A while back I switched up what I do too. I was constantly worried about eating back calories at the end of the day, especially if I worked out extra long. I don't always know when I'm going to be able to work out and for how long so I went to a calculator site and figured out how many calories I would burn a day with…

Its a great feeling isn't it?!!!! I can say that I really didn't know my actually weight for many years. What I do know is that I'm gonna hit the 160's and soon and I remember the last time I was at thos numbers was in 1988!!!!!! 22 years ago!!!!! Funny thing is, I truly believe I am much more healthy and fit than I was…

hey everyone!!! thank you so much for the imput!!! I thought I'd update you and let you know that I have increased my carbs fro 140 to 170 each day, but I'm getting around 20-28 fiber a day. I saw my doc last week and she told me because of my blood sugar problems in the past, I need carbs!! I do eat mostly wheat products,…

Spicy, glad you stated this!! When I first started here I had a devil of a time finding the posts I commented on!!! I would search through pages trying to remember where they were!!lol Eventually I figured it out tho!! Something else that really bothers me is when a newbee posts something they need advise on, they get kind…

OOPS! Error in my number of calories I cut per day from my total burn each day says 100, its actually 1000! I should have read it before posting!

HI Dutchess! I know, this is a tough one because everyone is different so just figuring out what works for you is the hard part. Once you find what works, you'll need to re-evaluate every so often and tweek it because changing things up on a regular basis regarding your food and excercise helps keep you losing and avoiding…

Wow! Not that I'm happy you were all sick from what you ate, but, I felt the same way!! big time headache today and my stomach was so bloated from probably all the sodium I had (and the deviled eggs, chocolate, mashed tators, etc.) that I really felt like crap!!! I thought about getting on the scale just to see what a…

I made yesterday and today both high cal days for me. thought I'd try to zig-zag a bit more to give metabolism a boost and hit it hard in the gym on Monday. I did walk a bunch for the extra calores though and I still stayed a little under but that was including every single excercise calorie. I ate regular chocolate, had a…

I eat the dark chocolate m&m's a few times a week. I can't give up chocolate, if I try I know I'll binge!! No doubt about it, I know myself too well, Doesn't matter how well I'm doing losing, I still have to have chocolate!! Anyway, I did switch to the dark choc ones and they are really good!! I keep my bag in the freezer…

Hey, I got it!!! thanks!! Acutally, that was pretty easy!! go figure...

I have the Avia, but I don't like them. they kill my back!!! Not sure if it means I just need to get use to them but I had back surgery a couple years ago so when I get lower back pain, I stop whatever I'm doing right away!! I could hardly walk in them for more than 10 minutes let alone try to jog!!1lol My sister got the…

I just changed my calories up. I no longer pay attention to how many excercise calories its says I'm suppose to eat. I eat 1300-1600 a day, pending how busy I am that day and what my meal plans are. I work out for 1 hour 5 times a week, but I also am not absolutely sure of what those nights are. I went to a few sites and…

Hi! this was a huge milestone for me as well!! Your on your way!!!! congrats!!!

My "fittness nut moment" : ON most days I see both of my 3 year old grandbabies. ONe of the first things they say to me everytime they see me is "Nana, you gotta do excercise, we pick out dvd!" They love to decide what I'm doing for workouts!! Yesterday I told my little grandaughter I was tired and she said "mabye we…

Thanks for the input ladies! Foxy, I've also read some articles about zig-zagging, thats one of the reasons I am not to worried about consistancy regarding my daily totals. I'm wondering though, if I should tweak that a bit more. Most days I'm within 100-200 calories of the previous day. Mabye I should try 1200 one day and…

I too was addicted to Pepsi! I thought it would be my biggest hurdle to face but it wasn't that bad once I got use to it. What I did was cut it out cold turkey for a couple days, then I would have one, then I'd try to go a couple more days, and have another, pretty soon my days were stretching out and now I have mabye…

HI, I I beleive that Jillian from Biggest Loser said that if you stand in place with knees slightly bent (you may not be able to bend at all so try to modify) and punch your arms out one at a time like you were hitting a punching bag, that this is a good cardio workout for people with medical problems. Now remember, I'm…

For me, I think it was a combinaton of cardio and strength training. I do as much on treadmil, elliptical, bike and arobics that I can. Usually 5-6 times a week. I also do strength training with callestetics(sp?) at least 3 times a week with crunches, push-ups and leglifts everyday. some days it takes me 45 min, other days…

I should have added that I think mine have gotten better since I've been excercising and losing weight, but I'm not sure if I was imagining it or if the changes I've made are really affecting their appearance.

I was going to post something on this same topic!! I have them and mine are not good. they have gotten worse in the last couple years but since I wouldn't wear shorts and only wore my swimsuit in front of family, I haven't really thought about it. Now, that I can actually wear shorts and feal more comfortable in a swimsuit…

Spency, Really strange that you posted this because I was just thinking about jump roping!!! when I started back 4 months ago I picked up a jump rrope and i literally could not even jump let alone get over the rope!!lol Anyway, since then, I've tried a few times but hadn't done it in a while until last week. I picked it up…

I'm set at 1200, but i eat 1300-1600 depending on the day and how much I excercise. I eat back half my excercise calories usually. How many excercise calories do you guys eat back and how is it working for you? Beckiy, don't think your eating enough. Try to get at least 1200. I keep almonds on hand all the time and they…

I was just wondering, have you been on here long? Lost much weight yet? For me, I felt the same way when I first started, but, as time went by and I started losing, I started feeling better about myself and once i could see changes in my body, I was determined to the point where i didn't really care what others were eating…

HI Ginger! I too have to fit into a bridesmaids dress in the middle of June and I'm pretty busty also. So far on here I've lost 25, but I lost 12 right before starting here so I'm up to 37 for a loss. I was a 47 1/2 bust when I started and today I'm a 38 1/2. I doubt if I'll lose much more in the chest area as far as cup…

I understand what your saying, but for me personally, I do eat something we would consider "bad" once a week for one meal. It may be grilled chicken at KFC or 2 slices of chikcen BBQ pizza at Pizza Hut or possible an ice creme cone and I'm still consistantly dropping weight and inches but I also make sure I workout on that…

LOL! Simona, your post actually made me giggle out loud!!! Funny!!

Probably the clothing accounted for some of it, espec the shoes! My husband always weighs about 4 pounds heavier from no clothing on our scare to full clothing and shoes at docs scale. don't fret to much on this, could also be the time you weighted, water, food that day. Lots of things affect weigh-ins. Just keep at it, it…

Ded do the home made version. We grilled out burgers and brats last weekend and I had a burger with baked fries. Was really good and I allowed for the extra fat and calories in my cout by eating a bit lighter during the day. I hardley ever eat red meat anymore so this was a great treat!

the other day my sister picked up the back of my shirt and said "Sheri, did you know your *kitten* is missing!" LMAO!

ASWOME POST!! thanks for taking the tme to write this post!!!!
