I have felt the same way for the last 15 years. I have tried weight watchers, hypnosis deleted most sweets and junk from my house. I work out regularly etc... I have lost 20 in the last 2 years. I started a program with my local hospital since my blood sugars are creeping up and they have put me on a seriously low carb…

You need to remember that the personal trainer is working for you. It is their job to provide you with an appropriate workout and in a totally comfortable (mentally) way. I have a son who is a personal trainer and he sees his work as helping people, he wants to design a program that works for someone and he enjoys the…

This is a perfect time for you to take a look at your eating habits and adjust them to how you want your child to learn to eat. Get rid of prepackaged and processed foods, if you haven't cooked before now is a good time to start learning and get your child involved ASAP, if only to sit in a baby seat on the counter.…

As I understand it you shouldn't be too worried about your you glycogen. It is for reserve and the body will alway replace it first. It is your fight or flight reserve. Remember your brain only works off of glucose so the body stores an easily converted source. It takes 60 to 90 minutes to deplete. A soccer game. You see…

Congrats on the new baby. When I had my first I started going to the gym when he was old enough for childcare (and do find good child care). I went to get back in shape but more importantly I wanted to get both legs shaved at the same time without interruption. :)

awesome

Do you like ice cream? When my mother lost a lot of weight (hers was thru chemo) the pharmacist recommended ice cream, good brands like Breyers. He said it was the most concentrated caloric natural food there was.

Have him/her go over each result and explain everything so you understand. If there is no real disease diagnosis request to see a nutritionist or if available at medical or hospital overseen weightless program. There are a lot of these around because of all the bariatric surgery being done, but they also just council…

Yikes Do you have a good doctor and do you like him or her? I'd start with getting healthy then worry about weight. Are you getting enough calories? You won't lose if you are too low. Please make sue everything is ok first.

I just started a low carb (weight loss program) diet. They have me on very low carbs to start and then gradually increase. Upside I can eat stuff I've been avoiding. Cheese, any meat, salad dressing, avocados, sour cream. It is just a different thought process and for me (who loves carbs) the earlier I start eating them…

My daughter is a 32 DDD and wears only Victoria secret sports bras. She wears them to play soccer so I'm sure she would be complaining if they didn't hold up. Tip: Never put any bra from Victoria Secrets in the dryer. screws up the cups. Hope this helps.

Hi I have 50+ to lose. Started a week ago, well not really started 15 years ago but time I have set up support systems and I'd love you join.

I love biology so here is what happens, your body goes "hey we are losing our fat stores, what happens if there is a famine, we need our fat stores" When women get pregnant they put on 7 pounds for the same reason, of course it would be more appropriate for mid-evil times since I doubt KFC is closing, but our body does…

First I think you look great.... what is the advocate cleanse? Is it similar to a couple of bottles of GoLitely which is the cleanse that they use before you have a colonoscopy? Might be cheaper if it is the same but watch your electrolytes. You are right tho if you do one of the fad diets your body will freak and make you…

Well you could always leave him with the four kids and go to a 6 week spa where there is no stress, prepared meals, plenty of rest and regular convenient yoga classes, wt training and massage. I bet that weight would fly off. I have four children also and although I love them too pieces it is a major struggle from birth…

Check my facts but I have 4 kids and they went thru periods when they ate almost nothing. Put food out while you eat, good healthy food and if he doesn't eat, he doesn't eat. If you make too much of it, it will become a game and a way he controls you. Better at 10 months to have him sit with you try a few thing and if he…

oh you mean before :noway: Breyers rocky road ice cream an occasional double double with cheese from in and out (always had a hard fast rule against take out) Now it is the bunless cheese burger with onion and spinach leaf and the large cobb salad served at Sauces on trivia night.

I used to chopped up all kinds of vegetables in the Cuzinart and at it to a chick or steak rice stir fry. Vegetables they would eat I would leave larger but carrots, zucchini, cauliflower made them so they couldn't see them. As they got older and I started them cooking early, they came up with their own ideas of how to…

Every body is different, you see some people eating doughnuts and shakes all day and don't gain and ounce but as we get old our body does not utilize nutrients as efficiently. The "average" american diet contains 45 to 65% carbohydrate, that is 45 to 65% of how ever many total calories you consume. A low carb diet is from…

Am in similar situation. 53 yrs old have been heavy since my 4th child 15 yrs ago. Carbs are my drug of choice for stress and I am trying to change how I eat for life. I am working with a diet program offered by my local hospital and they encourage this program. I am starting on a 20 gram a day carb diet. I can essentially…

I am starting on a 20 gram a day carbohydrate limit. You can deduct your fiber from your carbs. Trouble is many foods I consider healthily and low cal or full of carbs. No yogurt even non-fat, no cottage cheese, limited fresh fruit to start. Lots of vegetables, believe it or not fat is kind of ok. Hamburger no bun, topped…
