5'2" and started at 280. I'm down to 247 with 12 1/2" gone! I have been dieting since about July 7. I'm happy with that. All though I would prefer it to go faster! My goal is really to just be healthy. I have a 20 month old granddaughter with another grandchild on the way and I want to be able to enjoy them at all the fun…

Yup, right there with ya! As been said, we all have bad days. It may be eating what we shouldn't or just flat not wanting to exercise. Focus on the big picture -- being healthy. If we keep trying, we will get there!

Sometimes it depends on how much you have to loose. I need to loose about 75-100 pounds. So, it took about a month for me. It seems like about every 20-25 pounds I can tell a good difference. So far, I have lost about 35 pounds and about 7 inches. One complete jean size (24 down to 22) and I have been dieting since July 7.

Journal EVERYTHING. No matter how small, even if it's a "free" food (fresh veggies have very few calories) and water intake. I really try to flush my system everyday; drinking about 100 ozs of water a day. I do include tea (1/2 green tea & 1/2 reg tea) but I make sure I drink more water than tea. I still haven't found a…

Eve23----me too. I started at 280 on July 7. Lost down to 246 but have gained 3 pounds on vacation. I have been doing really well since I got off vacation!

No, I haven't tried Alli. I have intestional trouble and am afraid it will mess with it.

Hey, here's what I found from the Mayo Clinic: "Many fruits and vegetables — such as watermelon and cucumbers — are nearly 100 percent water by weight. Beverages such as milk and juice are also comprised mostly of water. Even beer, wine and caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea or soda can contribute, but these should…

I drink about a total of 100 ozs of water/tea every day. If you take vitiamns, they can dicolor your urine also. I go back and forth on the tea thing. Everyday, I make sure I get more water than tea (and my tea is a mixture of green tea and reg tea). When I eat out, I always try and drink extra water the next day.

When I had my tredmill, me and Tina Turner were great friends. If those songs don't get you moving nothing will! lol

I too weigh most days but it can be unmotivating at times. I feel it does help me to keep from a larger weight gain but at the same time bugs me when I have been doing really well and still show a gain. I don't know, it's really what ever works for you. :) okiemoma

Thanks gals! I've been on another free website for weight loss and it shows that I should consume 2160 calories. On this site it shows *net calories of 17-something. So, I am guessing, you are probably right. About 1700 calories (or less) a day to loose the est. 1 ound per week. I usually stay around 14-1500 but this last…

I am hoping you can be some assistance to me. I have been looking at different sites online about dieting and am enjoying the experience. But I do have a question. I get different calorie amounts (how much I should use in a day) from various sites. How many should I have to loose weight? I am a 46 yof, I do water aerobics…
