  • Outstanding job. I have made the same discoveries. Cutting out Soda was hard (Bet Coke stock took a hit or two also) and even though I went from tight 40's to saggy 36's so far I still see the same guy in the mirror..maybe we are just sensitive? lol Keep up the great work, your an inspiration!

    in Has any1 else tried "Intuitive Eating?" Comment by txgator July 2011
  • Thats the main thing isnt it? Having that "moment". When you realize that not only do you HAVE to change, you WANT to change. And more important you have to know you CAN change and when you do, try not to kick yourself in the butt for waiting like I did...lol

  • All diets work and NO diet works. Everyone is different. get 10 people on 10 different diets and 9 of them may lose weight and 1 may not. Switch them around and you will have the same result. You must start your quest by asking yourself if you are really ready to do it, then you must go out and find what works for you. It…

  • Awesome job! When I started I was on Nexium for nightly bouts of Acid reflux. Since I have started I havent taken my pills and have gone a month and a 1/2 with out even a twinge of acid. So hoping it will lower my BP a little too.

  • CoCoMa...may I remind you I am male and as any woman will tell you we have not evolved at all..lol Swordsmith, I agree completely. I do Cardio everyday except Sunday. I lift weights everyday, but each muscle group actually every other day. M-T-W Arms/Legs and T-T-S Chest Shoulders and Back. ABS M-W-F

  • LOL....my wife says that every morning...and this past week I was ready to agree. I am still losing inches but not weight. (btw, I dont have periods, lol). Finally after 6 days of up and back I am down 1..not great considering how much I was losing. The worst part? This was my first week on a "diet" where I watched what I…

  • Im 48. The people working out with me are 42, 43 and 15. On the bike, usually keep steady pace at between 9-10mph and every 5 minutes bump it up to 14-15 for one minute, 30 minutes total. On the treadmill I usually walk at about 3-3.2 and every 5 minutes do 60 seconds at between 4.5-5mph. Right now all exercises are…

  • I think I may be about 180 degrees different. I have had people tell me they noticed but when I look in the mirror I see the old me. But my clothes fit so much better (even after going from 38's which were too small to 36 which are getting too big) that I just keep motivated to lose till "I" notice. And since I went from…

  • Well as I said, I was pretty strict in cutting out the good stuff, but it was hard and I saw a great benefit in the beginning. This last week I only lost 2 lbs (which I KNOW is good) but it was a little disheartening after do many good weeks. So after weighing in on Saturday I decided to try this three day diet. So This…

  • Are you doing Cardio before strength training? I did a lot of research and "most" of them say that for weight loss, cardio first is best. Of course that is probably not the same for everyone, as I said, "Most" of them say that. One thing I would not cut out is the weight training. Muscle burns more calories than fat and…
    in Help! Not losing weight! Comment by txgator July 2011
  • Thanks. That was the conclusion I reached too (Weight loss is primary till I get to 185) although I have lost close to 4" in my waist and if I can get back into 32's as comfortably as my old 36's (nice and loose) before I hit 185 I will be quite happy and probably stop or at least switch focus. But I have to get below 200.…

  • Great tips. I dont eat diet anything. My fruits of choice are Cantaloups, Bananas and Apples. I will definetely get some yogurt too and start drinking some whole milk instead of 2%. It just seems so counter intuitive that I have to eat more to lose...lol

Other than icing, the one thing thats helps most are Icy Hot patches. I stick them over the areas that hurt and then wrap loosely right before bed and 9 times out of 10 I wake up…
