  • I am 5'5" and currently at 155 pounds. All I know is that in the triathlons I am in, I am almost always one of the biggest girls there and my fat is hanging over in my bike pics. Not cool.. At one time I was skinny at 115 pounds, but not as fit as I am today.. I want a middle ground, strong and muscular and fit, not too…

  • I am on Day 4 of the Challenge and I am down 3 pounds today. Best part of it though is how much better I feel. I suffer from Depression and have been really bad lately. Today I woke up thinking what a great day it was going to be and even ran/walked 2.5 miles before I went to work (and I NEVER get up early). This is the…

  • I tried it last year and didn't lose anything. Very disappointing. The Bee Pollen pills, I am having good luck with. That is so strange they make you tired! I can only take 1/2 of the recommended dose because they gave me too much energy and made me jumpy/shaky!

  • Thanks everyone for your comments. I really got some smiles out of them today. Yes, it was mindless eating while I was watching tv. I don't even remembering tasting much of it. In fact I was very surprised when I reached into the bag again and it was all GONE! Not feeling any effects of it today, thank goodness. I was…
    in Why did I just eat the whole bag??? Comment by mollianna February 2011
  • I go by what the Wii Fit says. It says 2 pounds for light clothing and 4 pounds for heavy clothing. But I don't think that included shoes, a coat, and a purse. So take those off! Also.. I can count on a 2 pound fluctuation throughout the day based on food/drinks and fluid retention. So it is best to weigh yourself first…

  • I hate to say it, but it is GOOD TEETH at first. Since I usually end up with *kitten*, I guess I put too much emphasis on looks. I am hoping to put more emphasis next time on someone who is charitable and smart (and still has a nice smile!)

  • I was having the same problem at first and I was extremely frustrated because I was staying under 1200 calories and losing nothing!! . Now I drink much more water and I stagger my calories. So I might have 1100 or 1200 and then a big calorie day of 1800 and then continue the cycle. I also added more protein to my diet and…

  • Hi Tonya. I see you have lost 7 pounds! Congratulations! This is going to sound funny but when I first looked at your picture I swear it looked like a pic of me from several years ago! :) 3 jobs, a husband, and 3 kids? When do you even have time to eat??
    in "Weight TO GO!" Comment by mollianna February 2011
  • I'm sorry you are so frustrated. I was like that too a few months ago. I started this website I think 4 months ago and I was not seeing much progress and I slacked off I gained back the 6 pounds I had lost so I decided to try again. This time I lost 14 pounds in a month! I didn't worry so much about hitting my target…

  • I know how good that feels!!! I was just saying the same thing - "I can't believe the scale is FINALLY going down!" I was stuck at the same number forever.. Just keep going, no matter what!! After a while, I hope you find you don't even want that much food anymore. Keep up the good work!! You should be very proud of…
    in The number on the scale actually went down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comment by mollianna January 2011
  • Thanks for posting this. For a long while I was eating anywhere from 800 to 1100 calories and not losing any weight. I thought maybe I wasn't measuring quantity correctly or I just wasn't moving around enough and that's all my body was burning. In the last couple weeks I upped my calories to 1200-1400 and find the scale is…
    in What is your BMR and how many calories are you eating to los Comment by mollianna January 2011
  • The Wii Fit accounts for 2-3 pounds for clothes, doesn't it? That's why I thought it was lower than my scale. I might be wrong but that is what I have been telling myself. I'm not as concerned about the actual number it says, as I am the fact that the number must go DOWN from there!!
    in Wii Fit vs Bathroom Scale Comment by mollianna January 2011
  • Thank You for posting this. You are not alone. I felt like I was reading my exact story. I have clothes anywhere from a size 5 to a size 14, all for this reason. Food makes me feel good. It fills me up with whatever it is that I am missing, maybe joy - I don't know. When I am happy and all is well in my world, I forget to…
