  • First off. My husband does not tell me what I can or cannot do. Just like I do not tell him what he can or cannot do (cheating is OBVIOUSLY an exception). Just like someone else said, it is a partnership. Now on the women's side, it would depend on a few things. If this women I would be carrying the baby for could not…
  • How many calories one should loose per week has a lot factored into it. The bigger you are the more weight you are going to loose per week (if you workout regularly and watch what you eat). Someone who looks as small as you are, you are not going to loose that weight that fast the health way. There is a simple answer to…
  • I know how you feel. I get really bad bloating and cramps. But I push through it, even if I have to take some IB profen for the pain. I still workout. And I have found that (and it is a known fact) if you workout during your period, it helps. Over a little time, it has been known to lessen the pain and discomfort you feel…
  • I'm 5'1, 22 years old and my ultimate goal weight is 130 pounds.
  • I tried to look at it but when I copy and pasted it in my browser it said I needed to request permission?
  • Other than my weight... I want to just overall see changes in my attitude and willingness to do "fun" things. Now with the weight that I am at, I am really hard and negative on myself. I don't have the confidence in myself. All my best close that I love either don't fit me or they are way too tight. It depresses me. I hide…
  • My name is Ashley. I have gained 80 pounds over the course of about 2 years due to a severe car accident. After two years of seeing my true self die i am determined to bring myself back to life. I wish I could melt the fat away fast but i know that is not the right way. My goal is to loose simply 4 pounds a month. If I…
  • Like everything else in the world, there is nothing wrong with drinking milk in moderation. Obviously if you polish off a gallon in one day then that's a problem. But you just have to get the right kind of milk. Milk is good for the body despite what a lot of people say. Once again, if drank in moderation. I drink 1%…
  • Personally.. I want a flat tummy. Possibly when I reach my goal I'll shoot for a mini six pack. Meaning I don't want a full on one like men get. I want defined muscles but I still want that "girly slim body" vs a bulky body.
  • Yrs your exercise can change that. Don't worry about it. You may end up with a completely different schedule for your cycle. Don't depend on the schedule you had before starting to workout.
  • It can be frustrating but give yourself a pat on the back and now that everyone here is proud of you. Also remember, you didn't begin this journey to recieve compliments, you began because you wanted to be healthy and become a better you.
  • If you want to purchase Insanity I would highly recommend it! In three weeks I've lost 7 pounds and 4 inches! No equipment needed!
  • Zumba, Just dance, Wii Fit, Wii Sports,.. there are a lot of dance ones. There's michael jackson, country etc. I am waiting for my Zumba to arrive in the mail. I've heard good things about it.
  • I will not be taking a break for Christmas or thanksgiving or any holiday. Everyone should be loosing weight via life style change not just some short term diet. Therefore, would conclude that nothing should really change eating habits wise during any holiday.
  • I wouldn't log it as fast pace, as you will probably not do it continuously (stopping to pour drinks and what not) Your heart rate will not get too high at all. Log it as slow pace if ya log it at all. I also personally wouldn't. Since without a calorie counter kind of hard to truly tell.
  • If your must weigh yourself everyday, then just a pick one day a week that you record your weight. Whether it is the highest or lowest record it on that day, every time it is that day. Also try to weigh yourself around the same time of the day. When you first wake up is ideal. But really, ya should try not to weigh…
  • It happens to me from time to time. Usually after I eat dinner, since that is the longest time I go without food, I begin to feel hungry like 2 hours before I am suppose to be going to bed. Not good. Drink plenty of water, protein helps too. Eating lean meats. Carb friendly vegetables are good too. But in my last few days…
  • My start out calorie intake each day is 1,200 calories. I exert anywhere from 500 to 900 calories a day. There I am not going to just eat 1,200 calories. That, in all respects, would be stupid. If I burn 500 calories I will eat at the very LEAST 1,400 calories and that is pushing it. If i burn 900 calories I will eat about…
  • I know how you feel and then some. I have sciatic nerve pain, along with a out of place spine and nerve damage in my whole left leg. The pain can be horrible. But one of the best things to do is to work out. I know plenty of people, me being one of them, that works out and are fine. Yes it will hurt, yes it will go numb,…
  • Care about being more specific? Because generally tapeworm protocol is used in the context of getting ride of tape worms. Which people have done to loose weight because the amount of tape worms has grown to an unsafe amount.
  • LOL I think it is funny how some people say they can't imagine having parasites in their bodies... well, ya already do! Humans naturally have parasites, a lot of them actually. Some are good while some are bad but are there in moderation. It is only when a human gets infected with the wrong kind of parasite or has too much…
  • You do not have to eat back your calories. If you haven't lost anything then you either need to stop eating back your calories or change up your workouts. I may gave a plan/idea that could help you. Feel free to request ne and send me a message.
  • Like someone said you should not be trying to loose 1.5 pounds a week with only 4 pounds to go. That is just not going to work. Also you did not explain what you do for activity. 1,150 calories is cutting it close. So many people on here are so proud of getting so far under their goal. Your body needs the proper amount of…
  • That's awesome! And yes it is amazing what difference weight loss does to a persons face. :) Your looking great! Keep it up!
  • You came to one of the best places for support and accountability. The people here are great! And a lot of people on here have motivational stories that can touch your heart. Use all the tools and log all food and exercise. Keeping your diary viewable can also be beneficial. Welcome! Stay strong and be mentally ready for…
  • There is no point in weighing yourself everyday. Bowel movements, water intake or retention and other things will give you a different number almost everyday. People who weigh themselves everyday get mad when they have "gained" a pound. When in all reality, they may just way more because they just ate, drank water,…
  • Hey! Welcome, Glad you came! We'll get that weight off ya :) I'll message ya and we'll see what we can do!
  • I am so doing this! I'm in :)
  • Some eat (or drink) their protein before some do so after. But yes you are correct most will say do it after. Just depends on the person. That aspect does not work for me. My body responds better by doing so BEFORE i workout. Obviously people can make these and eat them afterwards. But I put down what worked for me. People…
