Haha Awesome!! But it's only redneck if it's got yer name on the back XD

Had the same problem with my Army hubby. I was SO excited about doing a 16 minute mile. (Which for weighing 380lbs at the time is huge) And he was like yeah so what We have to do a 2 mile in less time than that. It just completely squashed my spirits and I wanted to kick him in the shins. I have bad knees from being obese…

mine are bowflex and flowers. Never had a candy bar ad on here lol but keep getting the gastric surgery ads. They make me feel like crap

sorry, Meant to put in my original post. I'm pretty much nocturnal. Stay up all night and sleep during the day. When I'm on my prozac I can't sit still and I'm a housewife so I am just here all the time. When I can't sit still the only other room on the first floor of our house is the Kitchen so I end up eating when I…

I'll have to check that out. My scale I'll tap it, let it zero out, step on and it'll say something like 359.6 I'll tap it again let it zero out step on again and it'll say 351.0. Now I know damn good and well I didn't lose 9 lbs in 3 seconds and this scale does this to me every time I use it. I have gotten to where I just…

I have to step on my scale 3-4 times and go with the figure that shows twice... My scale will say something like 355.2 and then 2 seconds later it'll say 359.8. Now I know I didn't magically gain weight between weighings I hate scales

I usually enter it as Aerobics low impact. not sure if that would be right, But it seemed to be the closest exercise type I could find

Looking good hun!!

Made biscuits once and accidentally used all purpose flour instead of self rising... That made them Crackers that were soo hard They could dent the floor if you dropped them lol

only thing I can think of is weighing the whole thing then weighing the bones after you eat it and subtracting that

I know you're having a hard time, You know I'm up for helping you with whatever workout changes or anything you need. I know it can be hard getting past others losing more quickly than you, but you are doing great!! I'm really proud of how hard you're working

"You could be a model if you lost the weight" Was meant to be a compliment but it made me feel like I'll be ugly as long as I'm overweight and "You could be a female wrestler" Was said by the same person back when China was the ONLY female wrestler and it made me feel like crap. Again meant to be a compliment but still hurt

My aunt's dog was named D.O.G deeohgee lol

LOL To whomever knows what a tricorder is without looking it up. You're awesome.

While in DC if your group is anything like mine, You'll be walking EVERY where EVERY day. So as long as you're not going crazy you should be ok. When I went on a 7 day trip in High School I lost weight and we had Chinese every night if that tells you just HOW much we walked lol

I feel retarded for having to ask, but what does NSV stand for? ETA: Congrats to both of you!

I think you misunderstand what I was saying. I am asking if I should eat 1800 net calories per day (eat back the exercise calories burned) or only do as the Dietitian says and eat 1800 calories period (not eating back Exercise calories and therefore making net calories very low)

That reminds me of an experience I had when I was 12 I went to a nutritionist who told me that "hunger is good. Hunger means your body is burning calories and doesn't mean you should eat." Clarification: When I say "Starvation" mode I mean I was eating an average of 500-700 calories per day and only eating one meal per…

First off, I'd like to wish you good luck. My husband and I have also been trying to get pregnant but My weight, PCOS and High blood pressure have all been an issue for us so Hopefully Losing the weight will fix the baby makers so to speak and We'll finally have some success. Secondly, Always remember that it is worth the…

ok, Now it's starting to make sense to me. I've got my BMR calculated at 2580 calories per day at 6' tall and 366.2 lbs I just don't want to make my body think it's dying if I keep working out the way I do. I've been at it for a little under a month now and lost a little over 13 lbs

Thank you very much. I'm an Army wife, The dietitian I'm seeing is the one who works at the Army hospital. But you're right, I'll have to see if she can explain to me why I shouldn't be calculating my exercise in my calorie intake

When I first went in I was in "starvation" mode. 1800 calories is still alot of calories for me to eat, But even after I have started working out between 1000 and 1500 calories per day She still says not to eat back my exercise calories

Thanks for the tip. Haven't tried doubling up with two different styles of sports bras. Will have to try that one later today. Been trying to do the Biggest Loser challenge workouts on the wii. The jumprope and jogging hurt my chest and there is no way to skip the exercise :(

lol I had something similar happen when I forst started working out. Never workout on the treadmill next to the stair stepper at an Army Gym unless you want a soldier to use it as a "stare" stepper

They only go up to 44DD I'm a 46G would going down to that size fit and Still allow me to breathe?

Thank you guys soo much. I'm in a 46g right now and my chest is shrinking but my girls are not... -_-; working out on the elliptical is embarrassing right now lol. I wear the tightest bra I own underneath the tightest belly control tank I own and Still get bruises. I will definitely be looking into the sites you ladies…

My husband is Army, I'll send him a link

I don't know if this is the case for you, But when I was 17 I only ate twice a day, Supper and School lunch and I gained weight like nobody's business. The more often you eat the more your metabolism will raise so if you're noticing you tend to eat 1 or two large meals a day, try doing 2-3 regular meals with small snacks…

another tip, Try a tablespoon of peanut butter or two on whole wheat toast, that's 200-300 calories of good protein and fiber. I have the same problem not eating enough calories and my Dietitian gave me that tip
