I have been told that while dieting and exercise, that if you are craving a slice (notice I said slice and not a whole pie) of pizza or a burger, just eat it, but try to make it as healthy as it can be. This advice came from my trainer while I was loosing all of my weight. I can tell you, if you stick to moderation and…

Hello Heidi, I both have been and going through the same struggle again, both while suffering with PTSD, which developed over an incident where I work. Having a dark cloud loom over you while you are going through this is not easy. Like i said, I have made this journey once before, losing 115 pounds. But, because of an…

I have heard it said the skinny people do not know the struggle that an overweight person goes through, it is a physical and emotional fight day in and day out. The difference between a person who was skinny their whole life and someone who was overweight and lost it, is the once overweight person is stronger, mentally and…

One thing that I have found that it is harder to do a workout if you do not have a pre-set routine. It becomes discouraging when you get to the gym and you are not sure what the best routine is to do. Me, if I do not have a routine, I find myself on the elliptical and "ab machines". A partner does help, because you can…

I see you posted this in February, but I am now in the same boat. I was right on track and lost 115 lbs but then I injured my shoulder. This was back in October, now it is June and a lot of my new clothes back then are hanging in the closet because they do not fit anymore. I know I can do it, but I know it will be harder…

I am not sure if that truly answers your question, but essentally, tea is flavored water, which I assume would be the same…

You are correct, those who are only looking to loose 20 lbs or the 5 lbs of vanity weight have no clue the struggles that we have to go through to get healthy. Usually the decision to get healthy is made because of a health issue that pos up sometime in our lives, whether it be a failing kidney, liver, diabetes, high blood…

Like "alk", I am doing my own program of training, but running has become a big part of it. My ecouragement is that it can be done! I went from running a 7 minute mile in the Marine Corps to not running at all due to injuries and that is when I shot up over 300. Now I am running 4 + miles and averaging 9:30 to 9:40 a mile.…

Good job Mr_ABC_aka_JO. My first 40 lbs lost was on eating habits alone. Which shows that there is something to the statistic that it is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise.

Hello to all! My starting weight was 301 on September 24, 2012. That was my wake up call because my doctor showed me my lab results, cholesterol over 300, liver and kidney functions decreased and I was one step away from type two diabetes. I have never been successful in the past because of my injuries - I was in the…
