I'm not arguing the fact that other things kill people every day.. but obesity is one of the highest. That's why I said it increases the likelyhood of living until your 100.

What do you think is a "sensible" calorie restriction?

I definitely think we should be eating organic products, and no alcohol... which will be tough... and this society makes all of the above.. VERY difficult.

You are definitely right....

THANK YOU!! I completely agree! I am creating my own new personal goal to lose 20 pounds by Christmas, which is a little over 2 pounds per week.

Hi there! I had a baby in January.. and I have been exercising off and on since then. I'll get in a good routine, and then get out of it again. My goal is 50 pounds, or a little more, and I'm starting over today! I'll add you, and we can do it together :)

Thanks to both of you! I have done the walking steps thing before, and it really does help me feel better, I guess I just need to suck it up and do it!! I live in TN so you never know what the weather is going to be like.. but when it's nice, my baby and I will take walks where we live. We are pretty far out into the…

I have a 7 month old daughter. I work full time... have a house to take care of, and not to mention a husband. I got lucky thought, my mother in law keeps my daughter while I work during the week, so on nights that my husband works late (which is alot) I just go for a quick run downtown where I work. We live out in the…

I only gained 14 pounds when I was pregnant, and my baby came out at a healthy 8 pds 15 ounces! You dn't have to eat extra calories the first two trimesters, only the last one really, and it's about 300 calories.. but.. enjoy yourself when pregnant! Don't be thinking to hard about yourself, juse remember healthy foods for…

Victoria, I'm Kayla. I am also an emotional eater. I have found, though, that if I keep healthy things in my house, and at work, if I get emotional, it's okay if I decide to eat something.. because it's healthy. I keep almonds and string cheese at work, and suprisingly, it helps!

I make this recipe alot, but with mine, I use cajun seasoning. My husband is like just about every manly man.. he wants FAT and MEAT.. so I have to make it fun for him to eat. He doesn't even know its low in calories!

get up and do something!! that always makes me feel better! And eat fewer carbs.. carbs make me feel heavy, and yucky... especially during summer months.

Slowly add your calories back.. but be sure to add HEALTHY calories back.. at night, throw in a piece of chicken if you eat meat.. You gradually need to get back up to at least 1200 calories a day.. but not all at once, or you will gain weight back fast!

I was just about to say that! There is a guy here at work that has a cuzie that says that.. TOO FUNNY!!!!

I am feeling the same way. I have started running.. been going to the gym.. trying to eat better... but nothing's working. I CANNOT lose any weight! I stopped weighing myself ( thats why it says i've only lost a pound) thinking maybe that would help.. NOTHING!

My advice... WHO CARES if she gets her feelings hurt? SHES the one that's overweight, and it's not your fault. Say what's on your mind (NICELY) and be proud of what you are!!

I have it on the outside of my thighs. Since I've started running, I have noticed a difference.. but it's still there. It will probably always be there. Just learn to accept. That's the way I feel about my post-baby stretch marks. They are getting better, but they are always going to be around...Just gotta learn to accept…

1. 23 2. Pear 3. I've been running more.. I can tell a difference in the tone of my legs, and also my thighs. The hips and butt really haven't gone very far, but they are always the last to go.

You definitely need to eat more. If you don't your body goes into starvation mode, which is when it hoards all of the fat and doesn't allow you to lose any. You don't have to eat full meals.. just have a couple of snacks a day, like almonds or cheese, and make sure you eat three times too!! Good luck!!

Do you like cheese? I eat 2% Kraft low fat Mozzarella string cheese when I get like that.. plus, one thing that I have started doing is snacking more often. I eat almonds alot.. and strawberries.. these are all great ways to keep you satisfied. The key is eating before you feel like you are starving. The first time your…

I've often wondered that myself. I have one at home and I use it regularly... GREAT after a workout.

I noticed that you don't reach your caloric intake goals often. You should do your best to reach those daily.. drink more water too.. at least try to get 8.. i have a very hard time with that one.. and cut back on the processed foods... Thats hard too, but it's worth the effort! Good luck!

Oh Yes. I work at a bank. SOMEONE is ALWAYS bringing in FOOD! One of my good friend's mom has a catering business, and bakes cookies... so she is ALWAYS bringing in cookies! Another lady in my department always has 2 candy bowls on her desk, and I don't want any of it until I see someone else going after it! There are 5 of…

Very informative! Thank you!

Thank you!!

I am usually off, sometimes by alot when I work out really hard. Always try your best to meet your caloric intake totals but if you're off every now and then it's no big deal. Just keep trying!!

Very good story. Keep up the hard work. I'll be 23 in 9 days. Just had a baby 4 months ago.. and have lost 24 pounds.. still I feel I'm not doing good enough because the scale hasn't been moving very much. I have decided not to get on the scale until my birthday, and HOPEFUlLY it will have changed. I work a full time job,…

If you tend to snack alot, choose healthy snacks!! I work in a department with 7 people, and between all of us we take turns buying low fat string cheese and almonds. When we get hungry, that's what we have ... instead of going up to the third floor to the snack machine! A few of us have made a rule to use the stairs, not…

Thank you!!! Very helpful!

Well... Never been a smoker, never had breast cancer... but I HAVE HAD A BABY!! I can't get rid of these 25 pounds!!! I've been on this website for about 3 weeks, and have only lost 1 pound! I've been watching what I'm eating and started working out.. buttttttt.. it's just not happening!!
