Don't know if you have ever heard of the candy called "SMARTIES". I truly believe there is crack in that stuff! I had it so bad that I had to have an intervention. I went off for a year and then said I would only eat them in moderation. Sad to say, I was eating those little dusty candies by the bagful. Before I went cold…

Doing yoga IS lifting weights! You're just using the weight of your own body the same as other's use dumbells. PS, for me, yoga is waaayyy harder than lifting weights. I was encouraged to to yoga to relax. That was the toughest class I've ever taken. I'm trying to graduate to a yoga class. Right now my core development is…

As one person commented, you lose weight when you intake less calories than you burn off. If you do a lot of cardio (as another person already stated) your body adapts. You may not lose as much weight, but their is a bigger payoff other than just losing pounds. Your heart and other organs begin to function better. You have…

I know EXACTLY how you feel. Thanks to my huspband, I'm learning the art of patience. This can't be a fad for you, but a lifestyle. I was like you...always eating salads..depriving myself, then bingeing. Set realistic goals for yourself, pehaps half a pound per week. Then figure out how many calories you can each eat day,…

I'm in the same boat. It is what it is! I've found a way to help my indulgences. When I want a piece of cake or a biscuit with honey, I count up the calories and then jump on the treadmill. I can have my treats, but I have to burn off the right amount of calories in order to do so. After some time, treats become expensive.

I've been diagnosed with crohns disease, so I understand your problems. When I get out of my normal routine (weekends), I can be locked up for days. Water is great of course, but I eat a lot of fresh fruit, apples, pears, grapes...anything that is high in pectin. Also, lay off excessive dairy. If you do have dairy, make it…

Not sure of what to ask, but make sure you get a copy of your bloodwork. It was most invaluable to me because I analyzed every part of it to ensure I was getting the proper nutrients in my body.

Here are two of my favs that would travel well... Thomas Everything Half bagels with an egg scrambled with swiss cheese. ( I usually put on mustard since it's no extra calories) Protein shake: Your favorite juice, banana, blueberries, 1 scoop of soy non-gmo protein mix, a litte almond or 2% milk, ground flax seeds, and…

Don't give up. I know how you feel. A LOT can be accomplished in 4 months if you shift gears. This is an excellent website, but you HAVE to log everything you eat. Set a realistic goal, perhaps 1/2 pound a week and take one day at a time. I'm about your height (5'8) and was 172 at my heaviest. I'm now down to 154, pushing…

Hello there! :flowerforyou: I know exactly how you are feeling. I was getting quite discourage because I initially lost 7 lbs, but then became very stagnant. Did you pick a weekly goal and then set the number of calories you can eat per day? If not, this is where you may be falling short. Think of it this way, picture…
