I'm 5'4 and weigh 218. I power walk with my dog outside 3 x per week and a Jillian michaels DVD twice a week. I can't do every single exercise but I try my best. You should be able to do anything modified. Walking is a great start even if it's only if it's a short distance :) you can do it :)

I had the same problem until i started adding weights. I just used to do cardio and now i use Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and lost 2.3 lbs in 5 days. It really got me over the hump. Are you doing any muscle exercies? I also try a mild cheat day once per week and find that can also get me over the hump...by minor cheat…

So i'm just going to throw it out there. I agree that i can eat 1200 cal a day and lose weight. I lost 75lbs doing this 3 years ago. I did gain some back and recently when i went back to this method i couldn't lose. I went to my DR and dietitian and was advised to eat my TDEE also that i'm not just to eat a yogart for…

i do the same

i use the 20% subtraction. I've been doing it for 4 weeks. I was only eating 1200 cal before and my calculation is 1630. I expected to have a gain in the first few weeks and was mentally preparing for it lol. To my surprise i LOSTTTTT yea! 2.5 the first week and a solid pound every week after that. This method has really…

Seriously read the In Place of A Road Map article. Search for it on here. It will tell you what your goal should be each day regardless of eating back exercise cals etc. I eat 1600 and exercise 4-5xweek. I've lost the most weight following this article and u won't have to worry about what to do with the exercise cals. I…

Hey! I'm on day 8 and love it. I think you could use plates if that is what u have. I use 5lbs for some and 8lbs for others. 2.5 lbs will be too light. You have to push yourself to a certain extent since it's a 20 min work out. You do not need a lot of space. I do it in my small office :). Day 1-3 sucked and i was super…

I agree. I eat 1600 calories regarless of whether i exercise or not. if i know for sure that i cannot exercise i will hold back to 1500. i had been eating back all of my exercise calories in the past and lost for a while but soon my metabolism slowed down and i stopped losing all together. I think u need to decide what…

LMAO!!

I'm 28 and on here all the time. I'll keep you in line if you do the same for me lol!

Im in the same boat. I am totally aware that i got to where i am by eating junk food but now that i'm trying not to eat refined sugars and such it is hard to get to 1400 for me. I eat a lot of lean meat and yogart etc. I recently started muching on almonds at work and this gives me an extra 200 calories and a boot of…

Californiagir - i'm not judging anyone or comparing myself to them. The reason I look at their diary's is too see what their eating and get ideas for my own meals. But if someone is eating too little there is not a whole lot of selection lol. You misunderstand what i am asking for. No worries :) Thanks everyone else for…

I LOVE my heart rate monitor and my last trainer approved. If anything i think that it helps to keep me motivated. For example, i have a certain routine i do and if i can burn 400 calories doing it and i burn less i know i need to kick it up. I use mine everyday and really like having it. I find that according to my…

Hop back on my friend! I fell off too I'll add you :) i lost 75 lbs and 30 found their way back. You can do it!!!

Hey! I'm 27 and have about 40 lbs i'd like to lose. I have lost 75 lbs in the past about 4 years ago but just this year 30 creeped back on...ouch. I'm also looking for support. My food diary setting are set to allow friends see my diary on purpose as i feel it keeps me more accountable lol. I'm willing to do the same for…
