For me it was a gradual weight gain over the years. I never owed a scale until I purchased one for my high school aged wrestling son who needed to know if he would make weight or not (he would drop from 155 in football season to 135 for wrestling season). As I purchased new clothes I went up a size over the years. In…

First, plan your weekly menu before you go shopping. If you work outside the home and are limited on time when you get home to prepare meals use the crockpot a lot. I also pre-preprae time consuming meal tasks the night before so when you get home you finish the meal prep and then prepare in advance for the next day. (i.e.…

Technically it's not cheating... Because I got my workout in and I have the calories to spare. I will be having a traditional Friday night fish fry for dinner. And I will enjoy every bite. :)

I much prefer to run outside. I will go outside in 30 degree weather, I can bundle up enough, but it is the slippery ice/snow that keeps me indoors. (Wisconsin weather) So, I suffer through the treadmill or elliptical. I sarted out by just listening to music on my iphone and telling myself "i'll just do it for 20 mintes" I…

Thanks for the input... I guess I'm just not used to seeing the lack of movement on the scale, which unfortunetly is the only way I can gauge my sucess or lack there of. Additionally I will put a pound on one week and then the next week be down 1.5. Yes, still down. but... Ultimately what it boils down to is I am terrified…

I soooo wish I would have taken before mesurements. I'm really mad I did not!

I have been running and limiting calories since the end of June. I'm short (5'1") and on days I do not exercise I only eat 1200 calories. But on days I exercise I eat back the calories I burned. The reason you do not lose weight if you eat too few calories is your body stores the caloric intake for fear of starvation. Or…

I know this is sexist, but i think Tattoos on women are tacky. One tattoo on a man is okay. I know they are very popular for women, and I'll catch a lot of grief for my thoughts, but it's just my opinion.

I don't think we are necessarily lazier as a nation, I think over booked. We are constantly running around carting ourselves, children, etc.. to functions, events, etc... It's easier and more convenient to hit the fast food drive through or make a frozen meal. All of which is unhealthy, full of calories, sodium and the…

I have three sports invloved teenagers (19, 16, 12) and they eat the same things I do only more. I have never made "diet" food for dinner. Just healthy everyday food; meat, veggies, fruit and some starch. I always go easy on the starch and stay away from the bread (my weekness). I'm going with the state of mind that I'm…

Welcome! My friend recommend this site to me about 7 weeks ago. I find the ease of tracking my calorie intake wonderful. I primarily use the app (on my iphone) to track food consumption and exercise. I also track my weight loss. I want to lose 25 pounds and have lose 8 so far. I occasionally go to the message boards for…

Believe me the C25K is the way to go. I was starting from scratch, not really in shape at all and I'm now on the middle of week 6. If you would have asked me 6 weeks ago if I could run for 10 minutes straight I would have said you were crazy. I'm still skeptical that the next three weeks will get me to a 5K, but I have…
