  • PLEASE don't go off the deep end! We're ALL in the same "I-can't-stand-being-heavy" boat together - that's why we're here! Be patient. I've been struggling with weight my whole life. I've been up and down and back up again - a few times! When I started SERIOUSLY on this site (been on since September, but only seriously…
  • My husband also thought it was a bit silly, until he realized that I'm achieving my goal. He thought I looked fine 30 lbs heavier and thinks I look fine now too. The difference is that I like how I look/feel better now! Do this for you and not for anyone else! Someone recently saw me eating my two healthy…
  • Regarding quick meals, my favorite is to do the following: Once a week, make a big pot of veggie soup. (I take zucchini, onions, garlic, and sometimes carrots/pumpkin and throw them into a large pot with a small amount of soup mix. (No oil necessary.) Cover this with water and cook until you can stick a knife thru the…
  • You're not going to like this answer, but here it is...You can't get your boyfriend to change. I grew up with a Mother (may she rest in peace) who was obese her entire life and didn't exercise and had terrible eating habits. She died when she was 46 years old. No matter how much nagging my Dad, Grandparents, etc. did, on…
  • Eggs and grits!! Yummy!:flowerforyou:
  • I sit at a desk for 9 hours a day too! I have the following snacks during the day: (I prepare them at home so that I have them all ready to go when I get to work.) * Apple with skin - 72 calories (or pick your favorite fruit..or two!) * 12 Almonds - 83 calories (I have them with 4 Brazilnuts - 93 calories) (I know it…
  • A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat.(1 pound = 1 pound) However, a pound of muscle takes up less space (imagine a pound of bricks) than a pound of fat (imagine a pound of feathers) AND muscle burns calories just by being there (around 40 calories per day)...as opposed to fat which just sits around being fat…
  • I agree. Eating some but not all the Bonus calories is really working for me too. I guess you just have to try it and see what works. Down 9.9kg (21.78 lbs)!
  • One day at a time is definitely the way to go. Every healthy meal, healthy snack, and quality exercise session is a victory! At the end of each day, you can rest assured that you did your best that day and the next day is another opportunity to be successful! One meal, one day, one step at a time will get you to your goal!…
  • ariannedavis is right. If you don't see it on the scale, you'll probably see the "loss" with the tape measure or with your clothes getting looser or fitting better. And for the record...a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat.(1 pound = 1 pound) However, a pound of muscle takes up less space (imagine a pound of…
  • Make a pot of vegetable soup so that when you get home, all you have to do is microwave a bowl of it - it's already ready, it's low in calories, it's filling, and it gives you some of your water for the day! I also like to keep tofu and quinoa in the fridge, since they keep for a few days. I throw a bit of each into the…
  • I've been this site for a while and I'm finally saying HI! I started out but wasn't too serious. About 8 weeks ago, I decided to get *really* serious and I've lost 16 lbs already! YIPPY! I had been stuck for a long time and although I was eating well and exercising, my weight wasn't moving. Tracking my calories and keeping…
