the only problem you'll have with going for long periods of time w/o foods (where you start to get REALLY hungry) is that your body goes into starvation mode & starts keeping all your calories b/c it doesn't know when you'll get another meal. my trainer says to eat 3-4 hrs after a major meal & 2 hrs after a snack.

i agree w/the day off. I've been working with a personal trainer so i'll relay what he's told me. The carbs in the pizza is messing you up... my trainer says not to mix fat & carbs... only protein/fat & protein carbs. i think you could increase the calories by runnig on an incline of 2. If i run 1 mile w/incline of 2 in…

i was watching Dr. Oz 2 wks ago... and although I'm not an Oz fan, i'll tell you what he said... on average a person wakes up around 6:30 so he said that you should weigh yourself right when you wake up & then exercise immediately after that, eat breakfast 2 hrs from waking up.... you can probably find info on his website…

why would you stay with someone that doesn't support your decision to change & be a better person? Maybe he's jealous that you are going to lose the weight & leave him?

my entire family has been pretty impressed with the 100 calorie bagel slices... for their chicken or black bean burgers, lunch meat sandwiches, etc. wheat bread is over rated anyway.

i agree with what the one reader said about writing down EVERYTHING you eat. get the pasta out of your house... along with any bread (especially bagels). if you are eating processed foods for convenience, start making bigger meals so you can just put the left overs in separate containers & use those for lunch. I think…

are you exercising? jenny craig isn't recommended becuase it's extremely hard to stop taking it & maintain... you aren't teaching yourself to eat. a calorie isn't a calorie... you could be eating the wrong foods - regardless of calories. lower the carb intake... try to do tons of vegetables & protein. My trainer said to…

i wouldn't recommend any type of chocolate candy bars.... geez... no one here said how important it is to stay away from any refined sugar. dark chocolate - definitely recommended... what about dark chcolate chips... can you toss 2-3 of those inyour mouth?

if it's in the ingredient list then it's added refined sugar - aka bad!

did you stop eating meat because our bodies weren't made to process it, or because of how they are killed? You could have done fish & vegetables to help stick to the vegetarian kick... i'm a meat eater myself but my sister isn't.... well she does if it's been killed by a hunter but not a commercialized kill.

do they sell a powered salt? I agree w/the spray butter... it has minimal calories.

take it slow.... i would start w/small goals that are easily achievable to build up motivation... ie: exercising every other day... or cutting out small items in your diets...ie: bread, sugar, pop, etc... one thing i've noticed when i've tried to do the exercise AND food is that it's just too much of a shock to my…

a perfect snack is to slice up some sweet red peppers.. they're juicy, crunchy & don't really count !!! and drink with water. I'm trying to tell myself "my body doesn't need fuel, i just feel like munching'... and 'if it was easy to lose weight, everyone would do it!"

i would definitely say don't do a typical fad diet. make small changes and then it won't be such a shocker. i think most people long term is b/c they get the wait off in a habit they can't continue long term. gl
