You just started last month and are 25% towards your goal? Why would you be discouraged? You need to do more than 4 miles per week, that's 1 hour of exercise a week, you should be doing at least 3.5 hrs. Per week. You could also benefit from getting some friends for advice and motivation.

Not sure if I'm reading you right, but you say you are burning 700-900 cals. of exercise, but only eating back 1-200 of those. Listen to audio clip 2 @ www.fat2fitradio.com

You look mahvelous, absolooootly mahvelous! You should be proud, that was a lot of hard work. Eat a dessert!

You can always go to "weigh-in" on the My Home tab and choose "edit previous entries" and punch in your start date and your original weight on that date and it will add the additional loss to your ticker. Good luck.

Almonds, pita n taboulli or babaganoush, or baby carrots n hummus..

Short answer, yes, you can lose weight, but in the long run you can't be healthy. It's okay to put a couple of garbage calories in your 1200, like two 80-100 cal snacks, especially if you exercise alot, but remember that those 1000 cals left after your snack now need to be pretty nutritious to fuel your body.

85, if I move to Ontario!

Congratulations, you are where I strive to be!

No, you don't base anything on your BMR, but on your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). If you followed the wizard to arrive at your goal, that is what your body requires to function @ your job. Your daily goal will be 500 cals. (1 lb./ wk) or 1000 cals. (2 lbs./wk.) below your TDEE. This is your daily goal. If you…

Heck, I never even thought of that, but I used to get heartburn so bad after spicy meals, and all I eat is spicy meals, but it's gone now!

1. One of my students from November didn't recognize me as I walked past them in the hall. 2. Went to buy some new shorts for spring, fit into a 34. ( started @ 40) 3. Coworkers saying I inspired them to do something about their weight issues.

Never thought you'd be so excited to be "overweight", did you?

I recommend getting a book called Galloway on Running. It has plans for beginners and advanced and talks about how slowly you should increase distance. Also, you are a pronator; take your current shoes to a good running store in your area and ask them what shoe you should buy to help. They can tell by the wear pattern on…

51 yrs old, have lost 45 lbs. since Dec. 13, need to lose another 25.

I'm not a nutritionist, but it Looks to me like your meals are too large. You should reduce the size of each meal but add in 3 snacks each Day. When you eat a 900 cal breakfast, if you don't burn it up, It converts to fat. You should be eating about 60g of carbs for each meal and 15 g for each of 3 snacks each day. You are…

It's a terrific feeling, isn't it? I'm fitting in 34 waist shorts after stretching out 40 waist clothes for the last 2 years. I couldn't believe it.

I lost 12.2 in the first 18 days, and that included 4 potluck events. But I, too, noticed that my doctor's scale and my scale are about 3 lbs. different. I just take the 3 lbs. and apply it to his scale to equal what mine tell me. Of course, I'm also naked when I weigh myself at home and fully clothed when I do it there,…

Is that WHIPPED fat, 'cuz I've lost 43 of those bad boys, and I'm just not seeing it!

Sometimes I just chalk it up to gaining muscle mass, especially on weeks when I weight train more. I've lost 43, but the lbs. are becoming stubborn now. My tried and true methods that ALWAYS lost me weight, don't always work anymore. I've now tempered my expectations to 1 lb. per week rather than 2+. If you feel you've hit…

I'vebeen using them for a month. They are supposed to fill you up, they're a great source of fiber and protein. They are also supposed to lower BP. They leveled out my weight loss and made it less jerky. I eat a tbsp in the morning smoothie and another tbsp in my v8 juice in the afternoon.

Motto bene!

About 1450!

This, but after gaining 2.8 lbs. last week, I lost 3.8 so far this week.
