also make sure you're not wearing too revealing of clothing. Even I look when women's boobs are popping out all over the place because they don't bother to wear enough of a shirt to cover them, ya know? Not saying you are dressing inappropriately, just saying, take a look at what you're wearing and could that be part of…

Hey ya'll. Cannot believe I haven't checked in in days. Also I've been doing terribly. Today was a bad eating day, feeling pretty bad about myself (eating more food, yeah, that helps - NOT!) So I have decided to "start over" and redo my ticker and all that, and just start from the weight I am at now (12 pounds up than my…

My wardrobe is TINY!! Anyone have any 1x long sleeve tshirts, size 16W/18W jeans or khakis (no elastic waists) they can sell me cheap or free? I'll pay for shipping... I hate thinking of buying stuff right now but it's getting colder!! at least i have a jacket that fits, LOL, i may be wearing it indoors! all i have is thin…

Hi yall! Yep, went for my bike ride, didn't go as far as I'd planned, I'm not quite up to par yet. Went a mile, I think? Tried to keep up a good pace with my legs to get my heart pumping, but wasn't actually moving that fast, just used a lower speed. But then I needed a nap in the afternoon, plus came down with a migraine.…

Morning, everyone. I'm still not 100% but I'm getting there, finally! Yeah, I figured I had the swine flu, the only one in my house I'm worried about is Z because he's so small and doesn't eat much, plus has bad allergies and athsma that are really acting up now too. But no one else in my house had a fever, so I'm hoping…

Well, I made it until almost 2 pm until I'm ready to pass out - which is much better than the 9 am it's been for a week! Guess I'm getting better! Just rode my bike w/son#2 to the neighbor's house and back, just to get out of the house for a bit. Threw my hip out a day or two ago, then today hurt my back sweeping... man…

hey ya'll i'm still alive and kickin' but just barely. have the flu (maybe the swine flu??) anyway it's kicking my butt. i get up, eat, and pass out agian, been like that for a week. not logging my food, not burning any energy. spent 3 days soaking wet with a fever, finally that broke. we have a new family member too, a…

find things that are not painful, don't worry about what other people do. stretch your legs out, do some resistance, etc. there are several people on here with fibro who do what they can when they can and don't stress it when they can't. for you, losing weight may be more the eating part than the exercise, there's nothing…

wow sorry guys I've been MIA for 2 days, didn't even realize. did walk around the amusement park, even rode a roller coaster which gave me whiplash or something, LOL. So today I wore those shoes again for walking on the pavement, think it was 1.5 miles (each way?) and I was sore when I got home but no more sore than I was…

morning all. well we have a new member in our household as of last night, a french exchange student. man is she skinny and she says she never eats hardly at all... i believe it. well maybe she can help me eat healthier... either that or worse cuz i'll look at her all skinny and "hate" her... LOL well seems like busy is…

I was, although I wish I had that "chunky" body now! For me it was what we were eating, lots of carbs, lots of red meat, not a lot of lean meat. And sitting in school all day didn't help, although nights and weekends on the farm we worked all the time, but those six - seven hours a day really slowed my metabolism, I think.

What really matters is your net calories - total intake of cals - exercise cals = net cals. So if your net calories are at a good level, remembering that for most starvation mode is around 1200, then you should be fine. Say that your net calories is 1500, then you're fine. Are you using an HRM? Because the calories used in…

I haven't started running yet, but I have experienced that endorphin rush and yes, it's addicting and awesome. :happy:

Manda-SW198, GW 135, CW 171 = no change (but inches lost) prayerful-sw 277/gw195/CW226.8= -2lbs (promise fulfilled) jlb123- sw266.8/gw150/cw266.8= newb Lorann - SW 285 / GW 155 / CW 235.5 = gained 1.5 lbs adopt4 - SW 273 / GW 165/ CW 235.5 - starting again from today Hello all. Well I am changing my ticker and my signature…

yeah, losingit, I'm trying to kick the sugar addiction again too. how easily it comes back when you let your guard down! didn't go for our bike ride, but we made a valiant effort. turns out one of her bikes had a flat tire, mine has a flat tire, so i went to borrow a neighbor's who said i could borrow it but they weren't…

As you change your weight, redo your goals and it will change your calories (as in when you lose weight it will lower your calories). You can also change the goals from 1.5 pounds per week to 1 pound per week, for example, to up your calories a little bit. As you add in your exercise, it will update those cals in your food…

Imitrex worked for me, it even worked for "visual migraines" where you don't have the pain but everything you see is moving and wavy... no narcotic side effects, no hangovers, I worked in a job where my brain had to really work and I had no fuzziness or anything. I didn't experience any side effects or lose the ability to…

prayerful... with as many cals as you burn, i do not understand your eating! i would be passing out from malnutrition! but good work on the bike, and for not letting a few flat tires keep you! sore from my walk yesterday, from the cement, not just walking. happens every time. wonder if walking on cement more will make it…

Drank my water. Check Walked to neighbor's house and back. Check Walked an hour with neighbor. Check Called trainer to set appts... oops Pls keep brandishing that slipper at me, lulu.... So far today I haven't overeaten, but it's usually evening that I go crazy. Maybe tonight will be different since I'm sore from that walk…

laughinfox - so sorry u r sick. We had that go thru our house too, a few weeks ago. hope ur on the mend. swignal, our prayers are with u. i hope there's another answer other than surgery lorann, don't get discouraged. this is a process and it will take your body and mind time to adjust to the "permanency" of eating…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAZYBEE!!! And many more!!! Enjoy it - in a health way!!!

Man. I had a bad night. For some reason I was seriously craving choc cake. So I went to the store and bought one, and some vanilla ice cream of course to go with it. That's the bad news. The good news is the cake didn't taste very good, so instead of eating half of it like I had planned to do, I ate normal size piece or…

That's the way, laughingfox! You've learned to not turn to food... and we almost all struggle with that. You're doing great! I'm in a weird mood the last little bit, it's really bad today though. I've been cleaning my house like mad, organizing stuff, just finished organizing my closet, went thru my stuffed desk drawers…

You HAVE to fuel your body in order for it to let go of that fat it's stored. If you're burning 1000 calories a day on exercise, I can see why it's hard to eat that much, but if you're burning 300 then it shouldn't be hard to eat that. You should be eating every 2-3 hours. So instead of eating low-fat/non-fat, eat full…

I know what you mean. I'm only halfway to my goal, but I'm already realizing that my goal weight is still chunkier than I'd like to be. I watch weight loss shows like "X Weighted" to get an idea of what I really look like (women roughly the same height and weight as I am right now) and then see what they look like at the…

You are in a dangerous situation. If he's ever beaten you up, you need to report him to the police. Whether you were a child at the time or not, it needs to be reported. You might also try being an "au pair" while going to school, meaning you babysit for your room and board, and you go to school as well. A lot of times you…

darn darn darn, woke up late (son 1 woke me up at 8:45 - his bus comes at 9!! He's usually up at 6 and wakes me up so I dont' set an alarm clock!). Grr I'm up 2 lbs from last mo... I can blame tom or water retention... but i think this one is my eating, those little overages over the past 2 weeks added up. and, i'm…

FATE IS AGAINST ME!!!! When I got to the car from Costco, there was a big container of macadamia nut turtles that I hadn't put in the cart, nor was it on my receipt. Not sure if my 3 yr old nabbed it from a nearby cart as we were leaving (not likely, but possible) or if the checker put the next guys' stuff in my cart (more…

This is a process, this is a journey, so you're not going to "fix" all your problems overnight. If you screw up, get right back up and move on in the right direction - don't beat yourself up, don't give up, figure out where you went wrong and fix it for next time. If you have an oral thing where you eat when you're…

Morning, all. Today child 2 goes to school for a few hours, so I'll have two gone. Woot! If you had told me a year ago (it's been just a year that we've had 3 - Sept 12) that I'd be dying for them to go to school for a bit each day, I'd have thought you were nuts, why go thru all that to adopt those two just to want them…
