Thank you! All I really wanted to add to this was a pound is a pound. Muscle is more dense, more compact, but does not weigh more. For example, 1 pound of feathers would look a lot more than 1 pound of rocks, but both weigh exactly the same... 1 pound.

My problem too, minus the heavy workout. :blushing: :laugh: . Curious as to what others think or do. :flowerforyou:

Measure, count, and weigh all your food. Log everything. Read the message boards for insight and inspiration, but do your own research. Take body measurements also. You might be losing inches and not realize. Be patient. It sucks, I know, but you have to be.

Yeah, I made these tonight also and that's about what I got also. BTW.... Deeeeeeeelish! :love:

Ah-freaking-mazing!!! You literally moved me to tears and i'm not 100% sure why, but how very inspirational you are. I already had Hawaii on my bucket list, but now I am adding Koko Head. Thank you for sharing. *hugs*

Oh wow! This looks delicious! :love: Another new way for me to make chicken and sweet potatoes. Thank you for posting this. :bigsmile:

I'm sorry he hurt your feelings, but I also agree... good learning lesson time. He needs to know that he hurt your feelings and it isn't okay, and you still love him. Don't make it long and drawn out and all emotional, but make sure he understands that words really do hurt. *hug*

I love pumpkin muffins and really missed eating them cause I couldn't find any with reasonable calories per serving. I'm glad I found this one and modified it a little bit to add in chocolate chips. :love: According to the recipe maker, here's what I got... Calories / Carbs / Fat / Protein / Fiber Duncan Hines - Spice Cake…

:glasses: Be back later.

:flowerforyou: Going to come back and read others... But at 5'6" and currently at ~211lbs, I wear a size 16 pants and size large top. I have a large frame and am blessed in the *kitten*. LOL! I haven't been 195lbs in several years and can't wait to get there again. I think I was a Small to medium top and size 14 pants…

Had a '06 Honda CBR 600RR that I sold last year. I miss it and will buy another one this year. Love riding and the escape. Loved the look when I would take of my helmet and people would see I was a woman. Lol. Any other lady riders?

I'm not a big veggie fan either so I had to get creative and make them in soups or sauces. I also just had to try and convince myself to just try things. Zucchini cut thin and coated in egg whites, dusted in bread crumbs, sprayed with Pam and baked in the oven, really are good. Not a bad way to get veggies that have crunch…

I get it. I really, really do. I hate to count and measure and that fact that I can look at food and pretty much know it's nutritional value and then look in the mirror and still see my jiggly belly and cellulite thighs. I hate getting on the scale and literally praying it has gone down or that my jeans are a little bit…

Last week: 216.1 This week: 216.7 Up 0.6lbs. Not too bad considering I went to a banquet dinner last night and had 3 beers and very little food all day. I knew this week was coming. My focus was very off and I struggled with eating and logging. I don't feel too bad because I have lost about 14lbs since I started this and…

I have a Droid phone and I downloaded an app called Workout Trainer by skimble. I haven't used it yet, but I haven't erupted out in a while and feel a little lost. I don't have anyone to workout with and I know an app may not be the best, but it is at Larry giving me some direction.

Hmm... This is a challenge I need. :flowerforyou:

I have an Android phone and in the market it is called Workout Trainer by skimble. I'm going to try it this week so I'll tell you how it goes.

:laugh: HahHaaaHAha! Sadly, that's my fear also as I watch them shrink as I lose weight. *sigh* Luckily i'm not opposed to implants so I'll be starting a fund soon enough. Lol. :wink:

Are you measuring and tracking your food accurately?

*joining the OCD crew* I weigh every time i'm in the bathroom and near the scale just about. It is so bad, I even know how much to subtract for the clothes I wear. :laugh: :sad: :laugh: Officially, I weigh every morning butterball naked before getting in the shower and after my first pee. I log it every day whether it is…

I sent you a message regarding where to get some information on the raw eating, but in addition, i'd say that his body may just be adjusting to the shock of going from excess calories to next to nothing. I'd bet it's holding on to what little is coming in.

For me, my biggest change and motivation was getting rid of all the internal noise that bogged me down. I had to let go of all of that and focus on me. Once I had my emotions more in check, it was "easy" to focus on the food part. Some days, I still have to go one meal at a time and other days are a little easier when I…

Congrats crystlgrn!! That is awesome motivation! :heart:

Last week: 218.9 This week: 216.1 Down 2.8lbs!!! :bigsmile: I'm always so shocked and amazed when I step on the scale and down it goes. I'm very enthused and ready to make more change. I'm making appointments with myself to exercise and downloaded a nifty little app to take the guessing out of what kind of weight training…

I usually brown some ground turkey with broccoli slaw and a little teriyaki(sp?) and soy sauce, wrap them up in egg roll wrappers. I used to fry in my prior life, lol, but now i'll have to try them either baking or pan frying them with PAM. I have a pack in the fridge so I know what i'll be having for dinner one night.…

Thanks for asking this. I've been a little nervous about adding in exercise and tried to, but felt like I would fall off my eating. Now it's been about a month of eating right and i'm finally ready to really add exercising in and know that I am in a better place to stick to what I have been doing. Good luck!

Yep. Both me and my 17 year old daughter had to stop 30DS cause of knee pain while doing it. I didn't feel too bad cause she very athletic and in shape. :laugh:

I do both. I count calories, but watch my carbs. I very rarely eat all my allotment of carbs and always go over on my protein. I actually feel really good because I still have carbs, mostly from fruits, veggies, whole grains, but not so much I feel like sluggish. The other thing I watch is my fiber and drink tons of water.…

Congrats mashizoi! :flowerforyou: I had a decent week despite not really making the best food choices. I was also scared to start exercising. :embarassed: I know it's irrational, but i'm going to start this week. My numbers: Last weigh-in: 220.0 This week: 218.9 Down 1.1lbs. I'll take it. :bigsmile:

There are two different thoughts on eating your exercise calories back. In my opinion, no, that's not okay for weight loss. Your body will eventually go into starvation mode as your net is 449 calories. That means your body has/had that for the whole day.
