  • AGREED! I knew they were up to no good. Healthy sustainable weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week. I hate it when people say "I ONLY lost a pound this week...." ONLY? ONLY? A pound in a week is fantastic. But that stupid show is ruining people because they think 5 pounds in a week is reasonable when it's not. It's crap. I'm a…

  • Very true,in the summer. But if you live in the northern hemisphere, then, as my doctor said, "you could sit outside naked on a sunny day in January, and you still won't make any vitamin d because the sun is not strong enough." I take a year round dose of 1200 IU daily and I do find that it helps a great deal.

  • In the past, I have used a big sign taped to my pantry door with a reminder on it. I put my goal weight and then, "think about this before you eat!!" on the sign. A visual reminder is great for these moments when we go on autopilot and fall into old habits. But the sign makes me stop and think, then shake my head, and walk…

    in Newb, returning to finish the deed and dump off the last 30 Comment by amwj313 August 2010
  • I hear you ladies loud and clear. I was 220 lbs the day I delivered. I gained 50 lbs when I was pregnant. Then I said enough is enough and worked really hard and lost 60 lbs. Which was great! I have maintained **most** of that weight loss, but gained approx 20 back over the past 2 years. I joined here because I need…

  • At the very least you should be eating your 1200 calories because (as someone also said) if you don't eat enough your body will adjust, and go into starvation mode. I don't think it's a big deal that you are not also eating your "extra" calories earned through exercise since you aren't feeling hunger. But if the point…
