Was 265, down to 170. But with setbacks and life, (read: eating and not working out) back up to 215... trying to get back down and catch this seemingly run away weight train! Making sure I do some workout E.V.E.R.Y. DAY. (30min or 1 hour) and trying to control my diet (it'll be better after these cookies are gone) i know...

Sounds like some toning and exercise might get those extra bits off! Amazing what some core exercises ( sit ups, lunges, and squats will do!)

Sometimes you have to start with eating something different when you are stressed! If you eat salad ( fat free Western dressing by is delicious) when you are stressed, or steamed broccoli, or spinach with garlic and butter--you can stress eat all you want!!! For me I was depressed and unsatisfied with my looks (5'4" and…

you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome!!

Ariel!!

As a nurse I know that sometimes you can be too heavy to move, added weight means added pressure to joints( knees, back, ankles, spine). That's not counting if they've already been damaged form the years of heavy weight/ age/ atrophy from not being used, etc. Soooo.... sometimes it is necessary to get a large amount off,…

YES! Same intensity+ same impact+ a same time frame but at a higher temperature does burn more calories. http://www.livestrong.com/article/373028-does-exercising-in-hot-temperatures-burn-more-fat/ The reason people are bigger in warmer climates is because they tend to work out less, because they are hot. If they worked out…

I have always ate back half of my calories! I tried both ways and with not eating back any, I froze on the weight loss scale. When I ate back all my exercise calories I froze or gained on the scale (eeek!) So I eat half back (for you that would be about 500 calories) . You have time to try it for a week or two and see how…

I usually bounce between 10 pounds. I don't like the high end (at this point it's 175), so I'm going to lose 10 more pounds and hopefully hover between 155-165. :) I'm still trying to figure out what weight looks good on me. I don't want to look sickly, I want to be hott!! Not a stick!:love:

Congratulations!! I just told someone yesterday that I am happy that I was fat first. (God, has a reason for everything!! :) ) Then I know how to appreciate what I have become and I appreciate that I am a better, stronger person coming from ridicule from having to become stronger than the few negative people in my life. I…

Do you think car makers should be held liable for car being able to go past 70 on the speedometer, too? I'mean 75 and up is clearly breaking the law AND tempting those who are prone to speed to do what is wrong. What about when people leave tips on the table, thieves walk by are being tempted to steal, should n't the…

@lyzmorrison- TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!

Sugar does not aid obesity any more than any other food does. Over eating aids in obesity. Period. I know lots of people who don't like sweets and are huge because of pasta, and meat! Are you going to hate chefs because they cook food!!??? Please..the rule is everything in moderation. You are better off just ending your…

Hilarious!

I TOTALLY AGREE! Why post this on a calorie counting website? The ones it works for ignore it, the ones it doesn't work for use it as an excuse... js You don't have anything else to go on...so USE the calories listed, underestimate your calories burned, drink your water, get the sleep your body needs, and reduce the…

*MissKikiiiii* ( Made pic bigger) Hair and eyes!

Can't see! The lights is in my eyes!!

I do aerobic 45 minutes of aerobic every day and 15 minutes of strength Training every day! extra cardio on the weekends! I'm not as bad as others I've seen. A friend of mine said her Dr. told her two years to get back ( she lost 150) , I'm just wishing it was shorter.. :(

I use it because it gives me lots of protein with minimal calories. I can mix with just water or with other things (milk, oatmeal, fruit) if replacing a meal. It is a quick protein boost after a hard workout also.

awesome!

Totally AFTER!: I get stomach cramps if I eat before, unless I got up at 3 to let my food digest for an hour! The only thing I might do is have an 8 oz protein shake (just protein powder and water, 0 fruits)

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Jazzercise At 5:45 am (30 minutes from my house) four days a week!!! (They don't have it on Mondays) Then I Jazzercise after work too! I am proud of you for doing this!!! It shows commitment nand dedication!! You'll have your reward when people ask you what trainer you used and you say...."MYSELF"!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know how that feels!! I just did it two weeks ago!!!

cinnamon, cocoa powder, vanilla or any other extract!

I LOVE their fish too!!!!!!!!

Always count the calories!

This is crazy!! That means that whenever you go on vacation your muscles atrophy!!

SLEEP is definitely a factor to weight loss!! Your body works slower if it doesn't have the energy to do what it needs to do.

Sorry, I forgot to answer you question about the cravings: On the first day only (when my craving are the most high) I have 1 tbsp or less of dark chocolate chips (70 calories or less), if I am craving sweets it REALLY helps. If i'm craving salt I have 2, YES ONLY 2!! tortilla chips (22 calories) with a tiny piece of…

OMG!!! I was just looking for this topic today!!!! I lost .5 pounds in a week ( NOTE : That's ZERO POINT FIVE, folks!!!!!)) after exercising my butt off 2 hours every day and eating a 1200 calorie diet ( I'm 5'4" and 220 pounds). i have found that i typically gains 3 pounds every, EVERY time my time of the month is coming!…
