  • I can only say what works for me... When I wake, cardio first thing, 30 mins. (I have a treadmill, so I usually use that, but I try to change it up too w/walking & running a few mins. here and there); my daughter, a personal trainer, has taught me to eat 6 healthy meals a day, watching portion control, heavier carbs and…

  • Just purchased The Biggest Loser Electronic Cal-Max Scale at Kohl's Department Store a little over two weeks ago. It's a great scale. It shows the maximum no. of calories you need to eat to maintain your present weight (eat less calories to lose). It shows your BMI and has a 440 lb capacity, weighing to 0.2 increments. It…

  • I stand corrected. You're right!!!! (a pound is a pound! muscle and fat weigh the same...muscle is more dense). The point was, as you gain muscle, you may not see improvement on the scales, but you will see it in your figure, as you will be slimming out at the same time. You can't always go by the scale! thanks for the…

  • My guestimation is 3-to-3.5 ozs., but it looks like it has cheese or something on it. ? :) I brought my daughter a little food scale, and I use it every day too now that I'm trying to eat healthy. They're inexpensive, and it helps a lot! Best wishes!!
    in how many calories are in this chicken I ate? (pic) Comment by LindaReInDE January 2011
  • another thought... If you're gaining lean muscle, it weighs more than fat, so you really can't go by the scales. My scale wasn't moving, but my clothes were getting lose.

  • I started at 185 lbs. and my daughter, a personal trainer, upped my calories from what this program was telling me I needed. She felt it wasn't enough, and it didn't match what her studies show I would need, so my calories are 2,160 total. She also lowered my carbs and upped my proteins, but she was going by MY weight and…

  • Same here, Bryan! It helps to do it with others and not alone, so I think this website is awesome!! I'm part of a team doing an ultimate challenge, and I'm finding the challenge fun for a change, but that's because I'm not doing it alone this time! I'm so much more hopeful that this is going to be it... I'm going to…

  • About four years ago I was trying to lose weight for my daughter's upcoming wedding, and I was eating "right" (so I thought) and exercising, but I wasn't losing weight. I recently learned that if I eat protein and healthy carbs earlier in the day, say for lunch--something like grilled chicken and brown rice OR 3 ozs. of…
