Hi I'm 52 it is hard to loose but patience is the key. I've lost 26 lbs sense January. I just keep working out. You can do it just keep eating right and working out. Strength training is good. i started with low impact like water aerobics and yoga (boy is yoga a work out) Then I moved into some core work out classes and…

Get some new shoes because it is very painful to hurt your feet. I stress fractured my foot walking not running. Then I proceeded to damage all the soft tissue in both feet by continueing to walk thinking I had just bruised my foot. It took over a year for my feet to stop hurting. Good shoes are important.

I eat breakfast around an hour after getting up any time between 5 and 7 AM, I eat lunch between noon and 1 PM, dinner is around 5 or 530. I don't eat after 8 pm. I have a snack in the morning and afternoon if I want.

My husband and I joined a Gym in January we started with a month to month membership, but have switched to a 2 yr membership. I was concerned too about the other people , but that isn't an issue at all. I joined an aqua aerobic class and the group was so friendly. Everyone was friendly. They have what they call lifestyle…

I hit a plateau in April or May and am now stuck again. I had to change things up I started exercising twice a day 3 or 4 times a week morning and night. It helped last time and I am trying it again. I can't eat back the calories I gained weight when I tried. I think the calories burned is high so I don't think when it…

I would ask your doctor about seeing a nutrientist (sp) to help you eat right while taking these medications. This will also get you eating correctly for when you go off the medications.

I drink both water and unsweetened tea. I count the tea as water it doesn't have anything in it no sugar no lemon just boring tea, but I like it better than water.

I got stuck last month and what I had to do was exercise twice a day. I had been just exercising in the morning so I added a work out in the late afternoon or evening and that worked for me. Good luck..

I don't like salty food.. I don't like chips or french fries.

We just ate at Texas Roadhouse if you put the restruant in your food log search it will give you some of the menu items. A lean steak is okay check out the calories first and then stick with your menu choises. I did fresh vegies it was broccoli and carrots. The salad I ask for no crutons and dressing on the side I use my…

I have hypothyroid and take a thyroid med for about 6 years. 2 years ago I started to feel tired again and gained 10 lbs in a week. I went to my doctor the blood work said my level was 2.5 in the normal range but I told my doctor that may be so but if I am sleeping all night 10 to 6 and needing a nap by 930 Am and another…

If it has calories you have to add it or your calories count will not be correct. If it doesn't have calories then you can just add it to the water intake. I drink unsweetened tea zero calories. But my coffee has 60 calories I add that to my breakfast food log.

The first time I got on the eliptical at the gym my heart rate went up to 153 within minutes of starting and now I have to push myself to even get up to 153, and my knees hurt most all the time and they no longer hurt at all, and when I started yoga I couldn't balance on one leg and now I can for as long as I want. I was…

I saw the Dr Oz show too. When I was 19 I bought my wedding dress it was a size 12 I weighed around 120 lbs. I couldn't fit into that dress now at 156 without taking out the seams, but I bought a pair of jeans size 12 just last month. Crazy. My daughter who is only an inch shorter than me and weighs around 115 to 118 and…

Hi I like my wiifti plus. I think it helps with balance. I like the yoga etc. I do other work outs. if I want to do a indoor 3 miles I like to do the bike ride or free walk or run. I am not sure I could loose weight with the wiifit alone. But I like the weigh in and I just got down to normal so no more "That is…

HI because I have a diabetic cat (and 2 other normal ones) I had to regulate his diet to low carb and he is off insulin. Raw food is okay as long as it has all the nurtrients but raw meat does not have the nutrients they need. I feed canned food no gravys those have to much carbs in them. Wellness chicken and turkey are…

I take a class where we use one hand weight and you hold it over your head and then throw it forward (but don't throw it) at the same time you are crunching pulling your abs in like some one is going to punch you in the stomach. Using 2 hand weight do side stretches and goal post the weights and twisting this gets the…

my husband just started Physical therapy for his back and they are having him sit on the stability ball and use bands. Have you talked to a doctor? So you get the right exercise for your problem.

I have had hypothyroid for 6 years. Even with meds it is tough loosing the weight. I take supplements that are suppose to help the body absorb the synthyroid. drug. I have had to up my dose twice. If you are still feeling tired you should ask your dr to check your number and up your dose. I refused to feel tired all the…

I eat 1200 to 1400 calories a day and burn 300 to 500 calories a day taking at least one day of rest. I don't eat extra to make up for the calories burned. If I eat more or don't exercise I don't loose weight. I have been counting calories off and on sense 2001 and know how my body works. I have lost 9 lbs sense Christmas.…

artifical sweeteners have always given me headaches. So I was leary about trying the Truvia but it doesn't give me headaches so I use it on my fruits etc. I have been using it almost a year.
