Are you gaining muscles with working out on weights? Do you have low metabolism? You should check your thyroid if you're not gaining muscles. But if you are gaining muscles and the amount of weight you can lift, bench keeps going higher, then maybe you need to measure other parts of your body to see if you are losing i.e.…

Don't beat yourself up over one or two incident. Just get up and keep going as before. If you're finding it hard not to splurge, you might want to pick one day a week to treat yourself to something. I stick to my calorie intake on most days and then saturday night I might go get yogurt ice cream or something that I really…

It Depends on what you want to spend. I bought my Capri pants - Activewear and High Impact Sports Bra (Danskins) from Walmart $12.00 ea. Shirts $7 and Low Impact Sports Bras $10 from Old Navy. Running Shoes - Addidas Nordstrom Rack $42 and 6 pairs Socks $7.99. Ear phones and water bottle $1 each dollar store. I'm trying…

BTW Bacon is bad for you. Heart attacks is the number one killer of men and the number 2 silent killer of women. Stop eating Bacon. Eat the good fats.

I think you're doing a great job. Just make sure you get your proteins and your vegetables. Some people have higher metabolism than others so you might just have more muscles to help your metabolism. I eat a lot too usually after I work out because that's about the only time I get hungry but sometimes, I don't make the…

I used to buy from Ross Dress for less and macy's. For Macy's I would cut coupons and wait until they have a holiday sale, and go in and get dress and suits for work at around $30-$45. For the casual clothes, I would go to Good Will or salvation army or Clock thrift store. I would get just enough to last me a week so I…

Try to up your proteins in the morning, so that gives you plenty of energy for the day. Eat pizza or something. I found that if I eat a larger breakfast, I don't get so hungry anymore and eat junk. I love potato chips. This way I can have a lighter lunch and a regular dinner. I take a multivitamin, B-complex and iron at…

Boobs, now thighs and a little bit of upper stomach. My upper stomach was so large, people thought I was carrying a baby boy. HAHAHA. It took about 3 months before I saw results with my tummy.

It's not healthy if you don't add protein to it. I tried it in 2011 and lost all my muscles. Used to be able to lift 50 60 lbs without a problem. After I tried being vegetarian, now I can only lift about 20-25 lbs. You'd have to work your way back up. Sometimes, you get cravings for burgers and it's really hard to eat all…

Thank you for replying. I guess I have to do some more research. Oh! I am doing weights as well.

I was barely eating very much before I decided to lose weight. I was never hungry. I wasn't burning much calories either. I could go at least 36 hours without food. My metabolism was barely existent. My friends all told me that it was unhealthy and I should see an endocrinologist. Which I did and they told me my TSH was…

I joined a women's gym because I could never feel comfortable in a co-ed gym and eventually, I would drop out and stop going. I'd waste the membership. So this year I made a decision to find a gym that was for me where everyone is the same and doesn't judge you. The women's gym was the best decision I ever made because I…

I wish I had your problem for a day. I would love to be able to eat donuts and ice cream. I think if you are very athletic so you probably won't lose your stomach if you gain a little weight. I think with you being tired, you are probably not getting enough of some vitamins and minerals. I would have your thyroid checked…

Feel free to add me, too. Always looking for motivating friends. I've been fat all my life and have been on yo-yo diets for the last 10 years. I think I've finally have to right balance to get me to 125 lbs this time. Every bit counts. I would love to have people to talk to who understand how hard it is to lose weight.…

I looked up the BMR based on the information you gave me. It calculates how much calories you can consume to maintain your weight which is 2138. This is based on being really active. To lose 2 lbs a week, you have to cut your calorie intake to 1529. So in 6 weeks if you cut your calories to 1529, you would lose about 12…

I'm not going over 1200 but after I exercise, I'm starving. I just want to eat everything that I see and nothing seems to fill me up. Then the trainer at my gym asked me if I was dehydrated. Something I never thought about. I asked around and was told to drink liquid with electrolytes once a day, not gatorade, like…

I'm 5 2 and looking to lose about 50 and 60 more lbs.

I love to eat sweet things too. I could go through a krispy kreme donut box in 5 minutes when it's hot and delicious. What, I've done is plan for it. I pick saturday as my day to splurge and I set aside 3 donuts for my breakfast. I add low fat milk. The rest of the week, I don't touch that stuff. I have a bowl of apples…
