I have an 11-month old Boxador named Drake. He exercises ME! Daily walks are more like runs so he's like my personal trainer. :)

By the way, ignore all the people who are telling you "either you care or you don't", "either you're committed or you're not", etc. That's such garbage. We're human and we deal with challenges and some days you want to feel like giving up. That doesn't mean you HAVE given up. The fact that you posted this, looking for…

I was in that same slump for 7 months. Last year in October, we started a Biggest Loser competition at work. It was so motivating and I lost 25 lbs in just under 3 months. Then the holidays hit and I told myself once they were over, I would get back on track. I tried quite a few times in those first 2 months of the year…

I think she got it from Target.

Make it fun... When I'm working, I use a cup with a straw (I have a clear Starbucks glass that holds 3 glasses of water). If I have water on my desk with a straw, it makes it easier for me to drink while I'm working. My mom was having trouble remembering to drink water (she likes it, she just gets busy and forgets) so she…

You were looking at her diary for today... she's not done eating for the day so it's going to be much lower than her full day's allowance. If you look at the previous days, she is eating at least 1200+ calories. Conniie, you're doing fine. You need to eat at least 1,200 calories a day. If you eat back some of your exercise…

What Olive oil are you using?? I've never found one under 120 calories per Tbsp

Go back in and reset your goals. They don't seem to automatically update. As you lose weight, go through the process of "setting new goals" even if all you do is run through the process and don't change anything. your new current weight will recalculate your goals and your food intake and exercise calories will shift so…

I'm so sorry to hear that! It really is a lifestyle change and you have to make the commitment for a healthier lifestyle - whatever the cost! You should be a priority over everything else and I hope you'll reconsider and stand up for yourself. :)

Hi! I can't relate to your situation exactly (no children) but I have always been a generally healthy eater (vegetarian) and I'm very knowledgeable about nutrition as well. I struggled with making exercise a priority and now I'm focused on doing every day - even on the weekends and even if it's only 30 minutes. My weight…

Yes, it absolutely does. I changed my diet and was exercising for 3 weeks (still drinking diet pop) and actually gained a pound. I gave up the pop, started drinking 12 glasses of water a day and lost 5.5 pounds in a week. Here is a link that talks about 10 ways water helps you lose weight:…
