I have a digital Taylor that has been a war horse. I think it cost under $30. Mine measures in ounces and grams, and I primarily use grams to ensure accuracy. If you are getting different readings I your scale, try changing the batteries first.

ODAT! 28 years without a drink. Life is amazing.

Ummmmm...why? That's pretty drastic.

Your friend should find out why he has acid reflux first. He should see a gastroenterologist. I suffered from acid reflux for over 20 years, and the cause of it was from a medical condition called primary hyperparathyroidism. This medical condition caused a myriad of other symptoms, but reflux was the first symptom, and it…

Welcome back! Work out an eating plan that you will be happy to continue once you make your goal weight.

I have lost weight before through Weight Watchers, and their idea of maintenance was not sustainable to me. Frankly, neither was the weight loss program. I always felt deprived. This time around, I am eating food that I love. I am able to track and record meals that I make from my own recipes. Maintenance will be scary,…

I log my weight once a month. I step on the scale daily. Learning to accept the fluctuations.

Been there, done that. Got serious this time. How about eating regular food within your calorie allowance so that you don't have to change how you eat when you reach your goal? All you have to change is how much. You are more than welcome to look at my diary. I also weight train, swim, walk, and do yoga and exercise…

How about swimming? Doing at least 1/2 hour of laps will make a difference in your fat composition. Watching your calories and doing weights will help make that difference, too. Start by developing your major muscle groups: legs, back, shoulders, abs; then work into doing compound exercises.

Really? Then why am I losing weight and still building muscle? At the most, I am only eating back a couple of hundred calories of my exercise calories at the most, but I am still building muscle and losing fat. I've been on this course for the last four years, and I can now really see the progress that I have been making.…

My biggest issue was right between my ears! I used to see my dietician once a week to weigh in, and that created a lot of anxiety for me. We switched to once a month, and that has worked splendidly. I came to dread that weekly weigh-in, and started patterns of disordered eating that disturbed me.

Maryland!

I made Lifetime on WW over 20 years ago, and I gained everything plus more back. The plans kept changing, the costs kept creeping up, and the meetings were so crowded. I also had an illness that kept me from exercising without injury. I hit bottom about four years ago, and found a WW type program through Walter Reed…

Considering that you are hypoglycemic, are you doing this under a doctor's supervision? Are you seeing a registered dietician? Have you had complete bloodwork done to rule out other issues?

Herbalife is still around?????

gebeziseva, what convention are you speaking of? What mysterious pseudoscience is this? If you put a pound of fat and a pound of muscle on a scale, they would both weigh one pound. There is a considerable difference in volume, ergo, my statement about muscle taking up less real estate, but they weigh exactly the same. No…

What is your exercise life like? Do you have variety in your meals? If you find that your food intake is a drudge, you may want to mix it up a little. Above all, don't be so darned hard on yourself.

Muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound the world around. Muscle takes up less real estate than fat. Weight training will seriously help you. Gaining muscle will help to increase your metabolism and give you a true sense of empowerment.

Add muscle.

Apart from liposuction, I can't think of a way to lose that kind of weight.

Nope. Junk food is in the micro and macro nutrients. If more than 50% of your calories are in fat or sugar, you might want to make another choice. If the amount of sodium is more than 40% of your daily allowance per serving, you might want to reconsider. Garbage in, garbage out. If your objective is to lose weight, eat…

Sent you a friend request. No marathons for me! My old right knee wouldn't hear of it. I swim laps, do yoga, weight train, dance, and do low-impact cardio. I eat real food, and include members of most food groups. I cook my own food for the most part, and have lots of recipes.

Ummmm...why don't you get a gown that fits?

If you have a lot of weight to lose, drastically changing your calorie allowance may set you up for failure. If you were initially eating 2000 calories or more during the day, and you cut your intake by 50% or more, your body is going to miss that 50% and protest. You will lose weight if you cut it by 20%, and then adjust…

Set a schedule. Stick to it. Make it non-negotiable. It is never too early to start a weight training regimen. Work with a trainer initially to come up with a routine. Get refreshers if you are starting to get bored, or if your routine is too easy. If your gym has a pool, sign up for aqua exercise classes. If you are a…

People who start out losing weight on fad diets never develop a realistic relationship with food. I am so done with that. My mantra is to eat real food in moderation without having to cut out entire classes of food. What you eat in any given day should reflect that. People cut out gluten without knowing why gluten should…

A millions times yes. Weight training helps to increase your metabolism.

I have always had a big butt, but it turned into a big, saggy butt. I am getting rid of the sag, but that takes time, squats, lunges, classes and cardio. Do the time, get the butt you were meant to have... My ortho told me that I will probably have a knee replacement in my future, so you know I am working it know.

I struggled with my weight until I gave up, stopped struggling, and took ownership of the things I could control. I get guidance from a nutritionist and an exercise physiologist, and track my food intake. I eat what is suggested, do no special diet, and work hard. I prepare most of my meals, but still have dinner at a…
