Buy some 'healthy' treats for yourself. When you're tempted to dip into Mom and Dad's Chips Ahoy.....grab a healthier alternative (fruit, yogurt, skinny cow ice cream). or Eat what they have IN MODERATION - 2 or 3 cookies will not kill you and you can easily make it fit into your calories. or Get Mom and Dad onboard with a…

^^^^This!! Very good advice! You're not fat. You look fantastic. Maybe 125 is an unrealistic goal? It's just a number.

No, the Adkins bar won't stall your weight loss as long as it's fitting into your calorie goal. However, you're 5'4" approximately 125 pounds according to your ticker? Your body is at a healthy weight. Instead of focusing on weight loss, think about body composition. Start lifting heavy weights to make those changes in…

Ladies!!!....shopping is NOT an exercise!!

You're eating too much. 2000 calories a day and eating back the exercise calories burned. There's just not enough of a deficit there. Drop your calories to 1600-1700. Re-evaluate your logging accuracy, buy a food scale if need be. Start doing some serious strength training. 56 pound lost is great! And still way ahead of…

Yogaworks Beginners am/pm DVD - it's excellent!
-
Any workout is better than no workout, so once you get cleared from the Doctor start moving! 30DS is a nice DVD, but I found it a bit to hard on my knees to do more than 2 times a week...so I would do other workouts in between those days. After such a big weight loss you would probably benefit the most from 'the new rules…

Looking at your diary - the first thing that caught my notice was HUGE calorie burns from exercise. Are you training for a marathon? Do you wear a HRM? What are you counting as exercise and how are you calculated it? It seems like you could be overestimating.

"Hello. I think some of the reason why it's hard for me to lose weight is bec of psychological issues which I will discuss over with a counselor."................... I think you should have stopped typing after the above sentence and went and made a appointment with the counselor.

LOL :laugh: :laugh:

Magic pills!!!!!!!! Silly me......I thought I had to eat healthy and exercise!

HUH??? Black coffee has ZERO calories. I does not hinder weight loss because.........it has zero calories. Even if you put a bit of cream and sugar in your coffee you'll lose weight. Weight loss is about calorie deficit - log everything you eat and stay in your calorie goal and you'll lose weight.

WALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And don't shy away from your workout DVD - use modifications, less range of motion, take a break by walking in place...but just get out there and try it and have fun. Also - Leslie Sansone has great low impact workouts!! The path to fitness starts with a simple walk!!!!!
-
It's easy to find excuses...been there done that! Work out when the kids go to bed - it may actually make you sleep better. You never know unless you try. Or get up early and do it. Also - tons of free workouts on youtube!!! I love the Jessica Smith ones!! You can also get some Leslie Sansone workouts for free on youtube.…

1200 calories a day is not enough (don't feel like getting into the specifics, do a search of the forums and read up on why 1200 is too few). Bump up your calories to at least between 1300-1600, it's healthier and more sustainable. Toss out the idea of 'diet' and all the restrictions that come along with 'diets'. Such as…

This post is making my head hurt. I eat dinner every night between 8 or 9 pm.....most nights I'm sound asleep by 10. It's never hurt or hindered my progress eating a full meal before bed. I guess I'm a special snowflake!

Stop trying to lose weight and start working on body composition. This means eat more, switch to maintenance calories and eat a lot of protein. Ditch the long cardio sessions and replace with shorter sessions..HIITS are best (high intensity interval training). Ditch the 'mat exercises' and replace with a real strength…
-
Well - a few things. 1 - There is no shame in rest and recovery days, they are healthy and beneficial, it does a body good! 2 - Also it's not necessary to workout everyday for general physical fitness.... although getting a walk in or something light on a 'off' day is good! 3 - It also depends on what type of workouts…
-
1200 isn't enough calories. You can up that amount to between 1300 - 1600 and still lose weight. And it's a way more sustainable approach to weight loss.....you won't be starving and you'll have plenty of nutrition to fuel your workouts.
-
No. But I've tried healthy eating and working out and it works awesomely :bigsmile:
-
I feel your pain! My boyfriend has no interest in healthy eating or exercise. It's hard to stay on track when they're on a different track lol. But unfortunately you can't change them. He has to want to do it on your own. I've learned to just go ahead and do my thing, find the motivation within yourself and don't let…

Not another Dr. Oz post???? All together now, repeat after me - Dr. Oz panders to women who are looking for quick fixes, short cuts, miracle pills and fad diets. Those things do not work. Not only do they not work....they drain your pocket book. The best way to get fit and stay fit is to commit to a healthy lifestyle, eat…

Jessica Smith TV.....she's got a ton of vids on youtube, fun with lot's of variety. Also some of Leslie Sansone's workouts are available on youtube, and Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown (love this workout!)
-
At the risk of sounding insensitive - stop being so dramatic. You feel like giving up and what?? Gain a whole bunch of weight so you tip the scales at 190++ or whatever INSTEAD of your current weight of 130ish. You look healthy and fit. Set goals, work hard if you want to see some changes in your body. Focus on body…

Also opening up your diary will help you get more constructive feedback :flowerforyou:
-
The changes you've made to your lifestyle are excellent!! Good job!! Here's the most important thing - you have to stay within your calorie goal CONSISTENTLY. You can eat clean, workout, do all the right things but if you're still consuming too many calories you won't get results. So I would say - PATIENCE. Pick your…

This post makes me want to run to Starbucks for a LATTE!!!! :drinker:

We can't help without seeing your diary!

None of this is going to be spot on. Just like the estimation of calorie intake isn't 100% accurate, the estimation of calories burned isn't 100% accurate, your estimated tdee isn't 100% accurate. There's a margin of error in the whole process. It's just meant to be a guideline, a starting point. If you find that eating…

My advise is quit focusing on a arbitrary number on the calendar. Take one day at a time, make that day awesome, focus on health, well-being and fitness. It's a lifestyle...it doesn't end with a date on the calendar.
