I've had the same kind of day, I'm 500 calories over my limit & I have been doing so well. I don't feel like exercising & I just want to pig out now. But.... it's not worth it! Gonna pull a you tube video of Zumba & burn these extras off. Find something to take your mind off food. Good luck!

I did it back in 2009 & lost 23 pounds in 5 weeks. BUT - I gained it all back when I stopped. Now I'm trying to just balance my foods & lower my portions & have lost 29 pounds, but it's taken me 8 months to do it. I just got way too bored on Atkins.

Body believes you are starving it.. Think of those kids in the commercials who are starving & have the big bellys.... You need to eat 1200 calories & eat at least some of your exercise calories. I am also on WW but quit losing when they went to Points Plus. Been here 3 weeks tomorrow & have lost 6.6 since.

All science says to eat breakfast. Personally I can't- I'm just not hungry till lunch. I've lost 29 pounds so far. A hard boiled egg would be good though 100 calories & protein to start your day.

Wow you have really gotten some wonderful advice here! I have been on Weight Watchers for 8.5 months & had only lost 25 pounds when I hit the plateau that lasted 4 months!! I found this site 2.5 weeks ago & have lost 6.6 since then. What I found was by balancing my nutrients (watching fat, carbs & protein) & trying to keep…

I feel like a shorty at 5' 7" here, lol! I am at 150 now, my goal is 135- I've been down to 126 & I looked sick. Body frame has so much to do with it. I feel good after losing 29 pounds so far & if my hips/thighs were more proportioned to my body I would be fine at this weight. Just go with what feels good!

I do the same thing, only with a 5 minute Zumba you tube video! Dancing is one of the best calorie burners there is!

Mexican food (chips & salsa)!!

Have you had your thyroid checked? A simple blood test is how I found out that was my problem. Going back to eating crappy foods will most likely make you gain the weight back that you have lost. 14 pounds in 3 months is normal by the way.. I've been dieting for 8 months & have only lost 29 pounds so you are ahead of me as…

It's all about portion control. I had the same issue with my hubby (who is a chef) when I first started Weight Watchers 8 months ago. He would get mad if I didn't want to eat what he had cooked.. We worked through it, he now cooks healthier & I eat whatever he cooks, just alot less of it. Depriving yourself is not the…

I'm not physically incapable of exercising, but I have thyroid issues which exhaust me & make it hard for me to exercise. I did lose 25 pounds with no exercise but then plateaued for 4 months (on Weight Watchers)... Found this site 2 weeks ago & started walking & doing Zumba & have lost 6.6 pounds in 2 weeks. Do whatever…

Nikki, are you new to exercising this much? When starting out an exercise program your muscles will hold water sometimes. As long as you are eating healthy and exercising you will both lose weight and tone up. Good luck!

Wow, thanks everyone, I guess I need to get a heart monitor lol!! I can say this, when I'm done I am soaking wet!! I am 5'7" & weigh 150.6.

youtube has several short Zumba video's.. Talk about a calorie burner and fun!!

Personally I like food to much to ever try it! LOL!

Thought I would update you guys since today was my weigh in. 2 weeks on MFP... 6.2 pounds off! This after a 4 month plateau on WW using PP. Also switched back to old WW plan but I stop at either 19 points or 1200 calories (whichever comes first).

1 pound is 3500 calories, so you would have had to have burned 21,000 calories in 1 day to have lost 6 pounds. Are you brand new to diet? I know many people lose a huge amount the first few days of dieting, mostly water because of the shock to the system. I lost 4.8 my first day, but know it wasn't fat loss. It' definately…

I started weight watchers in July 2010 on the Momentum program. Lost 25 pounds in 3 1/2 months. Then when they changed it to Points Plus I plateaued like nobodys business. 12 days ago I found this site & have lost 5 pounds since then. The points plus program where you aren't counting fruit is more calories for me since I…

The effects from taking it, if you plan to eat high fat foods (example pizza) are enough to make you decide to either not take it, or to not eat pizza!

Any of you who haven't already, feel free to add me as a friend on here. I would really like to see your success stories & what does work! To those who have just recently been diagnosed get ready for a roller coaster ride! It takes the doctors awhile to figure out your dosage & they tend to increase it very slowly. After 5…

Dahna, I take Levothyroid, but it doesn't help at all with weight loss. All it really does is help me get through the days ..I really think I need a new doctor & a change in medication. Does Synthyroid work for you?

Hi Guys, thanks for responding! Coco, I think eating less than 1200 is very dangerous- are you actually eating less than that? Why aren't you medicating? I don't mean to be nosey, I just can't imagine feeling like I felt before I started taking thyroid medicine! I am on 1200 calories but I do make sure I hit it every day!…

Don't go too low... I did a low carb diet in 2009 & lost like crazy, but as soon as I stopped I gained it all back plus some. This site actually gives you a carb target which is what I shoot for. You need carbs for energy & metabolisum. I think mine is 165 carbs (not sure exactly without looking) but that is lower than the…

Amazing job! You look fantastic- good luck on continued success!
