I just tried this 2 mths ago, trying to break my plateau and all i can say is be careful what you ask for. Depending your workout routine trying to burn 3500 cals per week is alot of exercising. You have to burn atleast 500-800+ cals per day depending on how many days you work out. I burned atleast 600-800 sometimes 1000…

I just upped my cals today as well. Im 5-10lbs from my weight goal (depending on where i want to stop) but I feel like im starving on 1200 cals and i always go over. I noticed when i lost the bulk of my weight I was eating around 1600-1900 cals a day but i was burning over 600 cals a day. Since March 2009 I have lost 50lbs…

Thank you erickirb!!! Your a life saver!!! I probably need to add more calories though bc 1200 is not cutting it anymore. Oh I feel so much better!:drinker: Justann - Not only did i change it to sedentary but i also listed my exercise as 60 mins 5 days a week so im thinking it calculated that in there as well. Yes im…

I am actually doing that diet now. I made up the receipe and loaded here. If you enter Dr. Oz Smoothie(what i titled it) you can add it to your daily caloris. I did one receipe with Tropicana low fat juice and one with minute maide pomegranite juice. The smoothie avgs about 500-600 cals because i use both a banna and…

I just finished doing this in january (you can look at my diary and see how i wz working out) month and thats why im taking a break now. I was burning 3500 cals per week so that meant I had to burn 500-700 cals per day. At the gym i would do the treadmill, elipitical, rowing maching and stationary bike. I was spending 1-2…

:smile: Im right where you are because i had to kill myself to lose 5lbs so now i have 5 more to lose. What im doing is taking a break. I went in and changed my #'s to reflect my current weightloss and no exercise. I still log in everything i eat and i actually w/o the exercise i have to eat more. Lifestyle change is also…

You guys should try fiber one low fat cottage. It is just as good and it contains fiber, which we all know we need.

Thanks so much for posting this question. I almost gave up on fruit because they have so many carbs and i was always going over my limit. So now Im going to enjoy my apples/organges/pears. Thanks you guys:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Dont feel bad im eating chocolate as i respond. Yummy!!!!:bigsmile:

Congrats to ya!!! I hope you did something real special for yourself because you deserve something. Im in the same boat with bettersusan. My weight loss has slowed big time. Anyway give yourself a big hug, pat on the back, something!! :drinker: :drinker:

What i have learned is that if you are craving something go ahead. i do not deny myself anything but of course i dont pig out on it either. Trust I have alot worse than a brownie or two, three... and still lost weight. It will be alright!!!!

Davidantell you are too funny!!!

Your right, i read the manual and the only thing it does is measure my heart rate. So yea its going back. Thanks

PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME AND LET YOUR BODY HEAL!!! You might not want to hear this but the healing of your body has to be more important than weight lost. Just for the moment. Trust me, I did not listen ended up busting stitches, had to go to thereapy to let them pack the hole i created because i would not sit down. I would…

I agree thats not dumb at all!!!! In fact that was a very healthy and smart move!!!! :smile:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :drinker: And thanks for always being there for us!!!

Thanks guys I think I will cut back on the fruit. Isotope to answer your question, if you look at my exercise for the past three weeks I have been working out to burn atleast 3500 cals a week, so by the third week i was just mentally/physically exhausted. So im going to get back on track this week and follow you guys…

Thanks for the support ladies!!! I thought it was just me. I am by no means trying to look like jillian micheals. Im 43 and have two children that are grown (yes I started early). I just want one stomach and not two. But it could always be worse. Right? Oh well lets hang in there. We live in the real world where we have to…

We are not friends right now even though exercising is holding up to its end of the bargain!!! Im just pooped. These last 10 pounds are absolutly killing me. Why does belly fat have to be this stubborn!!! :sad: :explode:

This is a wonderful idea!!! Thank you for coming up with it. I to will join you but I cannot afford the HRM until next week. Im curious to see how many cals i burn in a day prior to exercising. I hit a plateau as well. I cannot shed these last 10 pounds!! I have been stuck at 169 since november!! I have started going…

I am in the exact same boat as you!!! I have been 169 since November but i have lost inches (yea!!!). I cannot remember the guys name on this website that provides very good information but he posted an article i read where he talks about stages and i remember him saying the last stage, which is where we are is the hardest…

This is the reason I do not own a scale!!! I have been dieting since March and have lost close to 50 lbs. All I do is keep my measurements. I get on the scale at work maybe once a month. I said i was going to purchase a scale when my diet ends in March but I changed my mind. I like the measurment system better. The scale…

May the force be with you!! Thats all i can say. The food there is heaven and i can already taste those beignet (however you spell them but they are fried dough with powder sugar on top), they are so delish, you have to try atleast one but be careful bc they are addictive. By the way can you have a cheat day? If so can it…

Thanks for starting this post!! All the other WW post are over 3 mths old. Im too considering joing WW and want to ask you are you doing the momentum program? Are you finding the points system easy or difficult. Im going to give it a try just to try something different. I just need to drop 10 pounds. Please let me know…

I just did a post saying that we have a big bucket of chocolate mini's in the office and yes i have been weak but everytime i eat one and i only eat the dark choc, i run the stairs. So far i have been from the 1-3 five times today and the day is not over!!! So i understand completly. I run not walk up/down the stairs. That…

That is wonderful!!! Yea that puts things in perspective doesnt it. Life and living healthy is MORE important!!! Dont sweat the small stuff (the perfect body, although i do understand where your coming from):drinker: :bigsmile: :happy:

I do not own a scale and do not plan on buying one until March which will be a year since i started. I just take measurements every two weeks. At the bldg i work in has a scale and i messed up and weighed myself in the afternoon (i know that was wrong) so i can only go by the fact that it said 169 so i took off 5 bc i had…

WOW!!! You look amazing and you deserve to treat yourself for ALL of your hard work!!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: CONGRATS TO YA GIRL. SEXY SEXY SEXY

1. Drink water all day long 2. Drink green tea with atleast one meal - this boost your metab 3. chew sugar free gum 4. EVERY THING w/the exception of meat that goes in my mouth contains fiber 5. Always take the stairs even if its just one flight - this adds up to lots of calories burned (i run up/down all the time) 6.…

Do you mean mxing a bag of honey tea with a bag of lemon tea and a bag of cinnaman tea. Or adding honey and lemon to cinnamon tea. Im sorry could you please explain. Thanks.
