Rocky. All of them.

In 2004 I weighed 340. I am an emotional eater. I was raised to love food and that food was a reward (welcome to the southern united states!) There are a lot of attitudes towards food that I have broken and others I really don't want to give up. I have made small runs at weight loss since then. Including a 3 year stint…

^^^ Same.

This topic is perfect for me to read today. Wearing a pair of pants at work that were too tight a couple weeks ago. Haven't seen the scale move much lately, but the fact that these pants fit great tells me a lot. I'm trying to be patient with the scale, since that's what seems to matter to health professionals and everyone…

Southaven Mississippi USA . Just south of Memphis Tennessee.

Height : 5'8" Age: 35 Highest weight: 330 Lowest weight: No idea. Current weight: 255 Current Goal : 180 (First goal)

Same here. I usually get asked if I'm Mexican. Once on an elevator they didn't ask. Just assumed and started speaking to me in Spanish. When I said, I don't speak Spanish, they laughed and told me I look Mexican or some other Hispanic nationality. I wasn't offended, surprised, but not offended.

I really hope there a forum moderator that will see your post and contact you for information. But I don't know if there is any 'action' they could take either. So sad.

This! All day...

All very excellent thoughts. Thanks so much :)

OMG according to TDEE-20% I am supposed to be eating nearly 2200 calories per day!

This week I upped my calories. I have been eating around 1600 on non-workout days, and around 1800 on workout days. I dropped 2 pounds. Guess it's true. I wasn't eating enough!

Here's the numbers. I'm so confused. (**Lots of numbers ahead**): I'm still loosing inches but not as many pounds. I checked my BMR and it is 1,997. Using the Harris Benedict equation (BMR x 1.375), my maintenance calories would be 2,745. Following the guidelines of reducing by 20% to show weight loss, I should be…

Everything is very balanced. Always VERY under on carbs. I've just been paying attention to my body. If I feel like I need to eat the calories, I do. If I don't, I don't. Always selecting something healthy when I need to eat them.

Count me in!

You all pretty much hit on my thoughts on the matter. Just making sure I wasn't missing something.

What what... =) Sci-fi, video game (old school... Final Fantasy), Roller Derby, technology, etc.. I have a geek husband and geek kids in the making =)

My husband got me Zumba for the PS3. Super fun! My older sister has been doing it a gym for a while, and she is never bored with it.

Thanks. I'm trying with the iPod this week some. We do pyramid of pain at least once a week to help develop the endurance. But that is laps incremented from 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and back down. its not all 25 at one time. my wheels are flat outs (88a). we skate on polished concrete and as a beginner I needed lots of grip because…

We skate 5-10 laps at a low pace for warm up. Then we have group stretches. Some days we do running for warm-up, stretches, and then off-skate workout including plyometrics. After the plyometrics we put skates on, do the warm-up laps, little bit of stretching and then endurance skating exercises. Water is the only thing I…
