Thanks, sometimes it's a mixture of running, weights, stretching... and I just don't know what to record it as. Another question: I'm a college student and walk to class... Can I count my walking to class as part of my exercise each day? I work out in the gym as well, but was just wondering if I should record walking to…

I love peanut butter. I used to love making toast and putting LOADS of peanut butter on it and when I was eating terribly I could eat 4 pieces and not even realize it till I was done. I love peanut butter... I've tried the whole dieting before and cut it out completely and failed. So now during my LIFE change I am eating…

How do you indivduals track the videos you complete? For example I have the Biggest Loser DVDs and don't know how many calories I'm burning... Any tips? Thanks in advance. :happy:

Thank you for the advice. And this is a life change... not just a quick fix, atleast that's how I feel! :smile: I'll try biking more often and maybe yoga!

I have knee problems and I just dread working out. I hate it and don't want to do it. I know, I sound so negative, but I'm in too much pain and there truly isn't too much I can do about... I've tryed everything. I need surgery but the sucess rate is only 30% and not worth spending the money if it may not work... *Any ideas…

Ohhh damn. I was hoping with dropping some weight they would diminish... I use Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Lotion and love it... it's amazing! : ) I also take vitamin E pills and it's working... slowly.

This is correct. MFP takes your BMR and subtracts the correct amount to drop 1-2 pounds a week. They are already determining the calories you need to eat to drop weight and by not eating exercise calories your body with hold onto fat to survive and actually begin eating away at muscle... Please eat your exercise calories.

Congrats Babe! I'm working on dropping baby weight as well... : ) It's hard, but aren't those results worth it? Any cure for those stretch marks... Haha? Does dropping weight seem to help diminsh them at all? I'm praying it does, hehe.

I just looked up the ending... just to know what happens and you are right. It's sad and could be very hard for a Mother to see. : (

Apples and Cinnamon Oatmeal Apple Fruit Leather Grapefruit Tangerine Fuze : )

Are you on the pink patch?

You will drop weight, but it wont stay off... as soon as you return to your old eating habits the weight will come right back on if not more... I used to have an eating disorder and I have seen the results of people doing this, it's not healthy, and not attractive... you will drop lean muscle, not fat. Be careful and keep…

I complete Cardio Max and Power Sculpt... I was sore the next day and loved it. I love when I can feel that my work out is working. : )

Haha, thanks! I still eat healthy tomorrow... but might have that piece of cheesecake! Thanks everyone. Happy Easter... and talk to you soon.

Haha, thanks. I used to tend to do that as well... I could barely make it a week thought. I'd down 5 candy bars faster than anyone, ha.

Is it alright to take days off? Treat yourself every once in awhile and get right back on track the next day? My Parents paid for this expensive Easter dinner, $60.00 per person at an Easter brunch buffet? I don't want to waste their money and just eat salad and soup... is it alright to eat as healthy as possible, but…

It could be water weight, it could that you have lost weight but gained some muscle... I agree that you should measure. : ) Stay positive and keep up the great work.

Congrats!! I can't wait to get into the 70s again as well... I've tried dieting so many times before, but this time I'm completely motivated after seeing how much I have truly let myself go... started my complete life change on Monday and went from 187 to 183! I know some is water weight, but I feel amazing. : )

I have a problem with being really hungry at night. I don't get to bed late because I'm in college and people are always drunk and loud in my apartment. : ( And even though I want to sleep... I just lay in bed. I have sleeping medication, but am all out and waiting to go home and get it renewed.... What can I do to stop…

1. Lose weight slowly Skin has remarkable powers of elasticity and yet it does not snap back instantly into shape if you lose a lot of weight quickly - anyone who has ever had a baby will tell you that one for free! The more gradually you lose weight the easier it is for your skin to keep pace with your new shape. You…

Oh, thank you. I didn't know if I could search for a thread that was already discussed.

I'm worried about losing all of my weight, reaching my goal weight, and then having horribly loose skin! I want to lose weight and still feel good in a bikini and feel good naked... Anyone have experiences with loose skin, advice to prevent it, or anyone else have this fear? Thank you.

Nothing will get rid of them, that's a scientific fact... sadly. I have some on my hips, inner thighs and side of stomach due to pregnancy. : ( I do take vitamin e, use cocoa butter lotion, and tan... tanning seems to minimize the appearance. I use jergens natural glow...

I'm on medication everyone and going through therapy. : ) I have been through it all... drugs, sex addiction, alcohol abuse, trying to kill myself, cutting, rape... everything and I have had plenty of interventions and drugs! Haha. And even though I'm not medication and seeing a therapist, it's still hard to go each day…

I don't know if I want to forgive myself... ya know? I feel like what I did was right so I have nothing to forgive, does that make sense?

But then how are you dropping weight if you eat extra when you work out? I added you. : )

I have always been told to eat my allowed calories and work out. This website says I get extra calories for working out? I guess I don't understand how that could work... I want to work out to drop the calories I do eat to drop weight... Right? I guess I'm just confused why this website does that.

Awww. thank you! I have contact with my child at least monthly and one day my Boyfriend and I will see her again! : ) I can't wait, she's soo beautiful.

I don't think that the trainers would let them drop that much weight even though it's a show and a challenge... if it wasn't healthy, ya know? At least I hope not. I love this show and I believe they are doing it the healthy way, anyone can drop a lot of weight if all you do is workout, ya know!
