Bend your knees, put your feet flat on the floor and lift your head and as much of your body as possible, dont worry about sitting all the way up for couple weeks. If you have to put your feet under the edge of the chair or couch if your top heavy.

I have a degree in Physical Education, was the Physical Director at the YMCA in Savannah Georgia many years ago. You can lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. Think of it as useing the fat as energy to build muscle. A lb of body fat has 3500 calories, a pound of muscle about 600 calories if I remember right. Lets…

I hit a plateau, had lost 70 lbs, was not eating exercise calories and my goal was 2 lb week weight loss and was even under maintance on that, just lowered my goal to l lb week and finding it hard to eat enough calories, and weight is starting to drop again.

I notice if I am hungary I am eathing to many carbs, so I cut back on the carbs and dont seem to be hungary any more.

I some times have a half cup of low fat icecream 3 times a day, like light and Fit vanilla yogurt on my millville ceral for breakfast.

Unless you are obese I am starting to think perhaps you should not go more then 20 percent under the calories you need for maintance, including for exercise.

I lowered mine, goal was 220, now its 180.

I weight myself every day.

Take a look at the article below. The best…

After I lost about 40 lbs. and three to 4 months, now I look forward to it. I use a treadmill mostly and I have a Kindle where I can chance the size of the print and read at the same time. Makes the time pass a lot faster, I usually save my favorite book at the time and just read it on the treadmill. I listen to books on…

According to some research people on diets that drank two glasses of water befor each meal lost 1/3rd more weight then people did not drink water befor meals.

Have hit the same problem, I have decided to decrease my weight loss goal from two pounds a week to one pound a week.

Theres about 3500 calories in a pound of fat and the same :drinker: six pounds of muscle. I doubt if you are loseing muscle, the initial weight loss means you are bloated, mainly fluids. Its natural to lose a lot of weight the first few days as your system cleans it self out and is not so backed up. MFP will give you the…

Phentermine works by suppressing the appetite, and it may also increase the metabolism.

Cornbeef and cabbage, and spice up the cabbage a little, almost no carbs but filling. Strawberries are good.

I weight my self ever morning an write it down on a page tacked to the back of the bathroom closet door.

I use egg beaters, only 30 cal per egg and I usually make omlets or french toast any way. My favorite is cornbeef and cabbage, 4 ounces of corn beef and 8 ounces of cabbage is only 233 calories, and 13 carbs and half those carbs are dietary fiber.

I almost never eat the calories I gain because of exercise. I am just not that hungary.

I had the same problem, took Polyethylene Glycol called soomthlax at Walgreens. I also took Malox and went on bland diet for while till it cleared up. Sounds like your having a problem with Diverticulosis or Diverticulitis. More fiber will prob help. I am not a doctor so my opinion is free and prob worth what you are…
