Hi. Change is scary - read that absorb it, scream about it, then embrace it. If you want to change you have to make scary decisions. You already made one, opening your heart to this site and these people and saying you are scared. Now on to the other things that need to happen. First off, friend me if you can - I have been…

It sounds to me like a compulsive eating disorder. There are some great books out there to help you gain control. It is very common. Try looking at that and see if this makes sense to you. If you fit the bill - then you have a direction to go to work on the issues and solve the problem. Also, make sure you are eating your…

Two steps forward one step back - you are still ahead. All of us have been there. Has to do with being a person! Congratulations on your success so far. Good Luck going forward. I hope you don't let one bad day - throw you back! Last night for dinner I had ho ho's and diet coke - I just needed it. Ok, so today I got back…

Hi. First off, WELCOME and good job in asking your questions and not just giving up. That is the sign of someone who is committed to being a better you! So, you have lost fat% but no weight - GREAT. What you are doing is working! Lets start out with basic physiology and biology. Muscle weighs more than fat - you are by far…

I ALWAYS have a variety of fruits and veggies available for my salad as well as protein options. Beans, eggs, whatever is in the fridge is fair game. If it is lettuve you are sick of, try quinoa, couscous, brown rice, etc - just don;t go overboard. Experiment while walking through the veggie aisle at your local supermarket…

Definately going to try these. Thanks for doing the work!!!

Go to Beachbody.com there are MANY videos on there. But buy on Amazon - used - save bucko bucks. I particularly like Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire. Incredible workouts with no added stuff needed. Good luck

Nothing is wrong with you. We did not get this way because we were motivated to do the things that were good for our bodies. I repeat what others have said, try something new and just do it, even if you don't want to. The weak give in, the strong say "I CAN". Congrats on remembering you are human!

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY - You must eat the minimum calories of 1200/day as your basal metabolic rate. This is the amount you need based on 500 LESS than what you would actually burn if you had a regular day - based on the info you plugged in when you set up your profile. This would give you a weight loss of 1 lb/week.…

I agree with the many who say keep doing what you are doing! I also add that if in 2 weeks you don't start feeling better you should see your doctor! No one here is medically qualified to treat you without seeing you and you have a relationship hopefully with your physician. They may have some aditional advice for you and…

Logging is a tool that you use on the journey to becoming healthy, So log. Then in the comment box at the bottom of the page make a notation - you can even do this the next day or a few days later that you threw up. Then it is just a note for yourself. Good Luck, and try to stop eating things that make you throw up! If it…

I think this all depends on your body and your goals and your life! I know that Cardio should be done at least 1/2 hour every day, so your running is fine. I also know that strength training should be done 3 - 4 times per week, with rests in between the same areas (ie do your arms and back one day, legs and core one day,…

I started exercising last January (2011) and on the 13th I broke my leg on the treadmill - I chose to do nothing for 3 months til I healed and had totally stalled. Got back on track totally on Nov 1, 2011. Three weeks later I slipped a disk in my back doing Yoga (and they said exercise was good for me?!?) Anyway, I decided…

Couple of things to keep in mind - Muscle weighs more than fat, and if you are burning all those calories and not giving yourself more fuel your body feel like it is starving and shuts off your metabolism. Jump start it by upping you calories - through lean protein and good grains and veggies and fruit - about 3/4 of your…

Ummmm, YUM. Gotta try this. Thanks
-
The definition of being human! Good recognizing it. And if you ever fall off the wagon, breathe and climb back on - tomorrow is another day and one bad day is not the end of the world as we know it!

If you are seriously asking, then you have choices: 1. Pizza is not bad for you if you eat 1 - 1 1/2 slices, not the whole freaking thing. 2. Don't forgo the cannolli - instead go for an extra exercise cycle - ie - do 40 minutes of Turbo Jam or cycling - will burn up the calories you just put in. If you deny yourself every…

They are great for portion control - but don't have everything so add a side salad and drink lots of extra water on the days you do eat them. Yes, they are processed, but this is a whole lifestyle change you are making and if it is not an easy transition you will likely quit, so start with small changes - portion control…

I have been doing this steadily now for 3 months and have only lost 7 pounds - very discouraging - however I have gone down two sizes in shirts and one in pants - how can that be if my scale and I are having a serious war - Muscle weighs much more than fat and I am gaining one and losing the other! I weigh in twice a week…

Celery - cause it takes more calories to eat it than you are taking in, and Hummus or cottage cheese! Protein and low fat!

Name: Wendy (wendysworld13) Current weight: 192 Goal Weight: In 90 days realistically 175 - eventually 150 In 90 days - I would like to be in 2 sizes smaller jeans and only eating half my exercise calories daily. Toned and able to walk ten minutes on stair master - (sado masochistic machine from HELL) without wanting to…

There are lots of theories and ideas abou weight, weight fluctuations, and weighing ones self - and believe me, I think I have heard them all. Your body fluctuates not only throughout the day, but througout the month - especially if you are a woman. The most logical advice came from a doctor who told me to weigh myself…
-
You have to feed your body, even through your burn. Your body has decided to go into starvation mode. Make sure you are eating every calorie alotted you because your body is saying FEED ME or I am saving what I've got. Give it one month and for GOD'S sake, stop geting on the scale every day. Once or twice a week max-…

Throw the scale away! Your other measurements are way better!!! Keep it up - there is a new life after being heavy. Congrats to you for finding it

First off, ;lets not talk DIEt - Diet is DIE with a T tacked on. Lets call it Life - and you need to live it. So, you fell off the wagon - get back on! When you first started to work out and change your eating was it always easy? It wasn't. It isn't. You just have to do it. And your MFP family is here to help. Look at some…

My partner and I met while I was on business in Florida - I live in NY. There were obstacles. Besides everything else it was imperative that my son get to meet her before I made any kind of commitment. We literally fell in love over the phone. We ge=ot to talk so much and if you don't think you learn about someone over the…

That is what this whole site is about. Consider it done - and get off your computer and start moving LOL!

First of all - do your crying - get rid of the emotions, and then put on your thnking cap. Losing weight is simply the using of more energy than you are consuming. Eating exactly what you are eating now you can lose 1 pound a week by moving 3500 extra calories - thats 500 a day! You have done this before. Make sure you are…

Chalene Johnson - Turbo Jam, has a standing ab workout as well as all of her workouts being for abs. Incredible workout that targets your abs throughout! Good luck - broke my tailbone about 30 years ago - I so feel your pain!

Its all about support. Good for you for having purpose behind your eating! Or choosing not to watch, however you want to put it. We all deserve a day or two off every now and again!
