More then likely you are losing but not on the scale. I don't use the scale I use the mirror and measuring tape and how my clothes fit because no matter how good your scale is it still counts water and muscle. I drink so much water(120oz/day) exercise 6 days a week and eat right and I have not changed on the scale in 4…

Alright here is my answer, i have been low carb diet for 1year and yes I lost 113lbs but when when you are low carb for so long some people get the feeling of depression that is when my doctor said no more, something to do with the chemical makeup not sure but I weaned off the program I was on in 4 weeks and I did gain…

YOU CAN GET THEIR I did, I used to be 262lbs but now I am 155lbs it can be done I thought the same way you did. Good luck.

Love them and so do my kids!!!!!

It all depends on the person and if you are following the beginner girl or not. When I do mine I burn 140-150 cals I know from my bodybugg I follow the advanced girl and I am 5'4" 155 lbs but I have a slow matabolism because I did a 800-1000 calorie a day diet for a year and now have to work it back up. Hope this helps

Grab some nuts to eat like almonds or walnuts they pack a lot of good cals in a little amount.

Here is my exercise Monday - Saturday I do 30 day shred/biggest loser cardio/Jillian kettle bell, they take about 30 min each and I only do one a day I just change it up to keep it different. Then on sat/mon/wed I am at the gym also for my weight training and 40 min of cardio each day. My cals are set at 1650 without…

Hi Laura, I had lost 107lbs so I know it is a great accomplishment. I will be with you to support you anyway I can. I do things know I never thought possible. I used to weigh 262lbs and is also a stay at home mom of 2 kids. I am now 150-155 lbs and I am exercising everyday with cardio and 3x a week at the gym for weight…

Yes you do, but it is not that much. I pay for a full year because then it is less. I love it keeps me in check and I will never go by what and exercise machine at the gym says again, those machines always say way to much burned for me even when I put my weight in. LOVE THE BUGG!!!!

Sorry but weight will not bulk you up unless you are taking steroids, women do not have enough testosterone in their bodies to develop like a male even with using the heavies weights. All women should train just like a man that is what gives us the best results. Do the research. I do not mean to be snobby about it but I…

I am 5'4" and SW 262, CW 150, GW 125 I would like to be friends

hello, I am also live in MN. Great job finding us here at my fitness pal. I hope all is going well. I have lost 113lbs(not from using this app) already and have 25 more to go. Best of luck to you

I am really not sure also but in my case I do not count house work, to me that is an everyday thing that just needs to be done anyway. I guess I just think it as an extra unless you are shoveling snow. I have also noticed that the calories burned is off a lot on this website for some people. I would invest in a good heart…

Yes thanks you I have takin that into consideration. My levels are great, they never used to be but losing 113 lbs makes a difference. Yes this diet looks like it is not much and their is no magic pill I used to think that but never again hard work and determination and of corse I day at a time. I have noticed in my months…

Well this is what I do, I eat 6 meals a day all meals consist of a protein/complex carb(veg)/fat and an occasional fruit. My meals are portioned by using my hand protein and carb are the size of my palm each and about a tsp of fats per meal. I never eat fruit or starchy carbs after 3 pm, I also drink 128oz of water a day I…

That is what I thought also, but if I did not workout I would not be as tone as I am now. I would be what the doctors call skinny obese. I don't eat all my excercise cals but most of them. Just to make sure I don't go under my BMR for the day.

This is always a challenge. I use the elliptical at the gym and for 30min at 150lbs it says I only burn 97 cals with a heart rate of 150. So I use my bodybugg and that says I burn 285 calories for 30 min. Most machines can only estimate and the formula is normally set up for a average male not women. I would say get a…

I also have loose skin, I have lost 115lbs. Mine is mostly in my stomach area and my thighs some on my arms but not much. As far as I know it all depends on your age and your own skin you can excercise to tighten the muscle under the skin to make it look a little better but excercise will not get rid of it. I know many…

i never was a water drinker so what has helped me is i drink through a straw, for some reason it does not seem to be that much water if drank through a straw. it goes down pretty easy and i drink at least 100oz a day i make sure i get my 10 cups in before 3pm and then anything after that is a bonus.

WOW I have Lost an average fashion model, now to just look like one would be nice. But no surgeries for me I will work with what god gave me.

I prefer my Wii, I will not buy another Xbox ever. I bought an Xbox 360 and after 2 months it had the ring of death and the company would not fix it even though it was under warranty and this was not awhile ago either it was only 2 months ago so it is not like it was a first edition Xbox 360. I will stick with my nintendo…

I too like my diet pop, my trick is I don't buy it for my house. I do this for many reasons 1st my husband gave pop up, so I don't want to tempt him( it's been 4yrs already) 2nd I am a daycare provider and I set a good example around the children, in my own time that's different, my choices 3rd I don't need my teenagers…

Right now I go to the gym 3 days a week, one of those days is zumba class, the others weights and elliptical.

I know what you mean about feeling fat, I have lost 112 lbs and still feel fat but have been told by lots of people that lost a lot of weight that it takes time for your brain to see you the way your eyes do.

Buy a bodybugg. I have one and love it. I used to wear it 24/7 now I only wear it when I go to the gym because I already know how much I burn everyday and WOW was the machines at the gym and the formulas wrong. I burn way more then they say no wonder I was not losing I was not eating enough. Their is another arm band like…

Amen to that sister, i agree 100%. we can always make our own foods healthier if made at home from scratch with healthy ingredients. As for the popcorn I LOVE IT but the microwave popcorn i will not touch because of the so called ingredients in them, i will stick with popping my own popcorn with healthy coconut oil.

I have been on a low carb diet( medifast) for the last 10 months and lost 120 lbs it is a great lifestyle although for some people if you carb count is to low for long periods of time it can cause depression symptoms this being the reason I am transitioning off of low carb. I have learned a lot about carbs and nutrition…

So what does everyone do for your exercise calories, do you eat them back or how does that all work.
