I eat everyday regular food, I just watch my calories, therefore I can have a sweet treat once in awhile, and since I have been counting my calories I am eating much healthier foods.

you can add me also if you want.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you, can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.

I am having similar problems, I am 47 and I am pre-menapausal, so I never know when I will have a period. I have found that when I skip a month I seem to gain a pound or two, is that normal? Because it is very frustrating.

that was funny, thanks for putting a smile on my face today. I eat what I want, when I want, I just don't go over my calories.

I am not sure exactly how that would work for my body, so I'm not taking any chances, I just figure the more calories I burn and not eat those calories then the quicker I will lose this weight. I just think that if I ate the calories that I burned then it was pointless to burn them when I could've just eaten my original…

definately don't put so much of your energy into this, she obviously isn't ready for the help, however your niece is only 5 and doctors want her to lose weight. Try turning your attention to her and see about taking her out for walks or extra play time. I know my grandsons love to go on walks with me, we make it an…

I would just be honest with your friend, I'm sure she would understand, just let her know you would love to go out for dinner sometime as long as it was at a place where you could have some healthy choices. If this person is a true friend they will totally understand.

I have also tried yoga and just couldn't do it, they tell you to focus on your breathing and everytime I tried to do that I would hyper ventilate, don't know why but I just did. And I too think it's boring, zumba on the other hand is such a great work out and lots of fun too.

alcohol has alot of calories, I say drink the orange juice and be your brothers disignated driver. Just a suggestion.

that is sad but you got to take what you want and ignore what you don't want, there are always going to be people like that. You just have to let it go, people generally make sarcastic comments when they are feeling pretty low about themselves, For some reason it seems to make them feel better.

summer time, shave all the time cause I'm always in shorts, winter time, not as often, cause I get tired of shaving.

I'll do it, SW: 165.8 I have just recently been getting a little more motivated but this challenge will sure help me push a little harder. GW: 130 Ht. 5' 7

what I do is look at how many calories are per serving, then see how many servings are per package, say it is 199 calories per serving and there are 5 servings, I would then multiply 199 by 5 and that would give you the total calories for the entire package. Just a little note, someone on here posted a recipe for pumpkin…

Congratulations!!!! I am so proud of you and I don't even know you, You are truly inspirational and I totally agree with you on the dieting, I do not consider myself to be on a diet but on a life long change, I have a daughter that tried that hcg diet, and wow, yes she lost 20 lbs. in 1 month, but as soon as she was done…

if you know how many calories you are burning you can add the exercise on your page where you track exercises.

I don't think that's unrealistic as long as you are not starving yourself, stick to your calories and exercise.

I will diet with you all, I'm trying to get down to 130, I started at 178 and I am now at 166, 36 more lbs. to go.

welcome, this is a great place to go. I too have about 35 more pounds to go.

I saw results on the scale immediately, as a matter of fact I dropped quite a few pounds the first 2 weeks, still need to lose more before seeing results in mirror but when I took my measurements I dropped some inches. Be patient and it is worth it all. I am like you I want to lose it all and lose it all quickly, but I…

first of all adam and eve didn't eat an apple, the fruit was actually a quince, and 2nd it just goes to show how easy it is to get men to do what we want. So we are not evil, just very smart.

don't be embarrassed to tell your friend, I know I have made slips in the past, don't be so hard on yourself, just wake up tomorrow and tell yourself it's a brand new day and start again. Best of luck to you.

I have had several of them in the past, and that's what it sounds like, but I would definately see your doctor, don't play guessing games with your health. And they are pretty painful when they burst, but your body just obsorbs the fluid. Everytime I have had them I still see my doctor because the symptoms for ovarian…

I just count my calories, I don't even like to really use the word diet because I don't want to fool my mind into thinking this is just short term, I like to think of it as a healthy life style change. I eat whatever I want I just don't go over my calories. I do shop for better food now, but I still love my mt. dew and I…

welcome, I have been using this site for 2 weeks now and I love it, I have already dropped 12 lbs. I log onto it everyday so I don't lose sight of what I am working so hard for. I wish you the best of luck.

Please Beautyfrompain, don't try that again, I did that about 10 years ago and woke up in the hospital 2 days later with tubes down my throat and my husband and children sitting next to my bed. Looking back on that now, I am so very thankful to God for not taking me on that day. Life does get better when you start to love…

welcome, and congratulations for starting, I am fairly new also, just joined about 2 weeks ago. And I am seeing results already. I wish you the best of luck. I quit drinking about 6 years ago and funny thing is that's when I started gaining the weight. But after I quit drinking I quit going to the bars and didn't dance…

I have just once.

I am tracking my calorie intake as well as how much I burn each day, I also have switched to low cal foods for the most part. I don't go over 1200 calories a day.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it, but if you up your exercise for that day you probably won't be going over, Last Friday was a very busy day and I ended up grabbing some food from a fast food place, I thought for sure I would've gone over my calories but because I burned more calories that day, it evened…
