The same thing happens to me this week. I've been eating 1200 calorie & working out daily & the scale didn't move. BUT, I have been taking measurements and lost two inches on my waist a 1/2 inch on my hips and 1/2 inch on my thighs. Sometimes the scale doesn't move because of water retention or whatever reason. Make sure…

Can always use friends for support! :)

Trying to do 1200 calories a day. Day 1 went well. Add me and we can help support each other.

Happy New Year! My goal is health. I'm tired of not feeling well, my clothes not fitting and just being grumpy. (because I don't feel well and my clothes don't fit.) I would love to learn how to eat to support my body, not eat to quiet my mind. I want to find exercises that I enjoy and want to do. I am open to any and all…

Thanks for all your input. I'm going to talk to my Dr b-4 trying it. I will let you know what she thinks and if it works out.

Wow I started off doing not so awful but have put it right back on. Oh scale when will you ever just be nice to me?

Pasta. We used to eat it all the time, now we have sweet potatoes or brown rice. I still think I like it but when it comes down to fixing a meal I choose something else instead.

Sorry about the typ- o! I guess it was just wishful thinking. I made the correction and hope that my error was a premonition for the future! Have a great night all!

I'm in! Sounds like a great challenge!

I started at the recommended 1200 calories too, but after talking to a personal trainer and doing some experimenting on my own, here is what I'm finding...I can still lose weight on more calorie. I have my ticker at 1800 and most days i do not eat that much, I eat around 1500. I HAVE to cut out processed food!. NO MORE! I…

I completely agree with those that say " you have to listen toy YOUR body". Everyone is different. You may have to play with your calorie and what you take in for carb/protein/fats listen to what your body is telling you. If your at 1200 cal and have no energy, up your calories or your proteins. If your at 1500 cal and see…

My goal is 10% of my current weight, which is 16 lbs. I really want to lose the belly fat. I'm a true apple! Belly, no butt to speak of and bird legs! Haha!

I like the commercial break idea too! We do that while watching the biggest loser or other favorite shows. Make me feel less like a slouch.

Don't worry about what others are saying that is negative. There are many of us out here that understand what you are saying because we have felt the same thing. Good for you for making better choices for yourself! I know I feel good when I realize that I have turned that corner in decision making. Keep looking forward!

I am a newbie here and saw the scale move the first cpl weeks, then NOTHING! I was very frustrated and then I talked to a personal trainer that told me I was getting to few calories. I was getting about 1400/day. He asked me to up my calories to around 1800, but I needed to cut out bread, pasta, dairy (aka cheese) and…

I'm just going to give this a try. I talked to a personal trainer yesturday and told him what I have been doing for calories and he thought I should be taking in about 1800-2000 calories. He also told me to cut out carbs after 3pm. No Pasta No Bread and No Fruit. I sounds completely crazy but I'm going to give it a try. I…

Love the diagnoisis! I definately agree about getting the Dr. seal of approval. I also have hypothyroidism so a little pill every morning helps to keep me level. Funny how one little gland can wreak such havick in our bodies.

I feel alot of the same things that you do. Sometimes my excuse is I don't have enough time or I'm to tired. I'm starting to realize, slowly, that if I DON'T do the excercise that is when I get more depressed, or I guess that disappointed is maybe a better word for how I feel. If you would like to be an online work out…

I find that when I am stressed I head for chocolate! Trying to make sure that instead of bad food to munch on i have healthy foods. Work is the worst! People constantly bring in sweets! Thank goodness for baby carrots!
