As long as you don't over do it on the starchy vegetables you should be fine.....Berries are really good for you and the carb count is lower.... but unless you are eating mainly fruit I don't see how you could have too much.

If you want to lose weight and keep it off I would suggest that you increase your calorie intake. You're not even eating at your BMR...(I am guessing) unless you're a very small person. I would also recommend measuring your food. I find it hard to believe that you have lots of energy on 1000-1200 calories a day. If you…

Bump

Honestly by your picture I am not quite sure why you need medication for your weight loss. I have had several doctors insist that I change my eating habits and lifestyle. Not one of them has offered any type of medication and I have well over a 100lbs to lose. I hope that whatever issues that you are having that require…

I am pretty sure that is where I have been sabotaging myself.... what I decided to do this weekend was workout Friday evening before I went out. I took Saturday off, BUT yesterday I planned a big burn!!! I hiked 5 miles at a Nature Center nearby. If you do go out clubbing though I would definitely get yourself to the dance…

I add them to my protein shake, sprinkle them over the top of my salads, to my yogurt.... I read that they make a fairly easy bread. I haven't tried it yet. Tonight I am going to make a low carb french silk pie and I am considering adding some to it to see if you can tell.

It's considered unhealthy to lose more than 2lbs per week. The recommended is 1lb per week. It takes however long that it takes. It's a lifestyle change. If you keep on doing what your doing and make it a part of your normal life you will not have to do this again because you are already doing it. This is my mantra... LOL

Eating under 1200 calories is a travesty. I am a large person height and weight. I could never sustain on 1200 calories. If you aren't eating at least 1200 calories a day you are probably either not measuring correctly OR you are starving yourself. I think a lot of the people like myself are looking for a LIFE change.…

Well nothing like feeling even bigger than I already am.... I am 6'2 and I need to lose about 100 lbs. My goal weight would probably be right at 200lbs....

Thanks so much. I have flax seed I'll have to pick up some chia seed. I have started integrating a protein shake and a protein bar as a snack. It has definitely helped me stay full longer.

Let's do this....

I lightly saute some zucchini and peppers about a cup a piece .... whip up about 6 eggs and add to the skillet. Scramble it up and then seperate it about 3 ways. It's about 250 calories a piece and I knock out a serving of veggies. Add a little shredded pepperjack and some salsa! BAM!

I'm so glad you posted this. I have been noticing that a lot of people eat way under the recommended for weight loss. They may be losing weight, but I think they maybe kidding themselves if they honestly think they will keep it off. Sure they may get there faster, but will they have to do the journey again. I for one am…

It stands to reason that they will eventually shrink, but if they are causing you discomfort I would work to stregthen your core... then work on the muscle underneath like several others have suggested. I carry around DD's myself, but I have never wanted them to shrink, I have however wanted them to be easier to carry…

I honestly look foward to that expense!!! But that could be the girl in me.:happy:

I have about 140lbs..... so I would love to be your friend!!! :smile:

I needed this too!!!

Have you tried intervals on the elliptical??? You go balls to the wall for 40 seconds and then walk slow for 2 minutes alternating. I tried it for the first time tonight and I have to tell you I feel awesome. It gave me a different kind of burn. I am planning on doing this 3 days per week and then I do circuit training 2…

I usually have flavored vodka and then I take the Crystal Light on the go drink packets and mix it with a bottle of water.... It's about 70 calories per ounce of vodka and 5 calories for the mixer. It's refreshing. My fave is Blueberry Stoli and lemonade. Now I will admit that I have no self control on Friday evening so I…

If you're a wrestler this could work... otherwise you could be SOL with this one.

As my doctor said to me "two months is nothing".... So 5 days is expecting too much. #1 you need to eat your calories. This program figures what you should eat to lose weight you are already at a loss on calories then. If you are coming under even that goal your deficit is way too high. It's also not sustainable. There is…

I decided about 6 weeks ago that I waste about $200.00 per month on NOTHING... I have no idea where it goes. Right now it goes to a visit to personal trainer. I realized taking this journey is not something I can do alone. I need a professional. Funnily enough I very rarely use any of the equipment in the gym during our…

As you lose weight your body needs less calories to fuel itself. The adjustment helps so that you don't hit a plateau.

In my opinion you need to run not walk to your doctor. You definitely have a problem. It will escalate into something even bigger than it already is. Regardless if it is BDD or not you have an issue. It is in your head, but they have medicine and therapy for things like that. Be proactive GET HELP!

. Your body is a machine it needs fuel through out the day to keep going. If you run out of gas in your car, don't you put some in?Consistency is the key from what I am learning. Try to be more consistent through out the day, but I say fill up tonight. Do better getting your meals and snacks through out the day you…

I am in agreement with most everyone else... I have been told by a couple of different nutritionists that as long as I stay below my caloric intake I will lose weight. I tried that and it absolutely did not work. My new nutritionist is of the mind set that I need to control my carb intake and eat consistently through out…

I was on the elyptical for an extra 15 minutes and added extra 5 second push ups...

They have a reverse bike at my gym where you use your hands to pedal... I see the disabled gentleman in my gym use that frequently.

My personal trainer advised me that Saturday could be my free day and boy do I utilize that. Unfortunately since I have I can tell you that it just isn't working for me.... When I splurge and eat whatever I want I find that I do not like the taste or the crap makes me feel bloated and miserable. So this morning I have…
