My dad lost 60 lbs. on Nutrisystem. It worked great for him - I tried it and lost pretty fast at the beginning, but I think you have to be very disciplined for the program - it is really easy to eat too little calories. I think that's what happened to me, plus, I didn't love the food. Once you try some stuff, you find what…

Ok, has anyone gotten to the "advanced step aerobics"? It actually got considerably faster and I am considering counting it as "low impact aerobics", what do you think?

You know how you can eat a few bites of something that you know you shouldn't and then sometimes you just don't log it and try to pretend it didn't happen? (Liars - I know you do it too :angry: ) Well, sometimes, I do a little extra exercise like strength training and don't log under calorie burning too, it makes me feel…

If I don't eat my exercise calories, I don't lose anything. Be careful, you may go into another plateau after you lose a couple of "shocker pounds" if you are not eating enough (net calories I mean).

No kidding about the abs! Best ab workout I've ever done. What is a "Wii #"?

have you gotten to the level that you can go for 10 min. yet? I did yesterday and got 3800 spins!!!!!

I had no idea they had requirements like this. Do you have a deadline?

don't know about that specific brand, but most red's have between 100-120 cals for a 5oz glass

My husband wants to go to the grocery store and get a slice of THE BEST cake with frosting - I'm sure it must have about 1000 calories per slice, so does anyone have any other ideas for me (around 250 calories?) that I can get that's already baked/made from a grocery store?

I know what you mean. I used to wear Asic's (sp?) and just realized that they were WAY too narrow for me, I bought some Addidas Running shoes and they are so much more comfortable it's not even funny. My feet used to fall asleep on my eliptical, now I can barely tell I am wearing shoes at all.

I know what you mean, 1200 calories isn't much - I at 1/2 of a personal pizza from pizza hut and 2 breadsticks for lunch yesterday and it was like 700 calories already!:explode: But, I guess I would agree with ojo, I exercise more to eat more and try to choose your calories wisely - those breadsticks were disgusting anyway…

When I do the boxing on the Wii Fit, I put in "boxing, punching bag" for exercise.

I do have the Wii Fit. I LOVE IT! I have lost 2.4 lbs and .39 BMI since I got it 8 days ago. You have to understand, I haven't lost 1 lb in MONTHS - so this is GREAT! I'm not saying that all of my loss has come from the Wii Fit, I work my BUTT OFF, I do Wii Fit for about 35 min. per day and do another 45min. - 1 hr in…

ditto

I am happy to say that mine has decreased .39 since I bought my Wii Fit!: (10 days ago?) drinker: :drinker:

are you talking about wii fit?

I don't know, Atkins is based on protein right? I always heard that protein is good, it helps burn fat

Naked grilled Fajita's sound kinda good to me. gill a chicken breast with a little fajita seasoning, if you have a grill basket slice some green and red bell peppers and onion and tomato to grill in that with a little more of the seasoning top with a little cheese, guac if you can afford the calories i don't use any oil…

buy something to make or buy something pre-made?

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Fortunately, you don't have much to lose and you may be an active person in general which may change your metabolism from others who may be less active to begin with. If you have ever tried to lose A LOT of weight and gotten down pretty far, you realize VERY QUICKLY that you…

I was just given this book from my church! I haven't read it yet, looks good

I don't know about menopause yet, but I'm sure as a woman, you still retain water easily - right? I have a scale that measured my water weight % and love it, you can get them pretty cheaply now if you think it might help, it has me.

One of my favorite books ever. Also fav's: The Kite Runner, The Alienist, A Thousand Splendid Suns

Don't ask me, this happens to me CONSTANTLY! I guess this is why you probably shouldn't weigh yourself every day. I have a hard time not weighing every day though, because if I DO lose, it is really motivating! Plus I want to make sure I don't get out of control for the rest of the week. But, maybe we should wait a while.…

I know exactly what you mean about feeling better when you don't eat junk. I think part of the problem is that you eat junk, then feel gross, which makes you feel bad about yourself, which makes you say "oh, forget it", which makes you eat more junk, which makes you feel bad. . . . . .anyway that's what happens to me. You…

sorry, just had to try it

I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that Circuit City doesn't presell their items, so if you go on a shipment day and get there early, you should be able to get one. If you are really obsessed, you can get it at amazon.com for about 1/2 again the cost.:ohwell:

original 158 current 141 4th goal 132 overall goal 130

when you run, you do it with the remote in your pocket on the floor. you play soccer kind of, head the ball when it comes at you - it is a balance game THE BEST

What is your single best piece of advise for those trying to lose weight and become healthier? Mine: Find something that gets your mind off of food - stop thinking about it constantly, even if it is planning for healthy meals. Too much thinking leads to too much creativity, then too many calories!
