If your weight loss has not stalled, I wouldn't change anything. Keep up the good work.

Remember that you body is in shock with all the changes that you are making. You might start seeing a little bit more of a difference as your body acclimates to the changes that you have made. The one thing that I learned today is that the scale is not always my friend. I actually gained this past week; however, I am down…

You have no idea how much I need that today. Then again maybe you did or God did and that is why you wrote it. You are truly an inspiration. God truly works through you and for you.:smile:

I think of those exercise calories as a security blanket. I have worked out and if I need a little help then they are there. I am trying really hard to not use them; however, if I need to break the just in case box I have it available.

I actually go to my Weight Watchers meetings every Wednesday, so I will be weighing in,

When putting it on your plate use the cooked measurement. If i am not mistaken the food calculator attached to this web site does the measurement cooked.

Here is the problem with zig-zag dieting. Your body works better when you give it a steady diet of calories per day. If your body believes that each day you are going to starve it and then the next day feed it; it will store what you eat and you will not lose. For good weight loss (according to my doctor and my A&P…

Chicken Breast. Brown or White Rice

I hve the same problem with my back. I got a WII fit and love it. You can start small and work your way up. Just start moving if it is only for 10 minutes at a time.

Okay. I just got back from doing mine and I can actually say I am a couch potatoe. I couldn't do the jogging just yet, it hurt to bad; however, I did the full walk time with my lab. We walked down to blockbuster to turn in movies and walked back. I am probably going to end up doing week one at least twice just to get to…

Count me in as a friend. I need all the motivation I can get. I have only been doing this for a little over a week.

Log everything you eat. And stay on this site. This site is amazing and everyone on here is willing to help you with your journey.

I tried the Atkins diet and it was to much food for me. Made me sick eating all that meat.

My brother-in-law did these and he lost the weight; however, he also had to start exercising at the same time. This helped him tone up. A girl at work did the injections without working out and she lost weight; however, she had flab since she didn't work out.

Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches are the bomb. They taste just like an ice cream sanwich and you get the Chocolate and Ice Cream craving over with.

I have M&M's. I take out about 10 M&M's and have those. This usually helps me get through the craving.

I still have like 300 and something more. I am not going to eat them though. I know why I am so under, I just plan on changing it tomorrow.

Don't think of it as 15 lbs. Think of it in smaller increments and it won't be so bad. I have a lot more than 15 pounds to lose; however, I am taking it 5 lbs at a time. Makes me feel better to see the weight shed off this way. This also helps with some of the bad decisions. If you think about it 5 lbs is easier to gain or…

I am in. We should just be finishing by the time school starts, which would be nice to be able to move around campus without worrying about how close I can park. Your Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday is good for me.

lipstick.

I know that I have this problem. I do WW as well and reward myself with a chocolate shake on weigh in day. (WTF!!!) Anyway, I believe that we need to find a new reward system. Food is not it. As far as desserts go, having 2 is not the problem it is having 2 full servings that is the problem. split them up into smaller…

Since it is hotter than last time, you might not react the same way. I would open the windows, sleeping with the windows close could cause so many more problems.

The one thing that I am starting to do is to plan my meals and add them in first so I know where I stand before I even start the day. This way not only do you already know what type of calories you are going to intake, but you can also remove things that you don't feel you need once you see how it looks on your tracker. I…

For the Wii: There is a game called Just Dance that is a great workout. Also, the biggest loser game gives me a good workout.

Feel free to add me as a friend as well. Maybe I can help you. I good at helping other. I just trying to get better at helping myself.:heart: :flowerforyou:

I am in. I am actually doing weight watchers on top of this website. Hopefully, I think that this will be a wonderful challenge for me. I am a competive person, so if I know that I have promised to do something, I will follow through with it. Starting Weight: July 5th = 278.6 Goal Weight: August 1st = 269 I know that this…

This is my first week. My goal is to track everything I eat and work out at least three times this week.

Hi. My best friend told me about this website over dinner. She said it has helped her get the support and motivation that she needed to help her on her journey. I am at a standstill in my weightloss and thought that if I had some new ideas it would help. She has also done so well, that she jump started my desire to get…
