This.

Just like it was necessary to post this thread twice?

Kroger, Marsh, or the local hippie co-op. Where I shop partly depends mainly on what I'm looking for on a given day.

Welcome and good luck!!

I have a family member that suffers from this. In his quest to become "healthy", he's eliminated so many things from his diet that he's now suffering from extreme osteoporosis and malnutrition.

I was sad to see Collage go, too! Saw the sale early, though, and got some good deals. Check out videofitness.com for reviews, and totalfitnessdvds.com is a good source for preview clips.

Meh. I'm premenopausal and don't have problems with carbs. You can't from your generalize your own experience, either. In this case, it looks like there are some logging issues as well as an insufficient calorie deficit, as others have noted. Address the basics first, and worry about the rest only if it's necessary.

Here's a workout: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/ As to whether or not you'll keep doing it, that's up to you.

Her suggestion made perfect sense, and is likely more accurate than any online calculator. Figure out your average calorie burn (including exercise) and then eat at that level for maintenance. You can increase calories slowly if you wish.

Just turned 44 (and just logged day 736). Always happy to have new friends :)

Husband of 18 years is sort of....jealous...or maybe engaged is the right term. Anyhoo, he's certainly not oblivious :)

rock on!

Well twerking still seems to be trending, if that helps.

No, Congress is still getting paid.

While it's true that exercise isn't necessary for weight loss, it provides a host of health benefits. As someone who leads an otherwise fairly sedentary lifestyle, it's helping me, among other things, maintain a healthy weight, retain lean body mass as I get older, and manage my blood pressure without medication. But YMMV.

Honestly? I think you need to rethink your approach. Whether you realize it or not, you're trying to take advantage of someone by underpaying them. In fact, your offer of "training into a better skill set" could be easily interpreted as increased responsibility for which you're likely unwilling to pay. Regardless of course…

I also expected to see more. Very misleading since it's listed as "Red wine by the bottle".

Last time I checked, this site wasn't the exclusive province of the obese. But you're right on one count. Since you obviously have no empathy for the OP's situation, you shouldn't give her advice. OP, I'd give it another week or two. If you're still not seeing results, you might try changing things up a little. Maybe add…

Enjoy and move on. Congratulations!!

Great post, thanks!

I'm not seeing much by way of diary entries prior to Aug. 7. Roughly 2 weeks ago. Perhaps the problem lies in your expectations?

Why did you choose to post this in "Success Stories"? This is typically a place where people come to celebrate their accomplishments, not be berated for incorrect use of the English language.

Now THAT'S a 15,000th post!! Thanks for this!

I tried it briefly about 10 years ago. I lost a little bit of weight, but got so sick of the stuff I quit long before making any real progress.
