i agree, do not eat your calories back...If I did that I wouldn't lose weight. I suppose it all depends on an individuals matabolism, though. I'm finally beginning to lose weight again. At first, I was eating my calories back and it just wasn't working for me. I also have to eat at 1200 calories a day, I go over a little,…

You have come to the right place Jamie. I've been a yo yo dieter most of my life but I'm hoping to change that here. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

That's an excellent question and one I wondered about too. I hope someone knowledgable answers your question, so we will both know. I work out in the fatburning mode, myself, and that wears me out for 30 minutes! :drinker:

Welcome Lindsey and thank you for sharing your story. It looks as if things are going much better with you and your health. You and I are at the same weight right now so I hope we can be freinds and support each other. I started on this site nearly two weeks ago and it is great! Much support and help with weight loss here.…

I have not lost enough weight yet to be noticable to others yet, but i have lost a significant amount in the past. What i found, is other female freinds do treat me a little different. Many were happy for me but there were quite some that actually seemed jealous and stayed a distance from me. It really hurt, but my weight…

have 30 pounds to take off and I knwo the journey is not over then. The real challenge is to keep it off so I am definitely long term. Please feel free to add me.

I'm 49. will that do? I was just saying to my daughter that most of the poeple on here seem to be young. I need more of the "mature" weight loss freinds too. :wink:

once a week is my weigh in day. when you weigh on a daily basis, sometimes your weight is shifting or doing funny stuff. hehe....so the scales lie sometimes. Once a week is more accurate I think. My problem is, everytime I see a scale, I want to jump on it, but every scale weighs a little differently, so I need to break…

reducing your daily calorie intake, exercise and I try to always hold my stomach in. It strengthens my abs. I do it when I'm exercising too. I really don't think sit ups ever helped me though. :noway:

hi Kaylee, I was one of them that gained a whole lot of weight with all three of mine. The good news, it does come off. This is a great site for support. Only 10 pounds more for you, you can do it. The harder part really is keeping it off. (lol) at least for me it is. oh, I live in Wa. state too. :happy:

Your on your way to recover and support here. I was an emotional eater, up and down weight loss junkie too. Love to be your friend.:happy:

great job everyone! My profile picture is one of me about 15 pounds lighter. I am 171 now and my goal is to be 140. My goal is to be 150 pounds by Christmas.

yummmmmmy! got to try these sometime

Hi Patti, congrats on your decision to start here. I've been 10 days and I love this site! Makes loosing weight exciting and fun! :laugh:

thanks! It sounds like a great site.

That is awesome! I haven't done my measurements yet, but when I weigh myself Wednesday morning, I want to do my measurements too. Thank you for the encouragement. :-)

Can you share your secret for getting 1000 calories after exercise? After my exercise i still have to be careful with not going over. If I don't exercise, like I didn't yesterday, because I was busy with church and church activities, I go over my calorie intake. I could use some good pointers with how to limit my calorie…

I am so sorry for your break up. i know how hard it is because I am recently divorced. I see on your ticker that you have lost 5 pounds. That is so good! You are on the right track. We all have bad days and good days. just don't give up. Today is another day. I went over my calorie intake yesterday, but today is a new day.…

I can easily drink 2- 8 ounces of water by just drinking water when I exercise. I actually can't do my exercise without drinking water and when I work,; I'm a housekeeper, so it's physical work. Also, when I use to do weight watchers, they said that you can include the water when you drink coffee or tea; so I do that too.

I'm new to this site too as of yesterday. I have only one freind so far, so feel free to friend me.

Stace bar, I need to make this work too. good luck and I think we can if we stay on track here. this site will help us.
