Act your doctor. But I do believe it works out that you only need something like 300 extra calories a day, however, they need to contain the right type of nutrients and this number varies depending on what trimester you are currently in, less at the beginning, more at the end. But yes, you can and many women do lose weight…

My family thinks its wonderful, my friends think its silly and dangerous. My boyfriend is somewhere in the middle I think, he does the 'happy dance' with me every time I lose a new pound and he never complains when I talk too much about it (which happens often). But I think it worries him a little bit to, he gets sad when…

No child that young will starve themselves, survival eventually kicks in and they will eat. So don't let that stop you from putting your foot down. But also I want to point out that I hardly doubt that he doesn't like those things in every way they can be cooked. A lot of the time people will say that they don't like a…

I 'm fortune enough to have free access to the university gym, which is all I really need. But I know its almost 300 a year for non students. REALLY not looking forward to having to pay for a real gym membership someday but I'd LOVE to have access to a 24 hour gym. :)

1) I love how supportive he is, in everything I do :) 2) I love that hes a romantic, candles, poems, songs, the works ) 3) I love that we can talk about anything. 4) I love that he's strong, he can pick me up, spin me around and tell me how tiny I am. I appreciate the little white lie :) 5) I love how much he loves me <3

I'm 19, still pretty young I suppose :)

Lost 10 pounds so far, 40 more to go. And I'm definitely going for a legit life style change, that will last me a lifetime :)

Hi, I'm always open to friends to support me and of course, to support. One thing I've learned though out my experience so far is that your body is so much more capable than you can even imagine, you can do anything you set your mind to and that anything is possible if you work towards it. Believe in yourself, keep pushing…

I would suggest a heart rate monitor if you want to be super accurate but otherwise, log what you can. Most things can be found in the MFP database, sit ups, push ups, stretching, strength training, those are all in the database. Everything else I just treat as bonus that can level out any errors. Just keep track of how…

Alright, here's my two cents. First of all, yes, others are right, only YOU can sabotage yourself. So I suggest that you try to prepare for these events of bring home junk food by maybe giving him his own cupboard or bin to keep his junk food in, and on the counter? That's where the fruits and low calorie snacks will go.…

I have this concern about my little brother. He is visibly very overweight, carries all of it in his stomach and hes only 9. For breakfast the other day, he had garlic break, pizza, blueberrys and pancakes, then he ate again 2 hours later! It drives me insane that my mom lets him and that I cant do anything about it. If I…

I completely agree. Chubby, more to love, overweight, they don't hit you in the face the way FAT does. And the longer you shelter yourself from the reality of your weight then the longer it will take to fix it. When I started, I was less than 5 pounds from clinically obese for my height, that IS fat, and that IS something…

I wont be able to give a completely accurate weight until the 8th/9th but I'm roughly here: Name/ real name: Chelsey Current Weight: 161 (ish) Challenge Goal Weight: 144 01/02: 01/09: 01/16: 01/23: 01/30: <<<mini goal weight>>> 155 02/06: 02/13: 02/20: 02/27: <<<mini goal weight>>> 151 03/05: 03/12: 03/19: 03/26: 04/02:…

I'd really love to join. This sounds like just what I need :)

I sleep with my regular bar, under wire and all, every single night. For me its more uncomfortable not to. Your not crazy, its a personal preference :)

Doing very well. Pretty sure I found my healthy balance with eating (minus a few mistakes :P), and I feel good doing it, the desire for unhealthy food is becoming less and less. And the gym and I are becoming friends again :) . I don't know if I'll make it to 14 pounds off by Christmas, I have 7 and a half to go and my…

Nov 02= 70 minutes, elliptical Nov 04= 28 minutes, walking Total= 98/1440

70 minutes Elliptical! :)

Definitely! Maybe this will help give me some motivation to to to the gym more often!! :)

My food and exercise has been pretty awful the last few days but I'm fairly certain that I haven't gained weight, so that's a bright note at least and though I haven't really exercised in the last couple days, I have still been pretty active, lots of walking and dancing (though I wouldn't know how to log it, so I haven't)…

I don't know if its too late to join you all in your quest but I would love to none the less! It would be amazing to lose a stone by Christmas and even if I can't quite meet that goal, it would still be wonderful to come anywhere close! :) This will my first challenge and my first real attempt to make friends and start…

What are the rates for gaining the weight back? I assume you do gain at least a little of it back because your body is losing that extra help. But how much exactly ?

I'm 5.2' and a little bit :P and I'm aiming for 125. Then I can decided how I look and feel and decide if I wanna stress over the last 5-10 pounds that would be me at my 'recommended weight'. You will know when you get there, when you feel beautiful, comfortable, happy and healthy then you know your were your suppose to be…
