So long as you are human, who cares what your background or heritage is? just be nice and good to one another.... stop labeling everyone.

My dietician says its just best to eat less.

I am going to be 42 this year and yeah its harder than hello to take it off. I would like to be your buddy. I put on 60 lbs the last 1 year because of a change in career - moved to a desk job... We can certainly help each other. Regards, CAT

What is your carb intake? reduce carbs and you might see a difference.

My husband doesn't like what I cook either so guess what? I dont cook for him. He scrounges something from himself. When he complains there is nothing in the fridge to eat, I say, "you don't tell me what to buy for you that you actually like, then you dont get anything." He now tells me things he would like me to buy and…

Not all vegetables are created equally. It also depends upon what the veggie is made of. The Atkins website has a list of veggies and their carb count. Carrots are on the no-no list.

Congrats! And you look FANTASTIC!

Wow, that put things into perspective for me. Thank you.

I couldn't have said it better....

Hey, I just started morning work outs as well. Today was my first day. I get up a few minutes before 7 am. As there is a small gym in our apartment complex, I walk over there and have done today and plan to do every morning, an hour on the treadmill. I feel really good and ready to take on the day. I am even in a good…

You cannot spot reduce. Eliminate white flour and sugar and lots of cardio.

Hello- My husband is one of those guys that grew up in a family that didn't eat healthy. I am talking about not one stinking vegetable anywhere. And, it shows, because most of his family is ill from one thing or another (all relating to the fact that they eat nothing but poor quality meat and white flour based products). I…

FREAKING AWESOME! Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing! I need the inspiration.

It's what you eat not how much you eat. Take a look at fathead the movie website (www.fathead-movie.com). It educates you in a funny way about how the body really works. Stick with what is found in nature (typically known as the paleo diet) and stay away from processed foods (of any kind) and you will see a difference not…

Generally, whatever your weight was in high school is probably the best weight to shoot for. Unless you were obese in high school. That was the case for me so I got a body composition analysis done. It determines how much your bones and organs weigh as well as your water weight. I was very surprised to find that my lean…

Thank you for sharing. It shows there is hope for me as well as others.

Less is always better but also what you eat is more important. Some tips from my trainer: Cardio in the morning before you eat. Eat a healthy and large breakfast. It should be the largest meal of the day. Eat a snack only if you are hungry. Eat a moderately sized lunch. Eat a light dinner. Do strength training in the…

Honestly, I want to be that woman that men look twice at. And, not because I have a big butt but because I am attractive. I also want to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath. So, yes there are health reasons but the primary one is to self-esteem issue.

Never heard of the term... I guess I am living under a rock.

Deprevation is not the way to go. Good job in keeping everything in prespective.

My doctor stated for my body type and frame size (medium) I should be at 160. I'd be happy with 170. I have the number 170 posted all over the house.

My goal this month is to exercise every day. Minimum 30 minutes. Nothing fancy, just a fast walk. I purged my cabinets of tempting foods and have already incorporating eating well. If I get into the habit and stick with exercising every day, I will treat myself to a gym membership to an upscale gym.

Wow, who is that? is that your sister? Good Job!

Wow! You look like a totally different person!

I have been dying my hair since I was 19 (premature grey). You do what works for you so long as you don't stress your hair out. Keep healthy and keep happy!

Soydelicious. I love that "icecream". They make a great neopolatin flavor.

Oooh Tuna casserole brings back memories! I will have to try the recipe. Thanks!

Ah yes. Those crappy days creep up on you. You have my sympathy. Is it sunny out where you are? If you can, just step outside for a few minutes and get some fresh air or walk around the building to get the "happy" endorphines going. If all else find a picture that has something cute on it to make you smile. Smiling is the…

I still have that problem too however, Dr. Oz suggested stop eating after 7:30 pm. I guess we are going to have to do it cold turkey. Chew on a straw, suck on some water through a straw, anythign to keep the mouth busy.

Im a gamer chick. Games do not make you fat, you make you fat. Take responsibility for yourself and get your *kitten* off the seat. You can't blame a game for your lack of self control. What are you going to do, sue Blizzard for for the cost of your medical bills? Really... Take personal responsibility and get your butt on…
