The cooked weight...the actual amount that you are consuming.

I have to agree with everyone who has posted 'eat more calories'. The normal mindset of dieters is to eat way less food. This puts your body into starvation mode, slows the metabolism and makes shedding pounds almost impossible. Increase your calorie intake with good healthy real foods, eat every few hours, along with…

Change your eating schedule, change your exercise schedule. Drink lots of water. You'll get losing again...and btw, GREAT job on the 40 :)

Hi! Pretty pic!

As for the elliptical: I'm an elliptical fanatic and have found that different styles & brands of machines position your feet slightly different, so you may feel better on one machine vs. another. I agree that running shoes are usually more comfortable.

I'm looking forward to the correct answer on this one myself... My own eating habits are this: (and have been for a long, long time, I might add)...I almost always have lots of calories left over on weekdays, and then I am over on calories on the weekends. My weight stays the same, and I am not trying to lose any weight,…

Super!!! The hard work pays off!!!

Welcome! I've only been here a few weeks, and I'm loving it!!! Feel free to add me as a friend!

Hi! Add me, too, if you like!

I eat chicken every single day and have for years. I marinate it with olive oil and whatever spice mix looks good at the grocery store. Mccormick has lots. And I grill it, tender every time!

No luck needed, find a schedule for eating and exercise and stick to it. Every day is a new day, so if you have a bad one, start new the next!!! Glad you're here, I love this site, hope you do also!!!

I'm in, too :)

Welcome :)

Welcome!!!! Lots of info and lots of support here!

Super Congratulations!!!! Awesome work!!!!

Welcome! I'm fairly new also, and agree with you that this site is awesome!!

I agree with everyone! Soy, almond, coconut are all good. But as you get into the flavored ones, the calories go up, as does the sugar. I tried the coconut milk just recently, after I read a post by Jillian (The Biggest Loser), about how she prefers to alternate them!

I was going to say water retention also, due to sodium intake. And good advice, all that say never weigh-in on Monday...too depressing!!! We really don't need to start the week upset!!! I always look at Mondays as the 'beginning'!

LOL...Thank you!!!

The two I've always visualized: a pound as a pound of butter and five pounds as a bag of sugar. And the image of Oprah pulling out the wagonful of fat is stuck in my head forever, except I don't remember what that weighed lol....
