oh sorry i meant month's.....it is still the same loss though at 2 pounds a week for 16 weeks... 32 pounds lost with logging cals and moderate exercise, actually it's 2 pounds more :)

what is calorie shifting?? never heard of it.

that figures! it is better to not eat out anyway (was real hard for me at first) you never know what you are getting and who's cooking it (how clean are they???) where they get the products from, or how it is prepared....butter, oil......gross gross gross!

i see you said your aunt and mom took it and lost 30 pounds in 4 weeks (or something close to that) .....well if you eat right, log your calories, and exercise, you can expect to lose about 2 pounds a week (the right way) and that would be 32 pounds lost in the same amount of time....do it the healthy way and you will…

thats only 2 1/2 pounds a week, seems totally do-able, just eat well and exercise and i'm sure you will lose that!

i remember that feeling.....but you can do this, i promise! it will get better real soon. are you exercising because that gives you more calories you can eat. but right now, eat some veggies or a few nuts or an apple, things that are good for you and will fill you up till dinner. by next week you wont be feeling hungary…

think about what you need to do....do this while walking! and then take back your control and do it, don't feel bad for days past anymore! by the end of the day i'll bet your motivation will be back, because you will have done some good! good luck and keep logging your food and posting :)

i have heard that you don't start burning stored fat UNTIL you exercise for 15-20 minutes, up to that point you are burning carb. that's from dr. oz you on a diet book, great book btw! good luck and try to get this book from the library or bok store!

I try to walk as much as possible...........but it's not east for sure! keep tryin though and it will pass!

just keep working and the results will soon follow. aslo drink LOTS of water, and exercise! good luck and keep up the hard work, one day soon you will wake up and be amazed!

don't go empty handed, bring a salad or a veggie tray, and that way you can make sure your healthy lifestyle is taken care of. if someone asks tell them what you are comfortable telling them, they will understand and hopefully respect that!

fantastic! congratulations and continued success!

fresh fish!

i sent you a friend request....welcome aboard!

sea salt, pepper and if you like ( I do ) garlic salt sprinkeled on top. you can bake it in a pyrex or roaster pan, or you can put it in a cooking bag ( very juicy ) that way. very good stuff!

I do not think you are crazy at all, I think it's AWESOME! keep up the good work, and be PROUD!

just making that change alone, you will be off to a GREAT start! 3500 calories is a pound, so you will almost be there with just giving up the 3thousand plus calories you just mentioned, that's awesome! good luck and have a good week!

i agree, you are adding muscle, you may want to more reps at a lesser weight so you will tone and not just bulk up! you are doing a good job just keep plugging at it!

hey, you have a friend in me! and i know how it is, not having support. i am a widow with an 8 yr old daughter and she eats pretty healthy, but still have to cook seperate meals for us both....it's is not always easy cooking her some sort of potatoes EVERY day, and bread, as i have given them up, but i just tell myself i…

you tube has tons, also you can go to the library, surprisingly they have a really good selection. do you have cable or uverse cause you can watch them there also.

it took me weeks to get up to 8 a day. try to drink 2 before breakfast, 2 before lunch, 2 before dinner and 2 a couple hours before bed. now that i am use to drinking it i crave it, it is all i drink. just keep practicing and you will get there.

vickie, you are an angel...thank you sooo much for all your help!

Target is a great place to get scales, really reasonable too.

yea, i wouldn't want to go any less, i'm not trying to lose all my weight by next week....i just want to be healthy, healthy, healthy!

I am with you, this is a life style change and I want to be healthy above anything else. Glad to know I am not the only one who eats "under". Keep up the good work!

soooo excited to have new buddies,lets get this going!

just started this site today but have been walking for 4 weeks-20 min. 6-7 days a week. i also gave up sugar (including high fructos corn syrup) and flour (bread, tortillias etc.) potatoes, and packaged foods....oh and red meat. I have lost 19 lbs. i know i need to journal my food and exercise more ( now that i am not as…
