The Dead Bug - Lay on the floor, it's very important to keep your lower back touching the ground as well as your shoulders. Lift your legs so they make a 90 degree angle concentrating on your abs. Then, if you can, lower and straighted one leg and lift back up concentrating on your abs and keeping your lower back and…

Just found this list: Food Inc.: This film touches on the politics of food production, farming, obesity and disease in our 21st-century diet. Food Fight: Foodie celebs like Wolfgang Puck, Michael Pollan and Dan Barber talk about how food has changed in American and the growing organic-food movement. Dirt! The Movie: A look…

Food Inc. But I won't watch that one because I already don't eat red meat and anything to do with hurting animals kills me!

So awesome!

Your comment... I am very obese ... I am obese! Who cares. ;) You need time to grieve, that's normal..Don't be so hard on yourself.. Or try not to be, my heart goes out to you... I am very sorry to hear what you are going through and feel free to add me as a friend. DIET is not the answer, taking care of yourself,…

hot dogs! lol you will love this site. Welcome!

*losing... ya, whatever, this isn't grammar SKOOL. l8r.g8ters. lol

Also, for those of you who have lost the weight CONGRATULATIONS!! I see some very impressive people on here. It's nice to see real people taking charge of their lives... thank you..

WOW! Thank you for all of the replies! I read each one. Very positive, supportive and modivating! I have been taking measurements and will continue to do so. Slow and steady wins the race! It took me 5 years to gain this so ya..... 1 or 2 years to get back to being healthy really isn't that bad! I already feel soooo much…

Still seems too little to me if I'm working out and eating properly.. Maybe my metabolism will speed up? People keep telling me that around 12 weeks of keeping this up I should then, start to see the pounds come off fast... ??

All the healthy stuff is in Canada. ;) Just kiddin'! :)

You might like the documentary, Hungry for Change. Google it. :) You can get it on Netflix if you have that. Those type of films really modivate me. I know it's hard... I'm the same way. Hopefully eating healthy and properly will help me achieve my goals this time. Don't deprive yourself either.

THE best one I have come across so far is Danone Silhouette Stirred Greek Yogurt 0%.

Your shoes might be too tight. Maybe your feel are swelling as you exercise (happens to me so I just loosen my shoes) Do you stretch your feet? Have you been tested for diabetes?

Thank you! I've set it so it shows the same reading as my trainers does. Just wish it would say something else. lol

I drank beer yesterday and should have known better! I gained 6 pounds in a day. I like what the guy said just below you. Don't weigh yourself so much... Something I'm going to do because it's completely frustrating and the scale is not our friend. :)

You can add me :)

Sure, why not! I am 194 today, am doing circuit training, cardio and eating clean and healthy 6 or more times a day. Daily food calorie intake should be 1675, I'm trying to get it up to that but it's hard! Looking to loose 8 pounds in 4 weeks.

So hard to eat 1700 calories a day after burning 500 at the gym!

You were right! 1700 a day. :)

Thanks everyone. I saw my trainer on Monday and had a really good chat about nutrition. She wants me to have 1700 calories a day with me working out every day, it's necessary. I completely disagree with the 1200 a day diet. First of all I feel like I'm depriving myself and then I just want to binge. I used to think…

This is the heaviest I've been.. right now I'm 194, but that's going down! I imagine I'll have the "loose skin" too, but I don't care! As long as my clothese fit nice and comfortable, I'm good. Thanks for your reply!

After I started seeing a personal trainer, I got very excited about working out. So I think yes, try a personal trainer. :) What are you waiting for??

JUST GO! After you work out you'll feel much better! JUST DO IT!

I don't get that by eating differently. However, after I workout I do get very cold. Heat bags are comfy!

Do not do the 1200 calories a day. You will starve yourself and your body will go into fat storage mode. You need to eat 6 times a day, healthy, non processed foods. Eat protein with each meal and eat something within the first 1/2 hour you wake up to get your metabolism ready to go. If you are not hungry, your metabolism…

Thanks Elle408! I saw my trainer last night and she said basically the same as you. My calorie intake should be at least 1675. Really good link thanks for that! When I'm doing circuit training I am using weights for my back and back of shoulders mostly. My trainer said I am very dominant in the shoulders, which I am and I…

I can see where you are coming from. Do you think you are able to be the weight you are because your metabolism is fast because of all of the activity you do? I'm going to try 1200 calories a day until I get down in weight. (Currently working with a personal trainer and at the gym almost every day for at least 60 minutes.…
