Minnie, We all start somewhere. Starting is the hardest part. You can do this. Start to walk, do the C25K program if you want to run. Just start. See how you do. One step is better than no steps with the couch. Once you get into it, you will notice results. My tips 1. Start 2. Have realistic expectations (you are going to…

short women steak or chicken?

this thread is about to

go see a dr.

The American. OMG that was so bad.

Kelley's Hereos. One of my favorite movies. Telly Savales, Clint Eastwood, Don Rickles to name a few.

food all mixed together. FEED ME.

OP, you will notice a gain of weight for a few weeks as your body adjusts to and gets used to the calories and the difference in protein and carbs. Once your body regulates (month or so) you should notice more strength, more energy, and then will start losing again. Give it a month to two months then start regulating the…

steak and a potato. OMG the horror. Agree with FunkyTobias.

so what are you going to do different than the last time you were on here?

Beer. let me set the stage. you are with the one you love. ride out a snowstorm (with a sleeping bag for two) in a car or ride out the hurricane?

your logic offends me.

Shep you are well on your way. Continue walking. Get into strength training. Plenty of body weight or free weight programs to help you out.

must be a Steelers fan.

False- Introverted TPBM has thought about going home from work in the past ten minutes.

Bottom line what your husband is doing is verbal abuse. It is manipulative and abusive in nature. Time for him to learn how to be a human being and a man that knows how to talk to a woman. I suggest you have a discussion with him about it. If he can't treat you like a person deserves to be treated go to counseling first,…

Oh the joys of being vain.

Setting shorter realistic goals is an awesome way to start. Shoot for between 1.5 and 3 lbs if you look at the scale. Take measurements and set a goal to be smaller in those areas. Set a goal to change your lifestyle. Count your calories 6 out of 7 days this week. Measure and weigh your portions.

8 lbs in how long? It looks like you just started, is that correct? Did you really expect weight that you have accumulated in this lifetime to come off just like that? Set some realistic expectations.

Absolutely not muscle. However, it could be simple water retention. I am assuming you had not worked out like you have these past two weeks before. It is typical for some to experience a gain when embarking on a new fitness regime. Muscles will hold onto water molecules to help repair themselves. 7-9 workouts in a week…

eating healthy on vacation is all about choices. I tend to slip into the same rotine for eating when I am not on vacation. I grab fruit and vegetables when I get to destination for the snack attack I am sure to have. The hardest part is ordering when eating out. I have a hard time eating in moderation so it is a struggle…

Set some realistic expectations. Plenty of people have lost weight with drinking beer. It is a matter of accounting for it. We all started somewhere, do your best. Some days are great some days are harder than others. You have identified your days that are harder. How are you going to incorporate a few beers into your…

You could try with different amounts of carbs before you workout. For me, a piece of wheat bread with peanut butter and a banana is ideal. See what works for you. See what works for you. Adding small amounts to get you to an optimal level will be a trial and error event.

Are you eating before you workout? Are you drinking before and during? How long ago did you start?

LOL

@wolfsbayne- Sorry for your loss. @OP My complaint would be both soles of my shoes fell off. Dress uniform and my shoes look like the principal at the end of Ferris Buellar's day off.

To maintain, try at least twice a week. normal 5K pace.
