Hello everyone. 53 yo female finally disgusted enough to do something about it.

Thank you for that, it was a very interesting article. I just can't eat 1200 calories a day, no matter how hard I try it just won't happen. I think the most I have ever been able to get down is 750 and that was feeling way to full for my taste.

It is available for IOS (iPhone) also. Great little app.

I think my reasoning behind it I never drink anything, or never did drink anything without sugar in it. I hated it because it was tasteless.

I never was a big water drinker myself, didn't like it. But have recently started drinking at least 6 8 ozs a day if not 8. It absolutely does help in my opinion. What I did to start kick drinking it was taking lemons and putting it in the water. No sugar, just lemons, at least it was a better taste then just plain water.

Shirataki (Miracle) noodles are made from a natural fiber called Glucomannan. It is said that these noodles also have other nice health benefits as well.

I know a lot of people say don't eat below your daily calories. Whether it is good or bad if you do, I couldn't tell you, but I will tell you that I never eat the 1200 calories that I am supposed to. I usually end up anywhere from 400-500 calories short for the day.

I too thought about this especially when you see/hear that Dr Oz promotes them, but really he promotes just about anything. When I looked them up to check the price I found that they were just a tad bit to expensive for my taste and bypassed them. Since that time I have found Biotin (B vitamin) and Cinnamon to be a pretty…

My cousin drank Green tea and swore that it aided in her weight loss. I don't really know if it does or not, the results wasn't noticeable to me, but then that is me. If she felt better about herself and was losing that is all the better for her. I personally have tried everything on the market when it comes to weight loss…

I couldn't stay with someone if they cheated on me, drunk or not. At least not now. My ex-husband cheated on me once before we got married, with my brother's girlfriend no less and they actually both left together for a few days. I got a phone call and he wanted to come back because he realized he had made a mistake. I…

I started the Body for Life program many years ago when it first came out and have since reverted back. I would love to do it again.

It's a workout program from Beachbody. http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/insanity.do?code=SEMB_MSN_SAN

That's what I thought, at least that is what it said when I installed it. But when I looked at my iTunes account they charged me over 25 bucks for it.

I'm in

Start with what you can lift and work your way up as you get stronger. When I lifted I would do 3 sets with as many reps as I could squeeze out rotating your sets (biceps 1 set 15 reps) (triceps 1 set 15 reps) and then back to biceps and just repeat that cycle till you got your 3 sets done. The body parts you rotate…

Lifting will not prevent you from losing weight. I used to lift years ago while on a diet to lose weight. It was a great experience to watch you tone up while losing the weight. As some have said, don't worry about the scale if you're lifting it will show that you are gaining. But remember, muscle is heavier then fat so…

Exactly, if you feel you muscles toning it might be that they are also getting bigger and if that is the case you are going to start seeing weight gains on the scale. That's why scales aren't all that reliable. If you're feeling good about it and feel your still losing then don't get upset about it. You'll know whey you…

LOL yea, he gets the look all the time.

Lmao I told my partner the same thing. He just looked at me and smiled and said the same thing, you can do it now if you like. I just gave him the look because he knows I am not happy with my body at all right now and show very little of it.

You're very welcome. It is a great app, good luck. Wish you the best.

First of all congratz on the weight loss. I would kill to lose 32 lbs in 2 months. You don't need to do crunches to tighten up the tummy area, I have found that Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer is a good workout and also Shaun T's Hip Hop abs. The moves that they make you do work the core areas plus help you lose more…

That is a decision that you need to make on your own. If you are financially able to but then if you do you have to quit school, they are all pros and cons you need to weigh for yourself. You have to decide if fitness is more important to you then continuing with your education. I can tell you what I would do. If it were…

I want to be able to fit into my old jeans and my jean shorts and also want to be able to wear a belly T.

I guess I will jump in here on this as much as I don't want to post due to the embarrassment of my weight and body shape. But here goes. This is the results I got from the Home test: You have 27.5% body fat. You have 49.2 Pounds of fat and 129.8 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water). Which to me sounds about right as…

I myself plan on quitting and have the same fears you have. I have 1 pack of cigs left and they will be my last. I did quit once before for 2 weeks and ended up going back when I just had one hell of a horrible day. But if you have a smart phone (iPhone or Android) there are apps out there that will do just what you plan…

:flowerforyou: Hi everyone, I have finally gotten the time to sit down and browse the forums and see what is here and found this thread. Just to give you a quick background about myself. I am 49 (will be 50 this year) and have finally come to the decision that I really need to lose weight. This is the heaviest that I have…

All of this just goes to prove my point in my previous post. Everybody has different definitions on processed. Some consider washing lettuce is processing it. But if you really think about unprocessed is in it's natural state. Meats you buy from the store, butcher etc is processed. You can't get around that. Unless you're…

My sentiments exactly!

All foods at one point or another are processed foods. Some people feel that if you remove the skin from a food that is considered processed. Others look at process being the addition of additives and preservatives. It really is a controversial area with some people. Not all processed foods are bad for you. Think of it…

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I really appreciate it. I guess I may end up with evening workouts. It's quieter around the house then and I won't be disturbed at that time either.
