up your calories and see the difference..best of luck!

Welcome back and best of luck to you!

WTG!

Minnie-Moo(got that wrong the last time...sorry) Oh wow that means the same for me. My treadmill reads 180 for 30 min at 3.0 mph and this database reads 286. That's a huge difference. I must say I am a bit frustrated and discouraged to feel like I am really working at this and to realize that it has not been enough work…

you can see the difference, wow, you go girl!

Hi hon, keep in mind that too little calories will keep your weight at the level it's at...trick your body into letting it go, if you don't take in enough calories your body will cling to the fat thinking no more is going in. Doctors have always told me to eat 6 well proportioned meals a day. Food doesn't have to be your…

Welcome back Laura, we are all here to support one another, no matter the story or struggle we need one another to face the tough battle of weight loss. I'm sorry about your dad. Virtual hug : ) Add me if you like. Good luck to you and happy shedding!

I don't think I put myself down or gripe, but I do say I'm fat b/c I'm fat...I will eat a cupcake and think why in the heck am I eating this and the only thing I can think of is the taste. It's an addiction for some, I know it is for me b/c I have been an addict all my life. And people have stared at me b/c of my…

I try to keep it simple...when I was a size nine, I would look at overweight people and feel their pain (believe it or not) and when I noticed others looking or commenting negatively I would get upset and want to say something to those that were being rude, honestly I have said something in the past. We that are overweight…

I've never done that exactly, maybe b/c I'm the fatty, but I have however seen extremely underweight people and have wanted to feed them a pizza, guess it"s a double edged sword.

Welcome and the best of luck in your weight loss journey, feel free to add me : )

Congratulations!!! I am far from that goal but everyday takes me a bit closer. WTG!

Mini Moo-- So the treadmill read more than what was actually being burned, how frustrating that must have been. I feel like I bust my behind to no avail. I at least feel good about my numbers (at times) but if it is less than my numbers are now, I may not want to know. :noway:

Thanx crooks...: )

My treadmill reads time,distance, mph, and calories. Thank you all so much for your responses, gonna have to get a heart monitor. And yes it does have the flashing heart.

Awesome!

hhicks.......With 57 lbs lost, I can say "you are doing it" keep up the great work!!!

Congrats on quitting smoking...I quit in 2006...hence the weight gain...lol

I wouldn't cut all of the trail mix, yes the nuts are high in fat, but it's the good fat and your body needs those. I love the trail mix and avoid the one containing chocolate as well. As far as the sodium, it's awful, especially for those with high blood pressure such as myself, but let's not forget that with exercise…
