I have been losing weight / maintaining for one year 9 months. During this time the light bulb came on and Ive realized that what I am doing has nothing to do with weight loss each day. My goal each day is to eat less and exercise which is my prescription for maintenance therefore I am practicing maintenance each day and…

Repeat, repeat, repeat....this is how we do it (exercise and journaling)!

I try to do as many different kinds of classes and exercise as possible. Im not looking for any one particular exercise to love but home that I will not get bored. Zumba has been growing on me. At first I felt like I was stumbling all over but now I'm getting the routine down. Tonight's class is a kick boxing class right…

I recently participated in two zumba classes. I am trying to do something different so my physical activity doesn't get boring. The first class was a kick so I was motivated to attend the second classes 2 days later. From the moment I entered the door of the second class I heard voices in my head saying "what are you doing…

1..derland (awwwwwww), that has to feel so good and others that are reaching 100 lb goals. Seriously, this group has got it going on. :blushing: Nothing feels better than s u c c es s! Weight-loss goals can mean the difference between success and failure. Realistic, well-planned weight-loss goals keep you focused and…

Isnt that the truth! It's all about the journey but so impressed with the commitment! :glasses:

I was thinking again, yes again! Alot of people talk about low fat or low carb diets. Below is information I found that answers some questions for me, maybe it will for you too. There have been a number of studies comparing weight loss with these two types of diets. In general, low-carb diets may result in a little more…

Sounds like your facing adversity. Yes, give yourself a pat on the back. It's not just about physical health, it's mental health too to take that time out of your day for yourself. I was thinking today :ohwell: [yes, thats me thinking], you cant give to others if you are so spent yourself. So take time out for yourself so…

Wow, that has got to feel so good. Thanks for being such an inspiration to all of us. It's a long road but we are all doing the right thing by getting on the scales with consistency, counting calories or fat grams or what ever it is that people like to do and reving up the exercise. All of those are key essentials. Size 14…

Positive thinking plays a significant role in your weight loss efforts. Perpetual negative thoughts can lead to self-defeating behaviors such as going off your diet, overeating and skipping your exercise routine. Positive thoughts, on the other hand, can increase your motivation and energy level. :bigsmile: Positive…

I've heard it said that 35% of the population that is prediabetic does not know they are prediabetic. If this group of the population knew they were prediabetic, they could be eating healthier and exercising to remove themselves from this prediabetic condition because diabetis is preventable. You are making a significant…

I woke up in the middle of the night last night with the nagging question of how much weight would I gain if I overate by 200 calories each day. Obviously I couldnt let the question go so I got up this morning and punched out the figures on a calculator. Results: 3500 calories = 1 lb Overeat by 200 calories for 365 days =…

I want to hit a "LIKE" button but I am on the wrong network. But anyways, like....like ... like!

Wow, every word you shared makes total sense! At least you are aware of what is going into your mouth, good - bad or other. The key is that you have awareness now whereas before you probably never did. Also, your weight loss shows you are doing something right. Not bad at all! Thank you for sharing.

Such a pretty girl. Life will be good to you if you are good to yourself. Your the first priority each and every day. Keep yourself focused, tracking your food and exercises. Make realistic choices each day, even if small. Keep your tennis shoes on your feet (not in your closet or under your bed) so your READY to go…

Haha, that first line "pants to big" made me think of that American Idol singer that sang "pants on ground, lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground" Well? that's whats going to happen if you keep on being a loser......pants will fall off and will be ON THE GROUND.

Lifestyle changes for weight management involves an on-going self-review process. This means “looking back” (at old habits or ways of thinking) and “looking forward” (to new approaches for lifestyle change). For many people, the “new” thinking is characterized by honest self-awareness, personal responsibility for behavior…

So many positive stories. I love the small stories that make for big successes. We dont always like to track our food or put that effort forward for physical activity but in the end is all about YOU. You are the one that makes it happen each and every day. You didnt have to do anything but you made the choice and you are…

297 BIG YEAH. I hope you are doing your happy dance. It sounds like you are very committed to this journey. I know alot of people struggle with getting into the gym because they are afraid of being judged however it sounds like you are not letting that be an obstacle for you. For many people, the “new” thinking that…

Something profound to even just say those words. It's reality, food is our best friend and our worst enemy. Keep tracking your food and weighing yourself throughout the week! You are of encouragement to me. A lapse is a temporary and small slip in your weight loss efforts. A relapse is a return to previous eating and…

HUGE success, I cant help but to think that your going down the right road. Remember small successes = big success. Give yourself a pat on the back each day you wake up and face your demons head on. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter…

Love-love-love to hear that your taking such positive step and MOVING! Take it easy so that injury doesnt set you back. I've been there and done that! Exercise improves mood Need an emotional lift? Or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A workout at the gym or a brisk 30-minute walk can help. Physical…

I agree, not only with the increasing caloric intake but maybe even eating with more consistentcy. Some people dont eat breakfast or eat small meals throughout the day which doesnt allow your metabolism to kick into gear. If your not eating small amounts throughout the day, your body starts to think that its going into…
