St.Marys Ontario for me ! Just moved here in July 2012 from Renfrew Ontario. Lived in Renfrew for 12 years,lived in Smiths falls, Belleveille,Kingston and was born and raised in Ottawa. still need to loose 25 pounds….. finding this more than frustrating the past 3 months as I hit a plateau and feeling stuck !! I am…

very well done…. Congrats for sticking it out even when it got tough. That's when it becomes even more important to be strong… adapt and over come the hard parts… we can all do it and get great results!!

can you open up your food diary so we can see it and then maybe we can see where the trouble is if it is food related. Are you drinking enough water to help flush out the system. You could be eating to much processed food which is very high in sodium and that can make you retain water big time. Are you eating enough…

I looked at your diary and see a lot of the same foods pretty much daily… drop the amount of processed meats you are eating and add some more veggies, fruits and even some whole grains and eggs. What about yogurt and or cheese or peanut butter. Having allergies and intolerances makes it harder but too much processed meats…

I too have a WW scale and have the same issue it can vary from 1-2 lbs…. I usually get on and off 3 -5 times and take the number that pops up the most. I have never owned a set of scales that weigh the same time every time… I too am interested in seeing what the verdict is on this one !

I agree with Jim..avoid anything from take out joints way too much sodium and that will show on the scales for a day or 2 after you consume it.

We just said that about our elliptical we just bought !! Took hubby and step son everything in their power to take it down the stairs ..it came is a huge box which they took apart and carried down separately but the power house and foot pedals was just crazy heavy…they said if we ever move it stays in the basement along…

Try not to focus on the amount your husband is loosing…men loose it faster than we woman because they have more muscle and muscle burns fat !!! I have this same trouble when dieting with my husband it becomes frustrating because he looses double me . I started this journey again in Jan and have lost 9.5 lbs. It is slow but…

try googling your style of treadmill and they may have an online book for that model and may give you assembly information. and then reverse it for taking it apart.We have taken our nordic track apart but only take enough parts off to get it up/down the stairs.Best advice is to make a drawing of what you did and where…

Don't get so discouraged..9 lbs in 2 weeks is awesome… wether it be water or fat who knows… it all adds up in the final number at the end of your journey!! I lost 30 lbs last summer and no one noticed until I lost 25 lbs..then people would ask did you loose weight? I too am just over 5' and had 50 lbs to loose. Yet other…

Hello and welcome from St. Marys Ontario… hubby and I just moved here at the end of July 2012 from Renfrew ,Ontario Canada. I was born and raised in Ottawa…. i have been on here for about a month now and love it !!! The people are friendly and so supportive!! If anyone needs another supportive friend you can always add me…

I love my food scales …. I need it for accuracy …. it is all about portion size if you want to loose weight. I weigh things such as potatoes, meats, nuts. (anything that is in grams or ounces) it is easy when you get used to doing it….it becomes second nature eventually. I go by the product it self..if it says 1…

Hi laceelee: I like cutie oranges, bananas, and apples. Then if I want something Crispy I go for 1 oz of cashews or pretzels, special K crisps (sour cream and onion flavour) or the slim fast peanut butter crisp bars 100 calorie bar. On a warmer night when the temperature is above 0* C I enjoy a frozen banana pureed in my…

Here is what I found while researching protein maybe this will help you: "As a general guideline, the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein for adults is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day." try this and see if it helps … as you continue to loose you will have to recalculate this amount. The best of…

I hear your pain..it is beyond frustrating to work so hard and see nothing..or not what your brain thinks it should be…it will come off …. please give it more time…your body is still adjusting to all this new "ROUTINE" good food versus what you had been eating and now exercise too..your body needs time to get used to it..…

Hmm…interesting…. I am wondering if your calorie intake and or fat intake has decreased too much especially with the amount of work outs you are doing that it is altering your cycles. I had a similar situation when I tried a weight loss program when I was in my late 20's that had me on 500 calories a day, they removed most…

i am new here, how do you send requests? i would love to be a part of this support group but have no idea how to send request or to add someone who wants to be added ? Thanks in advance for your help on this one!! Stubbynose :wink:

Great idea about weighing sugar or dumb bells…then you will know for sure…if it is off you will know by how much. Change the batteries for sure….who knows how long that scale has been sitting on the shelf…..IF it is off don't stress out about it , you are only using the scales to see how much you have lost, as long as you…
