I eat, if I'm actually hungry. Sit down and really think about it, are you craving or is your stomach growling? Are you bored, stressed? Try writing down your emotions BEFORE you eat. I just started doing that and I've realized that I'm def. not always hungry when I want to eat. If you are actually hungry, try one of…

I HATE that one too, especially when the woman says 'You really can't do this on your own'! I want to punch her. lol

I didn't lose 40 in 3 months, but I did lose that much in 4 months. I weighed 179 on Dec. 24, 2011 & by May 1st I was down to 138. All I did was walk 4 miles a day and stayed under on my cals, having at least the minimum of 1200. I ate healthy, quality food including lean chicken, lean beef, fish, tons of vegetables,…

440 minutes? I'd be dead. ETA: Oops, sorry I didn't see your correction. I'd say it is entirely possible. My son in law is tall and I dont know what he weighs, I'd guess about 200, but he burns anywhere from 800-1100 in an hour. He REALLY works hard at it though and sweats like crazy so I def. believe it. I'm a short…

I was dating a guy, called him at work on a Friday night and they told me he went home due to an 'emergency'. I was worried so I called his house and nothing had happened. Hmm. Then one of HIS friends shows up at my house, saying that my boyfriend was out with some other girl and didn't want to be with me anymore! THEN…

I like unsweetened, natural apple sauce or 2 tsp of raspberry seedless jam. yummm. I actually like that better than ice cream.

I'm the same way! I do walk briskly for about 10 minutes to warm up instead and that works.

I don't know if this will help you or not but I'll tell you my experience. I can run for over an hour, my pulse stays around 160 (way high for my max, which is actually in the 150's), I feel fine and feel like I could go on forever. I'm not out of breath and I completely enjoy it. However, as soon as I slow down for my…

Mine isn't. I was 40lbs fatter in this pic. I just put it up today to remind me how awful I looked and to encourage me to stick to my goals. It's around 3 years old. I have more recent pics in my profile though.

I agree. If someone has a strong opinion about something, they can still say it in a NICE way, not like they are rude, know it alls. I think they are craving attention and it's usually the same cowardly crowd that does it. Grow up people, this is a site for support, not bullying. Yeah, its the internet and people in 'real…

I can't really think of anything I have given up entirely, except for the way I USED to eat. I still eat what made me fat, I just eat less of it, don't have it as often and I make room for it. Kind of like living 'within my means' with food. It works and I'm not on a 'diet'. Actually I eat a bigger variety of food now.

It's not an actual 'cereal', but I loveee steelcut oats with honey. If I still ate crap, it would be Capn Crunch!

I have free tickets to a hockey game but I don't know if I'll go or not. If not, I'll watch a movie at home in my pjs. :)

When I find that I'm 'losing' my will power, I sit down and write a list of my goals. I look over them and write a new list of what I need to do to achieve them. That usually does it. Sometimes all it takes is a good look at myself naked, in the full length mirror. Cured! I also play a mind trick on myself. I tell myself…

My first trail run last summer. That was my ultimate running goal and the first time I had done it since I was a child. I loved every single minute of it! Alone in the woods, the sights and sounds of nature, just me and the trail. Love love love doing that.

I'm sticking with Splenda and honey. I think stevia, the liquid anyway, has a horrible aftertaste that's worse than sacharrin. Yuck

I can't even imagine having it everywhere. It's stressful! I'm seeing a dermatologist for a rash on my arms, hands, that he thinks is a fungus. It sucks to have diaper rash on your arms because you're always sweating! I just can't get over the fact that my body is so sweaty, in winter, to allow that 'stuff' to grow. I have…

I don't know if I have that, but I sweat like crazy, mainly my head and neck area. When I'm on a treadmill at the gym, I have to have a towel with me or I give the people next to me a shower. Sweat literally flies off me. I just wipe it every 5 minutes with a soft towel I bring with me. I also have rosacea, so when I work…

Ive been married for 34 years and I'm still begging my husband to shave his head bald. He won't do it for me and I'm thinking he will have hair forever. :cry:

None. I lost 40lbs while walking, before I became a runner. I haven't lost any weight, in fact, I have gained but I measure smaller in a few places and still wear my small jeans. I started lifting 4 weeks ago and still havent lost any weight so, now I'm adding walking back to my routine.

Thai sweet chili sauce is tasty and it doesn't take much to add flavor. I also use whatever sauce I put on fish or chicken that I grill. My fav is a fresh orange juice, garlic & maple syrup reduction. I just put the fish on top of the rice (that was cooked with broth), then pour some of the sauce I didn't baste the meat…

I lost 40lbs, am in a healthy weight range and I still have it, but I don't snore like I did. I think it depends on why you have it. If it's from an obstruction that you can shrink with weightloss, then maybe it can go away. If it's from a 'floppy' airway, you'll still have it. For me, I just randomly stop breathing over…

I doubt that the little kids are getting high off of smoke that comes from next door. A health dept wouldn't shut down any business because someone next to it is smoking pot. Building bombs? Maybe. Parents wont like it if they smell it, but not because of the smoke, they might be worried more about WHO lives next door…

You probably don't have any fat left to lose. I'm 5'3 and 115 is at the low range for me.. Sounds like you could use some counseling to deal with your body image.

I hope you're just kidding!

Gotta love a body buzz, anywhere.:love:

What finally worked for me was that I decided to ENJOY my workouts so I'd be more likely to do them again. I started out walking, only 2mph for 10 minutes. A walk I'd enjoy, not suffer through or even sweat. It worked! Once I got started, I couldn't stop. I walked over 1,000 miles for charity, and ME, last year, dropped…

The older you are, the fewer calories you need to maintain. Thought I'd add that. If I get no exercise in, I will eat 1200 or less. My old, short, small-boned body doesn't need any more than that. On the other hand, if I do get in an awesome workout, like burning 800 or so, I'll eat all the exercise cals I want, but only…

I'm ocd and I have a bunch. :( I have to load the silverware in my dishwasher just right. All of the soup spoons in the back row with the little spoons in front, the knives on the back row of the other side and the forks in front of the knives. It annoys the crap out of me if someone else loads it, but I never say anything…

Hell no, he already wants to jump my bones too often. :heart:
