go to shrinkyourself.com I found a lot of answers to my "whys" there. Next, found out I'm starving myself. by liimiting number of calories my body is in starvation mode and i don't have energy to swim, run, bike, or take care of my house/kids/husband. much as it was counterintuitive, i upped the cals and shall see if it…

awesome

ACK!! LOOKING AT my smartphone, I see I performed an internet search about SNORING (as in stopping your husband from doing so) at 1:30, 2, and 3:20 this morning. Sleep deprivation stinks.

I've gone back and forth on this one and there's only one thing I know for certain: it's personal. One size does not fit all. I do think it gets to be a little much when people obsess over whether to weigh before or after exercise, peeing, drinking water and so forth--it's a progression, and the minute deviations…

friend me!

Wonderful number one: YAY Wonderful number two: YAY and find me one

I know quite a bit about this. You should not wear your HRM unless you are doing low weight/high rep cardio training workout. If you are doing strength training, take off the HRM, period. the HRM is meant to measure your CARDIO workout only. If you measure your strength training, you are getting a terribly inaccurate…

I'm 52, I'll be in your group....have all of the aforementioned issues,

yay for you! so glad, I am honestly living vicariously through your post right now

I know what you mean. several years ago, i heard a doctor on television say something like this. he said that people are either in full calorie counting mode or no calorie counting mode. he used this example: when you have a meal while fully engaged, you will not eat the cheeseburger, the bun, the corn or vegetables with…

My old trainer gave me this advice and it REALLY WORKS. Make yourself UNCOMFORTABLE. Go, right this minute, and do one or more of these: Try on your old bathing suit. Go bathing suit shopping. Go clothes shopping, Try on clothes at a department store. Go meet old high school or college friend. Go look at yourself in your…

Both. I think no matter what people's opinions may be, the most effective way to lose weight is a combination of fewer calories ingested and more calories expended.

Adding a one-day calorie boost with a major exercise boost and 2x usual water shakes me up in three days. I've lost the same 75 pounds a half-dozen times, so I'm getting pretty good at losing it. The bad thing is I'm doing pretty good at putting it back on, too, :-) But seriously, eating a boost of calories and burning…

You can do it! I was you not too long ago. If there is one thing to remember, it's this: THIS IS NOT ABOUT PERFECTION. IT IS ABOUT PROGRESS.

I am 52, but like many different kinds of music. some of my favorites are: 867-5309 WHITE WEDDING barbie girl beat it born to be wild call the ships to port cathedral anything abba cleveland rocks come on feel the noise EASY LIVIN' by uriah heep **fave** field of opportunity (not because it's rocking fast, just because it…

THE STORY OF MY LIFE!!!! A guy who does personal training once told me about a "cure" for what he calls "weight contentment." Do one of these asap: Go to a department store or the mall and try on clothes. Look at them in the 3-way mirror. Go to your closet and try on clothes from when you were thinner. Go put on your…

Every time I hear about a new diet I want to try it. i've learned that it's not a good idea but want to. I always go to chasingfreedom.com to read the reviews of every diet nkown to man. Love their reviews.

good luck and stick with it!

couple of things: have you gone back and changed your "goal" to refelect your new weight? Calorie requirements go down as your weight goes down (boo hoo). Hormones. Water--enough? salt. there could be changes in your system and you are retaining salt. water helps that, too. too much artificial sweetner. maybe you are doing…

I was new last week! I HAVE FOUND HEAVEN by finding this site. check here as often as possible!

Good for you! I guarantee you will feel better and your cravings for all food will ease. I will tell you my experience--it may not be yours, but for what it's worth, here goes: I started cutting out all sugar 10 years ago. I did the atkins diet, and while I did not stay on that eating plan, I did notice a big difference in…

THANK YOU SUNCHILD and good luck on your cool career! I was in TV in manhattan, know what? the stress is what i blame for using food for recreational purposes/to feel good

wow, you can tell! way to go! tell me what you are doing

Not offensive on here. Kind of "braggy" on FB. Saw an old friend's underwear pic--she "accidentally" uploaded onto FB...and even though she looks better than a supermodel, i was kind of embarrassed for her because so many people thought she was showing off.
