I wouldn't worry about fruit sugar if you aren't overdoing it. And if you are sacrificing everywhere else, so what. Are you getting to your weight goal? Thats the important thing!! Basil

You should be eating less than 1500 calories, however it depends on the kind of calories. Empty calories like sugar, white bread, french fries are all a no. If your scedule allows it you have to pick up your activity, walking ,etc. A mixture of carbs and protein is important. You need the protein to burn the fat.. Just…

Hi Kittlecakes, Being pregnate, you have to ask your doctor what you can do or not do. You can start now however in not eating chips, french fries or other empty calories that just add to your weight. A walking routine is also good if te doctor allows it. The man thing is to start feeling good about yourself. You DO have…

I know sometime it seems like forever, but at 21 your have a long way to go. It is best for you to go it alone, in my estimation, because you and him go at different speeds anyway. If you are serious about losing weight, you have to cut down on the amount of calories you eat and increase you exercise. Running at a moderate…

I read in a couple of different diets, that is is best to weigh in no more than once a week. They said there is too much water varience and you could get discouraged if you do it daily. I weigh in every Monday morning after my run and I wear the same things each week!

I started to read your essay but got lost. If you want to lose weight you have to eat less and be more active. Empty calories are the liller, sugar, white bread, etc. If you are serious about losing, you have to keep track of your calories carefully and count everything. Most desserts are lillers. Frence fries, fast foods…

HI, Your clothes should be fitting better. It takes time usually to lose that much weight, so don't get disappointed, just keep up on the program you are on, it seems as if it is working!! Good luck! Basil

First of all, we all want to be what we aren't. You have to reaize that it will take time. And to shorten the time you have to serious about wanting to lose. You have to incease your activitiy along with cutting down your calorie intake. Emtpy calories are what kills us. Frnce fries are a complete OUT. McCdonalds and all…

I think a tall girl in high heels is stunning!! However if her man is shorter than her she go with somthing shorter!!

40 lbs in 90 days is a stretch. I don't want to be negative, but you want to lose with the idea of keeping it off. You have to start a life change you can live with. From experience, I know if you go on a rash diet that you cant keep on, you will just gain it all back with a little more after you go off the crash diet.…

Cass. I'm 76 yrs old. I have always been in good shape. I've been jogging for sometime. I weighed 235 lbs about 4 months ago. I just decided I have too much pride to have a big belly. I also realized that I was not a big eater, but I ate a lot of things I should eat at ll. Sugars, sweets, etc. So about 2 1/2 months ago I…

The only way you gain weight is to consume more calories than you are burning. When you start losing weight, fat is the first to go. It sounds as if you are doing more strength training than cardio. To lose weight you have to get your heart rate up and keep it for 20 mins or more, the longer you keep your heart rate up the…

You are young enough, however you have to decide, do you want a thinner, more healthy body, or do you want to keep increasing your weight. There isn't an quick solution except to start eating healthy. You have to stay away from sweets, all sugar items, healthy snacks instead of chips and other fattening snacks. You are the…

I'm about the same as you. About 2 months ago I realized that I didn't overeat, but I ate too much sugar. So I cut it out cold turkey, like you and increased my running and am close to you at about 23lbs. I've been recording everything I eat for the last 6 weeks or so and that really helpd!! Basil

Hi Kate, You just started so maybe cheat days are needed occasionally. You have to decide, do you want to lose a lot of weight or just kid yourself. Dieting and cheating, if done regularly is going to lead you to believe, this Dieting is just not working. If you are serious about losing weight then get a notebook and write…

As long as you know what you did you can correct it. You just can't get in the habit of "sinning" too often. You can work it off . Basil

To lose wieght takes determination. I just saw an ex sister in law today who has lost 75 lbs in the last 6 or 8 months. She said you can't eat empty calories! Thats white bread, sugar, soda pop, anything with lots of calories. She doen't do much as far as pyhsical wor outs, but she is very stringent on what she eats. You…

Hi, With your history I would recommend you talk to a Doctor who is good in nutricion. You've had enough trouble before and I would get GOOD advise if I were you! Basil

I was on the Adkins which is all about carbs, they limit to about 20 carbs for the 1st 3 or 4 weeks. You do that and you can lose weight.

Hi, You can overcome shin splints. Walk more and warm up you legs good. try running slow for a few days and not too far. if its shin plints they will go away! Basil Let me know how you are doing!! Best of luck!!

Hi, Running will definitly slim down your legs and thighs! Now only you know if you have big legs naturally and if so then running will help. Just don't overdue it at the start. If you haven't run much then walk a little then run a little, then walk a little, then run a little. You keep that up and you will notice that you…

Hi Mandy, just got back from vacation, I ran everyday for an hour except 2, but unfortunately ate too much and ate things I shouldn't have so I have to really buckle down now! Basil

Hey she was probably jealous, I'm sure everything was covered! She must have been interested in your lady parts. and if that was the case the shorts would have bee uncomfortable on y6our lady parts Basil

Well Jessica, it looks like you haven't been doing it that long, but if your clothes fit you better than you are rearranging your body. If you are eating less calories than you did and are exorsizing more, you are headedin the right way. It took a couple of weeks on the lower calories before I started to lose, but then as…

Well 6 of those meals are more or less snacks. just a snack to get you to the 3 main meals. you also are allowed to credit your calories burned in exercise for additional calories allowed. I ran today for 1 hr. and thatcredited me with 550 calories burned, so I could deduct that from my calories consumed. I don't because…

Hi New Girl, First let me explain that I am 76! I run 3 to 5 miles about 5 to 6 times a week. I like all kinds of music and am young thinking. So I am not your normal 76 yr old. I am about 6' tall ,about 6 weeks ago I weighed 230 lbs. When I would meet people at Church and tell them my age they don't believe me they think…

I agree the suppressant isn't good. are you eating good food, not fast food? You s\hould count your calories, but try to get into a walking or slow running routine. that way if you do eat, you are getting your metabolism up which will help you lose weight. Keep of of the sugar! Basil

You have to want to. How old are you and how is your weight? If you don't have a weight problem, no problem. But if you do ,then you have to decide, do you want to keep eating what you shoudn't or do you want to lose weight. The only thing that worked for me is not to have cookies, donuts or ice cream in the house. They…

yes you can, you just have to eat less calories than you did before. The Adtkins diet worked for me a few yrs ago, but when you go off of the plan you gain it back if you aren't carefull. Can't you walk ? Cutting your calories and walking will speed up the process, but if you can't then you just have to be carefull of what…

Hi, I didn't see how much weight you want to lose, but just starting out at 6 to 7 K a day is a lot. I finally got my weight under control by getting a notebook and writing down everything I eat everyday. My real weaness is cookies and icecream, so I finally realized I cannot even have these things in the house. I live…
