how many pounds are you trying to lose a week? I am 5'7 and was never put that low. Ever. I was trying to lose 1 pound a week and when I started, i weighed 188. I was given 1780 calories a day and I too said I was sedentary. When I got down to 150 pounds, I was given 1301 calories. Maybe you have your goal of weight loss…

I have had to replace my wardrobe 3 times and I mean a complete change out. I tried to sell some of my clothes at a consignment/ second hand store. That way I didn't feel quite so guilty about buying all new clothes that were not going to fit for very long. It's not easy though. I was so excited that I had lost all the…

I love this infomercial! :love: I think it might do fine by you, but you will need to experiment a lot. A long time ago I had something similar that I got at a discount store (I think sunbeam makes a less fancy and less expensive version). I used it constantly for 3-4 months and then lost all interest. I never made cake in…

Welcome. I wish you great success!

how about... you lose more calories at home than at the gym, because your hubby won't stop chasing you around!:blushing:

thanks for this. Just yesterday I was trying to figure out what my goal body fat % should be- and viola! here it is.:smile:

I was in the mood for something sweet so I had corn flakes, with skim milk, a banana and a Tablespoon of walnuts.

:flowerforyou: feel better!

you can put "strength training" into the cardio section. It will give you a number.

Hi there. I would really recommend going to a site that is designed for pregnancy. This site is geared toward weight loss and is not where your head needs to be right now. communicating with other women who are going through this very thing right now is a truly wonderful thing. There are so many sites out there (like…

I'm not sure that will work. I think you will get a lot of not so good tasting brown stuff as you will rinse any flavor away with the fat and really at that point, you will also be washing money down the drain. You are paying for the fat you will be washing off and since that fat makes up part of the volume of the food,…

congrats! Keep it up.

thanks for the link to the article. Real good info!

hey folks. I'm looking for some new work out music and wondering if you have a song that really gets you moving. I'm getting a little tired of No More Tears- (the extended dance mix!)

Thanks everyone! I'm glad I asked. Not just for the information, but hearing of your successess gives me inspiration as well. Congrats to all. Cheers!

I just lost 10 pounds and went down a solid pant size. I'm wondering what other folks (I geuss women cuz it's really different for men) have found to be the number of pounds lost to equal a lower pant size. I'd like to lose a pound a week and if I am successful, will this mean a smaller size every 10 weeks? I would love…

I agree that the eliptical is best. It burns a lot of calories, you can gently work you abs while you do it, just by trying to balance yourself without holding on and personally, I think it's the most fun! Aside all that, if money is an issue, see if your local craigslist or freecycle (if you have one) has a cheap or even…

Hi all, I am ending my first week of really tracking my calories and trying to stay within my limit. While I feel hungry sometimes, I noticed that mostly I ate before when I was not hungry, just bored or something. I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you!
