Walking is the only exercise that I do. I have lost 15 pounds in a years time with a diet remake and walking. I know it would come off more quidkly if I did a more intense workout, but i don't want to risk injury - so I stick with tried and true. When you decide that you want to tone up/bulk up/ get ripped, you will have…

For the record, I didn't make this up. Do the research for yourself and decide if it is reliable. Each person undoubtably carries their weight differently. I don't carry mine around my wrists so this measurement seems reliable for my situation.

Stress eating is most likely the culprit. And sometimes life gets hectic so dieting has to take a seat on the back burner. What suggestions do you have for stress eating? Every month I have a week that is packed with deadlines and another that is packed with meetings. Both throw me off of my game....I 'treat' myself for…

Hi, My Stats: Ht: 5'5 CW: 155 Age 40 Sedentary office job, but I enjoy a good long walk on the treadmill. I have an issue with will power that ebbs and flows - mainly hormonal driven is my suspicion. I have decided to push to lose 3-4 pounds when I am driven and then strive to maintain the loss for 4-6 weeks until I get my…

Vulgarity - language or otherwise. Airing all of their personal non weight related problems. I really don't have time to be your therapist. Having a diary that is highly unrealistic - like burning thousands of calories doing an activity but you haven't logged more than a 2 lb loss. If you finish day after day with over…

Try using some different spices such as cajun, greek or other herb mixes. It will liven up the whole sandwich.

When I lay down at night and skin touches skin in my mid section. That means it is diet time!!!

I tend to lean toward high protein snacks..... Boiled egg Nuts Yogurt Nutrigrain or other type of bar (be careful here though) Slim fast Pretzel and peanut butter Fresh or dried fruit Meat and cheese stick (watch the calories and fat here though) I guess it depends on whether you like sweet or salty.

Russell Crowe....At least he did the last time I saw a pic of him. He looks great when he puts away his pudginess.

This is spot on!!!!

Subway or a mom and pop shop. Mom and pop shops tend to have less over processed foods. They are more apt to let you create your own meal too. Order a grilled chicken sandwich with no bread and the lettuce and tomato as a side salad.... :) You just have to have the discipline to stay away from the high fat foods while you…

I want a man with broad broad shoulders. Skinny men need not apply! If you have broad shoulders and are lean that's fine.....

In my house, breakfast is the biggest challenge because we are all rushing out the door. Sooooo.....The first thing I did was make a list of healthy breakfast options that I had in stock and placed it on the door of my fridge. Secondly, I take a sandwich bag and bag up my hubby and my own breakfast the night before so that…

If it's any consolation..... I have dieted many times and yo-yoed. 10 pounds off, 10 pounds on. Until I joined Jenny Craig...With Jenny my average loss was one pound per week. When my store closed I was devastated as I discontinued my membership. I did not diet for several weeks, but I tried to apply what I had learned at…

Define a binge.... There are times when I stop dieting for a bit, but I don't consider that a binge.

No alcohol for me. T-totaller....!

I didn't read all of the posts, but here is how you can determine your body frame size.... Measure around your wrist. For a female that is 5'6": Small Frame = Wrist size less than 6.25" Medium Frame = Wrist size between 6.25" and 6.5" Large Frame = Wrist size greater than 6.5"

Any chance it is boredom induced hunger? Find something you enjoy and stay busy. And yes, you need to be sure and eat plenty of protein.

I have learned that as soon as I get attention due to my weight loss that I self sabotage because I want to be appreciated for my smarts and attitude not my visual appearance. DEEP subject!

Please understand that not all women were told that they were pretty as little girls. As a matter of fact my mother told me in adult hood that she didn't want our identity wrapped up in our looks, so she purposely NEVER told us we were pretty. She said enough other people were saying it in front of us that we should have…

krizzo87 - Tonya Harding - only prettier!

Why thank you! That puts a smile in place.... :flowerforyou:

I just entered the 40 ranks. Feel free to add. I am going to need advice from those of you that have been doing this a few years!! :bigsmile:

lol....I was asked by a waiter not long ago if I was an actress....bcuz he thought I looked like her too.

rachel bilson for Cinthyaaa

laura prepon - I had to look it up and two others had already commented....

After being off the wagon a bit, I weighed and began logging again.... :)

Making Subway my go to for a quick meal out instead of McDonald's, Sonic or worse yet my favorite local Mexican food joint. Bye bye cheese dip!

Wasn't a very good day. But I did log it all, and I ate less than I usually do out of the office bakery treat box.
