I weigh 3 times a week when I visit the gym That way it's the same scale

I had to increase my exercise to increase my calorie count. doesn't necesarily mean gym just walking can help. Check out the excercise section to see the number of calories by exercise Works both ways, not starving yourself but body feels better all around Best to you

I do the YMCA/YWCA also and find there is no pressure to look the skinniest or bulkiest My original trainer motivated me by saying that most people working out are into themselves and don't even notice other people. That helped me at the beggining. Now that I am at a good weight if I should see overweight people I applaud…

I would suggest talking to an expert nutritionist, they are educated in all of this Hopefully your medical coverage will cover all or part Best of luck

Try some Motown I work out to a cd of Frankie Valie. Some fast and some a little slower bus enaough to keep you going The supremes are good also Enjoy

Also portion sizes are important By working out you maybe building up muscle mass which weighs more than fat I gave up looking at the scale all the time and concentrated more on how my body feels. Not every person is a skinny…

Try no white starchy foods i.e bread, pasta.rice Substitute with multigrain products instead Try having no starch at dinner time but double up on veggies
