  • Weight loss is about food, not about exercise. Weight loss can be achieved without exercise. I can say that because I have lost weight without exercising. 46 pounds. Shortly after I started my weight-loss program, I got injured and any exercise was out of question. I continued with eating habits changes that I implemented.…

  • Thank you all for responding to my post. I will probably disappoint my virtual friends here. This is a special time of the year for my family and I decided not to frustrate myself with conflicting emotions for the next two days. I rationalized to myself that since weight-loss came relatively easy to me, it wouldn’t be a…

  • Thank you all for responding to my post. Your responses gave me enhanced understanding of the water drinking importance in our mutual situation. Appreciate that you shared what works for you. Your ideas will help me do better with making sure to drink enough water - a task that may appear to be simple and easy to perform.…

  • Hi Paula! Being a parent is the most important job we have. After a child is born we become non-selfish individuals. When the baby cries, we get up no matter how exhausted we are, pick him/her up and keep carrying the baby until he/she is ready to go back to the crib – we think. I know the feeling when we think the baby…

  • I don’t think that making up is a good idea. If you do something different tomorrow or next two days then you will have more days out of sync from what has been working for you. Besides learning a lesson and trying to be stronger next time, I wouldn’t do anything else.
    in making up for going over calories? Comment by mrk34 April 2011
  • Alcohol does not support weight-loss. Two reasons. It slows the fat burning process and adds empty calories. Alcohol is a concentrated source of calories. It has 7 calories per gram. Only fat has more calories per gram than alcohol – 9 per gram. So alcohol will be a deviation from your road to weight-loss objective. When I…

  • Weight loss can be achieved without exercise. I injured my knee and could not exercise, but was happy to see that I kept losing weight. I researched this issue and found out that what was happening to me was nothing unusual. Being active and exercise is great for our health but in terms of pounds, exercise contributes a…

  • I try to think about why I started losing weight and what the alternative will be if I don’t keep trying.

  • Pepperidge Farm whole grain bread. One slice is 1.5 oz, has 100 calories, dietary fiber 4g.

  • I get my proteins from 99% fat free turkey breast. 2 slices (56g/2oz) of this turkey breast have 50 calories, 0.5 gram of fat and 11 gram of protein (22% of daily value - %DV). I eat 4 or 6 slices. My second source of protein is grilled chicken breast salad (similar numbers). When possible I eat fish instead of grilled…

  • I agree with the article. We don’t have to exercise to lose weight. I can state that because I have lost weight without exercising. Shortly after I started my weight-loss program, I got injured and any exercise was out of question. I was desperate and thought that my chances for weight-loss were reduced to zero. Concerned…
