i will be sure to look into that book!

also if there are any free workouts people suggest it would be greatly appreciated!!!

oh on another note i am on a diet and hoping to lose 12ish more pounds to be at my ideal weight...i understand that muscle weighs more than fat and that the scale is not what i use to see muscle gain vs fat loss

yeah, but that was such an adventure lol...

originally at 208 lbs, want to stay between 140 and 145...i look best there, any lower i look skeleton like, any higher i pudge out...currently 148ish

i was able to solve my original problem (gonna make mini pizzas with pineapple peppers and onions)...now my problem is trying to keep myself from snacking...i want all the chips and cakes and cookies and and and...all of it...but when the hubby and daughter asks for brownies and cake and then DONT EAT THEM and the…

in general...could be weight loss, job related, home related, car related, pet related...whatever

i do cereal with 1/2 cup 1% milk (i have a variety in the house), oatmeal, egg whites on toast (sometimes with bacon), homemade waffles, fruit salad some mornings if i have it, bagels with cream cheese, granola bars every once in a while...my breakfasts are usually under 200 cals (mostly around 150)

im not sure how long her "runs" are...if they are anything like we used to do (4-5 mile stretches) then i have no idea where the energy to do them is coming from...but i digress, i keep shaking my head at all she told me yesterday...im so glad to have started my weight loss journey the way my doctor advised

im going to keep being supportive in a healthy way and not get overbearing...what advice she takes, she takes...hopefully in time she will see the error of this, and hopefully before she cause real damage to herself

as someone who has known her for years i dont want to see her hurt herself, but on the other hand she has never been one to listen to advice (about anything from anyone)...it makes me sad

that is why i didnt try to argue the facts with her..

i know i should let it roll off me like water...people just being ignorant i suppose

fruits and veggies...there are low cal granola bars (under 100) and low cal snack packs...air popped popcorn, 6 cups of unseasoned is about 180 cals and thats a lot of popcorn!...2 scrambled egg whites with a chopped green onion is only about 50 cals (not sure on exact because im not looking directly at it)...just some of…

i know it isnt safe to lose weight too quickly...i lost 60ish pounds in a little over a year last time (healthily and with consent from my doctor) and managed to maintain for a year without counting cals but then started stress eating things like sweets and chips due to bad things happening and decided to make a…

like i said i couldnt remember! thanks for replying! i think i may start eating more peanut butter to help boost the amount

and other than the *usual* milk in the morning i drink nothing but water...i dont really like soda and hardly ever drink juice or coffee (black)

oh and i do eat breakfast (usually cereal and milk, occasionally pancakes or eggs), lunch (leftovers from dinner before or chicken nuggets with my daughter), and dinner (betty crocker helpers with veggies, dishes made with rice, fish or chicken) plus 2-3 snacks (fruit, carrots, or airpopped popcorn) in-between...just to…

i am new as well, just joined today...i need to lose about 7ish more pounds to my goal weight (lost 56lbs in 9 months)...so i know how you feel
