No the problem is that if cut to many calories then you will lose muscle you may achieve your goal of the 10 lbs. but you won' t look and feel the way you want to. You are definitely on a plateau as am I but remember diet is only 80% of the formula. If your exercise plan is stagnant change it. If you only walk run a little…

I know exactly what you mean I have two kids a job and transportation is not provided to my kids school. So every morning it takes me an hour and a half just to get to work. I love going to the gym its good for me mentally but I am only averaging once or twice a week for about an hour. What I did was go to Walmart bought a…

I personally have a big problem with sodium. So I know if eat something that even though its not high in calorie but it is high in sodium when I weigh I am going to weigh heavy as much as 2 lbs. At those times I will retain water and then it seems as if it all flushes out and I am heading in the right direction again. I…

I was raised with gun in my home but they were never loaded and even though I am a guy. I don't want loaded guns in my house not with kids might be different if it were just me and the wife. The gun ( I only have one) and the bullets are not kept in the same place. I know that my kids can't load the gun accidently if there…

no you shouldn't go to the gym but you should still get out and expercise if you can. Run around the block walk up and down stairs in a building but be considerate of others. You wouldn't want to catch a cold at the gym from someone else would you? I know you not thinking of it as a you over them deal and your thing that…

Right is right and wrong is wrong if she said that she would pay you for the holiday then she owes you for the holiday. What did you say in the note? Was it a nuge or statement of fact. If it was a nuge you might want to write another note explaining that you were counting on her paying you as you had originally agreed. If…

I think you pretty much have to keep the money. Obviously to her it was something she really really wanted to do and probably gives her that feeling of pride that she was able to do it. What I would do is as you say be ready when she needs you. Make an effort to save that much money or more for a rainy day account for your…

Accoutability is a huge motivator and look how well you have done with it. But as you have noted you have stalled and are not to your goal. I think WW is an excellent program even though I have never taken that plunge why because it has helped millions just like you. I think you should stay the course that works for you.…

Girls 24 21 14 12 yes I can relate. Those old tire cliches are true a new journey begins with one step. The best kept secret is there are no secrets and you need friends to steer with you in the right direction.

Good Luck to you. I know the feeling, commit to do better and you will and if you have a bad day follow it with a good one. I think one of the problems we all have is that we get discouraged when things aren't going well. Set you goal and if you stumble get back up and go for it again you will make it.

You have already done the hardest part of any race which is the start. My advice for you from a much older man is to never be shy or embarrased of the work that you do and in all things develop a "Propensity for Action". Get up now and go go go! and don't stop until after you cross the finish line. You'll never regret that…

I know that your probably already doing it, but make sure that you buy frozen vegitables rather than canned. That will really help on the sodium. Sugar is seams to be a whole lot more obvious than sodium; From my prospective your way ahead anyway because your looking at the details. Processed foods are killers because the…
