BMR is your metabolic rate you use to merely survive. The numbers don't reflect any type of movement, exercise, daily activity, etc.

I only did the 1lb recommend with my 30 min 5x's a week workouts.

Yes.

Bump

Love this! I wish I was this brave!

Thanks you guys! I will keep at it and work on my attitude.

Oh, I will finish Insanity.... I mean, I am a month into it. With work, not sleeping well, and just bleck.... I am lacking some major energy. I have tried Nutrisystem, it was not my fav. JC has appeal, but funding is tough since I am the only pay check coming in. I am trying to find that groove again....it's been in…

allrecipes.com has a few versions

Sorry, spaced this entirely. I haven't had a second to figure the calories....I will try to remember to do that ASAP. I have made the pumpkin w/cake mix and the soda w/cake mix before and it's good..... but my daughter doesn't love the pumpkin after taste. I got about.... 15 cookies out of my batch. They were good sized…

I can't think of myself on a diet either or I sabotage it everytime! I can't even have people bug me about it or I just snap.

Dang double post.

Thanks, that is good advice. I think I am approaching it as TOO HUGE.... too many changes at one time. I need baby steps.

That's it! I need a "come to Jesus" meeting ASAP with myself about my weight issues!

Alta: That is a good suggestion. I used to have a motivational CD I played at night while I slept. I felt better and more energized. Svey: When I workout with others I feel like it's a "competition" even when it's not. I am weird like that.

He's jacked them up once and wants me to stay on them for 6 months (which seems like forever). I've tried the anti-depressant road once before will little result (not sure why).... I just can't seem to ACT on any motivation.... is that better? I mean I KNOW I would look nicer, feel better, sleep better, etc.... For some…

THAT'S IT!!! Thank you so much!

I could never handle WW... For some backwards reason it felt WAY too much like a competition and I never do well with that, I always swing the other way.

If you don't care about you....who will?

AMAZING! You've lost all your pregnancy weight already!!!! That is awesome!

Totally agree with Alisaperry74 on this....and many of the others... Been divorced...like manty channeled that anger/hurt into workouts. Been in BAD relationships....used that to channel control into eating habits (a little TOO much). IN a stressful marriage (dur to Iraq, personality changes, and goal adjustments).... and…

HELLO!!!! I am turning 30 this year too and have been reflecting on how I have "hidden" behind being overweight forever! I mean, I have achieved a lot in life....despite many peoples attitude that heavy people aren't motivated at anything.... My one "failure" is weight loss, not sure why but I have decided that I am…

I gave up fast food. It's been nice.

YAY! I am glad you are here.

I agree with what a lot of the others have said. I met my husband online (no laughing) and I kept putting it off to get to know him better....BUT it was mainly to get "trimmed up." Well 2 years later and about 30lbs HEAVIER (and I was on MFP and HEAVY to begin with), he still loves me for me. Do what you feel best about,…

Pilates and a really closely monitored diet helped me lose mine. Unfortunately, not working out and poor diet have brought it back. :(

I need to post that on my bread drawer!!!!

Thanks you guys. It took me so long to get back to the site, that I am so nervous of messing up. I haven't eaten quiet 3500 calories....but DANG... I looked up the DQ menu AFTER.....whew.....

I am 29.... newly married.... still feeling like a single mom of a 7 yearold sass monster.

I totally understand you! My FEAR... success. For years I have let the fear of succeeding at weight loss hold me back. I HATE being the center of attention, I HATE everyone making a big deal out of me "looking good." Backwards....maybe... but it's this little ingrained thing in me. I am having to take baby steps and not…

Still looking to add to the support system. I am not a "group/competition" kinda girl, but it's nice to have some friends who understand and support what you are doing. If anyone is interested drop me a note!
