  • muscle weighs more than fat.....are your measurements changing for the good? Then it's an okay thing.....
  • Love them! White chocolate-Raspberry, chocolate brownie, banana nut, coconut cashew, vanilla almond crunch, cookies and cream. Those are the best in my mind....
  • Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of which, you must be blind.
  • Think of all you LEARNED from those 4 years as opposed to 4 years wasted. The reason he left doesn't matter, as people have stated--you already lost a lot of weight by losing him. Sounds like he was all about control; and now you have control.....so...it's your choice: you take control and get back in control of YOUR life;…
  • you are starving yourself, and your body is trying desperately to hold onto what it can......according to the BMR calculator someone referenced earlier, your resting energy expenditure is 1494 calories, add in little to no exercise and it's 1792 (takes energy just to live, walk around, etc). add in light exercise (1-3…
  • You'll find that once you start exercising (however you do it: walking, gym, weights, etc), you will start to feel better all around---and that will be your motivation....
  • How long do you walk? your calories may be putting you into a hibernation mode as your body may think it's being starved. Even low carb won't help that. You have to be very honest with what you are eating and log it in; as hard as that may be. An ounce of almonds twice a day adds up quickly. I found that by logging in the…
  • seriously? He's not very respectful of you, he only looks at you for your body, not your mind. Not someone who is worth staying around for....
  • Protein powders are not all alike. Check out this website for information on how they are different: http://www.nutritionexpress.com/article+index/authors/mark+g+taylor+ms/showarticle.aspx?articleid=896
  • So, how do you know you are low on potassium?
  • Try drinking more fluids and ensure you are hydrated prior to the workout.
  • I would hire a personal trainer and work on strength training. Working night shift isn't helping you as your circadian rhythms are a bit off because you have to rearrange them when you work nights, then come off nights for a few days, then go back to nights. Keep up everything else you are doing, but go to a good gym and…
  • You eat a lot of processed foods, a ton of salt, and not much in the way of vegetables and fruit; not to mention way too much take-out. burgers and fries don't help you at all, regardless of how much exercise you are doing (which--"big girl" or not...seems way off base for calories utilized). Eat more home-made food, less…

  • Seriously? You are at a healthy weight; if you want to tone a bit then start to lift weights to improve your appearance, but 148 lbs at 5 foot 7 is NOT overweight.
  • I used to run routinely, do calisthenics, but didn't seem to drop much or would drop some pounds, then gain them back for unclear reasons to myself. I started using a personal trainer in January; 4 months later, down 12 lbs (11.6 of that is fat), gaining muscle, lost 9 inches in total. I do cardio on my own (2 to 4 x…
  • Key word is: Why? Sounds gross to me.....I just ate nearly 3000 calories but that's because I was on the Muir Snowfield for 5 hours using 3000 calories in 5 hours....and I ate healthy items....
