If you're pregnant right now go and seek help from a professional. You don't need this addiction right now, and the dangers of pregnancy-induced diabetes aren't what your body and hour baby need either. That said, eliminate all sorts of junk and sugary food from your home right. If you're craving something sweet make…

I remember covering every mirror in my house just to not to have to look at myself reflected. I still try to keep myself from them but I don't hate what I see anymore. I remember having to photoshop every single picture that was taken with me in it, just to make the fatty rolls a tiny bit more concealed and less…

I wouldn't do it either, i'd only do it if it's my last chance to save me from myself. Do you really think you're not capable of achieving your goals? You can change your lifestyle for life by taking tiny steps every day, you just need tohave supportive people around you and have good guidance (a good nutritionist,…

My doctor told me to at least walk for half an hour everyday,given the fact that i live a sedentary life. I do high intensity cardio 5 days a week for 45-50 minutes (bodycombat classes, aerodance which is not too demanding actually, and sometimes spinning. I was told here that it's too much cardio and the posters who said…

I'm on your same path! When I reach my goal weight I'll still have a considerable amount of fat in my traditional problem areas (hips, lower belly, back, tighs,bum). I guess we'll have to stick to eating well, and the weight training will take care of the extra fat. Maybe even if we eat fatty foods our metabolism will be…

I'm with the person who suggested to lower the intensity of the cardio workouts. That usually works for me! I should follow the same advice but I'm in love with my body combat routines and I have a blast in class. :)

I love the having to go shopping part, but I really can't afford it right now. I'm buying clothes closer to my goal weight right now because I'm so close to my last goal... But I've got the feeling that even in maintenance mode I'll be losing inches so I'm terrifief that in a year or so the clothes I buy today will be too…

After losing 90 pounds (40 kilos) and almost at my goal weight I have mixed feelings. I feel lighter than a feather and so well physically, but I'm struggling to get my mind to realise that I don't take that much space anymore XD. I used to be BMI 40 and I'm two pounds away to be on a normal BMI (i know BMI shouldn't…

In my case, they went from a D to a B... I'm happy with the new size but they're like falling downwards ... Grrrr :mad: i'm still happy with my weightloss ;)

Have in mind that if you go over your calories eating healthy lean foods one day you won't necessarily gain weight, but if you do indulge in fatty foods you might notice a change on the scale the following day. that doesn't necessarily mean you have gained fat. It usually goes away after a day or two. It happens to me when…

To be like a barbie doll you sometimes need other things that don't involve a gym. You need to assess how much work is needed to reach your true goal. Will you need something extra like a cosmetic surgery? are you really willing to go that far? Is that what you reeally need? Are your goals realistic? You might also want to…

;D

Maybe the personal trainer DID tell her to change her eating habits but she's too stubborn to admit she's doing things the wrong way. And maybe she's making it look like it was the trainer who told her that exercising was enough. As another poster said, I'd wait until she says she's not happy with her progress. She's…

I've been studying English for about 15 years total and on my last trip to the US I found out that people still don't understand when I say that I need a 'cab'. No matter how hard I try, they hear 'cub' or 'keb' or something XD i still can't get the pronunciation right!

Wow that's a lot of courage and determination!!! Congratulations!!!

I usually go to TGI Friday's and get a burger there. I eat the whole plate and sometimes i get an ice cream there. On other ocassions I go to a chinese all-you-can-eat for lunch and get sushi as an entree and chow mein as a main course. Then i eat a portion or two of whatever dessert they have there. When i go to the…

I plan to do some housework, to make a couple of new pants shorter, and to finish the spring cleaning. On sunday i have to cook some meals for the rest of the week, and my husband and me will probably be hitting the chinese restaurant for dinner (it's an all you can eat, god help us both XD) Apart from that i plan to lie…

I am eating low carb as well. I eat two slices of wholegrain bread per day when i don't have oatmeal for breakfast( i sometimes cheat and eat more than that :blushing: ) If i eat other high GI carbs as white pasta, rice and stuff ... i am only allowed to have them three times per week. But if i have them all in their low…

Actually it was my family doctor. She told me to do one hour cardio per day (she's probably thinking that I'm only walking, though i told her repeatedly that I'm doing body combat), and i mentioned weight training because i read everywhere that you have to do weights or you'll turn into a walking skeleton or a skinny…

Thank you both! I feel less freaky now! I do work out two hours per day because that's what i was told. I usually do body combat and body pump on mondays and wednesday, and aerodance (or spinning, depends) and pilates on tuesdays and thursdays, and aerodance and body balance on fridays. Some fridays i just do weight…

I was feeling like a feather at aerodance class today! I also won the stare contest between a packet of 3 sweet sugary biscuits and me and they were left untouched. I found out that i have to make my black pants shorter, they're starting to look baggy and i'm stepping on them occasionally.

Wow you still have to lose 19 pounds?! You look awesome already!!! Congratulations for the success!!! I know it's hard at first but when you start enjoying the battle it's so rewarding in so many ways :) Do people still recognise you? ;D because I'm having trouble with that. I was even told i have to update my ID and…

What the others said, and congratulations for fighting so hard! My medication is on par with my levels (or so it seems) i feel quite normal but i do have some symptoms and losing weight is a huge everyday battle! Fortunately i learned to love eating healthy and exercising! I am enjoying the journey and the slow results,…

It is posible, but you might lose muscle mass so make sure you're eating enough protein in your diet. You can go for a walk for aerobic exercise, an hour per day would be ideal imho. For exercising your muscle mass (i don't want to say weight training in this particular case) you can do pilates. Both activities won't make…

Argh, i thought that only happened in the women dressing room ;(

A lady (elderly, i have to point out) came upt o me when i was biking slowly and told me my cardio wasn't good enough as i wasn't burning any calories by going at such a slow speed. I was like 'wha?!?' And she said she knew a lot about fitness because she was very curious and she liked chatting to the fitness area…

Mine only went away completely when I was 10 pounds away from my goal, and I still have my belly pouch. It's smaller, but it's still there. So keep toning and losing fat and hopefully you will lose both sooner than you think.

What he said.

Thank you for sharng your story!!! I am hypothyroid as well though I don't know the exact cause yet. I didn't know broccoli and spinach were bad for the disease so thank you because I learned something from your experience! The important thing is how you feel, not how much you weigh. Whatever you do make sure you're…

The free tummy tuck thing works for as long as your weightloss wasn't too dramatic and for as long as there is not a huge amount of excess skin. To truly know if it works check out how your tummy looks while suckin in and bending over. I something hangs towards the floor... Then it didn't work. That's what happens to me.…
