I think that some people are just in denial. They wish they were where you are, feel what you feel and have the success that you are hainvg. Hopefully they will realize it one day. If they truely understood what you are doing, if they truely are happy with what they are doing, then they wouldn't put you down or make you…

First off I would like to say congrats on the weight loss and good luck with your surgery. It is very true that everyone is different and some of us have skin that bounces back from pregnancies or excessive weight gain and loss and some of us just don't. After I had my children, I had a lot of stretch marks and loose skin…

There are worse things to be addicted to:wink:

I do 30 minutes of cardio on various machines including, indoor rower, elliptical, AMT, Arc Trainer. I have issues with my joints so I don't use a treadmill or stepper and I don't run on the track. I do my cardio 3-4 times a week. I do resistance training on machines and I love to do all kinds of abdominal exercises mostly…

As a manager of a gym and a trainer for 11 years I am telling you that what the trainer told you is false. If you consume less calories than you take in you are going to lose weight. Be sure to eat enough as if you eat too little your body will go into starvation mode and hold onto everything it can especially fat. You…

If done correctly, yes, sit ups will tone your abs. If you have fat hiding your abdominal muscles then you will need to burn fat by doing cardiovascular exercise in addition to eating healthy or the abdominal muscles will remain hidden no matter how many sit ups you do. If you are unsure how to do sit ups correctly to…

Great job. Keep it up.

Great job! 4 lbs is awesome.

Nice job!!! Keep it up.

Congrats!!!

Thanks for the feedback ladies. I am glad you enjoyed it. Let me know your thoughts once you try it. I did the Arc trainer today and my legs turned to jello, plus I pushed myself harder and burned more calories than I did yesterday on the same machine. Have a nice night!!!:smile:

That's awesome. Great job. Committing out loud defintely helps. Keep it up.

Way to go!!! More than your goal even. Keep it up.

Thanks for the feedback. A happy and healthy 2010 to you too:)

So who reached their goal today? I have not yet but the night isn't over. I did better than yesterday and this post definitely helped me drink more throughout the day. So how did everybody else do?

I am on a 1200 calorie intake but am having trouble reaching it. So far, I am only hitting about 1000 calories a day which is not enough. It will take some time to adjust and figure out what I need to do to hit 1200 a day. I most likely will substitute lower fat items such as FF mayo and margarine with Butter and regular…

Thank you kym_lewis08.

Congrats!!! That's awesome.

Those are all great ideas. Thank you for sharing. We do have grant funding available for people who can't afford it. I did 2 TV spots on a local telelvision station, one of which I had a past participant and her mother talk about their experience. I spoke the other 15 minutes about the program. I think we should do that…

I honestly don't mind PSU and our local community health foundation running a program that might eventually compete with ours as all I want is for families to get the help they need. Whether that is from our program or another, I will be happy. Thanks.

Hi Leash, I advertise in our program brochure which is distributed to all of our members (about 12,000 people). I have signs and brochures around our YMCA. I have brochures at local businesses including, pediatricians, hospital, library, etc. I have met with a local pediatrician to ask them to promote it to families who…

I completely agree. One of the kids in my child's preschool class eats McD's EVERYDAY for breakfast. The child was about 2.5 yrs old and the parents fed them hashbrowns and some sort of meat patty every morning. I am nausious just thinking about it.

Foods that I will choose the hungrier I am: Baked potato adding veggies to my meals (including lean cusines) Eating fruit for dessert (bananas fill me up more than most) Eating almost any protein like chicken, fish or lean beef. Fish has the least calories so you can eat more of that than chicken or beef. Chicken would be…

Hi Peggy and Betterhealth2010, Thank you for the introduction. Welcome to you as well. You are so right about logging your food. I get out of control easy and logging keeps me from doing that. Good luck to the both of you and KIT.
