I agree with logicofsound, it doesn't sound like you are eating enough. It is counter-intuitive I know, but I'd say (depending on your weight/height) you should net at least 1000 if not 1200 calories. The heavier one is, that number may even be higher...I've learned this the very hard way myself, and even if the weight…

squats are great, lunges really helped me (a LOT), I'd also recommend scissors (lay on your back and scissor legs) to help inner/outer. I really think lunges and lots of them are the best. I often alternate them with other exercises... biceps lunges squats triceps lunges squats shoulders lunges. squats...you get it~ I have…

There was a period (yrs. ago) where it got too bulky too...so I really can relate. Im not totally sure what I was doing wrong then .... as at the time I was doing (I think) what I was supposed to......it sucked. It was a time in my life where I at a lot more processed and artificial type foods....(lean cuisines and all the…

Hey there, can really relate to your post on both the plateau and the bit about strength training. The only part I have recently been successful with is breaking the myth about getting bigger with strength training. (I am on a month long plateau but have not been eating perfect/clean and am about 5# away from goal so it's…

Thanks mrandolph69, and congrats on your success so far;)

From one emotional eater to another....... Learn to recognize the emotions popping up BEFORE you decide to eat over them (this is much easiser to type than to do;) and learn a new way to process them out without hand to mouth motion.....I once was a very compulsive eater, often finding myself standing in front of the…

I get that effect too....keep going, it'll fall off!

check out "miracle noodles".....they are filling and have zero calories. They are also a great carb substitute for anyone cutting down on carbs (I only lose if I go very low/no carbs).....They taste good enough. I won't be having mad cravings for them anytime soon but you can season them with whatever you like and they're…

no....cardio/aerobic just mean your heart rate is in the right zone...(varies by age).

Hi there, I don't know all the details here but something doesn't sound right......From what I know, which admittedly for every one thing I know,theres ten that I don't....the only way you'd gain weight at 1650 calories is if your current weight is about 120 lbs... I weight 163 right now my basil resting metabolic (BRM)…

and it WILL happen but it sounds like you've come a long way already so I hope you give yourself credit for that!!!

well, my husband hates veggies but when I serve them with tomato sauce (1/4 cup) and a bit of parm. cheese (1TBS or less), he likes them...it doesn't add too many calories but if sodium is a concern look for lower sodium tomato sauce. It works well with brocolli, zuchinni, mushrooms, eggplant, peppers, and probably…

sounds GREAT!!!! Thanks for the idea!

I hope you don't mind but I'd like to offer my thoughts and reactions to this. I like your idea about counseling because it seems like there is something going one besides some mad desire/enjoyment for food. I personally used food like a drug, similar to the way an alcoholic uses alcohol, for many years and it not because…

Hi there! Clearly not all 5'8's are created equal. Im a curvy one at 43 y/o and 5'7.5" inches tall. Current weight is 163 which equates to a size 10 pant that is a little loose My goal is anything in the 150's (even 159.99999) but ideally 155 and I would do back-flips for a consistant size 8. My BMI is 25.5 which is only…

For weight loss: Diet Ocean Spray Juices, (there is a variety of flavors and they have only 5 cal each) plus Designer Whey Protein. This alone is ok enough as a snack on the go. Sometimes Ill throw it in the blender with any one or all of the following, but always keeping it under 300 cal. (ice, fat free yogurt, fruit,…

32# is GREAT!!!!!! be proud! way to go!
