I don't think this is government interference. I think this is just making it easier for consumers to make healthy decisions. I tell you what, I'd be a lot more inclined to eat at a restuarant that Does have nutritional information available, versus one that doesn't. Maybe it doesn't need to be on the menu, but have it…

The good news is, this is not a diet. Diets are restrictive. With this, you can eat anything as long as you stay within your calories. Yes, this will work, and you will actually start to like it, if you stick with it. Just make sure you do what you can at home, and stay within your calories. Also, eat as clean as possible…

Yes, squats will give you a bubble butt. As to the boobs - the only thing I can think of there is implants. Good luck

anytime you change up your routine you will retain water for a while because your muscled are protecting themselves. Give it time

It sounds like you know what you are doing that isn't helping. You said you are eating alot of processed foods - stop, that's gonna hurt you everytime. Your calories are dependant upon how much activity you have. With 7 kids, I imagine you are running around chasing them quite a bit. I'd say start at 1500 calories, and if…

BAD IDEA! Your body needs nutrients and energy. You are not a shaman. You should not do this.

My diary isn't open (to my knowledge), and the only reason why is because I don't always log all of my foods (usually just forget to add dinner, which is almost always salad), or some days I don't log at all, even though I still eat healthy and exercise. Would that prevent you from commenting?

I just turned 29, I'm on my way to losing 50 pounds (which is my inital goal. I may up it if I hit that nad still have room to go).

My boyfriend loves my makeup. He still thinks I am pretty without it, but he has told me several times that he thinks I am gorgeous when I do my makeup. I almost never go without (I have pretty bad skin from having acne for years, so I need it just for my own self confidence) so he doesn't see me without it very often, but…

Me too. I was looking forward to all of the snarky comments that would have come along with that ^, but this is good too. I don't believe in starvation mode. I don't think it's good to undereat, but I think starvation mode is something these websites use so people don't become anorexic. Please people, don't be anorexic,…

You need to start joggin. Walking isn't going to cut it. Also - get some skin firming lotion. That will help.

Love this! Thank you!

Listen to your body. Only eat when you are hungry.

I'm 29, and just Now have found a nice guy with good credit. Keep in mind, when you find him, he is going to hold you to very high standards though. Be prepared for that, as well as him being frugal with his money. I have my own money, so that doesn't bother me, but that's how it works.

They always recommend to buy new clothes as you go. Buy dresses that can be belted, so when you lose a little more, they will still look good. Wearing dowdy clothes doesn't do anything for the self esteem. Go buy some new clothes. It will make you super happy that you are fitting into a smaller size. I buy a new dress…

OMgoodness! 204 pounds down is an incredible success! Keep it up girl! Way to go!

As long as your eating your calories before working out that's fine. I never eat back exercise calories.

Daily breakdown of calories - breakfast = 25%, lunch = 50%, dinner = 25%. Your lunch should be the highest calorie meal of each day.

I'm getting skinnier and skinnier every day! No food tastes as good as skinny feels. Only You can prevent forest fires (which is silly I know, but it reminds me that I am the only one who can do this for myself)

Honey I am so sorry you are dealing with such mean, unsupportive family members. I would lose it if my family said that to me. I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should tell them how they are making you feel. Or if you want to fight fire with fire, when they say those nasty things to you, cut them down about what…

snickers ice cream bars only have 180 calories a piece

Take a calcium with magnesium supplement (magnesium allows your body to absorb the calcium), and it Really helps with cramps. Holistic cure that works pretty well,…

Did you lose inches? I focus more on how I look as opposed to what the scale says.

Let me ask you this - is milk water? NO. therefore, no you cannot count milk as water.
