38.... just not motivated - really struggling right now. Need to get there in 6 months. Will feel so much better!

BINGO! this makes so much sense for me.... THANKS. I have noticed these trends (don't want a piece of fruit after a sugar or salt snack) .... fruit alone for desert can be wonderful.... IF I haven't had a 'heavy' snack or rich meal.. My issue is I never think of fruit - lived in the north as a child and fruit was…

Good advice here. I find most important is to log ALL food "no matter how ugly" as another blogger put it. I also use the Notes box to make changes.... Like 'eat more fruit', 'make better choices' ... "stop with the chocolate". Take it slow, I've lost 27 in 2 years - been busy years - but thats OK - I could have easily…

Hi, I need support too. I have 85 to lose and have fallen off track.... this journey is way longer and more difficult than I thought it would be. friend me and we can keep track of each other....

Hi, terrae326 has it right. Take it SLOW and do one thing at a time. I was a smoker - quite for 10 years and went back. I'm finally done with it - 5 years now...but I could go back in a heartbeat. (but won't). I fight it all the time. I would lower your weight loss interim goals. 20 to 25 pounds is a lot and can take a…

Well done, you should be very proud! 25 pounds makes a difference.... 65 pounds - fabulous!

Just take a break. I was away for 9 weeks with no computer and I tracked on paper - just so I had a view of what I was eating during the day... easy to forget and over eat. I didn't track every day... just when I felt I was losing a bit of control. The scale and your clothes will tell you how you are doing... congrats that…

If you can try and wait 20 minutes the craving might stop. If it doesn't go away then have some protein (hard boiled egg, some nuts, etc.) and stay within your daily calorie count. Chances are you are not actually 'hungry', you have a 'craving' or a 'want'. Be sure you know the difference. TRUE hunger gives you dizziness,…

REALLY? "5'8" tall and weigh 130 pounds & BMR is 21"....... what are you worried about? Is this a joke? How thin do you want to be? I was same height and weight in my 20's and was bone thin. My goal now is 150 and I've lost 2 inches of height over the years...

room for 1 more? I'm in!

I don't count my exercise, so I never eat the extra calories I burn. if your workouts are very viggerous and you feel you need some extra calories - then use only half. As long as calories burned are less than what you eat you will lose weight.... maybe not as fast as you like, but if this is consistent you will lose…

1 cup fruit salad (oranges, plumbs, apples), 1 tbs honey, 1 tbsp flax seed, 1/2 cup probiotic yogurt, 2 tbs raisins, coffee with milk and splenda. 10 am

I have been traveling for 6 weeks and have 4 more to go. Advise above is all good. I drink lots of water; have a good protien breakfast; soups for lunch; order sauces, etc on the side in a restaurant; eat lots of salads with meat or fish added; and watch the wine and beer. I have gained 4 pounds and that is OK with such a…

Ok I was 5'9 and now I'm 5'6.... getting old... do I still qualify? I'm still taller than all my 'little' friends !! :laugh:

Good, you will both enjoy the results!!! ;-)

Do what you want to do...it is your body. You will be happier doing an exercise program that you want to do. You won't convince him - it i not about a discussion it is about your personal goals. He should support you no matter what your choice. Good luck. check out.…

YUP work on the mental image first. you are not fat.

Bouncing all over food and diet web sites can be frustrating as well as confusing. Try and find a 'diet' that appeals to you. One that I like is the 'Mediterranean diet'. It is a very balanced diet with lots of flavour. Get a book that appeals to you with food plans and keep it handy in the kitchen. Don't buy any book…

Keep doing everything right and you will lose. 2 pounds could be water. 40 pounds is another story - presumably your Dr has given you some insight regarding that weight gain. Maintain a calorie deficit and keep your expectations reasonable. Hang in there, losing weight isn't easy... if it was, we wouldn't be here.

Hi I have the same issue - I eat way too much sugar even tho I stay within my calories and try to focus on natural sugars. Problem is, ANY sugar produces insulin and when you produce insulin you don't burn fat. Your sugar intake on most days is almost 3 times the recommended grams. (mine too). I am making a serious effort…

... all of the above with Bran Buds for crunch and fiber - ground flax seed is good too...gives a nutty flavour.
-
Calorie deficit - daily; exercise; cut fat; eliminate sugar; eat healthy; patience...!
-
good question - i think I will track when I start to gain... even if it is only a couple pounds.... so I will probably be tracking for life - as weight fluctuates all the time and I don't want to gain EVER AGAIN!!!
-
Boy can I relate to Copelandmom. I'm older - 65 - but I wish I'd been more serious about weight loss at that age. You ladies are smart to get on top of your weight now - the years fly by. I'd love to tag along with you girls - I have a new grandchild (pic) and hope to dance at his wedding! The fat, salt, sugar addition I…
-
...sorry for your loss. let it go, just get back on track and ONLY look forward... you won't gain 'like crazy' with 2 days of extra calories - maybe a pound of water.... but that's about it and that is easy to loose.
-
...depends how hungry your are. you can add Greek yogurt to any hot or cold cereal and some bran buds - more protien and fiber - less hunger. change it up so you don't get bored.
-
....the scale is just a number - reflect on how your feel and how your clothes feel. If you continue good habits the weight will fall off. Eat below your calorie usage for your resting metabolic rate and you will lose weight. This isn't easy and you have to be persistant. Sugar fat and salt are strong addictions - if they…

Hi, I just started this program. I'm on 1650 per day and weigh 255 lbs. When I look at the food I can eat for 1650 calories and compare to what I'm eating now (honestly probably 3000 per day) 1650 will be just fine. I suspect it will be a challenge to stick too 1650 once my cravings kick in and motivation wains..... But…
