Add me if you'd like. I have been on here 3 wks and only have one person on my list. The more the merrier I say and that goes for anyone who would like to add me.

I use to eat back the calories when I first joined and not much was happening. It's a matter of finding what works for you. I was doing 1200 cals and that was fine but 1300 works excellent for me. I don't usually hit the 1300 mark but it gives me a little room for days when I can't get exercises in or I eat a bit over. It…

No haven't tried it. Mostly because the people making the offers are really trying to get you to sell the products. I am not trying to be a sales person. I am trying to lose weight as healthy as I can.

It sounds like she really meant that. She may have been a little jealous that you have lost the weight and she is having problems with it. Too many times women compare themselves to other women and this is what happens. I understand being upset but it probably would help if you thought about where she might have been…

You sound like me lol. Good for you and do it again tomorrow. :)

My mother use to make us try one new thing we wouldn't normally eat every month. The worst was pig brains mixed with scrambled eggs. Nasty nasty business there. Then the octopus tentacles was terrible, but she probably didn't cook them right. Bitter and rubbery. One thing I did try that I did like was mountain oysters (hog…

Don't be so hard on yourself. I have had a couple days when I couldn't be on my diet because we went out of town and went over my calories. Just go for 15 minute walk or do extra exercises tomorrow. That's what I did. Now you know where you went wrong and will know what to do. Also, if you don't punch in the exact name…

I walk 1-2 miles a day and have been doing it for almost 3 weeks now. I found a video on youtube by Leslie Sansone who does a 3 mile walk and it lets you know when you have hit each mile. There are also separate videos. One for 1 mile, one for 2 mile and one for the 3 mile. I love it. No difficult steps, just walking and…

Just ask your doctor to clarify what she meant so you get the answer from her since she is the one putting you on the diet. I do think she meant per meal though.

I am sticking to my 1300 calories and with the exercise I do, which is just walking, it ends up around 1200 or so anyway. Sometimes it's under and sometimes it's over. I have been losing about 2 lbs a week which is a healthy amount to lose. I will continue to keep doing what I am doing until I lose the weight I want to…

He isn't going to lose weight if he himself isn't ready to do it no matter how much you encourage or nag or try to set a good example. If anything it will only make him irritated. I know that is how it works with me anyway. He is going to have to have something set him off in his own head to make him want to lose the…

If you are working out a lot, it could be you are gaining muscle and losing fat.

You need to burn more calories than you eat in order to lose weight. If you don't keep track of your calories and how much you have burned it will be hard to figure out what you need to be doing. I for instance, eat whatever looks good to eat. I just don't go over my calorie goal and I walk every day. I don't replace what…

I never eat all my calories. I also don't deprive myself of things I like. I just don't eat so much of them. Helps me stay on track. If I cut things out I like, I would end up quitting all of this. But I do agree that peanutbutter is a good way to go but since you can't have that, eat a high fiber muffin or some cereal. It…
