This is what my doctor and research taught me. Set a calorie goal for yourself to lose weight then stay at that goal. If you exercise to burn some of it off, you need to eat that much back to keep net calories the same. For example, my BMR is over 2800 (calories burned per day just by existing). My calorie goal is 1200 per…

I started my health program in April and turned 40 in May. In 4 months, I have lost almost 60lbs & went down 2-3 clothing sizes. I have had the help of medication from my doctor, but I'm sensitive to it and have had so many issues and been on and off it several times already that I doubt its really doing much for me. I'm…

I completely understand your enthusiasm! The first time I really noticed a difference is when I could put my steering wheel down into normal position. For the last decade I had to keep it tilted to its highest point, now its two notches down to low. Like you, my next step is to move that seat forward, just a little longer!…

Totally agree with this! For me, the more I don't think about it and just distance myself mentally from the process, the easier it is. I don't have cravings, I don't care what others eat around me, I'm not even tempted. Its been 2 whole months - the longest I've ever maintained a diet - and I'm still going strong!

I was glad to see this post. I am 5'3" and my highest weight was 341lbs. I joined a medical weight loss clinic, found a medication that works without making me sick. I've been in the program for 45 days, turned 40 last weekend and have lost 26 pounds so far. I'm eating healthier than I ever have in my life and I feel…

I'm in a medical weight loss program with an obesity doc and nutritionist. I've got over 200 pounds to lose total, but first goal is 120 pounds in a year. My personal first goal is to get under 300 and I'm almost there. Been 45 days and I've lost 26 pounds. Doc has me on some meds, had a bad reaction to the first meds and…

We don't have one up here. I live in Chino Valley, up by Prescott. Far as I know we don't have a good farmers market of any kind. If I want organic, we have Trader Joes or Natural Grocers, otherwise its the usual grocery stores. Trader Joe's isn't too bad for the organic stuff, but for regular produce, prices in general…

I've been "dieting" all my life with no success. Finally got serious and joined a medical program where I have to check in. I just had my check in and lost 10lbs in the first week just by changing my diet! I'm on a 1200 calorie diet with LOTS of water and with the drugs, its been real easy so far. So excited! I have a desk…

I am in a medical weight loss program and consult weekly with a doctor and a nutritionist is available when I need her. He told me that exercise is great for building muscle and toning, but if you're specifically looking to lose weight, its all about the calories. Not even about the fat or the carbs... even those all boil…

Really? You think so? I'm always saying how much more expensive produce is here than in Indiana. I figured maybe they have to import it. You dont see veggie farms out here like you do in Indiana. Fresh food seems (meat/fruit/veggies) seems 3x the cost here! Wierd, maybe Ohio is higher cost of living than Indiana. Who knew?…
