So what do you do when two sites give you different numbers??? I got 1446.25 at the dietician site and 1364 from this site....Which do I go with?

I would like to drop 10 pounds by Valentines Day. My boyfriend got us 4th row tickets to see Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood on February 16th. I would like to have dropped a size by then. As far as my check in for this week goes.... Starting weight: 166 Current weight: 143 Weight on 1/9/08: 143 Holding steady....but ready…

Remember to stretch before and after. Stretch more than you think is necessary. This can really help prevent soreness.

Okay here it is.... Starting weight: 166 Current weight: 143 Weight this morning 1/9/08: 143 Total weight loss: 23 lbs. I'm glad to have held steady at least. :ohwell: Good luck everyone! :flowerforyou:

Try this one. It's really good! I made this delicious meal for dinner and it was a big hit! I was craving a Chinese meal but knew that getting take out from the local place down the street could prove very unhealthy. I tried this meal instead and was satisfied. Hope you and your family like it as well I have also entered…

Hello Everyone! If you are like me one of the hardest things to find good, healthy substitutes for are the classic comfort foods. Tonight I made the following recipe and was amazed at how good it was. I did tweak the recipe a bit with my own fat free, low calorie versions of ingredients so I'm listing the ingredients that…

Thanks for the reminder! I will be doing my "Last Chance Workout" while I watch the show tonight to get ready for the big weigh in!!!!:wink:

Three things that I would suggest are 1. Bio Oil - I have used this for a scar but it can be used for stretch marks as well. It has been great for me. 2. Merderma - Another scar fading cream that can be used for stretch marks - I've used it before and it worked great 3. A fading cream - My mom used a fading cream (sorry I…

I found the chicken recipe at www.lowfatlifestyle.com and the broccoli one at www.eatingwell.com. They both have good recipes and I have more that are on my list to try. I"ll let you know what other tasty ones I come across. My new years resolution was to cook more instead of eating frozen dinners etc. so I'm all about…

I actually found a low-sodium version at the my local grocery store. It was just the regular Kroger brand. It's called Lite Soy Sauce and has 50% less sodium than regular soy sauce so it's well worth it!

You're welcome! I am actually eating a bowl right now as I chat on the site :wink: I added 1/4 a cup of brown rice to the mix and it only added 75 more calories. For some reason the rice gives it even more of that Chinese flavor.

Welcome, from another Virginian! I can relate to being an emotional eater which can really throw you off. It sounds like you are ready to get started again and that's great. Good luck!

Welcome aboard! This site can really help you keep track of nutrition and exercise. Good luck!

So does it hold true that the less you weigh the more you have to do to burn calories? I'm confused because 5 pounds ago my calories burned registered as more versus putting in the same activity for the same amount of time weighing 5 pounds less. Can anyone answer this please?

New scales can be tricky. They all seem to be off here or there or eventually get that way. Try weighing something like a 5 lb dumbbell to see if it is exactly on target.

(Sorry for the graphic descriptions here :blushing: )I have tried Alli. After all the hype I wanted to see if it worked or not. It did work for me. They provide you with pretty comprehensive information with the pack that you get. It works by expelling fat that would otherwise be taken in by your body. By doing this you…

Hi there! I just wanted to say thanks for your idea about the Valentine's Day challenge. After reading it and committing to it I actually got up and did 30 minutes of intervals on the treadmill. I had slacked off a bit over the holidays but this Valentine's Day Challenge has ramped up my motivation again! :flowerforyou:

Good for you!!!! You've gotta love it when the scale is your friend :happy:

Welcome aboard! I had 51 pounds to lose when I first started trying and am now down 23 pounds. I only wish that I had started using this website FIRST but since I've found it it's been great!!! Good luck and I'll see you around the site :flowerforyou:

Challenge accepted! I want to lose 10 pounds by Valentines Day. I have a special date planned for that weekend and would love to be able to by a great new outfit in a smaller size as my reward!!!! Good Luck Everyone! P.S. Are we going to check in to see eachother's progress??

WOW!!! You look great! Way to go!!!

I have to agree with the other posts. I weigh myself everyday regardless of what I ate the night before. I do this because it gives me a little extra motivation to exercise that day, etc. if I see the scale going up. The thing is that you have to do what works for you. Maybe try the month weigh in and see how it goes and…

For some reason today I am way under my calorie count (like 700 calories under). Trust me this isn't usually the case but I don't feel hungry right now. I try to cut off my eating at 7pm which is ten minutes away. Should I go ahead and eat even though I'm not hungry to bring up my count???

My boyfriend took green tea supplements in capsule form and had great success with them. I am very caffeine sensitive and haven't tried his supplements but do drink decaf green tea. The best tea I have found so far is called Wu-yi tea. You may have heard of it because supposedly Oprah and Rachel Ray use it in their diets.…

Hello there! Do you have a microwave and refrigerator at work?

If you are like me getting all the water you need for the day can be a challenge. I got a new water bottle for Christmas that has already made it easier. It's called the Moosejaw CamelBak Bottle and is available at www.moosejaw.com. It has a unique design and is so much easier to drink from than my old water bottles. Just…

Hey there! First, take a deep breath. Okay, now another. The worst thing you can do right now is beat yourself up. It's the holidays, most of us have slipped up at some point. Also, you said you were back at Curves today so that is GREAT. Afraid of the scale??? Skip it for a couple of weeks until you are into your routine…
