A diet consisting of high fat, sugar, sodium and alcohol compounded over the years will eventually result in serious health problems. I think you realize this. Why else would you be introducing healthier options? I suspect that you are able to maintain this lifestyle because you are single. Would you recommend a junk food…

If she's insecure, she probably prefers having a less attractive friend by her side. If you've always been over-weight during your friendship, chances are that she received the lions share of attention and compliments and never had to compete with you. Now that you're losing weight, it sounds as if she views you as a…

I agree with the other posters....sounds as if you are over-doing it. Best to start an easy exercise routine and work your way up. Walking, beginners yoga, or body sculpting might be more suitable exercise for you. I like to attend AquaFitness classes because exercising in the pool is much more comfortable.

Aqua Fitness has far too many benefits to list ! For best results find a class where the teacher is qualified instructor. If in doubt, ask. Years ago I was told that swimming and water aerobics would not burn fat because of the body reaction to the cold water temperature (resistance to hypothermia) and the because it…

Tell your friend that you'll be at the gym during a certain time doing a specific routine and that she's welcome to join you. End of conversation. If she offers an alternative plan, just say no. If she does come to join you but decides to quit early, let her go. Eventually she'll realize that you're not an ideal partner…

I think you need to ask yourself some questions and try to visualize what the end of this journey looks like. Are you subconsciously afraid to reach the finish line? if so, why? Will you get less attention or support from friends and family members once you reach your goal ? What will you focus on once your weight is no…

Changing my lifestyle meant weeding out unhealthy activities and individuals associated with them. When I told friends and co-workers that I'd no longer be available for certain activities some understood my decision and were very supportive---others were not. Those who enjoyed excessive eating and drinking every weekend…

You are correct. Unlike alcohol or cigarettes, you cannot avoid food. You HAVE to eat. Read some addiction literature and think about your issues. Counselling may help you understand your behaviour. Many women struggle to take care of others first and feel guilty or selfish when they focus on themselves. I too have a…

Are consuming less than 1200 calories per day and burning more than half thru daily exercise ?? If so, I suspect that your body is storing the limited amount of calories it receives as a survival tactic. If you insist on exercising so vigorously, you'll need to add more calories to your diet so you body has fuel to burn.…

I bought myself an inexpensive bead bracelet and wear it every day. Each time I look at it and fondle it, it reminds me of the reasons WHY I want to lose weight. Having a physical reminder seems to help me whenever I start to lose focus. My friends and I created a weight-loss support group and meet every week to weigh in.…
