  • The body needs rest for the muscles to repair. But don't slip on diet, or you'll be back to square one!

    in A poll: Thoughts on tattoos on women... Comment by skinnybliss April 2012
  • I think you might regret it later in life - It's best to be discreet. Full sleeves are incredibly popular right now, but will they be considered "hot" in 10 years? or 20? I don't think so. I think by then the novelty will have worn off and the new "hot" will be a tattoo-free woman. Lots of people have them removed already…

    in Why? 1200 C a day and still no weight loss Comment by skinnybliss January 2012
  • Yes - I have to say, my body thrives on 1200 calories a day. Even when I am not trying to lose weight, I stick to 1200 calories a day during the week, then I can eat whatever I want on the weekends. By the end of the weekend, I swear, my body is craving to go back to 1200 calories a day. It is all I truly need. Here is the…
    in Anyone else on 1200 a day? Comment by skinnybliss January 2012
  • TOTALLY!!! My husband and I both "cheat" on the weekends, because we are so strict during the week, we are able to do that and still lose weight. And we are finding that smaller and smaller portions of the "cheat" food ( french fries, pizza, chocolate, movie popcorn, etc ) satisfies! And I can't really even stomach the…

  • Chocolate - I fit it into my calorie budget every day. And a cocktail or 6 on the weekends! Mmmmmm....

  • Oh yes, everyone can relate to that! I learned a cool trick from "The Anderson Method" ( book) - whenever you're hungry , and it's not time to eat yet, just think to yourself, "wow, I must really be burning fat right now!" Now, when I am hungry between my mealsI tell myself that, and it feels almost GOOD! I'd rather be…

  • You're young - your skin will tighten. Don't worry about that. my husband is losing weight just as fast, 20 pounds in about a month or so. He is a big guy with lots of muscle.
    in Losing too fast??? Comment by skinnybliss September 2011
  • I have chocolate every day. I just work it into my calorie allowance. I allow myself about 150 calories of dark chocolate as a snack, and I can easily stay to 1200 calories for the day doing that. The trick is to plan it in, so you don't have those cravings later.
    in Chocolate addiction Comment by skinnybliss September 2011
  • According to "The Anderson Method", you should use the weight of your correct body weight for your height, in the calculation for burn rate, NOT your current body weight. If you use that number, you will not lose weight. For example, a 5'4" woman should weigh about 120 pounds. I am 5'5", so I should be around 125. ( I'm…

  • Welcome! My husband and I are both on this site and are doing very well. I have lost almost 9 pounds and he has lost 13.5- just by entering everything in Fitness pal, and keeping our calories to our limit. The best thing about this site is you can eat your favorite things, just make them in increments that support your…
    in Hi to all! Comment by skinnybliss September 2011
  • Read, "The Anderson Method". It is written by William Anderson. It is a very understanding book of what you are going through. The author himself struggled with weight his whole life and finally figured out how to keep it off. You can get it on Amazon.com right to your phone, for like, $9. It's worth it. Read it. You'll be…

  • That is simply fantastic!!! Keep it up, because momentum is the key!
    in 26 lbs gone (pics) Comment by skinnybliss August 2011
  • Because the calculations are already done for you. For example, I can only consume 1200 calories a day if I want to lose 2 pounds a week. If, however, I exercise on the treadmill and burn 300 calories today, I can consume 1500 calories today and STILL lose 2 pounds a week. If I don't exercise, I have to stay at 1200…

  • Check your sodium intake. If over the allowed amount, you may be retaining a lot of water.
    in why???????? Comment by skinnybliss January 2009
  • Whenever you have a bad day/weekend, you MUST brush it off and get back on your routine AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Ruminating about your small failure will drive you into a full-blown downward spiral. You put it behind you, because it takes MORE negative mental energy to beat yourself up and relive all the bad stuff you ate,…
