support if you need it. Take it 5lbs at a time and 60lbs will be here beofre you know it. You state that you have an underactive thyroid. I'm assuming its controlled with meds, if it isn't.. start there because otherwise…
