Hi this is jmho. Start with 5 mins at home, doing say Zumba or running or any cardio like that. I did that in December 2013. I couldn't do more than 5 mins to start with. But I built up and now I'm doing 2 hours of zumba a day with free weights. You can do zumba on youtube btw. I think it's doable with your weight loss. Be…

Agree with this! Log & pre-log!! Pre-logging works too! :) GL!

Totally understand all of this. I'm a picky eater. I have been on food stamps in the past. I really am not a big veggie person. I am trying to cut down on our food bill too. Here's my advice: 1 - beans. Beans will save you, they are cheap, they are full of really good things, protein for instance. I could eat beans every…

This is the group I founded on 24-Dec-2013 I have lost 11# since then, sent you an invite. We have a spreadsheet, and a VERY ACTIVE group with over 400# people in it. People are losing lots of weight because it's all about accountability. We have lots of MEN in the group too.…

It seems easy at first I guess, I don't have it & have never considered it. But I can't imagine the supplements, the vit b12 shots forever, & so many gain it all back. It might not be a year but so many do. Carnie Wilson for instance has had 2 WL surgeries. I think it's best if we learn better eating habits rather than…

Before we can help you should open your food diary http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings Under DIARY SHARING click PUBLIC Then we could probably help you more by seeing what you're eating.

Whoa, maybe you should eat some of those exercise calories back? You're a man, did you know that men are supposed to eat a MIN of 1800 cals per day? "The American College of Sports Medicine states that you shouldn't send signals to your body to conserve calories by detoxing or fasting. They recommend that women should eat…

abs - this dvd helps me esp with the lower abs - it's only 8 mins a session & it's HARD, but it works http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Abs-Meghan-White/dp/B000B5XPFG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1390501219&sr=8-5&keywords=meghan+white

I have BED for forever. I'm from a dysfunctional background. I've been in OA (helpful sometimes, sometimes not), I appreciate everything you wrote OP. IDK if this will help anyone here, but I'm back eating fiber rich superfood air popped popcorn. Yesterday I had 3 unpopped tblsps of the stuff and it totally helped me lose…

Agree that you can't spot reduce BUT, I do an AWESOME killer abs workout that on my own personal selfies I can see there's changes in my huge beachball belly. Mind you, I've had this for years, and it's still the best, still the killer & takes like 8 mins, but you'll die every single time you do it.…

I bought really light weights from Target for $5 a piece - cheap. Possibly less. I work my arms and LB doing them. Muscle eats fat baby!

Yes, there's a 10 min ab BURN I use daily, plus I would suggest buying Zumba World Party + Just Dance 2014 - but them right there online.

Zumba has an app, it's not free, but it's pretty much the zumba program.

I just made homemade pita bread last night, and made a 3-day prep of a french baguette. I love bread!!! And I still lose weight. I've lost 10# since December 24th. Maybe you should join my group http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/18126-lose-10-lbs-a-month Eat what you want, log it in and lose weight. Check it out,…

There's a portion control plate you can buy, and if he serves you, he can use the plate as an example. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=portion+control+plate&tag=mycroft16-21&index=blended&linkCode=ur2&camp=1634&creative=6738 I know, I've been in the same boat as you.

TBH, the minimum daily recommended amount women should be eating is 1200 calories a day. What I found is that the max you can lose per day is .4 or .5, usually .4. You can also eat up to 1500 cals and still lose .4 per day btw. This is from what I understand and experienced personally here, although every person is…

I'm really an X but weight has put me into a pear shape. I'm taking selfies weekly in my Lose 10 lbs a month group and there is a difference, even from a month ago. I also have a huge belly and that is going down as well but when I do this one abs workout you can totally see it more - I haven't been able to do abs for a…

He's a great actor. Remember Wall Street and "Greed is good"? For those who don't remember or don't know here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8y6DJAeolo

Everyone is different but for me it works well. It lets me know what I've done rightly or wrongly the day before.

No, my stepfather's kidney problems did not start before he started downing protein bars. And science proves your theory incorrect. " According to Dr. T. Colin Campbell, there is “a strong correlation between dietary protein intake and cancer of the breast, prostate, pancreas, and colon.” According to Dr. Douglas Graham, a…

I found this online "If you are already overweight, the calculation should be based on your desirable weight, not your current weight. For example, a person with tetraplegia (quadriplegia) whose desirable weight is 165 pounds, or 75 kg, needs 1703 (75 x 22.7) calories per day. A 165-pound person with paraplegia would need…

Yes if you use a HRM and count your cals.

Can you open your food diary or at least tell us how many cals you're eating?

Eat more, exercise more (like zumba).

I've been here a looong time and you don't have much to lose. If you want to jump it up a bit do more cardio like zumba. I do zumba at home. Also invest in a HRM, I have a wrist one (epulse 2) & it's great. When you eat more and exercise more it seems to really work getting your body to lose weight. Based on your diary of…

I think eating an apple when you have 1740 is fine. I just googled, an apple is just 95 cals. For males, 1800 is supposedly the bare MINIMUM of cals since your bodies burn differently than us females. For instance, for women the bare MINIMUM is 1200 cals and I know that being under 1500 a day usually gives me a daily…

Are you doing any cardio? I've got my husband doing zumba with me on the xboxone and he's lost 7 lbs from it.

LOL, the TRUTH!!!

Your diary is fine. I'm just worried about the "protein shakes" stuff because extra protein can kill your kidneys. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/could-protein-shakes-harm-your-health/ And, I will be honest about this, my step-father's health failed in the kidney due to his eating of protein bars. He wasn't weight lifting,…
