I was turning 30 this year, and I thought it was about damn time to get my weight under control. A couple weeks in, I was down 5 lbs. or so, and I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. That was in May of this year. I have lost 64 lbs. and my A1C has dropped from 8.5% at diagnosis to 6.3% in November! Never looking back...

Harsh! Who said that?

I definitely do this all the time. I am worse about comparing myself to real women that I actually know. Because they always seem to eat twice as much as I do, never count a calorie, never exercise, and be half the size of me (or less). With models and actresses remember these things: - They are PAID to stay thin and…

I am having a similar problem. I had lost 58 lbs., then I had a huge loss one week and lost another 6. I was down 64 lbs. total, and I was so proud of myself that I felt like I "deserved" some cheating. SO low and behold, I gained back 3.8 in ONE WEEK! And now it feels as if I've fallen off the wagon sometimes. I am still…

:laugh: HAHAHA! Exactly!! What a wicked witch. She was obviously not some beacon of health, if she was hanging out at Dunkin' Donuts herself. Like you, I would have been hurt and cried on the way home. But I also probably would have gotten angry first and called her out as the b*** that she is. People who have never had a…

I set my goal weight to a weight that I have never been in my adult life... some might say unrealistic, but I have always been overweight, and I don't want to be that anymore!! I am only 5'1", so a healthy weight for me is 120 lbs. That is my ultimate goal. And that is what I set on this site. This is a very long-term…

The estimation that you get after finishing your log for a day is only accurate based on NUMBERS alone. Meaning, if you burn the exact same amount of calories and eat the exact same amount of calories every day.... We all know that losing weight is simple in theory, but also very complicated in practice. Yes, it is…

First, I have to ask you if you weighed yourself on the same scale on week one and week two... If not, that could explain it. Another tip: I actually only eat the number of calories that is set for me by MFP. Even though you "earn" more calories by working out, I usually don't eat those calories back. Sometimes, after…

It depends on your goals. In the long-run, I say definitely choose quality over quantity. You might be able to eat 4 slices of processed low-cal wheat bread for the same calories as 1 slice of high-quality whole wheat, but I bet the latter is absorbed much better by the body and used for fuel the way that it should be. If…

I have been making conscious effort to lose weight since May of this year, and I am already down 58.4 lbs. Some weeks, I will lose 4 or 5 lbs. or more. The next week, it could be only 1 lb. or less. The point is, it generally averages out. In the 24 weeks I have been on this journey, I have lost an AVERAGE of 2.43 lbs. per…

Here is a great website for finding calories burned for activities: http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php "Aquasize" is not listed, but there is a listing for water aerobics and water calisthenics. Pick which one is closest to your aquasize class. Then, enter your weight and time spent active, and it will give you…
