  • What I do is set my weight loss at 1 lb a week, which gives me 1570 calories for my current weight, but I exercise each day and I try to only eat back my calories until I reach around a net of 1200 calories. I'm not too strict about it if I go a little bit over 1200 net, and it's working for me. I do it that way because I…
  • I wish I had asked this question a couple of weeks ago when I was sick, because I ended up not really eating much for two days, and my weight loss has stalled out since then. I've actually gained a couple of pounds that I can't shake since I've been well. Starvation mode is true!
  • I started day 1, level 1 this morning. I'm glad I didn't feel like I was going to die like I thought I might. I'm slightly tired now, but that may be because I STILL haven't had my coffee yet. I'm only doing 4 days a week while my son is in preschool for a couple of reasons. 1.) It's a little hard on my knees, and 2.) it's…
  • 5'3 210 Old Navy 14 It's been awhile since I've been able to say I wear a 14 in anything. My American Eagle jeans are a 16, but I think I've finally graduated from American Eagle clothes. Last time I was able to wear their smaller sizes comfortably, I was in my early 20s. I'm 29 now and don't want to wear my jeans in such…
  • Mine will be four this month, and I've been yo-yoing the same 30 pounds since he was born. This time, it is going to stick. I have a lofty goal of getting down to the high end of what I weighed in high school, and I have a lot of motivation this time, so the time is now. Good luck! :)
  • I use fat free half and half...switched from sweetened, flavored creamers. One serving of the flavored stuff has fifteen more calories for half as much creamer. My two tbsp of fat free half and half usually does nicely for my entire (four cup) pot of coffee in the mornings. Sometimes, I add another half serving of the half…
  • First time posting...trying to get the baby weight off (plus some) nearly 4 years later. I lost 30 lbs last year, but gained almost all of it back. Better late than never to get it off once and for all!! My start weight was 219.4 on 1/6 1/13- 216 1/20- 214.6 So far, so good!
  • I often go for walks outside in regular clothes. I have an almost four year old, and no car when his dad is at work, so I'm often walking him back and forth from preschool, and even that mile round trip has made a difference on the scale in just a week and a half. Even if you don't have a kid, you can definitely walk…
