This is accurate. Only what you do extra above and beyond normal daily routine. God Bless, brenda

I know I wish I had that problem or even a slight problem. Mine completely went away to nothing. Sad .

I am with you on this. My thoughts and feelings about this issue is exactly as yours. I do weigh every morning but like you officially it counts on Sunday morning. To each his or her own. Do what works best for you but yes remember scales only a tool not to obess over. God Bless, Brenda

You really need to address any issues that cause you emotional stress or make you want to binge. Dealing with these things will help you overcome them and stay on track. Fix what you can and let the rest go.

any foods with less than 4 calories they do not have to put it on the label. Be careful with such things as that.

Hey, Just make sure you do not go under 1200 calories per day. You need those to maintain the body. God Bless, brenda

Hey, This is the show that inspired me to lose the weight. I thought it would be just another diet program but I was wrong and the more I watched it the more I understood the lifestyle change and so I decided to see if it would work for me at home and this is the results from that show and program. I record them so that I…

I agree. Please be careful that happened to me in the beginning. God Bless, Brenda

Hey, Reminder that muscle also weighs. When building muscle it does weigh on scales like fat does but in your case it does sound like starvation mode. Increase food intake by a small margin and see if it helps. Hang in there it will get better. God Bless, Brenda

Hey, The closer you get the harder it gets to reach that last few. Good news is you can do it. Okay, a suggestion or two; make sure you are eating enough fiber and drinking plenty of water these will help you feel full longer. Protein can be done in a supplement form if you need too. Exercise is a must do. Workout when you…

Hey, Yes, I am well aware of the issues with overuse. I have worn out my rotocups in my shoulders; extreme pain at times. I also have bad knees and my lower back has serious issues. I have a plate and screws in my neck as well. Okay, I have worked in a sheet metal fab shop for 30 years and between pulling steel and…

Hey, Welcome to the site. It is a great place to be for support and motivation. God Bless, brenda

I use an old eye glass case that has a clip on it and attache it to my pants or shorts which ever I am wearing. I also have another one that holds my mp3 player. Works very well for me. God Bless, brenda

Hey, Eating too much protein in excess amounts can harm due to building up in the body. On the flip side not enough can also harm you. You need proteins and going over a little is okay but try not to go under too much either too often. stay really close as possible if you can. I struggle with proteins making sure I get…

Just that easy calories in and calories out is how it truly works. God Bless, Brenda

Hey, You are not wasting your time or energy. Exercising any time no matter what the exercise is is never a waste of time. It truly is calories in and calories out. Continue doing what works for you and things will shape up for you and you will be healthier for it. God Bless, Brenda

use extreme caution when dealing with the knee. Sounds like joint may be wearing down so be careful. Modify anything that you need too. God Bless, brenda

Yes, As you drop the weight it will also drop because you do not have as much to lose. Exercising will burn calories and you do not have to eat those calories right now unless you are in maintence and then you have to eat the burned calories to hold the weight steady. God Bless, brenda

Hey, I have the same problem and I also take medication. I workout 7 days a week and monitor everything I put in my body. I will tell you that iceberg lettuce does slow the thyroid down and also if you are taking a multi vitamin take it 2 hours after the thyroid meds. because it effects the thyroid meds. according to my…

you need to eat the 1200 calories that is needed to substain life anything above that you don't have to eat and therefore will lose the weight by forming the deficit needed in weight loss. God Bless, brenda

If you are trying to lose weight then no you do not eat the calories you burn there is where the weight loss comes from you only need to eat the 1200 to substain life. Any calories you burn you do not have to eat. God Bless, brenda

Hey, 1200 calories a day is what the body needs to subsatin life in a 24 hour period. You have to add in the calories that you burn during exercise and those are the ones that you do not eat and get the weight loss deficit. Example: if you burn 500 calories during exercise then you will add the 500 to the 1200 needed for…

water will help and you can add lemon slice and sweetner or bring packs of crystal light and add to the water. God Bless, Brenda

Hey, Water and fiber will help you to feel full longer. You may want to double check your proteins to see if you are lacking because that also can cause sweet cravings mainly chocolate. Fruits are a great snack and low in calories. There are also healthy 100 calorie snacks out that you may want to look into. Make a note…

Hey, Yes, you do need to save 100 calories for the end of day for that purpose. Now, when it happened to me it was a lack of protein so you may want to check and see if you are getting what you should. I did fruit,sugarfree jello pudding, and yogurts lowfat. God Bless, brenda

Hey, Listen to everyone's advice. They are correct only once a week weigh in and make sure it is same clothing,time,day and watch sodium intake. Now, if you are not going to the bathroom regularly then you need to get something strong enough to help you in case you are getting packed in then there. Miralax works great and…

Hey, I also stayed quiet about my lifestyle change and no one ever knew anything until I had lost 95 pounds and changed my clothes from really big ones to those that fit better. I did not want to deal with the comments and the looks and also if I messed up someone ragging me. They still run their mouths now but I have…

Use ebay if you choose a bodybugg it is cheaper there and most come with the membership. Mine did and I paid a fraction of the cost.

You are correct on the water it does help more than people realize. God Bless, brenda
