  • Yes we have one. We are growing, tomoatoes, carrots, squash, purple bell peppers, habanero peppers, stevia, mint, parsley, basil, cilantro, onion. We have two rasied beds. I can't wait!
  • Just to repeat what others have said... Send it back. You don't even know what you are taking. You can do this! You can I promise. Log everyday, get on the community everyday, read about health and wellness and it will keep you focused.
  • Firstly I'm sorry for all you've been through. Next, you have to take your life back for you. If you want to lose 10 lbs, you have to make the commitment to do it. It 100% can be done and the best part is after you start, it becomes like a habit. You can do this, believe in yourself, start slow and make small changes. Then…
  • I'm sorry but I highly doubt that eating an apple as a snack will slow down weight loss. Even a cookie won't do it if it's in my calories, especially in my carb and sugar limitations. Thanks, but I doubt this is the problem. As for where breakfast is concerned, why would eating an omelette or bacon be any different to…
  • Dang me for having a life and not getting on here and missing all the good stuff. I hate me right now... :sad:
  • In for the promise of nudity.
  • From my limited experience, it's a process. Some weeks are better than others. What I have learned is not to trust just the scale and keep at it. I would up my workouts or add intensity. Keep eating and logging and see if that helps. Sometimes the scales take a little more time to reflect the progress we are making.
  • I think it's trial and error. When I first started I was eating really boring food and just made do. Do some research, try different things, push yourself. You have to make time to workout. Do it for you. I count my workout time as my time and nobody, and I mean nobody bothers me during me time!
  • Maybe you are over doing it. Do you take rest days? Do you log your food?
  • You need to fuel your body if you are working out. Please eat more and log everything. A week is not long enough to see a change. Wait a few days. Your body is getting used to the changes and most likely you are retaining some water. The scale is a heartbreaker. Take measurements and pictures. Take it slow. Don't over…
  • That's awesome! Keep at it. You will surprise yourself and how much more you can do a few weeks down the road. Listen to your body so that you don't get an injury and keep going!
  • You can do this lady! I'm not new I guess anymore, started in March of this year. Feel free to add me! I'm on everyday!
  • Well I joined over a year ago and only logged for about a week. Came back March of this year and I'm in it to win it...
  • I think it's been harder on the kids but they are getting used it. We are putting up our pool this year so I told them either cable or the pool... I'm glad they picked the pool!
  • We shut ours off too. It can be a time waster I think. Now we are all much more active. All those hours of chilling on the couch add up!
  • Do you log your food intake? How much are you needing to lose, just the 15? A week and 1/2 is not enough time for your body to adjust.
  • You have to make the time. If you want it bad enough, you'll find the time. I used to think that if I didn't get up and workout in the morning, I had to skip it. Now I do mostly evening workouts. I cut out TV and bam, 2 -3 hours of time I could workout. I don't make excuses anymore, I just get it done.
  • I think it gets easier. The first 10lbs came off so fast and then everything kinda stalled a bit. I got serious and made the decision to do this. Just for me! I still have days where I think , this is going to take forever and you know what, it is because it's my life now, not a fad. Chin up, suck it up and go for it! Find…
  • Log it first. If you think he is going to bring home beer, work it into your calories before you drink it. If I log it first, it makes me more mindful of what I'm eating or drinking. Sorry about your foot! That stinks! Cheers!

  • Do not let people ruin this for you! They don't matter, you do. I refuse to let anyone ruin the hard work I've put into this. I'm a different person than I was just a few short months ago. I'm happier, fitter and no longer obese! Celebrate your wins! You are awesome!
  • I like you! My motivation- BEER

  • The body converts it to fat? Do you have a link I could read?

  • I had to cut back. Now I work it into my calories for the day. Sometimes it fits and sometimes it doesn't. I do notice a difference when I haven't drank for awhile around retaining water. Other than that, I don't think it matters as long as you remain at a defict. Sometimes that extra 20 minutes is so I can drink! :drinker:

  • I don't think we can tell you. It's not that simple. Everyone is different. Log your food, eat within your calorie range. Go for a walk, drink a ton of water, focus on something else. If I think I'm hungry but I've had all my calories, I will drink a whole bottle of water and do something else. If I'm still hungry, I'll…
  • I love this! This is so true... I'm not sure why I thought if I weighed less, life would suddenly be a fantastic place... I had to discover that first then focus on losing weight!
  • Stress is apart of life so the best thing to do is learn how to cope. When I'm stressed or get down in the dumps about how long this is taking, I log on here and go to the success stories! If I want junk food, I drink water or take a walk. If I still want it, I eat it, but I only eat a little bit. Then I up my exercise for…
  • You may not be eating as few calories as you think to put you at a defict. Do you track your food? If you don't, you should. It was a real eye opener for me when I started tracking my food. I was eating a good deal more than what I should have been. Once I started logging and being honest about my food and drink…
  • I'm not saying that you don't have the right shoes, but from experience, the wrong ones will do real damage. It's best to get fitted for shoes that fit your running style.
  • Stop weighing everyday. Don't starve yourself. Yes, you can run that extra 5 min. Yes you have to log everything. You have to have rest days. Forgive yourself.
