Not true if you are eating less. It makes your muscles stonger to burn more. The only way it will make you bulky is if you eat alot and work out.

Yes I do and it burns more calories than even cardio alone. I do both and love it I don't just want to loose weight either. Why just loose weight and have flabby skin. I want to tone it as well

Hey! I try to make sure I never fall under 1,200. If you go under that it will take forever to loose the weight. It comes off much slower but it will eventually come off. Some people call it starvation mode. Really what that means is your metabolism slows because it's getting less. The only time I don't reach it is when it…

Protein is HUGELY filling. I always go way over. I eat Chicken, cheese (small amts) eggs, turkey sausage, shrimp etc all excellent sources of protein and they fill me up. Works for me. :-)

Hey! I don't think it have to be that different. You can pack your food for the "work period" in a small cooler and keep it with you. Lots of healthy stuff will fit in it. Don't let that be an excuse. You can do it! and by the way...thanks for your service!!!

This is what Weight Watchers says about Starvation Mode. I found it very insightful. The Starvation Myth The idea that "not eating enough" causes the body to stop losing weight because it goes into "starvation mode" is a popular myth among dieters. Article By: The Weight Watchers Research Department Restricting calories…

Any one that would unfriend you for that...has their OWN issues....NOT you. We all have to learn what OUR bodies need and if you are losing weight then whatever! The person that unfriended you has the issue not you. Think no more about it and friend me. :-)

I got to have my coffee too, but until I start loosing weight, and until i have extra calories to burn I have been drinking mine black. I know that's not for everyone. The only other thing I can promise you sometimes when you first start using splenda and fat free creamers, at first they aren't great but surprisingly you…

Oh yes it's work but it will be rewarding work in the end is the way I try and think of it. I do keep WAY better track of what I am bringing into my body when I am honest and complete the food diary daily as I go along. We won't have to do it forever either. Just until we have lost the weight and at that point we will be…

I too struggle with this and my picky 9 year old daughter who doesn't want chicken and that's one of the biggest things I need to have. I just tell her she has to tryTRY it. I won't force her to eat something she hates but have told her she would be amazed at how much there is out there she hasn't tried that's great. Then…

WOW 47 pounds that's awesome! What an inspiration.

My name is Dawn. I am 40 years old and need to lose atleast 60 pounds to be in healthy weight. I am always looking for friends on here in the same spot for support. Feel free to friend me.

Hey! It's so easy to make excuses not to exercise. It together with good healthy eating habits is the only way to loose weight. I just plan and then do without thinking about it. Kinda of like a robot. Once I get rolling I am sooooooooo glad I did it. You can do it too! It really does feel after. A great big since of…

I am a true lover of food. I have been told lots of Veggies and Proteins. I have gone online and found lots of receipes and just start trying them. I found South Beach does a great job at making yummy food that's low in Calories. There is no replacing the white breads, rices and pastas though. That is something we just…

It's only been a week, keep that in mind. I KNOW you will see some results next week. Don't give up! You can do it!

Thank you for sharing this. I have about the same amt. of weight to loose and to see someone who's done it...well that just encourages. What exactly did you do? Count Calories a specific plan? You look amazing, did you do a specific exercise plan? How did you stay motivated (or counter) when you wanted to just say to heck…

I am sending my prayers your way. Eating Poorly today will do nothing but make you feel even worse in the end of the day. You have enough to work through you don't needed that added on. Please talk with God, HE CAN help carry you through. I try to pray each time I eat snack or meal asking him to help me not to overeate…

I also am restarting. I would be happy to be friends and support each other!
