  • I make pizza's at least 15 times a week and subs....believe me....I completely understand. I hear though, that non processed cheeses have no carbs which make them less fattening in a way. So I am at least trying to stick to REAL cheese.
  • I am trying to jump back on the band wagon again also. Last year I dropped a few pounds and gained it all back last winter. Now I am a short order cook who is constantly moving but also constantly in temptation. Terrible time to start trying to loose again. Uggghhhh. Anywho, I am struggling also to get started and keep it…

  • It's all good. I started a new account because I lost the pass word to my old account. If I hadn't had to make a new account, I'd be doing the same thing. I gained everything back I lost last time when it came time to move houses and I spent about a month having to eat fast food :( It's all good. Do what you have to do to…
  • When I was homeschooling my kids, my work out time became gym class for all lol
  • When I was getting prepared to join the Navy, my recruiter gave me a routine to do at home ,one or two times a day. It took about 30 minutes and it worked. He also had me run a mile and a half every other day. So during that time (two months) I lost 16 pounds by eating what he told me to eat and doing those routines. Now I…
  • I agree with weighing in the morning after you have used the bathroom and before you have even a cup of coffee. Some people weigh every week, some once a month, and some daily. It really doesn't matter as long as it works for you. I, personally, weigh myself daily. I find it easier to see if I am off track or not. Also,…
  • Go get 'em! You can do this. Friend me if you like.
  • Congratulations! That's especially exciting when you've told no one about your journey. Keep up the good work!
  • If you don't feel the need to loose weight, I would talk to the coach and voice your preferred calorie intake and goals. It doesn't sound like you should be loosing anymore weight. But that is up to you and your doctor if you are consulting with one. Right now maintaining and conditioning seems to be what you should be…
  • Any given number of those people have probably been on the same journey we are on, thinking they would never be able to get into that kind of shape, but pushing through anyway.
  • I can not run either. I try, but I tore my left meniscus simply by running. That is the only thing I remember doing that could have caused it. After surgery, my right knees acting up. So, it literally hurts to run. I've decided to work out in different ways just because my wanting to run is not nearly as powerful as my not…
  • Hersheys chocolate bars...the ones you can break into little pieces...help me. I can break off a little piece and savor it. Allow a piece or two a day (if you like chocolate) so that you know your treats are not going away. Other than that ( or whatever treat you decide to keep) get rid of all other unhealthy snacks. Fruit…
  • You are most likely not eating enough to keep your body fueled. Also, are you taking a multivitamin?
  • I do agree to that. I'm not sure what I said and what I meant matched. That is not my reason for fitness at all. But, to the OP, the awkwardness will go away with time. Try not to let it discourage you from bettering yourself, physically and mentally :)
  • Eat and up your calories before this hunger happens more and more and you completely give up. Your body is needing more calories.
  • I started going to the gym for the first time in 5 years a few weeks ago and I feel awkward also. I'm not very over weight but I am not in shape. I wear my old Navy boot camp sweats and whatever shirt I happen to throw on at the time. I get there and see that 60 % of the people there are probably training for some type of…
  • Take is easy on yourself to start with. When I start realizing I need to lose weight I see myself eating just like that and I KEEP doing it. But I have started to realize that if you give yourself a few days to just cut a little bit here and there and ease into weight loss...its a whole lot less depressing than just going…
  • I've got 10 to loose and I'm stuck. Just readjusted my calorie in take. Hopefully the scale will budge soon. Feel free to friend me if you like.
  • I'm stuck at the moment also. I looked back on my logging and realized I have not been finishing out the day nearly as much as I thought I was. And chocolate is haunting me lately. Its calling my name lol. Good luck with the changes you have made. And there might be a point to revisiting the doctor if these changes don't…
  • There is a web page I like to visit called Gdonna Generations before use. She writes a lot like you do. I love visiting that site and seeing how life was in the 50s and how much healthier it was then. You are right, it doesn't take hours of work a day. Sinply balancing what you do with what you eat is just about enough.…
