Many cereals are loaded with sugar. I think everybody here would agree, sugar is the enemy

800 Calories is not enough, your body thinks it's starving. It takes 1200 calories a day just to breathe and live. You should listen to everyone else here, boost up your calories,and eat several small meals spread thru the day. Also, you may want to check with your Doctor to make sure you dont have a thyroid issue. Dont…

Some really good ipod lists here,thanks for the responses.

Awesome movie! Cardio, cardio,cardio,then again, just dont be the slowest person in your group :) I am a big Zombie fan,so that sounds cool

Celery,carrots,Almonds,popcorn

Another thing that I think would work great,and I saw this on the Biggest loser the other day, is when Bob had the group workout in the small room they were stuck in. He assigned a deck of cards different exercises. For example, clubs were pushups,spades were jumping jacks,etc. And each number on the card indicated howw…

One thing I would suggest for a total body workout,and you can usually fit it anyplace is a heavybag. They can hang from your ceiling,or some have water filled bases to stand up. A great total body workout,all major muscle groups and cardio. Do short little bursts until you can work up to a sustained workout

One thing is for sure,it doesn't take much to get to 1200 calories. To all of you with a 1200 calorie a day budget,you should be proud of yourselves. I have 2430 a day limit in order to lose 2 pounds a week,and sometimes,I am surprised how quickly I get up to 2000. I start my day with a banana & cottage cheese, have a lean…

Great Job Nikki! What a start, and that will only boost your confidence. I know they say that the first 10 pounds is 'water weight', but 10 pounds is 10 pounds.

I am in the same boat as both of you,I have lost & gained weight for the last 10 years,but the most I ever lost was 25-35 pounds,and I would gain back 45 pounds. Now at my absolute max weight of 352 and cant,or WONT go any higher. Shooting for a total weight loss if 130-140 pounds,and would love to get down to 215-225…

Good job, you can see the results,pics dont lie

Yes, it definitely gives you confidence to see so many others doing the work and getting results,and knowing they were once just like you and just starting the weight loss journey

Pixi Good Luck. I am in the same boat,I NEED TO stick to it this time and drop some serious weight,and exercise.My situation is a bit different from yours. Where you said you have never been skinny,I used to be very skinny and in shape. I used to eat bad food, just like I do now. The difference is, my metabolism basically…

Thanks for the input,very helpful stuff. Besides trying to change my eating habits,it is clear I have to adopt good sleeping habits as well to aide in my weight loss,I am going to shoot for 7 hours a night.

If that's true, you could simply porr some nasty stuff on your food to ruin it so you dont want it. Drown it in tobasco sauce or something. I have been thinking about getting some to start my new year's diet figuring it can't hurt. Now I am wondering if I break down and cheat and get some bad food,that I could just quickly…

Some people like cottage cheese with all kinds of stuff,I prefer mine just with fruit. I eat Breakstones for breakfast....My faves are Apples&Cinnamon,Blueberry,and pineapple. 1 Container has 100 calories, I eat it with a banana or piece of toast. I have tried various types of cottage cheese,and tried mixing my own fruit…

Thanks for the recipes, I am going to try these shakes too, I have heard alot of good things about them, mostly that people stay full.

I eat them alot, I try to alternate between Smartones, Lean Cuisines,and Healthy Choice meals. They all are pretty tasty,and have lots of varieties,but they can be high in sodium. Since each meal contains about 200-400 calories,even if you eat one for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it still is not enough calories, so you…
