Another vote for Goodwill or whatever thrift store you have. I spend about $6 a pair, which is helpful when you're switching out of sizes every few months. Also, if you dig a little bit, you can find REALLY good brands. I got my daughter a pair of Apple Bottoms for $7. You really just can't beat it.

That was very interesting...and psychologically makes a great deal of sense. Thanks for the link.

The good news is that one day is not going to make or break your weight loss goals. :) Try not to beat yourself up over it. Just go back to doing what you were doing. YOU CAN DO IT! :)

That, sir, is the most encouraging thing I've read in a long while. I've tried South Beach (I call it the South B#$ch diet, because that's what I turn into when I cut out all carbs), the low-fat raw vegan diet called 80-10-10, and many others. I've come back to common sense and calorie counting...mostly because this is the…

I'm going to try out every two weeks, I think..but I understand why some weigh every day. My calories aren't a problem. I eat between 1200-1500 depending on whether I've worked out that day...though I tend to eat more at dinner and less throughout the day, so I might try spacing them out better to see if that helps. I…

I'm a writer and I also work from home. I am a tennis journalist, so my schedule revolves around which part of the world the tennis tour is in. Right now, it's Europe, so I work in the morning and go to the gym in the afternoon. But I also keep active because I can clean the house while the matches are on tv. :)

Haven't you been reading this thread?! A COOKIE IS FULL OF CARBS!!!!

Well, the carbs in oranges come with nutrients and vitamins as well as being fresh and natural. So yeah. I'd say so

1. Add more leafy green vegetables to my diet 2. lose 5 pounds 3. try to like lifting weights a little more. It's effective, but oh how I hate it. :)

You know, it's interesting. The French eat carbs and they as a whole are not fat. In fact, they eat BAGUETTES daily and don't get fat. That's WHITE BREAD. GASP! It might be more accurate to say that the American habit of eating pre-packaged processed foods, french fries and burgers and not enough produce has made us fat.…

Since I don't know you, I cannot speak for why you feel that way....but I know why I felt that way. Part of it was that I felt a little like a fraud. I still felt like someone who was overweight because I had been my whole life. But mostly for me the problem was that the attention felt so..disingenuous. I was uncomfortable…

Wow! Thank you for that offer! That link says my BMR is 1787 calories. I am a writer and work at home, but I've been going to the gym 4 days a week and doing weight training.

Interesting that my doctor would recommend it then....because everyone is always saying "Ask your doctor". :( Weight loss is so stinking complicated. I hate it when I hear people say "eat less. Exercise more. That's all it takes." I'm DOING that already, but I've weighed the same thing for 2 weeks...and it's not like I'm…
