  • It is a constant battle to overcome emotional eating. When I am mad , sad or bored I used to really chow. Now I pop on the Wii and use Gold's Cardio workout and exercise away the anger when i am mad. Boredom ...I find something to clean or some household project that needs to get done...sure chases boredom. I burn calories…
  • Use portabella mushrooms instead of a bread crust and you save a ton of calories and it tastes awesome!!
  • Want a very hearty breakfast to fill you up and get you moving? Take a Portabella mushroom and pop it in the oven at 425. Cook up a 1/4 cup egg beaters/some spinach, 2 slices of Oscar Meyer ready to eat bacon. Once the mushroom is running juicy and it bends take it out. Add one piece of Kraft 2% cheese (you could go…
  • I have been steadily losing weight but my forearm measurement has INCREASED. That is from a lot of swimming. I was a tad uncomfortable with it at first but as I thought about it I realized that I walked around for years with tons of loose weight on me...why on earth should I be afraid of muscle???
  • My weigh in day is Thursday. It is quite random, I had not stepped on a scale in ten years and then i finally ordered one. Thursday happens to be the day of the week my scale was delivered! ;-)
  • I just bought Bio Oil and am starting it today. My friend swears by the stuff and her stretch marks were pretty bad and they are not noticeable now. I guess I don't care if they are really gone or not..just how bad they look. It is worth a shot! I certainly have wasted my money on worse things!
  • I am guessing you are scared to eat TOO much and settled on the old 1200 calorie thing. I have been trying to lose weight on and off for 15 years...I once went down to 800 calories a day and I still cannot comprehend how I did not get results. I was miserable, I felt lousy and finally I binged. This has been a regular…
  • The light Pot Roast is super filling and acts as a wonderful comfort food when you are in need of such!!
  • I do this regularly. I undereat on Saturday (by about 400) and borrow those calories on Sunday. Football is a major event here on Sundays and the food is part fo it all.
  • Wow...I got chills just reading about your progress. I just reached my 50 lb goal and still have another 100 to go. I have progressed from a short walk that would leave me feeling like i was going to die to now walking 2.5 miles in 45 minutes . To think that at some point I could run...seems unbelievable but reading your…
  • It was a painful experience that finally spurred me into action. My 95 year old aunt died in July. Instead of merely grieving I was also scared to go to the funeral. There were relatives that I had not seen since I was a teenager (I am 45 now) and I was 150 lbs thinner back then. There are two family members in particular…
  • I don't really average weekly, but I do eat light on Saturday and add the leftover calories to Sunday. I have been doing this since I started back in July and I have been losing steadily.
  • Wow! I decided to change over from Fitday.com to this site and I cannot believe the differences. In the three months I have been on Fitday...it seems like there is never anyone around on the boards, I always felt kind of silly posting. I popped my reflection on here and kind of winced wondering what you all would think. I…
  • I usually eat about half of them - it achieves a balance in mind where I feel like I am rewarded for exercise...and I feel like I still burned extra...
