Ok the scale is BROKE.You can gain some water/sodium intake weight,but no way that much over night. My advice,check the batteries,or get a new scale.Make sure you weigh yourself the same time and way every time you weigh to not get any unecessary variations.Best of luck,don't fret abt.the number,IT IS WRONG!

Ok I did this,I hope I did it right.Looked like I was not eating enough for the amount I was exercising.So my TDEE is 1900,do I need to eat at 20% below this number to lose?Which would be 1520,and this includes exercise right,so I don"t eat back any calories earned by exercise.???????Thanks for any feedback.

I love to saute vegetables with olive oil,garlic,add a bit of Romano cheese,or fresh lemon. You can hide alot of vegetables in soup and it tastes good. I make a Turkey vegetable soup: 93% lean ground turkey,cooked,seasoned and drained low sodium /low fat chicken broth 1 1/2 cups 28oz. tomato puree 2-3 cups of purified…

Thanks Klevenson!:):happy:

Ok, so where and how does one figure out their TDEE. I think I may be off with my calories.I have been exercising 5 days a week,1 1/2 hrs.each day.I have not been eating all of my exercise claories back,but try to at least eat half of them. I need to learn how to figure my TDEE.I must be doing something wrong,the scale is…

I go by the palm of my hand,about 4 0z. for meat.1/2 cup for vegetables,pasta,or rice.I fI snack,I go by counting out 1 suggested serving on package.Good luck!:)

Oh you so made my day.I will have to try this one,hated giving up coffee drinks.Can't beleive how low in calories/fat it is. Thanks.BUMP for later.

Nance,Thanks for the website,sounds like I pretty much eat this way now,but I will check out the details in the article.

Congratulations,definately see the results!:)

What is the PAleo diet,never heard of it?Thanks

Look into the GI Diet,Glycemic Index,helps with the insulin resistence.Good Luck!:)

Sounds worth a try,where did you find these?

My waist and butt,even when the scale stayed the same for a while,my pants were falling down.Should have logged the extra effort it took to get my pants up while exercising,lol....Unfortunately,I have not lost any in the chest,my boobs are still as annoying as ever.

Crystal, I talked to my doctor abt.this,she told me to avoid this due to insulin resistence,the extracts from friut can cause same high spike in insulin.She told me to continue eating healthy,add in some lower sugar content fruits at times and to take a good multi-vitamin.Good luck dear!:)

I started to lose weight,then stopped losing pounds,but was losing inches on lower part of my body/pper part of my body.I decreased my cardio and did more weights ,seem to help. JM 30DS is a good 20 min. circuit training with weights you can do at home.

sounds interesting,will have to give this a try.Thanks,bump

Marinate in EVOO,lemon juice,garlic and fresh basil,sea salt and pepper.Grill,bake,or fry.Another idea,is baste with honey teriyaki,low sodium sauce,grill and top with fresh pineapple.

This is a fast paced walk for me.I fluctuate from 4.0 to 3.5,changing the incline.

I think it is after it is prepared.Imake mine up and measure what I eat.

I would talk to someone else first,then if they can"t loan them out,ask if you can buy/bring your own.Also,check into the cost of swimming lessons to increase your confidence.I am so proud of you for going and working through your fears.Don't let this get you down,keep swimming.:)

I make steel cut oats ahead,add fruit,or yogurt,some flax seed.Omega 3 eggs,or egg whites topped with fresh salsa and avocado slices. Premake hard boiled eggs and cut up an apple w/natural almond,or peanut butter..

DON'T GIVE UP!YOU CAN DO THIS<DO IT FOR YOURSELF FIRST. In time,those who do not support you will see the change you made and be inspired.I struggled with getting out of the house and into a gym to workout,because I worried about what everyone else would think. The only way to get over that,is to JUST DO IT! Once you get…

Same here, I feel like I have to eat so frequently just to get close to my goal.I have a whey protein shake,especially after workouts,they help satisfy your hunger.I eat fruits,veggies with hummus,or a little natural peanut butter for a treat.Also,greek nonfat yogurt,handful of almonds,or a rice cake.

Going for it!:):drinker:

I go natural.I am there for myself,not for others to look at me.I used to be self conscious about how I would look,when I first met my husband,I was afraid to let him see me without makeup. Until one day,I thought:I am me with,or without makeup and if this guy doesn;t like me,then so what.I don't want to waste my time with…

I like Rocco Dispirito's buttered squash noodles. Cook the squash ,scrape out with a fork.put 2 tbs.unsalted butter in frying pan,1 tbs water,Parmigiano_reggiano cheese 1/2 of 1/2oz,2tablespoons of fresh parsley,salt/pepperAdd shredded squash..Sautee until warm,add more water if needed..top with other 1/2 of cheese.Eat and…

Sounds like you do not need to lose weight,but to tone and strengthen.Your diet consists of alot of carbs which tends to make me hold water.I cut out bad carbs such as pasta/rice/breads,ate more protien carbs like beans,yogurt.If I eat any grains I will have quinoa,or brown rice.Don't get me wrong,you can treat yourself to…

Coffee,Oh how I miss thee.I think I shall have another cup....:drinker:
