I'm really kind of struggling with calories. When I lost my first 10 lbs, I was eating 1,200 calories a day and walking every day. I was not eating my exercise calories. Now it seems that I am constantly hungry at 1,200 calories. Even at maintenance calories, I can always eat more. It's like I just want to binge every day…

What tests did the doctor run you through? I am well aware that he is gonna probably want to do blood work and a CT scan to make sure it is nothing serious. Anything else that the doc did to you? Just curious...

Thanks everyone.. I've always heard that drinking too much caffeine will give you headaches. But at the same time, meds like excedrin migraine have caffeine in them because in moderation, it should help get rid of them, too. I used to be an avid pop drinker...I never drank anything but Dr. Pepper. It was my love lol. But…

Okay...so some questions. I've talked to a few people about it since last night and it's raised a few questions. Some people say I don't need to waste money on a gym and to just buy some weights and do it at home. Thoughts or opinions? I'm not going to the gym for social motivation, that's for sure. If I could go without…

Are the results in your profile pic from the other one you have in a bikini? How often do you go to the gym? May I ask what you're lifting (if that even makes any sense, idk lol)

That's what I want to do is tone - but I just have no idea where to start. I'm not even sure which machine does what! I just hate to go in there with all of these guys and girls who are pros at it and little ole me walks over and starts with the least amount of weight possible. I just feel like it will be a little…

Thanks, everyone! :smile:

Well we are still both young. We are waiting for me to graduate college (getting an MBA of Accounting to be a CPA) so we can be stable, afford a house and whatever we please before we get married.

We have this thing where he put his arms out in a big circle and I twirl around inside his arms like a ballerina without touching him at all lol. I can easily get my arms around him, but I don't think he will ever grow smaller in this aspect. He is naturally a big guy - wide shoulders, big chest, and big arms! He played…

Lol, I do, but she is married. Sorry!

Alrighty, I think I've got this. Tell me if I'm missing something... (1) More sex (2) More BJ's (3) Tell him I want him (4) Even more sex (5) Tell him he's hot (6) A little more sex :tongue: I'll try all of these tonight haha

I like eggs and thought about eating a couple hard boiled eggs for breakfast, but what can I eat with it to make it hold me over longer? I'm not a fan of toast at all, so that's kind of out of the picture.

I'm just afraid that if I up the sex with him or something all of a sudden, he will think I'm more attracted to him since he has lost weight. I'm afraid I will be indirectly saying that if you gain weight back, I won't have sex with you as much because I don't find you as attractive. I don't know. Maybe I'm just over…

Welll..... As far as the "private" things go, yeah, we've been dating for 6 years and that is a pretty routine thing so I don't know how to increase the amount lol. But I guess I can make him feel more special during it lol. I could say sexy things to him but I'm more of a sweet girl than sexy. I blush easily, even 6 years…

Well...it depends on if you're trying to eat healthier and better or just reduce your calories. So far I've just been limiting my calories. I've been pretty much eating whatever I please. It's just, whenever I get to my calorie limit for the day, I stop eating. It's that simple for me. And so far I'm over half way to my…

Woo hoo! Awesome! Keep up the fantastic work! :flowerforyou:

Thanks! I'll watch some YouTube vids on running form and hopefully it'll help me! And thanks for advice about shoes. I don't care to jog down the aisles at the shoe store lol, so I should be good ( :

I usually try to save enough calories for an unhealthy snack lol. Preferrably something with chocolate because I crave sweets. If I don't have something sweet in the evening, I will binge eat something sweet the next day. So I'll have a snack pack chocolate cupcake pudding (100 cal), 1/2 cup chocolate ice cream (120 cal),…

So I just finished Week 1 Day 1 earlier this morning. There are a few concerns... (1) I definitely do not think that I have a good form. I start out slower to pace myself, but my body wants to run faster. I also think that I may be bending my knees a little more than I should and my upper torso tends to bend over my lower…

I wouldn't account for it at all. There really is no way to tell how much you are losing, but just standing there doesn't burn enough to count. That is part of your TDEE calories. Only account calories burned with actual exercise (running, walking, lifting weights, etc.). If you are looking for ways to lose weight,…

I uploaded a pic of what I look like just in case anyone is interested on how my tummy looks

What exactly do you guys mean by strength training exactly? Just lifting weights or what? As far as my stomach goes, I don't want abs. I don't want to be "hard". I just want it to be flat. That's all. Soft, but flat.

Thanks everyone!

No...I do not eat them back. Maybe once a week or so I will eat part of them. I personally feel like it is a waste of time to work out and then eat the calories I burned. If I'm gonna do that, I just won't exercise and eat less calories! Lol.

This is awesome! I started jogging today for the first time, so some on here mentioned C25K, so I downloaded the app and plan on starting Sunday. I'm excited! Your tips are really good, too! It's nice to see someone else on here who just finished it. Hopefully I can finish it, too, and drop some extra weight in the process!

Make sure you are measuring all of your foods properly. You can eat a lot more than you think if you don't measure them. I was actually eating some baked fries for dinner, noticing that 22 fries were the serving. So I proceeded to count out 22 fries. My mom comes over and says, "Are you really going to count those?" I…

Congratulations! Your sister's death must have been an awful experience, but even in death she continues to help you. She was the reason that you really got fed up with your weight and decided to make a change. She, and her offspring, are motivating you to continue your weight loss. Lose that weight and live the life that…

Oh, one more thing... Do you all jog in the winter, too? If so, what do you do to stay warm but not get hot while jogging/running? Winters here can get a little harsh (usually in the mid 20s but can get down in the negatives sometime with quite a bit of snow and ice)

Thanks, everyone. I go walking/jogging between 7-8:30 every morning, depending on if I'm feeling lazy or not lol. And no, I don't eat anything before it. I try to save my calories for later in the day. And it isn't side stitches that I'm feeling - I know what those are! It is more of just a tightness in my muscles in the…

Also... I'm walking a mile in about 16 minutes. I walk/jog a mile in 13 minutes. Does this sound okay or should I be jogging more of the mile than this? I usually walk a block, jog a block. But the blocks here aren't all the same length and size, so it's hard to tell exactly how much of the mile I'm walking and how much of…
