Mitymax is dead on correct!!! Follow his advice and consider lifting weights and decreasing cardio...it may take 3 or 4 weeks to reset your body's "thermostat", but you will find this plan will work. I found that I lost better following the TDEE-20%. Good luck to you! Mary

The book "Made to Crave" has made a difference in my mindset and motivation. And the bible verse from 1 Cor 10:23... Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. I relied on my own willpower the first 4-5 months, and then after reading this book and discussing it weekly with friends, my relationship with…

You are learning how to eat for the rest of your life!! What is she learning? You are giving your body what it needs...healthy foods(hopefully) and exercise. What is she giving her body? Chemicals....that can be destructive...that can raise blood pressure. In 6 months, where are you going to be if you continue on your…

^^^^^^^^^^ This!! Haha!! Everything you said, Plus..we thought it was cool to use baby oil and iodine and lay out in the sun. We used to make our halter tops and felt cool going bra-less! We used to make our own cloth pocketbooks..looked just like Vera Bradley. We didn't play video games, we played "kick the can" , red…

I agree, flatbread , tomato paste mixed with olive oil and Italian seasonings, fresh basil, low fat mozzarella, and any toppings you'd like. Or, Pizza Hut personal size veggie pizza (550 Cal) either way, just plan for it and log it!:flowerforyou:

I feel exactly the same..sigh.. I do what works for me...what I KNOW I CAN do. I walk, swim, and dance in my TV room. I've never been much of a cardio, sweat it out, kinda girl..so I mainly watch my diet and exercise when I feel like it. No guilt here. I do have some problems with heat intolerance and still a little bit…

Oh, and love my food saver...I can buy fresh meat, veggies in bulk and portion out individual servings and vacuum seal it for long term storage in freezer! And, I can't…

Having read Made to Crave, it I has changed my total mindset towards food and I can honestly say I don't crave foods. I do get hungry, and I eat my planned foods. I don't suppress my appetite, I listen to it and feed it. I recognize whether it needs more water, or if it's snack time or mealtime. I don't mean to sound…

Lord, I hope the dimples will go away!! But the other day I noticed at the pool that even slender people have imperfect bodies. I used to see normal and slender woman as perfect..but we all have some flaws... We all just need to be kind to ourselves. Our goal should not be perfection, but instead a loving acceptance of who…
