Fortunately, I didn't gain it **all** back. I lost about 42 pounds and gained back 25 of it over the course of one year. Why? - Stopped logging - Not enough exercise - Denial Now I'm back - logging and accountable. Even when I was losing weight, I told myself that I would always need to log what I ate. For some reason, I…

"i never understand these posts.. you can't manage to eat X amount of calories in a day now that you are trying to lose weight as opposed to the calories you ate to excess over the years to get overweight in the first place? huh" This! I could eat 1500 calories in my sleep! Every single bite that goes into your mouth…

Salads are healthy. Fish is healthy. Not enough calories is not healthy. Not enough protein is not good for breastfeeding moms.

Are you going to eat salad for breakfast...? Am I missing something.

Not what I was expecting when I clicked on this thread. I personally don't believe any of those whole food are inherently "bad." Would I eat potatoes every single meal? No. Would I eat beef every single meal? No. But in moderation - yes. Potatoes - potassium source. Beef - iron source. Now beans and fruits... nonsense.…

Cathe Fredrich had a Low Impact series that I find very challenging.

How does the "gym nurse" know that you lost muscle? Were you measuring your muscle or something...? Maybe you didn't lose muscle and everything was fine.

I don't have either of those - well, actually, I own the whole low impact series but haven't gotten around do tackling Afterburn yet... Anyway, I have been doing Athletic Training from the Low Impact Series - I wear a HRM to track my calories burned and enter the actual caolries under Circuit Training. I burn around 400…

i've past my deadline. I started in June 2013 and had 51 pounds to lose. I planned to lose 1 pound per week and figured I'd be at my goal by June 2013. Weellllll, June 13 came and went and I ama little over 10 pounds from my goal. My weightloss and motivation slowed down. However, the good news is (1) I decided to set my…

Your protein goal is set at 94 grams per day. I don't know your size or if you are male or female - but depending upon that, 94 grams seems like a very high goal.

Are you a vegetarian? I don't see much meat in your food log. I am not a vegetarian (but do eat meatless for breakfast and lunch). You need to cut down on cheese as your primary protein source - cheese is high in fat and will pack on the calories fast. Try eating more beans, eggs. Also, I add chia seeds to my morning…

What about your weightloss? Years ago, I lost weight and also reduced the amount of meat I was eating (substituted beans, so I thought I was OK) and my hair started falling out (not as badly as what you describe, though). My hairdresser recommended more protein and more calcium. I increased my protein and incorporated a…

OP, I have the SAME problem! I lost 40 pounds then just really lost the imperative to lose the last 10 pounds. I have myself set at 1/2 pound per week - but go over most days. So I am really at maintenance. The good news is that I'm not gaining! The problem with me is that I am content at this weight. I shouldn't be…

When I do stuff like that, I wear a HRM to measure my calories burned and just enter is as circuit training.

To me, 400 cals is a meal. Instead of considering it a "snack" why not consider it a meal. Make yourself a sandwich or bacon and eggs or PB&J or whatever else you eat for a meal.

There seems to be a focus by some users of this website on exercise as a weighloss tool. Even if a person is not trying to lose weight, they should exercise. Exercise keeps your heart stronger, your bones strong, staves off diabetes and other diseases and maintains lean muscle mass. You should think of exercise as a…

I have had an elliptical for four years and use it at least three times per week. I use "Cardio Coach" guided workouts and never get bored. I like the elliptical because it is low impact. When I shopped for mine, I went to "DrTreadmill" website and read reviews of the various models. If you do decide to buy a used machine,…

bump. Thanks for taking the time.

Yes, I workout at home so my workout shoes stay clean and pristine. The only way I can tell that I need new shoes is that my left knee starts to hurt. Otherwise, they look brand new. It is kind of disheartening to have to replace shoes that look so new - but working out in pain is not a great idea, either!

I enjoy working out with DVDs. Go to Collagevideo.com and look through their collection. I think you can search workouts by equipment required. Good luck. I find that DVDs push me harder than I would push myself.

The first 6 months, I lost at the rate of about 1 pound per week. For the last 7 months it has been super-slow. I have lost 10 pounds in 7 months! I calculated how many days I have been at it (little over 400) and how much I have lost (40 pounds) and that works out to 01 pound per day. I am OK with the slow loss, though. I…

I have been working out with Cathe for nearly 20 years. I probably have 30 of her videos. My current favorites are Power Hour, Muscle Max, STS Total Body (strength training), athletic training, high step training (circuit). I have trouble doing her high impact workouts, but she has really responded in the last few years…

You seem to eat lots of prepared and fast food. Perhaps start encorporating more home-cooked food plus fruits and vegetables. I definitely think that your diet is to blame for your lack of energy.

Just the thought of them shoving you into the MRI makes me have an anxiety attack! I'm glad you are more comfortable in the machine. I'd still need a "happy pill" to be able to get into one of those machines!!

I would alternate cardio one session, strength training the other. If 40 minutes is too short to get all of you muscles in your strength training session, perhaps work half you muscles one day and half during the next strength training session.

It took about 20 pounds. It was kind of disappointing because I was hoping that people would notice sooner. At about the 30 pound mark, even more people started mentioning it.

It's funny, even though my husband is the nicest guy on earth, I don't think that would be his reaction (OP's husband) if I wore skinny jeans because he's like you, he hates them.

I'm the same as you. I exercise for one hour, six days per week pretty vigorously and take Mondays off. If I go over by 300 calories on Mondays, I don't sweat it. I know I can more than make up for it the rest of the days in the week.

I've bought some great bottoms at Burlington Coat Factory. I work out at home, so being up to the minute in fashion is not my goal. However, I have large breasts and can't cheap out on exercise bras. I buy this on sale and with coupons at Kohls. To work out at home, I wear some type of bottom and exercise bra and keep nice…

I'm 50 now, but when I was about 19, I ended up at the doctor with a problem similar to yours. I was dieting and was not eating any fat or drinking much water. I was miserable and the doctor prescribed an enema. What I learned: fat in absolutely necessary for your body and water is even more important. When I am…
