Drinking 2-3 liters of water a day will require at least 2 middle of the night fluid adjustments :) That the majority of the "skinny" clothes in your closet that you've been saving for years for when you lost weight are no longer right for your new body, horribly out of date, and just plain ugly! That underwear that are…

Its one step at a time, one day at a time.. and sometimes its one hour at a time... weather its loosing weight or gaining it. You are moving in the right direction!... and THAT my dear... is a damn victory!

Depends on the person. People can be the same height, start out weighing the same, and loose the same amount of weight One person will wear a size 8 and another a size 10 or 12.

Im right at the 1550 per day, and have consistently lost between a half and a pound a week. As you get closer, you probably will have to lower the intake. Painful? Nope.... I did give up my Friday night pepperoni pan pizza...I switched to thin crust cheese and actually find I prefer it. Other than that, I havent given up…

Realize that one bad meal does not a failure make. Neither done one day. Next time your faced with being bored and tempted to dig into the goodies, get up and do something. Take a walk, put on an exercise DVD, ride a bike. Personally... I clean :) I think Im due for the "cleanest house in a three state area". award.

It nice journey starts with one step :) You are on your way!

I think what happens to many people is they confuse the word "risk" with the word "will." Yes, people who smoke have a higher risk of developing lung cancer Yes, people who are overweight/obese have a higher risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. They forget that genetics also plays a part in our health over the…

Patience - You didnt gain the weight overnight, you wont loose it overnight. Dont get yourself wrapped around the axel if you see a slight gain on the scale. The body does crazy stuff day to day and hour to hour... but its a hella awesome machine :) Buy a kitchen scale and weigh EVERYTHING that goes into your mouth. You…

A pound a week is good! Real good! Your walking... your watching what you eat....and you are losing! Your doing everything right.. just keep doing what you are doing :)

Some folks drink coffee or tea in the morning. I cant abide the taste of coffee (gag) so my caffine is a Diet drink. I'm a serious Cokeaholic. Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi.. it doesnt matter to me. Left to my own devices I will (and have) gone thru a 2 liter a day... or more! I cant say that its really effected my…

If you are craving something, have whatever it is your craving..... just set a limit. Pizza is my red light food. Left to my own devices I will do some serious damage to a pizza. I just have to remind myself that I can have two pieces, and thats all. Sure, I could probably eat a lot more of it, but two slices pretty well…

I know when I'm angry, food is the last thing on my mind. Bored?.... Anxious???.. yea I will graze like a cow on anything in the kitchen. What I've found helps me is activity... if I'm anxious or bored... I take a walk. A FAST walk for about 30 minutes usually works it out of me, It either takes my mind off whatever is…

Are you trying to eat more than just 3 times a day?... maybe snacking on something mid morning and mid afternoon. I sometime ago had the problem of not eating enough of my cals...stress related. I avoided using "diet" food.. went straight for the whole egg instead of egg whites, regular bread instead of diet, added real…

Srambled egg 2 slices of whole wheat toast with strawberry jam 5 oz of greek yogurt 4 oz of fresh pineapple. ( like to dip it in my yogurt) 24 oz of water. Snack time will be a fresh pear :)

>> cauliflower should never be eaten as pizza<< OMG yes! Gimme the real stuff! While I do indeed eat some of the packaged stuff Id rather have that cookie, or that slice of REAL pepperoni pizza. I just try to budget for it, or do a little extra workout before of after.

Get thee hence to the local store and purchase a kitchen scale. Weigh EVERTHING that goes in your mouth. RECORD everything that goes in your mouth. Honestly, I thought I was being careful with what I ate as well. I just couldnt understand why I wasnt loosing. Frustration at its finest...... Until I got a kitchen scale,…

Yep...its pretty darn close. I hate mowing mine (its almost an acre) but I do love getting that exercise in.

My list is almost identical but I'd have to add Mushrooms and Tomatoes to it. I do love my Beets and Zucchini however. I manage just fine on the veggies I do like and will eat. Lettuce (unless its iceberg variety... yuck!) Raw Spinach Broccoli Zucchini Squash Almost any variety of beans Red, Yellow or orange peppers (I…

Im going to echo what Davis_em said.... its not a straight down the scale process. Dont let ONE result on the scale trip you up. Look how far you've come! Drink more water, pay attention to weighing your food... and I bet you will see that tiny bit come right back off.

>>> Ladies, or men, people.....is it normal to want to just resign yourself, giving into to what "middle aged should look like" ? I know that i'm struggling between 2 pathswanting to feel sexy, fit, healthy at my age.....or accepting of my body and where i am...and stop feel bad about myself. Deep down, I know i can do…

A trip to the nail salon Flowers at the farmers market That book Ive been dying to read New purse A new CD to listen to A day off from work A massage at the spa Concert Tickets Tickets to the theater New shoes/running shoes A facial at the spa A day trip to a nearby town A trip to the salon to get someone else to wash and…

Ive got a big (70 pound) 10 yr old Belgian Tervuren, Very intelligent dog but If he doesn't get at least an hour walking daily (when HE wants it.. not on my schedule) he morphs into the most annoying creature on the face of the earth. He will sit next to my desk chair and just stare.... and the make that "huffing" noise if…

Im pretty busty as well... if your measuring to input it into MFP to track your progress.. then measure with a bra, as this is how you would measure if you were going to figure out a size for a new dress or blouse. Now if you are measuring for proper bra size its an entirely different process

Hm... I think I would see different dietitian. I keep mine between 13-1500 per day... and am steadily loosing 1-2 pounds a week.

Check out Herroom.com. They have a great selection in a really wide range of sizes. You can also search by size and type, which really helps :) Ive ordered from them for years and they have wonderful service. Be sure to check out their "on sale" or "clearance" too.. sometimes htey will have really great bras in my size at…

Not dedication (lol) just survival. Im on the road about 6 months out of the year, if I didnt take the scale my butt wouldnt fit in a airplane seat.

57 and had a hyst over 15 yrs ago. I took hormones for about 6 months following the surgery and hated how they made me feel. Nervous, jumpy, irritable as all get out... so I finally threw the things out. I havent taken them since. Yep, loosing weight can be a bit slower but it can be done. Break that larger amount you have…

Yep, it makes a difference. A BIG difference. I have to travel on business a lot. My kitchen scale goes with me :) And yes, I have popped it in my purse and taken it to a resturant. I might get funny looks, but screw em :)

This would be me. I lost 47 a little over a year ago, unfortunately being on the road the last year for work has put about half off that back on. I try to keep my calories between 14-1600, walk about an hour a day (compliments of a really big dog who demands it), and drink a lot of water. If I know I'm going out with…

I weight every few days, mostly to keep myself on track, but I dont record the weight until Ive seen the same number on the scales 3 days in a row.
