Welcome. You are off to a good start by joining here. I am a mother of two, full time student, married (so that can be mother of three). I have been classified as obese by my doctor. They say I have 80lbs over my ideal body weight, but that is another story. First, change your mindset, this is not a diet, rather your new…

Walk...Walk ...walk... Invest in a good walking shoe. I fell in love with the Sketcher's shape ups after being a Nike Shox girl. I feel the burn and they are comfortable. Another idea is work out shows, if you have cable. That way you can exercise in the comfort of your own home. Dr. Oz suggests exercising in the morning…

The scale can be a bummer. I weighed in this morning and the scale told me a 4 lb gain, not going in the right direction. Although I know what since last weekend I have had many over the mimit days. I got bummed out...BUT going to keep trying!!! So to answer your question once a week in the morning. Typically Sunday is my…

I have switched from the hard stuff. Since it costs me too many calories, I have switched to the tea. I love the passion tea lemonade. I know that that is also high in calorie count. So I purchased the tea from them in bags and make my own version using blue agave to sweeten or just my organic lemonade. Saves a few bucks…

You will feel a great inner peace and appreciation for yourself. That is priceless!!! The way you look in your clothes doesn't hur t either. :tongue:

I say whatever keeps you motivated!!!! Peek on!!!

Well I think that shows what kind of friend they really are. Don't sweet it!!! They were probably not healthy for you long term. :happy:

I am not sure what is near you. Jason's Deli is great. They have alot of organic and fresh options. A good take out salad bar. Subway is another option, go with a flat wrap or salad. Then too if you just get a 6 inch with a high grain bread, it won't be so bad. Just walk afterwards to help compensate for the bread.

Everyone is different. Yes, you did not gain all of your weight overnight. Hence you are not going to lose it overnight and maintain the lose and be healthy. But I would start by looking at what kind of foods are you eating. Are you eating fresh foods instead of processed foods? How is your protein intake? Are you eating…

A Yukon Denali XL...seats 7 and has alot of storage in the rear. As with any SUV gas is going to cost more. It gets 13 miles per gallon. But you will not have to use a luggage rack of any external storage outside of your vehicle. With all the other SUV and vans with third row seating, you lose your trunk/ storage space,…

First of all you should not be hungry. I would suggest changing your mode of consumption. If you are hungry, then you are waiting too long between meals. It is best to eat more times and lessen the amount. If you eat every 1.5-2 hours and increase your fluid intake, you will not feel hungry. It will actually be the…

Well the estimates are suppose to be less then where you are now. It is telling you that if you continue consuming calories and exercising in the same manner of your current day post, where you can hope to be in 5 weeks. Since it is an estimate you could end up being more or less, but hopefully less then your current…

I am hoping but it takes two....or does it?

My day was a month ago after suffering from the worse headache ever and being in the ER with a blood pressure of 189/139. Sure I had wanted to loss weight for years now, but never could find what worked. I did not want to pay to lose weight and I did not want to do something that could not be done for the rest of my life.…

My husband and I met in a Tax class. I was in college and newly divorced, no children. He was divorced with two kids. It was not love at first sight. Actually I was not attracted to him at all. I recall thinking "thug", for he was not clean cut. Then we started working for this Tax Company. After a couple of months, we…

Married, 35, will be 36 on 3/17. Two kids, boy 6 and girl 4. Married for 8 years in Oct.

Hey....I am with you!!!! I started out at 224 a month ago. I am down to 203.8 as of today. Come on....I am with you!!!! No starving...just a new attitude!!!!! Let's do it!!!

You are correct!! You are taking in empty calories...corndog..really!!! There are about 250 calories in a corndog, we won't talk about the additives that make you crave more junkie foods. You would have been better served taking those 250 calories and eating 2 cups of spring mix, 1/4 cup tomatos, 1/3 cup cucumbers, 1…

I recommend an Omron HJ-112 Pedometer. They are a little more expensive but ACCURATE!!! We use them in research.

First due to your surgery, I would recommend seeing a doctor you could have a bowel obstruction. Lack of elimation is toxic and could prove fatel. Don't mean to scare you, but telling you the truth. Go to a community clinic, you may have to wait a bit, but it is worth it for your health. I was going to have gastric…

But remember those people who follow that mode are the people that in a year will be heavier then when they started. You on the other hand would have learned healthy habits and strengthen your body to endure and recover faster and better when injured!!!

You GO GIRL!!!! I am rooting for you. I absolutely hate "office gossip" people. In my eyes they are just people who are not content with themselves in the first place. Hence they have to create drama. What is HCG?

I have become immune to them. Mentally turn them off. The carnival cruise ones and the apple with the body band are nice. :tongue:

Everything in life has a starting point. At least you have realized you want to make a change and put forth the effort to start. This tool really works if you are honest with yourself and the tool. I have been using this for about 3-4 weeks and have lost 12+ lbs. It has taught me about portion control and just making…

I too was an emotional eater. My first step to breaking the cycle was not to have high calorie binge food in the house. So I stopped buying the chips, cookies, ice cream, and chocolate. The more I ate of these "binge foods" the more I wanted. It is a vicious cycle. Next you have to determine what your triggers are. For me…

You are not eating enough. It is true to lose weight you have to eat. I fully understand what it is like to have a busy schedule (wife, mom of 2, full time job, and student) but you have to get away from the processed food, the lean cuisine. They are nothing but chemicals and fake meet in coinvient box. The additives and…

I have also had two C-sections. I know what you are talking about. Yes, it can. The more body fat I loose, the more it goes down. What has helped me the most is Pilates and Exercise ball. So it is not just about losing weight on the scale. Of course that is awesome, but you have to lose the fat and build muscle. Hope that…
