Just stop. Look at yourself and just ask how could you let this get out of control. feel the heaviness you feel and think of a feather. Feel the fatigue. Its hell feeling that way! You must get so angry with your ways and be disgusted with your habits may possibly one or a part of how you can move on. You can pray about…

Quite true. You can a lead a hors to water but you can make it drink. I think that can apply here to in the sense that he can ignore you getting obese because he just loves you for who you are and how IS THAT supposed to help out let alone strangers who love fitness and support you if your husband isn't enough?? He should…

Excllent job! Woman with kids who are losing weight need special praise and need it often for the hard wok they went through!!! well done, well done to all who have done this. it is very important to stay in shape and stay out the doctors office.

I admire your honesty about yourself because too many woman feel being bigger woman is ok-well it is-if you want to die early and if you can help it that is strictly in those terms is what i meant..Vanity wise it shouldn't matter what size you are he should love you unconditionally. A bigger woman IS ok but their is a…

I don't think you need this man in your life and consider it a lesson shall we. First think beyonce's lyrics- if you liked it then you (emphasize next word) SHOULDAH put a ring on it. Like one lady said you need to walk out and get the juiciest burger you can find and then start an awesome weightloss journey where no one…

://www.womenarehungry.com/ Is about a woman struggling with the numbers on a scale and her journey-very inspirational, my fitness pal shared today and i think it fits the topic.

I did say my piece but I had left out one thing and that is another question. Doesn't society judge one another the first 2 minutes they meet? A true statement! l mean look at speed dating. I never been to one but you have a certain amount of time to decide if the person in front of you passes all of your standards. But…

hmmmmm I do think he is in the wrong in some way but not in all ways..do i think he is a jerk no i don't and i will get back lash from you guys for that but i don't see it maybe because i grew u with guys like this in family. Guys should love a womb unconditionally. But that doesn't give a one way ticket to harm your body…

Yea it is never healthy to lose more than 1 -2 pounds a week. It will reek havoc on your body. Slower is far better because you will render the weight loss permanently! I do bet you will be quitting smoking soon? It defeats the purpose :) I know the feeling though as I used to smoke heavy for 4 -6 years(chain smoker) I…

I will have to agree with Lynx. 1,300 is def. too little for ya. I can't eat 2000 calories-I just don't get hungry to eat that much….. I would not go so low…i was just usin me as an example and me being a female has to be put into perspective for sure. If you start building up your core first with pushups and planks you…

Your metabolism is how much you can burn the food you are consuming with out lifting your finger to play video games or just sitting on the couch:) To increase your metabolism a way that i have known to is by running for 30 seconds as if your LIFE depended upon it and slow down to a walking pace-do this as long as you can…

Im with some of the others. You must ultimately try and find what you feel you can handle when it comes to strength training or plain cardio or both….But me….When its a workout day, I try to only drink before my workout some green or black tea(prefer green). I then eat my breakfast immediately after. You don't necessarily…

Step up by papa san it has a real zumba feel all over it. Don't even have it on mp3 but will soon!<3 it that and got to love you by sean paul!

I think all this is wonderful to hear, because 1 your becoming aware instead staying blind to what we could become if we are not careful. 2. because its helping to motivate you change something for the positive. 3. your view of yourself should be more positive as you notice changes and things shift. you may think hmm i…

This is what I do but then does one double fist through an entire run holding water in one and pepper in the other? maybe so, but it just seems like it would weigh me down. I'm going to try it today. I can't have pepper spray hidden away, or on a key chain-its useless that and a dead give away (no pun intended) when you…

I know but I think her internet lagged. This happens to me too often to not see it miles away. I don't think it was intentional. One can't delete posts on here i don't think either. well idk how to. I just edit my comment and delete the words and i tried to spot the remove reply button and i still don't know where it is.…

This all the way when I run on the treadmill; good music tuned in like upbeat fast light tropical techno(zumba:)???) along with good settings, I can fix the crave my hips get when it's raining cats and dogs outside or just not feeling the outdoors:)it can be nice if you have the music for it:)

See now I love the treadmill. I love the outdoors more though, but, there's times in the season where the bugs won't have any mercy and, before i got married i was running outside (no gym or money) I had no choice anyways I must have eaten like 6 gnat-like- bugs on this trail at a campus i visited. I laugh now but it was…

Bumping to move away my replies?:)

I hope that wasn't strictly to me:) because I very well know what they are just cause i don't explain everything in my replies doesn't mean idk if that wasn't to me ok that is fine and I didn't know.

You have my full support woman! Cheers for not getting the surgery and I also have nothing against those who get it done a recent friend that split from me for other reasons had it done and she is in her 30's! So good on you we need a new pic hey hey?

@ wendy, that I do agree! but it won't be your true TDEE. Your true tdee, is the level of you being active correspondence for a lack of a better word to your height and weight and what your body requires with NO further activities which I am sure most of us know this, but yes, if you want to lose weight then "lowering"…

My fitness pal is awesome though. Although, I could do it without it, but having it in my life is such great helper. I find it keeps me more accountable, but yeah I agree with everyone that one should stop when they feel they are ready:):smile:

What is that quote??? to master others is power but to master oneself is true strength yup I second that discipline is king and hence why moderation IS key. You can really go as far as you need to with this app, but the more will you have created for yourself the more independent you are from my fitness pal. Clean eating…

Its not wishful thinking or confusion dear. It is what I typed it to be. I am near my goal weight so what I am doing works for me. And it makes sense when you think about it. Im new to TDEE but you need to move more not less. Knowing by heart, how many calories the food YOU eat helps most. And stay away from the middle of…

THIS---^ Exactly. I mean if you can RECOUNT your daily foods when you were losing weight---that is what you need to eat all the time without any extra activity to maintain weight. Makes sense if you think about it. If you like adventure with your food like I do. Then calorie counting is a MUST. And if your not like us(who…

Snacking unhealthy food is not so bad. you CAN have anything as long as its in moderation. And i have a hubby who is not on a diet and will get pop but just cause its their, you don't have to drink it. And on having healthy snack options idea is GREAT. But sometimes those cravings stick around long after you have eaten the…

I think the best way is to just avoid buying it in the first place and if you must have some, make a pit stop for a single serving only, that way when its gone -its REALLY gone!! I used to do that and love how that worked and still do occasionally-you get your fix and you move on-no more temptation than you can…

I give in haha I try to pick and nibble and focus on only my snacky meaning no tv or texting or computer screens just my snacks and me because once its gone its on my hips and i want to make that sucker count but I do keep portion in mind and thats why I pick but not as often as I just have a piece and let myself enjoy:)…

I should have just quoted this from the get go- If i am fab and fit in my 80's i would be one trashy person rocking bling on my tummy and cute beach outfit on the beach yeserz
