You didn't say how much weight you are trying to lose. My sister in law who is an exec. at a hospital in Grand Rapids Mi. went on a program that the hospital sponsers. They put her on 1200 calories and 80 grams of protein per day. She has lost almost 80 lbs in 7 months. I wanted to lose about 40 lbs. so I started counting…

You've been going with him a year or so, you like most of the things about him. The only way you can motivate him is to keep motivating yourself. He should see how turned on you are from working out. He doen't have to go to a gym. He can start by eating right and maybe starting a running program.

I think if you REALLY want to lose weight, don't worry about what calories from breastfeeding you can claim. Do as much physical activity you can do to burn calories. Best of luck!! Basil

I buy cans of sugar free sliced pears and peaches and put a few in with the cottage cheese

WOW, YES IT IS A NEW YOU!!!!1 Congratulations because I know you had to suffer statring out. Add me as a fierd if you will, I'd like to keep in touch with you. Basil

You have to eat LESS calories than you have been, eat at least 80 grams of protein a day and increase your activity. YOU have to encourage YOU. We can help, but motivation comes from within. 185 should be all the motivation you need. You have a pretty face and should take advantage of it

I've been thru a few diets. This is different. I look at this program as a lifechanging Experience. You are learning over time what you can eat and lose weight . You don't have to necessarily cut anything out, just limit it. Thats why overtime, keeping a good tracking on your food you learn how to manage it. I don't think…

I think the purpose of this program is to find a calorie count along with a protein program where we lose wieght over time and when we get to out target weight, we will have found how we can maintain our eating habits to keep from gaining weight in the future. We have to be on a program we can live with. If you eat less…

If you are eating the way you should nad excersizing, don't worry about it. Get off of the obsession to keep daily tabs on you weight. I bet your clothes fit you better!! Weigh yourself no more than once a week and I dropped to every 2 weeks so I could see a bigger drop. I am sure you are fine Basil Add me to yor firend…

Hi Annabelle, Don't you think your dad would want you to remember the good times, but enjoy life. Life is for the living. You are a beautifull lady and It sounds like you have a great husband, grab ahold of what you HAVE, not of what you lost. You have great memories and you should be adding to others great future memories…

Good shoes are a big requiement. Not necessarily expensive, but good cushiny. Not know your weight, it's kind of hard. But I recommend to new runners, start by walking when you can walk without pain, then start by jogging slowly. Anytime you start an excersize like running or jogging, things are going to hurt. They have…

Hey Mike, We have to be addicted to something, whats wrong with diet coke!! Somebody will tell us soon, but what they are addicted to could be worse!!

It's HARD sometimes not to prejudge people, but that shows how wrong we can be!!! Basil

Well whats your orientation Angel?

Well we call a lady with a great body, but not a good face a "BUTTER FACE" Everything is great BUTTER FACE !!!!

Start by walking to loosen up knee and legs, if knee feels ok just go for 10 mins or so, if it still feels ok go anther 10. Don't overdo it until your sure you knee is ok Basil

Whey advanced protien at meijers, if you have mejers there. I think a lot of places sell it. you can mix it with anything. i use no fat milk 26g with 1 scoop. Also plain no fat yogurt. I mis sugar free jello powder with it for taste Basil

The big thing is to run at your own pace! Don't get caught up in anyone elses pace. The big thing on your 1st Run is to just finish. On your future races you just try to better your previous time. However, if the course isn't the same as the 1st run you have to take that into consideration. Again, the big thing is just…

IT DEPENDS ON HOW FAT YOU WANT TO GET !!!!!!!!!!! Basil

Well obviuosly the one wqas a smaller size. That is really great that you went down to a smaller size Jewel Girl !! Basil

Try veggies and non fatening foods to curb your appetite. Plain no fat yougurt is good. I mix sugar free jello powder with it and it tastes pretty good and I hate yougurt!!! Basil Add me to your friend list and let me know how you are doing

Hi, I am 76 and run at least 1 hour per day. Today I did 1hr v43 mins. I've told several people on MFP Start by walking to warm up then start an easy jog. Do that until your breathing gets hard, then wal again, when your breathing is back to normal, start jogging again. Start fairly slow and as your lungs improve you can…

I just saw that insane thing on TV! Is that what you all are doing? Basil

If you are NEVER again going to eat wheat, thats fine, but this program is all about You adjusing your eating to something that will help you lose weight and keep it off. I've been on several of those DIETS, that work and once you go off of them the weight comes back on. Whole grain adds fiber that keeps everything working…

The hospital told her not to eat mose than 1200 calories in a day Basil

I last about 30 lbs and had almost 3 weeks of no losses. I talked to my sister in law who is a nusre and lost 75 lbs and she said she to reached a plateau and went almost 3 weeks before losing again. After 3 weeks I weighed myself and lost 4 lbs. So it happens. Just dn't lose your focus on watching what you eat. My sister…

You haven't gained either, but I agree, you should weigh yourself no more than once a week and then as soon as you get up! Basil I'd like to add you to my friend list
