  • My best friend apparently didn't think she was being rude when she told me I was huge while I was pregnant. She kept saying off handed remarks about my weight laughing about how big I was. I was always afraid to see her after the baby was born because I was afraid she would tell me how I huge I still was. That was my…
  • I am about 5 pounds away from my goal weight but honestly would like to lose 5 to 10 more pounds so I definately see using this on a day to day basis all summer and into the fall and probably at least three months into maintenance to make sure I know what I am doing and then I will probably log here and there and not on a…
  • I do Zumba every Saturday morning for the past two months and I also do Zumba 2 on the Wii at home two to three times a week. Since starting Zumba (two months ago). I have lost 17 pounds. Love, Love, Love it! Bout the only excerise I do anymore except go for a run or walk here or there.
  • They just don't work on you. I have taken them several times.....Phentermine. Evertime I get prescribed them I lose less weight because my body gets used to them. Before I start trying other drugs and really forming a problem, I just decided to try losing it the right way so I would learn how to keep it off. This way works…

  • 13 pounds the first month.
  • Two of my really good friends got pregnant on it last year. Doesn't sound like it works the best for what it is suppose to do. I have tried it for a couple of months myself so glad I never kept with it. I have the Mirena IUD or actually IUC. Stays in for 5 years. They say you gain up to 10 pounds. I am still losing on it.…

  • My goodness people she doesn't need a counselor or a pshychiatrist. She doesn't have an eating disorder. If she was eating a cracker a day and diet coke then yes seek professional help. The most professional help she needs might be a dietician. It is hard from going to eating all you want to restricting everytthing. It is…
  • I felt that way at first. It has taken me a while heck it really took me a couple of months to realize that over 1000 is best and also my body started craving more. I think the fear is a beginner thing. Don't worry if you eat more, I am still losing and I am eating my 1200 and over calories. :) Everyone commenting please…
  • The reason why you would get the game on the X Box kinect or a Wii is because there is about 800 different dances you can do, different levels of impact, different time settings, it will tell you how many calories you burned, etc. etc. A DVD is like one dance over and over and over again, it would get boring. You will get…
  • Zumba 2 for Wii but I Love Love Love Love Zumba!
  • Your both enablers. I would call the cops on him for smoking pot in your home. What a nice wake up call for your husband in stepson. If your stepson doesn't like it, then he can leave. If your husband doesn't like it, he can leave. Case solved. You did what was right. Don't be an enabler. It will tear you down.
  • I hate FB so much, I just wish it didn't exist it is like high school. I must admit though, I am addicted to the bs crap, just not as much as I used to be, thank God! I don't post anymore unless it is about my kids, and pics are only kid pics for the family. It is the only way they get to see them since the gparents all…
  • I started January 31st 2012 so haven't been here long but I have been on here every day and I have logged every day. I haven't really considered any day a cheat day so far. I guess that would be considered a binge day and I haven't binged yet. I have gone ove but just by 100 or 200 cals I hardly count that as binging or…
  • Yep do it. I have seen bigger girls and older ladies in my Zumba class. They tend to go to back which is fine. There is a bit of jumping and some brisk moves that some just don't do. Heck, I am smaller framed and I have to take a breather on some it but LOVE it! It is so much and I would never tell anyone to let weight…
  • Wow, this hits home on how I think and eat. Saving this for future reference, thank you.
  • Of course my husband knows he has to live with this everyday, LOL. My family knows but it would only be me just mentioning in passing I don't bring it up all the time. I only have only told friends and co workers who I thought would care to know or who would be interested in hearing about it. I also work in a physicians…
  • ^^^^^^Oppps that should say months not weeks.
  • 13 pounds the first week, 10 pounds the second week, this is my third week and have lost 2.4 pounds so far.
  • You look great, your face is thinner and you look healthier and happier!
  • Yes a little too much, because sometimes I really need to go ahead and eat when my body tells me too especially if I have excerise calories there that are waiting for me to eat. I have found that it to be quite accurate though. I have been on this site for a little over two months and I now track it more to see how…
  • ^^^^^^^^This, I want the football player or jock that is big. It doesn't matter if they have gained weight since their glory days because so have I. I just want them to have broad shoulders and nice arms that I can hold on to. I also like some muscle too. My poor husband gains weight and loses it so much that he is covered…
  • My sister is also very skinny and so is my Mother. Both have always been very suportive of me when I am trying to lose weight or if I have lost weight I only get encouragement from both of them. That is how it should be. I am glad your Mother has came around, do something with her alone without your sister like other…
  • This ^^^^^^^^^^ is so true. Week 2 sucks! You might lose up to three pounds on week 3 just to make up for week 2. You can search the boards for week 2 results and see how lousy the results are for many. Everyone questions week 2. I found that eating more and having some spike days in week 2 or if you are of week 2 then in…
  • Three bites of all side dishes. One of the cardiologist here in city wrote a book and stating if you don't know the calories of something only have three bites of it. I think that is a pretty good standard to go by. So....three bites of all the side dishes and one main meat and a small piece of dessert. Waa Laa Easter…
  • Yes, I know many people who have done this. Wrestlers did this in highschool to "cut" weight. The art of cutting weight was basically losing weight before weigh in so that they could reach a certain weight the day before they wrestled. They also spited into cups to get rid of saliva, and it work out trash bags and sleep in…
  • I googled "free weightloss plans and trackers" or something to that nature. I just had a baby and tried to follow the old weight watcher plan on my own and it wasn't working and I was trying to track everything I was eating in a notebook on paper. I didn't want to spend any money because I am poor. I found this site and…
  • No you can not do this on your own. I see you only have one friend on here. You need some friends honey. I am sending you a request. Please accept it. I will cheer you on. I see you have a daughter. I just had a baby in December and gained a whopping 50 pounds. I can completely understand wanting to be a role model for…
  • I am always hungry at night and I like to eat at night so I always plan ahead and save some calories for my nighttime snack and then I eat. I have never done the don't eat after whatever time. I have always lost weight so why start it.
  • I would love to! Got two kids and a full time job. I have the eating part down but need the motivation to work out. I go to a Zumba class once a week and I am suppose to work out at home at least three more times a week and I am good to work out twice a week at home. I have lost 22 pounds since joining in January, now I…
