I have always beleived that if you have to hide it or lie about it, than it should be happening!!! If you are in a relationship and if the person you were with was flirting would it bother you and if they hid it from you or lied to you how would you feel. We are all grown adults and know right from wrong and what is or is…

Today everything..... I really should go back to bed lol Mine is knowing how inconstitant I am with my weight loss attempts but not being able to break the cycle I get into. Do good for a couple weeks get discourage and not track accuratly for a couple more weeks gaining anything I lost.

I live in Salt Lake City and completely understand what you are saying when you say hills. I partly blame the hills (and bad shoes) for my plantar faciitis. A women at my work who I walk with got special running pants from the running store that are tight so they hold the muscles closure to the bone and she said it makes a…

I really think it is the whole busy thing. I work for the University of Utah's School of Medicine and I know that the PhD programs are INTENS!! Some times the students are so busy they even forget to eat (I now keep snacks on my desk). I am also a student and it is extremely hard to find time to do anything other than…

Jagermeister with redbull. Yea thats right I mix my downer with an upper lol:drinker: I also like AMF's , gin and sprite and whiskey and coke. I try to stay away from Vodka been in more fight with vodka than Id like to admit :ohwell:

I did the same thing lost 50 pds in 2008 kept it off but gained it all back and am having to work extra hard to lose it. May I suggest if you are feeling hungry increasing your calories. I was stuck in the mind frame that I had to eat 1200 calories to lose weight and its not true that is not a magical number and it is not…

h-5'4" W-192 PS- 16 Goal 1 155 pant size 12 goal 2 135 not feeling like I have to constanly adjust to make sure my roles have not eaten clothing or im hanging/ bulging out my clothes :)

Several of my goals I have never felt comfortable in any of the clothes I have put on so that one is for me. I turn 30 in two year and want to have dirty thirty pictures taken. I want to be the women a man wants holding his hand while he is thinking damn my lady is hot!!

Breakfast every morning is Wheat toast with strawberry preserve and my cup of joe with vanilla creamer in it.

Dont give up and give it a little more time. It took two weeks before I saw it working. The third week I droped 5 pds.

Increasing my calores has changed my life!! I had a resting metabolic rate test done that said I burn aproximatly 1900 just living. I was eating 1200 calories and uped it to 1500. It took a couple weeks for my body to catch on to the change I made but after it did I have continued to lose. I dont feel as hungry as I did, I…

My addiction would also be sex. I am the only girl I know who gets irritated when the guy I am dating just wants to cuttle or hang out without getting down to business! My friends all say they feel so used if the guy always wants it. To me if he doesnt there has got to me something wrong lol

It is so hard to stay motivated!! I completely understand I am also a student (also a single mom) and it is hard to want to care when you stressed. I have to say this is the best time for you to care no matter how hard it is. I am preparing to take the nursing entrance exam and all of the study guides I read push for…

I am exciting in thinking that the weight I gained in the last week is water weight. My binging on the weekends are bad but not bad enough that I would gain 5 pds. Girls you know what I am talking about I think I am having a visitor this week.

This is why I went and had a Resting Metabolic Rate test done. It was specific to me. It helped alot and I actualy found out that by eating the suggested 1200 a day I was not eating enough and causing issues to my metabolism and it caused me to platau and nothing I did fixed it. Since than I have increased my cals and I am…

I love that you research the calorie intake. Alot of people are eating way to little (1200) and are damaging their metabolism. I recently had a resting metabolic rate test done and it said that I should also be eating 1900 to lose. Well I have heard for so long to eat 1200 I had a really hard time believing it!! The Dr.s I…

Sounds like you are holding on to water for muscle repair. I would suggest staying away from the scale if its going to affect you negatively!! I think your body will adjust and it wont be so bad in the future if you stay consistant. Make sure your drinking alot of water :)

We just had a Dr. who researches obesity in America come into my work and do a presentation and she told us that we should be trying to drink at least half our wieght in oz of water every day. She told us that for those who are at the "normal weight" (120-150) the 8 glasses is about there. For those of us who are heavier…

Thank you all for you post!!!!!!! I am sorry you all have this or had it but am thankful that you shared your experience with me. I am definatly not stretching enough.

I just want to point out that you will be dropping below 1200 calories. 1200 calories is already a low number and going any lower puts you at a very high risk for starvation mode!! I would suggest not subtracting any calories during the week for one night! This is suppose to be a lifestyle changes so that you do not gain…

I thought I would post an update. I work for the University of Utah's School of Medicine and spoke to a Dr. in my office who specializes in obesity. She stated that it sounds normaly for how tall I am. She suggested that I take in 1500 calories per day and not eat back my excersize calories. The most important suggestion…

Saggy skin is a concern of mine aspecialy when it comes to my chest region. I do have an even bigger fear..... I fear that I will lose the weight and feel good but that I will self sabotage and gain it back AGAIN with more. Its been my life story and sometimes I question if its been the underlying reason for my weight not…

I think what your doing sounds good. I would think you would loose at least six but maybe even ten.

I feel sexy when my long brown natural hair is down and parted to the side.

Please keep trying!! I know it is hard I have been trying to get back on track for the last year!!! We have good days and bad, you just need to remember it is ok to have them!! One thing that is helping me right now is not giving up when I have a bad day. For example today I went to breakfast with co workers and found that…

I think a part of my mistake was letting someone else look up the calories for me!! Also this silly resturant does not have its nutrition posted :frown: I think its a plow if people knew what they were going to consume or what their options were befor they showed up they would end up not eating there. I know this place…

Sweet water melon it is!!!

Oh I had a job like this not too long ago. I searched and searched than applied and applied. 1 1/2 yr later I got a new job. I cannot explain the change it made in my life. I work with positive people who appreciate me, I havent felt appreciated in such a long time. As for graveyard shift they are so hard and hard on you.…

I am with you. I struggle with this daily!! If there is food out I tend to pick at it or eat it. I have had to ask my family to help. After meals if were done its put away ASAP. I have asked my coworkers to do the same, they now put it in the break room. Now its up to me to stop myself. Its very hard and sometimes I dont…
