Did you do anything special with the kraut? Sounds intersting.

Wishing everyone a Happy Friday. I will try and check in next week. I have not even been able to record my food & exercise everyday this week. Just loads of things going on at the same time.

Hello everyone, Welcome to all the new women. Healing thoughts and prayers to those in need. Congratulations to all those who have made progress toward goals. Hope everyone is doing well so far this week. Dawn

Hello everyone. Things have been very hectic the last couple of weeks. I am not going to try and catch up on the posts but will continue from here. Weight has stayed the same. Hope everyone has a wondeful Friday. Dawn

Congratulations! A great accomplishment. Thanks for sharing all you have learned during the last year.

I was confused for a bit too. I found the same formula on a number of websites. You always work with the amount of weight lost. Take the weight lost(starting weight - current weight) and divide it by the starting weight. Multiply by 100 to get from decimal to the percent lost. For example: Starting weight of 172 - current…

It has shed some light on some issues for me too. Although I did not complete all of the exercises, I am more aware when I am emotionally eating.

That is a great accomplishment. You also were wondering if you were listening to your body. It sure sounds like it to me,especially since you were having a physical reaction of light headedness.

BMR to my understanding is the MINIMUM amount of calories your body needs to survive if you were staying in bed all day and sleeping. Then you add to that for what you do working, eating, sitting, exercising and so on. I had a low daily calorie amount when i started too. I was not losing at all. Looked at my BMR and found…

Good Afternoon! I had responded to a lot of you before I realized the thread was at 500.:ohwell: I am not going to try and recapture all of that. Just know that I read the posts and appreciate how open you all are to sharing joys and struggles on this thread. Sally-how is the neck/shoulder feeling? What did the trainer…
