Hi, I drop 3-5lbs easy right away when I give up sodas and start drinking water...then walking is a great exercise for weight loss and even more so for toning...you will lose inches before you ever even lose actual lb weight...

I think that it is great that everyone is willing to share knowledge with each other on this site, but it is also important not to let education begin to sound like accusation or this site will be no different than other weight loss programs where people feel judged. Also, saying people will either learn or fail is very…

It isn't messed up to be afraid of change...that's a pretty normal emotion; even if you believe the change will be for the best it is still scary because it is unknown... I don't think you are afraid of being thin or beautiful, though it also isn't unusual for people who have been abused sexually to resist attracting…

I did and lost 5lbs right off the bat. It's been 1 month and I am down 9lbs and have let myself have a glass of soda on 2 occasions...any other time, I am drinking water. I have absolutely no regrets! But be warned, the trick is not to just quit the sodas! You really do have to increase your water intake...don't substitue…

Ok, I still have an unanswered question. I am guilty of coming in under my daily goal, but when I eat at my goal level or near it and close out my day it will tell me that "if you ate like this every day for 5 weeks you would weigh..." and the weight is almost ALWAYS above my weight loss goal! How can I reach my goal if I…

Get the food out of the house! The next time you buy groceries, don't purchase things he can use to make the snacks that are tempting you...buy snacks that are heathy and maybe he will join you in eating them! We no longer have a twinkie drawer at our house! The drawers still there, but its empty. My husband and Grandson…

Everyone is right! The rice needs to be avoided. I meet my girls at a local Hibachi grill for lunch quite frequently & do fine getting the Hibachi shrimp with vegetables. The best thing to remember however, is that when you plan to splurge (and its definately ok to have special meals for special occasions) be equally as…

I recommend just getting rid o the treats! Keeping them around is only setting you up for defeat. We are all entitled to treat ourseves occasionally especially when balanced with exercise, but make yourself work or it. I find that if I am going to have to get up and drive to town in order to have a sweet treat, it makes me…

I prefer to get out, walking my dog, but when I do work out inside using my treadmill or Gazelle, I use my MP3 player...I love to read but reading has only added to my couch potato personality these last few years...until I discovered books on audio! Now, I read when I"m driving, walking on the treadmill, doing the…

What kind of exercise vs what kind of health issues. If for ex: your heart is healthy but you have knee problems...a gazelle would be better for you than a treadmill. The key to initial weight loss (after you have taken the step of controlling your calorie and fat intake) is usually to get your heart rate up & keep it up…

My daughter lost her first child, my first biological grandchild last July. Isabella Rose, "Bella"... The loss of a child is a nightmare to our humanity but our spirits know that they rest in a cradle of wings in God's house. I will pray for you.

Sometimes when you plateu you have to increase your time spent in cardio exercise. Like anything else, our bodies can become accustomed to a certain routine and after a while, it only maintains us instead of causing weight loss.
