  • I usually stick to Chicken Fajita with corn tortillas at a mexican restaurant, and eat either the beans or rice - not both. There is sometimes another good choice that has a whole chicken breast grilled with veggies on top. Not sure what it's called. My biggest challenge is the chip basket! It's the devil!
  • My dietician has told me twice to increase my calorie intake, and I have resisted. The first time I didn't listen, and I only lost 2 lbs in a month. I was eating 1270, sometimes eating back what I exercised. Now I'm going to listen. She wants me to eat 1500-1600 a day, My BMR is 1650, and I've been working out 4-5 times a…
  • I am 5'7" and weigh 212. Please feel free to add me. I want to lose 50 more lbs. Good luck on your journey to better health!

  • The scale is my emotional enemy. If I don't think I'm losing fast enough, then I just want to give up. Before my dietician told me to stop weighing at home I was weighing once a week, first thing in the morning on Friday. Now, my plan is to weigh once month at the dr. office, and just do my thing and forget the scale till…
  • I love Zumba! First I bought the DVD's and did them at home because I was too shy to try in front of a class. A co-worker kept encouraging me to come with her to a live class, and from the first time I went, I was hooked! That was two months ago, and I've been going at least 3 times a week ever since! It burns a ton of…
  • Coffee is probably at the top of the list of things I will not give up. I learned to use sugar free creamer, and stevia, but I gotta have it! I've also decided that there are things that diet plans suggest that I'm just not going to eat any more - cottage cheese at the top of that list. I had a 1/2 cup yesterday to get my…
