Try some strength training, lifting weights three times per week can change the tone of your body even if the scale doesn't move. Clothes fit better and even may go down a size without the scale changing. Plus the effects of muscle use can last 2-3 days after the event occurred where cardio effects last only as long as you…

It sounds like you could benefit with some professional help to deal with the stress and unhealthy food binging. I would recommend a counselor who could help address both of your issues.

Maybe check the fitbit site and see If they have a user's manual.

Two things were the turn around for me. First was my husband leaving me after 34 years of marriage. I was blindsided by it, devastated, and couldn't eat because if I was thin enough he would come back. After months, I realized that he wasn't coming back no matter what so I took a hard look at myself and decided it was me I…

Don't lose weight for the wedding, lose it for a healthy, happier you, for you future kids and grandkids. You are starting the rest of your life today so make it a healthy one.

I want to do stairs like this. She is having a lot of fun and getting a better work out.

I am a health care provider and I have prescribed this medication a lot with the healthy eating and exercise discussion with the patient. I am sad to say that the long term effects of the weight loss don't stick around. You must have all the good habits in place so that when you stop the medication those habits will carry…

I do both....I strength train 3 days a week and cardio 3 days per week. I love the feeling of improving what poundage I can lift and it feels good to know that I am strong. And it is never too late to start. I was 53 when I started. with cardio you can lose the weight with weight lifting you can shape the body so it is a…

How are your non scale victories such as your body fat measurements, and your waist, hips, chest, thigh, calf measurements? How do your clothes fit? Those can tell a story as well.

I had to look up lebert bars, had never heard of them. It looks like you can get a great work out with them.

Find a new gym. Mine is not like that at all. I go for the free weights and other non cardio equipment and the free cross fit classes they offer. No cardio indoors for me unless it is the elliptical at home.

Do not eat back your exercise calories if you want to lose weight. having said that, eat back the calories once every 5 days so you don't feel like you are starving your body to death.

Living in Oregon and 54. This site has been great for me. I have lost 70 pounds with the support from here and hard work . As you can see I have gained some of it back and recommitted this month to get the last 20 pounds off and keep it off. Add me if you like and good luck with the journey to the new you.

I am 54, 5ft 6 in, and 147 pounds I try to wean down to one a day and then pretty soon I am back up to 3 a day and have to start all over again. I also drink 120 ounces of water per day as well. Maybe I just need to go cold turkey. When I was on chemotherapy diet coke tasted nasty and I was hoping that it would carry over…

Eastern Oregon. The drier side of Oregon.

In for the recipes. Sound of them sound awesome. Thanks.

I did it in June. Next year I am going all out in a costume of some sort. It is more of a party, a few ran but most people walked. I would also get more color bombs than I did to get my team more colorful, or figure out how to make them myself.

I love my elliptical. I burn more calories and feel like I get a much better leg workout on it then I ever did on my treadmill.

Anyone??????????????

I walked to school and it was uphill both ways.

Do it for the person that looks back at you in the mirror and no one else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Complex carbs good, simple carbs bad. End of story.

Worked for me.....went from XL/16 to Sm/4. Calories in -calories out= weight loss. Oh and accountability. Started May 2012 and have been maintaining for 4 months.

Never skip breakfast. Maybe you are hungry at night because you aren't eating enough filling stuff during the day such as fruits and vegetables. Also step away from the carbs at night and eat a protein source instead.
