I ALSO HAVE BEEN USING HER VIDEO AND JUST GOT A NEW ONE. I INCORPORATE IT IN WITH OUTSIDE WALKING, GARNDENING, AEROBICS ECT.... AND COUNT CALORIES. I HAVE LOST 23 SINCE DEC. I HAVE NOT PUSHED MYSELF. I AM TAKING IT AT AN EASY PACE AS I HAVE ALSO HAD BACK PROBLEMS AND SOME EXERCISES BOTHER IT. PLUS BEING OVER WEIGHT I JUST…

YOU DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE THE SAME PERSON! YOU LOOK HAPPY, GLOWING AND HEALTHY! GREAT JOB!!

HI, I AM IN THE SAME BOAT. MARRIED, KIDS, HOME ALL DAY TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE AND COOK AND CLEAN.... I AM NOT COMPLAIING BUT IT CAN BE A GOOD EXCUSE NOT TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF CAUSE YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE ELSE. I STARTED BY TRYING TO DRINK MORE WATER, WATCHING MY CALORIES, (WRITE IT DOWN!), AND WALKING OR…

IN REFERENCE TO WOLFCHILD59 :THE BOX SAYS 56g/ 5/8" circle IN DIAMETER DRY OR 2 OZ. COOKED AS A SERVING. IT IS A GENERIC THIN SPAGETTI.

MY BOX SAYS 2 OZ. COOKED, SO THAT WOULD BE DIFFERNT THEN 2 OZ DRY? SO I SHOULD WEIGH IT BEFORE I COOK IT. BUT WHY DOES THE BOX SAY 2 OZ COOKED IS A SERVING OR 5/8"IN DIAMETER. AHHHHHH, I AM GLAD I LOOKED THIS POST UP. I THINK I NEED HELP TOO !

I JUST COOKED SPAGETTI OVER THE WEEKEND. MY BOX HAD DRY OR COOKED SERVING SIZE. I HAVE A OLDER PLASTIC FOOD SCALE THAT HAD CAME WITH A 1 CUP CONTAINER TO WEIGH FOOD WITH. I SINCE LOST IT BUT FOUND ANOTHER BOWL CALCULATED IT TO ZERO AND THE SPAGETTI PER SERVING IS 2oz. LET ME TELLYOU WHAT, 2 oz DOES NOT LOOK LIKE MUCH…

On your food diary, after you put in your exerisicing, it will automatically recalculate what your goal should be for the day. the more you exercise the more you get to eat. But I try to always stay a little under the goal so if I eat something with higher calories/cheat I sont' mess myself up for the day. Hopefully I am…

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR SITUATION. I WOULDN'T EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW TO FIX IT EITHER. MY FAMILY HAS HAD HORSES SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN. I AM 35. SO HORSES ARE IN OUR BLOOD. WE DON'T SHOW ANYMORE BUT STILL HAVE A COUPLE TO BEFRIEND AND PLAY WITH. MY PARENTS CAN'T KEEP UP LIKE THEY USE TO. HAVING PETS THESE DAYS…

Sometimes I have felt like that too. Especially when I am shoveling in food without breathing cause it tastes so darn good. Then I feel bad afterwards. Thinking why did I do that? I want to be thinner and wear cute clothes, CAN'T DO THAT IF I DON'T START TAKING CARE OF MYSELF, I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO IT FOR ME. So…

THESE ARE GREAT! REALLY PUTS THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE. I'VE LOST AN AUTOMOBILE TIRE BUT HAVE GET RID OF A BALE OF HAY YET! CUTE THANKS FOR THE POST.

WOW, THAT IS GREAT! I HOPE I CAN DO IT TOO. 20 DOWN 50 MORE TO GO.

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT TODAY. I ONLY HAVE A FEW FRIENDS ON HERE AND I FEEL BAD BECAUSE THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE ON HERE WHO SAY THEY ARE WELCOMING NEW FRIENDS AND I WAS AFRAID TO TAKE ON A BUNCH AND NOT BE ABLE TO BE "A FRIEND" TO THEM ALL. SO I DECIDED TO JUST STICK WITH THE ONES I HAVE AT THE MOMENT. SO, NO IF…

WITH TAKING ON SOME NEW EXERCISES YOU MAY HAVE TONED UP AND BUILT SOME MUSCLE! WHICH WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT. SO YOU COULD STILL HAVE LOST FAT WEIGHT BUT IN IT'S PLACE GAINED MUSCLE, THUS THE SCALE MAY NOT HAVE MOVED? HOPE THAT HELPS.

I HAD ONE IN THE TOP OF MY WRIST FOR SEVERAL YEARS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND OVER TIME IT WENT AWAY WHICH THE DOCTOR TOLD ME IT COULD DO OR IF IT GOT WORSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. SINCE THEN THE LAST FEW YEARS I HAVE HAD 2 IN THE SIDE OF THE SAME WRIST DEVELOPE. SOMETIMES THEY BOTHER MY MOTION IN THE WRIST. GUESS IF…

HI JOSIE, HAVING DIABETES IS EVEN A BIGGER REASON TO GET HEALTHY. MY DAD HAS IT AND I KNOW IT IS HARD ON HIM. HE LIKES TO SNACK TOO. WELL I DO TOO. I FOUND IF I EAT DINNER JUST A LITTLE LATER IT HELPS. WE USE TO EAT AT 5ISH NOW I AIM FOR 6 OR SO. BUT STILL HAVE TIME TO HAVE A SMALL SNACK AFTER DINNER IF IT DIDNT' FILL ME…

BEING TOO FAR UNDER YOUR CALORIE GOAL MAY NOT BE GOOD. YOUR BODY WILL START BURNING MUSCLE INSTEAD OF FAT. TRY TO KEEP IT AT YOUR GOAL THEN IF YOU EXERCISE EAT PART OF THE DIFFERENCE. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT AFRAID TO EAT WHAT YOU BURNED IN CASE YOU MISS CALCULATE THE CALORIES YOU BURNED. I JUST TRY TO KEEP IT CLOSE BUT…

I was the same way my first month, but I had noticed on the scale my muscle number had gone down with the weight and during the second weigh in my weight didnt' go down as much but my muscle number went up. So you may have lost water and muscle the first time and now what you are losing slowly is the fat because you are…

I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START EITHER. I JUST KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. SO I BORROWED SOME RICHARD SIMMONS TAPES AND STARTED WITH THAT AND WALKING ON TREADMILL. WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE I WALK OUTSIDE INSTEAD. THE TAPES WERE MORE MY SPEED, AS I AM NOT VERY COORIDINATED BUT I THINK AS I HAVE LOST WEIGHT I SHOULD START…

LETTUCE

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! LOVE BEING A MOM BUT HATE LOOKING LIKE A FRUMPY MOM. I WANT TO BE A HOTTIE AGAIN :)

THAT WAS REALLY A GREAT POEM. I FORWARDED ON TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SOMETIMES I THINK WE CAN BE THE CHILD OR THE MOTHER IN HOW WE ACT. BUT ABOVE ALL GOD HEARS AND IS THERE WHEN WE NEED HIM. THANKS FOR POSTING THAT. :)

YES, WELCOME. THERE ARE A LOT OF US WHO ARE NEW BUT WHENEVER YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR A PROBLEM, POST IT. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHERS WHO ARE WILLING TO GIVE ADVICE AND HELP OUT. SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY!

JUST A COUPLE IDEAS. IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO EAT AND NOT EAT AND YOU JUST FELL OUT OF SINK, YOU CAN POST A PICTURE OF YOURSELF THIN (IF YOU WERE BEFORE) SOMEWHERE YOU WILL SEE ALL THE TIME. OR PULL OUT A PAIR OF SKINNY JEANS OR SOMETHING YOU USE TO WEAR OR WANT TO WEAR. POSTIVE MOTIVATIONS TO REMIND YOU WHERE…

HEY, LITTLE STEPS ARE STILL STEPS! THEY WILL STILL GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I AM NEW AT THIS TOO. I AM WATCHING WHAT I EAT. I KNOW THAT MY INTAKE HAS CHANGED. I AM ALWAYS LOWER THAN WHAT MY GOAL SAYS I SHOULD BE BUT I DO GET HUNGRY SOMETIMES BUT FOR THE MOST PART I DON'T FEEL LIKE I AM STARVING. I DON'T WNT TO HURT MY BODY OR MESS MY SELF UP AND STOP LOSING WEIGHT. I GUESS AS I TAKE EACH DAY I…
