Hi! Great Idea, love the biggest loser. Starting weight 211 current weight: 196.5

yeah, i am used to having to take Provera to get a period every few months. I have not had a period naturally in forever. I finally started last night, light, but hey, better than going another 6 months without one right?? I have read that women with PCOS can benefit from diet/excersise. I read that by losing as little as…

the problem is you can't focus weight loss on anyone body part, it comes off where it comes off. all you can do is work out to tone your body. the more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn, and the more you work out the faster your metabolism. you will start to see the difference all over, including the parts…

ok anyone out there have PCOS? since I have been dieting and working out the last month and a half or so, i am wondering if the weight loss is stirring up my hormones. I know that they say that weighloss can do that when you have pcos. this month it seems like my body wants to have a period but is having a hard time. I…

I think that everyone is different. I have been working out (not so much the last 2 weeks) and dieting, and i have only lost 3 pounds, but i have lost 2 inches off my waist and i think i finally went from a size 14 to a 12. In the last year of dieting off and on, i have lost 4 inches off my waist, but only 13 pounds. so i…

I crave sweets too. If you go cold turkey, after about 2 weeks the cravings will go away. I know it is hell at first, but this is what I did and i do not have the cravings anymore. i still have a treat sometimes, but i am very carefull because if i eat to many of them, my cravings come back and i have to start again. it…

Ok here is good news. house work counts as exercise (great for those of us that are busy and don't always have time to do both! Found a website that calculates calories burned. you put in your weight and enter the minutes and it tells you. I spent 75 minutes cleaning this morning, burned 328 calories!…

here is my problem. I am doing great, but I work at a police station and the citizens are always bringing us all kinds of goodies for the holidays to thanks us for our work, it is so hard for me to walk through the kitchen and see all those sweets on the table and not have some.

This is another good one for fish or chicken: 1 or 2 fillet of fish, I used Tilapia 2 tomatillos, chopped 2 tbs Franks Red Hot sauce 1/4 cup chopped onion juice of one lime 2 or 3 slices of lime saute (or bake with pam) tomatillos, onion, lime juice, and lime slices until soft in about a Tbs of vegetable oil. Add fish,…

Inches!!! When you work out you are building muscle and it weighs more than fat, so you can burn fat and get lean without losing any weight. I have lost 1 1/2 inches in the last 3 weeks and only lost 3 pounds. Over the last 6 months I have lost 3 1/2 inches and only 12 pounds. So inches count more that weight. I started…

Yes! I noticed my skin is smoother, has better texture, and I have a rosy glow! It is nice to see a result of all the hard work!!

well my weight is the same, but I have lost an inch and a half in the last three weeks! Yaay! :wink:

Try cooking the brown rice with chicken broth instead of water, it adds a great flavor. that is what I do. I gave up most of the refined white carbs too, now i eat whole grain bread, brown rice, ect. My husband can't tell the difference between the regular and the whole wheat pasta.

I have been drinking pounds of water for 2 days now (atleast that is what it feels like) and I already feel thinner!! -accept today, i drank a big root beer. but I am gonna go fill it up with water now and drink it. (I had to treat myself , it is my birthday.!:flowerforyou:

well I measured my waist this morning, I have lost an inch in the past 3 weeks. only three pounds showing on the scale, but I definalty look thinner, even my husband noticed. I know i also need to start working out more times a week. right now I am only doing it three times a week.

yeah, I think I am. I took my measurements a couple of days ago, i lost half an inch from my waist. I just hate that the numbers dont change. it has only been about 2 and a half weeks, so i am just impatient.

Well I am "going" plenty, almost to much. Here is what I ate today: cheerios w/ 2% milk coffee small chicken breast roasted in broth, lime, cilantro, chili powder, and tomatillos brown rice broccoli w/cheese banana coffee cake w/cool whip (oops) and for dinner another small chicken breast cooked the same, and brown rice,…

i dont think you can gain wait from one bad day. It would take a few of them to do it. you have to eat 3500 more calories than you can burn to put on one pound. so unless you ate like 12000 calories, dont sweat it! Happy birthday!:drinker:

Ok is anyone else having this??? I am excercsing about 2 or 3 times a week, and doing good on my diet, the first week I lost 3 pounds. My numbers have not changed since. I am leaner, my husband has commented, I do look a little thinner, and I am more toned, but my numbers are not changing. He told me it is because you gain…

Do you have eggs? Make an egg white omlete, or scrambled egg whites with toast. scrambled eggs with a little milk, and whatever veggies you have, or even a tablespoon of salsa is something i make a lot. it has lots of flavor and very little calories.

Welp here is my theory on cheating. I think that it is necessary, in moderation, to keep you on track, as long as you stay away from certain things and do it in small amounts. My sister read about something called "trigger foods" and it said that we all have a certain food that causes us to crave the bad things that we…

I get that too, my metabolism is through the roof since i started to workout again, I am hungry every 2 hours, but i have managed to stay in my calories by changing what i am eating, eating 6 times a day, small meals and snacks, veggies, fish, fruit, subway sandwiches, lots of water, no junk food and as little suger as i…

Yes, you have to account for all the calories you burn! I found a website the other day with a calorie calculator that tells you how many calories you burn just doing your day to day life, just to live, of course now I can't find it, but I know mine was around 1600 calories, not including what i do to work out. I think the…

Just finally starting good. Started as of last week: 201.5 This morning 111907: 200.00 A pound and a half. Hopefully the grill cheese I ate last night didn't do me in. Eating a lot of fish, it seems to be helping.

1 lb shrimp, cleaned and peeled, or 2 fish filets (whatever you like, I used tuna and tilapia) Juice of 2 limes 2 tbs hot sause 2 tbs vegatable oil chopped cilantro, to taste, I use about 1/4 cup in a pan put the oil, hot sauce, and lime juice and heat it up. put in the fish/shrimp. add the cilantro. cook until done. (cook…

You should not starve yourself to stay within your calories! Try drinking more water, eating more veggies and fruits, and also there is always excercise. The more calories you burn, the more you can eat. Starving yourself will only work against you, it will slow down your metabolism instead of speeding it up. Shoot for…
