Thanks everyone. I feel bad for him :-(.......He's already bought a bunch of it to sell ;-(...........I knew it was a scam, and just wanted your feed back so I can show it to him as well..............There is an easy formula for weight loss.....eat less, move more :-).......It's working for me, and I'm sticking with it :-)

1 went from 143 to 135 in 55 days :-)..........I allow myself 1200 calories a day plus the extra calories I earn when I work out ( 3 times a week) and walk ( an hour a day)........I do enjoy eating meat for the protein, and it helps me feel fuller.

My scale said " low" the other day. I was quite pleased

absolutely amazing. You look like a different person. Wow. You must be so thrilled :-)

that sounds good...I will have to try that :-)

Time, by Pink Floyd :-) Ticking away, the moments that make up a dull day.....fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way........Now you got me started.....

Thanks for the answers, I changed my settings to sedentary so now I can log my workouts and walks. I walk 80 minutes, but I take the " calories burned" they give me with a grain of salt :-)..........According to them, I burned more on the elliptical for 40 minutes than I burn when I walk for 80.......I know from the way I…

Don't worry about what others think.....if you feel you need to lose weight, then do it. If they are not worried about their own weight.....leave them alone. I don't think you need a shrink...while watching your weight, you think and talk about food more than when you are not counting calories...that seems fairly normal to…

I eat them for breakfast every day......I usually soak a cup of them in 4 cups of water overnight, that way they don't take so long to cook.( about 15 minutes) That's usually enough for the whole week.... I warm them up with a little milk and eat them with cinnamon and some walnuts :-) You can also add some barley...about…

1 pound a week is actually pretty good.....that's 500 calories less than what you need to maintain a day...... Going slowly will give your skin time to adjust, and it will keep you from being hungry and binging. It's funny how weightloss tends to show in the feet, hands, and face first :-)........congratulations on you…

You should not have to put up with the smell of that stuff!...They need to smoke outside. I would look for a different place.

Don't read these while drinking coffee.....i just sprayed coffee ( through my nose) all over my laptop. These are hilarious!!! Thanks for sharing :-)

Great post! I haven't drank the nasty stuff in a long time now, and it's good to know all the reasons not to.

I'm glad I lose pounds.....kilos take twice as long....and stones take 16 times as long.....I don't have that kind of patience :wink:

I go ahead and eat something....If I'm really hungry I figure I must have burned more than I thought. So far I have lost weight perfectly fine while doing this. Most of the time some yogurt or a piece of bread with peanut butter will do the trick.

Those were great, thanks for sharing :laugh:

i don't think it's a mistake, fruit has a lot of sugar.......but it's natural sugar and it's not gonna stop me from eating 2-3 pieces of fruit a day :-)

I'm 5'7 ish...probably a little shorter now that I'm older :-( I just reached 135 from 158.........I feel a lot better, and my clothes fit good, but i still want to lose a little more on the tummy. I think you will know how far to go by looking at your body.......I'm not in a huge hurry to lose more, but I think i will try…

I hope it's not harmful! I need my coffee before my workout ( or anything else for that matter :drinker: )

YES..........artificial sweeteners are bad for you...

I think as you lose weight, the skin gets a little "looser" ( if that's the correct word)....and will hang around the middle untill you lose more and tone up......hope that makes sense... Keep going!!

Well.......I would suggest watching some movies about food....A good start would be " King corn"..."Food Inc"...and " Food matters" I think once you get a better understanding of what goes on with the preparation of food, you will want to change the way you eat. The only way to change is to have a good reason to WANT to…

Strange.......pretty much everything you read about calorie intake will tell you not to go under 1200 ( for a woman) So, I wonder why your doctor would tell you 1000? Many doctors don't know much about nutrition....they just know about drugs............ There is much more money to be made selling drugs than telling people…

I think they're a waste of money......maybe they work for some people because now they are walking, just because they have the shoes? They think of new stuff just to get you to spend money.

Just keep going......people shouldn't be looking at how much weight you are lifting! In Planet fitness.....the machines are set up so you can't really see how much weight people have on there.. I guess with free weights...there's no way to hide it. You are there to improve your own health and you are doing more than the…

It sounds like you just need to keep losing a little more weight. You can't target where you lose it by working those parts of the body......you lose wherever your body decides to lose it.......usually the last parts to go are the first ones you gained. So.....working out is great, and will help you lose the rest of the…

You can't target where to burn fat. Just keep counting calories and losing weight. If you're anything like me, the sromach will be the last thing to go. Doing sit ups is great, and it will firm the muscles in that area, but it will not burn the fat in that area only........

I don't have self control either........if the stuff is in the house is calls out to me.......and I won't stop at just one or two either. The only way for me is to NOT have it in the house. I'm not really tempted to buy it at the store.....as long as I'm not hungry when I'm shopping.. So....I'm not too thrilled when others…

I just went through menopause....a few years of non stop hotflashes and also weight gain. I finally started tracking all my calories and found out that I only need 1600 to maintain..so it wasn't such a mystery why I was gaining. I've been staying around 1200 calories and I have lost 22 pounds so far....still have about 10…

After a day like that I would go ahead and treat myself to the burger. I know some people wouldn't agree, but you just survived a car accident...why not celebrate a little. I hope you and your daughter don't have any after effects later on.
