I was worried too, bought an HRM and found that it was over calculating on most, and in some cases I was burning more that I expected. So I'm glad I got the HRM and I feel at least it is more accurate for me! I don't eat all my exercise calories back, because I don't trust all the calorie counts and I would rather be safe…

:laugh: You always respond to the funniest topics, so I figured this had to be good!

Good for you! Keep it up you are definately on the way!

I went to my surgeon because I am having some reconstructive work done on the girls next month(they didn't survive the weight loss). While I was there, I was toying with what other things I might look at fixing...My surgeons assistant made me go in a private room and disrobe. Then she took pictures of me and the body parts…

I am so sorry that you are going through this. For what it's worth, remember that after the binge the problem still remains....Hang in there and use all the pent up emotion and energy for something that will bring you peace not regret. A good book, a visit to a therapist for just a good long talk or cry, or a good group of…

I think its natural to get a little burned out. I wouldn't suggest taking a week off, but rather loosen up a bit. Still log everything, still do active things with your family and enjoy some yummy stuff, don't go overboard. Just remember that it isn't a quick fix. Every 2-3 weeks I change my goals a little, try something…

I'm not going to judge. I hope that your diet is managed by your physician since i know that there are medically supervised weight loss programs that target 500 calories a day. I did that once and lost 100 pounds. However, I do want to say that in the end, keeping it off was very difficult because transitioning from 500…

I agree with this...Each person has to figure out what works for them. Some people experience great results with just diet and exercise. Some need a little medical intervention. Some have to have intervention for quality of life and health. You have already dealt with the effects fo being overweight, I pray that you will…

Well, this week is a zero loss for me. Hopefully next weeks weigh in will get me to my goal...drinking lots of water :)

That is how I did it the first time too. SO Keep it up. My advice to you is make sure you engrain exercise really good into your program because it will be very important in being able to keep the weight off after your done. I didn't do that and paid a big price :)

Well, Legacysh is a username I've had on the web for a long time. It's just easy to use. Legacy stands for Historical data (I'm a computer geek at work) and SH used to be my initials before I was divorced. My other username is Singing4shoes, which really suits me better, but I didn't use it here. Legacysh is gender nuetral…

Well, The first time I lost 100 lbs in 6 months, the skin did really well. The key was to make sure that I stayed hydrated and exercised all the time. Other than my tummy, everything was pretty good. Tummies after pregnancy just have their own difficulites. The 2nd time I lost that amount (the last time) I wasn't able to…

That is a huge victory. What a wonderful thing to have happen to you!

Welcome and I wish you much success and some fun on the side. Its a great place with inspiring people and great support. And its easy to use!

You deserve a standing ovation! What a huge success for you! Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful Success story!

Actually for me? A nice smooth back with no fat rolls. No kind of muffin top at all in my jeans! I'm getting there, but still got a little to go.

It's these little changes that will carry you to your goal! Great job!

If you want someone who will walk beside you on this journey, and not chastise you for doing it wrong or poorly, but will cheer for you when you do it right and consistent, then add me as a friend. I offer my support and friendship to those who are trying. I do not expect perfection, just effort! Good luck with your…

I LOVED THIS...Good for you for recognizing that you have made some improvements in your life through this. Yes a little embarrassing, but a nice way to realize how much this whole thing can effect all the parts of your life!

Im Death D Moana! Im Fierce and crazy as hell on wheels. Just dont bump me cause Lord knows I'll go flying! It wont be pretty :huh:

Girl, You are so on the mark. That is what I try to say to everyone when they are tough on themselves. Stay the course. Eventually your body comes along for the ride! I have done this weight loss thing for more than I ever wanted too. But If you stop because you feel defeated, then game over. Thanks for the pep talk and I…

That is my goal too. Congrats and I know you will reach your other goal! Awesome work and I hope you feel fabulou!

Thanks for this article. I am a busy person who generally does not spend my day cleaning house, so it is not in my daily activities. Rather I power clean about every other weekend (Its just me and my man at home anyway). I do count those calories burned cause I work up a sweat cleaning three stories in 2 hours. So when I…

Funny, I could not eat seafood (regular fish would be iffy) I could eat cheese.

I have to say that I love that you posted this. Yes its a horrible thing, and for those that have it happen, its niether pretty or comfortable. There are so many options these days, but yoga shorts are good and dont ride up in the legs.

Your doing great. Awesome progress!

A Big class of water and some chewing gum. A good book or a nice long soak in the tub. Something to redirect my hunger into something else that soothes me.

Oh and he is Candy, I'm Montana!

I played along with my husband: Hello we are Montana and Candy Glitterhorn... Nice to meet ya'll!:blushing:
