  • If you are accurately recording the food you eat and your exercise here at Myfitnesspal, you only need to see how many calories are in some of the foods and the quantity of exercise it takes to burn those calories, and you will have motivation to avoid those foods that temp you. Think of it this way; I just (fill in your…
    in How do you resist all the temptations?! Comment by CSassWJE February 2013
  • Wow! I can't believe you all have been experiencing the same reactions that I have received. When I was overweight, people would make comments. Now that I've lost weight, then ask if I've been ill; if I am having difficulty with stress; they tell me that I'm too thin (I'm not. I happen to be at the exact weight my doctor…

  • I'm no expert, but I can tell you my own experience. When I started exercising, I was walking 30 minutes per day. The exercise, in addition to eating properly, caused me to lose a few pounds. I then gradually increased my exercise routine to include up to one hour of walking/running per day five to six days a week, and two…

I haven't been treated rudely here, but I have…
    in This site should not be about weight loss bullies ! Comment by CSassWJE January 2013
  • Well, happily, people have noticed that I have lost weight, but the biggest surprise is that some people ask if I have been ill, or if I lost weight because of stress in my life. That was surprising. I only lost 35 pounds and I am down to 180, so I wonder why people would assume that I have been ill. And relative to…
    in What is the biggest unexpected surprise after losing weight? Comment by CSassWJE January 2013
  • Walking. In December of 2011, I began walking in addition to eating better. I weighed 214 pounds. I was then 50 years old. When I started, I would get winded walking for fifteen minutes. I increased my distance incrementally each day (at the time I was counting steps). I walked every day. Now I walk at least one hour every…
