You need to put your big girl panties on and make a decision........Am I going to stay fat and unhappy or am I going to do something about it? Are you being treated for your depression and anxiety? If you aren't then maybe you need to get on something to start to get you evened out some. I'm on a med and it helps keep me…

Good lord 600/day no, that is not the way to do it. Even 1200 is probably too low unless you don't care about doing it in a healthy manner. If you just want to lose weight at all costs then go for it but to do it in a healthy manner you need to first know what your TDEE then cut that by 15-20%.
-
This. And also I don't think it matters when you run because my personal trainer has me do a run for a warm up sometimes before we have our session or as a cool down afterwards so..... How you track your burn depends on how you have your calorie goal set up. Me, I have my activity calculated into my daily calorie goal so I…

If I really looked like I was lost I would appreciate the help. Most people have no clue what they are doing and are too afraid to ask for help and then quit. I think that goes double for many overweight women.
-
Well, you may be getting accuracy as far as the amount your loosing but not as far as what your true weight is. To get an accurate number of your weight you need to weigh yourself when you get up after having your morning bathroom trip(trying not to be graphic). This will give you your true weight.
-
There is nothing you can do if he doesn't want to help himself. It's all on him. You could try some tough love and next time he goes on about wanting to lose weight you can point blank tell him he's full of ****. Tell him everything you've ever suggested he poo poos and won't get off his *kitten*. You could also tell him…

Yes, if all you are doing is cardio and eating at a deficit to lose weight you will lose muscle. You need to incorporate strength training too. In the end you will have lost the weight but you will have no muscle mass or strength.
-
You should try to eat something within a couple hours. My trainer says within an hour of waking but I don't even do that. I can't eat for a couple hrs after getting up but you definitely shouldn't wait until noon to eat. You need to be consistent with giving your body food. If you have dinner at say 7pm and you don't eat…

If I am between sets and just taking my rest I'm ok with chatting a little and if that led to something more then that's ok. I think that's the way to do it. I too would much prefer to meet someone at the gym then at a bar. I'm still a a little overweight so I'm not expecting anyone to be checking me out at the gym unless…
-
Don't do it. That' all the info you need. I have a friend that did it and while in the hospital she said and quote...."do anything you have to do to avoid this surgery!" She's had hair loss due to the lack of protein even though she's drinking the protein shakes multiple times a day like she's supposed to, she still gets…
-
Are you really telling him to go away or only half heartedly? Are you like......'giggle', oh go away. Or are you "LEAVE ME ALONE TILL I'M DONE" OR "NOW WHAT?, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING HERE...GO DO YOUR THING" Or maybe you could find a middle ground of agreeing to take a break at a specific time where you two can chat…
-
Maybe it's where you work out. My trainer has me doing deadlifts. Nothing odd about them at all. I keep hearing from people that they are a great exercise. Keep on keeping on....and be that fabulous weight lifting female that the others will look at and envy.
-
If I didn't know better I would think that you are my trainer, lol. This is exactly what he keeps saying. It's been hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of not counting and just eating really healthy without throwing in my sweets on an almost daily basis.(I also have a huge sweet tooth). Thanks for sharing an…
-
Why would you do that????? Do you have some medical condition that says you can only eat vegetables?? Any "diet" is ridiculous. Yes, many people do stupid things and lose weight but it doesn't mean that it's healthy or the right way to do it. Your body need protein and without it all you're going to do is lose muscle while…
-
You're body needs fuel to be active if you aren't giving it enough it won't let go of what it has. 1.5lbs a week is Fabulous! Normal is 1lb/week Question----do you want to lose weight fast or the healthy way? Because trying to lose 4lbs a week is not healthy. Your body isn't getting the fuel it needs to continue being as…
-
I still have weight to lose but my trainer has me doing both. Some days it's more reps, and others it's higher weight. I get the impression that it's good to do both.
-
You apparently haven't grasped the concept that our bodies can flucuated several lbs/kgs on any given day. It's normal, it doesn't mean you ate too much so you either have to educated yourself more and stop obsessing and get a grip or stop weighing yourself on a daily basis. This is not anything out of the ordinary....this…
-
Do whatever you want. There's no right or wrong to activity. If you're achieving your goals it doesn't matter what the rest of us do. If you want to see how many calories you are buring then log it, if you don't care then don't. A 20min walk like you said isn't going to make or break anything if you are doing other more…
-
Fabulous ideas! Thanks everyone! I'd totally forgotten that I have made them with EVOO, rosemary and garlic. Adding Parm sounds wonderful. Looking forward to tonights dinner!
-
Nope! You're first few sessions are going to be hell. I've been with a PT since the end of March and I am still sore after workouts. Some more then others depending on how intense it is. It gets better but if you have a good work outPT where they are pushing you to your potential you are going to be sore. I'm still walking…

Yoplait frozen yogurt bars. They have several flavors. Mine fav is caramel. So creamy and rich. 80-90cals.

Where did you find this tid bit of info? Perhaps it's that once they started to use fire they were able to cook meat and got the needed protein in their diet. It's widely known that raw veggies are more nutritious than cooked.
-
It's not that they are unnutritional it's because of the carb content. If someone is wanting to lower their carb intake they are not the best thing to be eating.
-
I have the exact same situation. Just a few that will comment. I'm at the same stats and same goal. Friend request sent.

Squats would be strenght training which is good and I would suggest it. Make sure you look at some videos so you get the proper form. Form is very important. You need to stick your butt out like you're going to sit down. Body resistence squats are a great way to start. Edit. Any actvity is going to burn calories. Cardio…

Well, if you aren't really eating at a deficit and may be closer to maintenance then you may have actually gained some muscle but lost the fat hence the loss of inches. Or, it could be just bloating. How's your sodium intake? However, overall if you are losing inches and your body is changing you are on the right track and…
-
Unfortunately, this time I have to say you're fooling yourself. Now if you had decided to do a deep cleaning of your whole house, I'd say that could be used as true activity but just your everyday grocery shopping....sorry that's a no go.
-
Any activity that you do while eating at a deficit will help you lose weight. Weight lifting will help you gain muscle which burns more calories while resting. Sure, you can just weight lift. You can start out at home with body weight exercises and weighted objects but to truly get the most out of weight lifting you have…

Well, the first problem is that you are looking at the change as a "diet". Why can't you make life-long changes? If you can do restriction diets for 3mos then you can definitely make smaller consistant changes that you can hold on to for a longer time. Making lifestyle eating changes doesn't mean you have to deny yourself…
