BMI does not take into account bone and muscle mass so it's not the best formula to base your goal weight on. Ideally one should look at the healthy range of body fat and aim for that number and not be so hung up on the number on the scale. My goal weight was 118 and while I hit that weight, I look better today at 122 with…

You start mixing in the juices and the calories go up over 200+ per cocktail. and you never know at the bar what the ratio is because you are not able to measure it yourself

vodka with club soda and a squeez of lime. Roughly 100cals +/-

I second that!!!!! :-)

you either say "who cares" for that day and enjoy the cake or you stay away from it all together. I let me birthday pass 2 years in a row without any special treats and it wasn't so bad. Tell your friends to stop offering cake and buy you chicken instead! :-)

Eat clean and healthy and exercise. you cannot spot reduce so you must do weight training for your entire body and also plenty of cardio.

Go see your doctor!

Oh and I forgot to mention this one before.... MY WEDDING DRESS FROM 12 YEARS AGO IS TOO BIG ON ME!!!!!!

I eat mine plain every morning and I love it. I tried it with splenda or cinnamon and was really turned off by it. I'm not into lots of flavory stuff. My mom adds fresh fruit to hers sometimes

I eat 2 cups of green beans and 3 cups of green leaf lettuce EVERY day! greens are so important.

I would get a bodybugg. That's what I used and it was way better than any of the polar HRM

Losing weight is fun !!!! :-)

Having my kids start seeing the muscle definition and ask about learning to exercise :-) Bikini season :-) Tossing out the fat clothes and buying cute and sexy clothes :-) Having more energy :-) No more aches and pains :-) Sleeping better :-) The list goes on and on!

That's awesome! :-)

Raw...sushi! YAY!

55lb with both kids. Ate everything in site and loved every minute of it!

Yes ma'am and thank you! I weighed 199lbs when I gave birth to EACH or my kids! Twice in my life I was that big!

Please tell me you are not serious in asking this question. I know weight loss is something all of us are working hard at and we need suggestions and support for others but really????? REALLY????

Eat In as often as you can but when you eat out, pick a healthier place and look at the menu the day before and pick out your meal in advance based on the nutritional info that most places provide on their website. If you are going to a sandwich place for example, cut out the cheese and mayo and opt for a lean meat,…

ROFLMAO - Thanks! I did change my picture though just so people can see my face since I got slightly slapped on the hand for asking the questions and having a profile pic without a face! I was actually talking about people who had no picture at all but whatever....lol

Who doesn't love Erin Stern! :-)

Well it's better than being a dumb-*kitten* I suppose! lol Happy Awesome hunting! :-)

Any activity is better than no activity! I sometimes do this when I am restless but I've already done my training and cardio for the day....lol Make sure you get the correct size ball for your height! Happy bouncing!

Well first of all...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! As for losing weight, you need to take in less calories and burn more. Start a meal journal to keep track of what you are eating. This will make you think twice about what actually gets put into your body. Start looking at labels and learn portion sizes. The big one is to move more,…

No crush or flirting here

I like it!

LOL - That's so awesome! Thanks for the laugh :-)

True but I have several photos in my profile that show my face :-)

I just think it's more pleasant to put a face with the name/username I don't get creeped out or anything

I happen to not agree with most of the responses. I don't think it's ok if you are making a lifestyle change. Fast food is the last thing you should be eating. If you are strictly going for weight loss, calories in and calories out and the amount contained in the food fits into your daily budget then go for it but if it's…
