Treadmill- Level 3 which burns 207 Calories in the morning before I eat Circuit Training with 5Lbs Dumbbells for 10-20 minutes wich burns about 88-175 Calories after work followed by some Interval Cardio on the Treadmill for about 30 minutes which burns 349 Calories. Total 644-731 Calories a day My goal is around 400-500…

I agree with idaliabelaly but, to make it really count, I would add some strength training before hand., especially if you are working out in the afternoon or after work. The strength training will burn of any carbs that you still have left that you body hasn't already burnt off to use as energy and then you can workout on…

I have heard to reward yourself with a manicure, pedicure, or a massage but I don't have the time or the money, so my best thing is to try to fit into clothes that I normally can't or even better is to buy a bikini that I have NEVER been able to wear. BUT, before I can even wear a bikini I would have to get rid of all of…

Skinnier_Me.... Tell me your secret. How are you losing 2 Lbs a week. I burn between 400 and 500 calories in a day but they are split up into 2 workouts. One is in the morning on the treadmill for 30 minutes before I eat and then when I get home I do some circuit training for about 15 minutes and finish with some fat…

WOW, 7 Lbs is really good. I know what keeps me motivated is thinking of what all I have accomplished. Not only in weight but I look back to the first time I got on the treadmill and couldn't hardly do anything. Now I am running at fast speeds and can actually run for a longer period of time. That is a big accomplishment.…

I am following 55% Carbs, 30% Protein and 15% fat. I am still learning how to meet those amounts without going over, basically just because I love carbs, but that is a good recommendation to lose body fat. Also, try to eat less carbs at night because that is when your metabolism starts to slow down.

http://www.weightlossforall.com/abdominal%20fat.htm Please go and visit this website for some good tips on what types of foods to eat to lose weight and not being hungry. You need 4-5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, 3 or 4 servings of low-fat protein (animal, vegetarian and dairy), 2 servings of whole grains, and…

Congratulations! It is ok to lose 6Lbs is in the first couple of weeks but if you continue to do so then I would advise to change something in your diet and exercise or you will gain it back eventually down the road. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I just came across a website that has some really good info and tons of it. Check it out! http://www.weightlossforall.com/

Take a week or 2 off, change your routine or recalculate how much your body is burning (BMR) and see if you need to change your calorie intake.

Does anyone else use leg weights as you exercise on the treadmill? I don't know how many calories I am burning? The treadmill says that I am burning a certain amount but I don't know if I should really go with that amount either because everyone weighs a different weight and the treadmill doesn't ask me how much I weigh.…

I'm from a small town in the big state of Texas. Where 50 Mile an Hour of wind is normal and the dirt blows with it. One day it can be 100 degrees and the next day it will be snowing. That's just how Texas weather works.

I am a slow loser as well and am also trying to lose the last 10 pounds. I started on this site at 135 after getting bored with losing 7 pounds with weight watchers. I realize that since I have started to count my calories I haven't lost anything but I realized that I have been starving myself. See, I workout twice a day,…

I love the applesauce with whipped cream idea. I never thought of that. And the fat free pudding with cool whip as well. Such great ideas. Thanks everyone, I was getting kind of bored with all of my snacks. I have to admit that I like the raw green beans as well. I love the way that they crunch. Raw sugar snap peas are my…

I wish you luck as well. I have actually brought my own dessert at times when I new I would be tempted. That's always an option. It doesn't have to be anything noticable, just a breakfast bar like Fiber One oatmeal and chocolate chip chewy bars or sugar free jello with sugar free whipped cream on top. Another idea is Kashi…

Thank you! I am not sure if I am going to be able to eat more calories without the temptation of eating the bad calories. If I know I need to eat more I will go on an eating benge off HEALTHY junk food. What I mean is I will go for the 100 calorie packs or weight watcher desserts but I can't eat just one, I have to go back…

How many calories do I need to consume? I calculated my Basal Metobolic Rate and it said that if I was to do nothing all day that my body would burn 1335 calories. This means that if I eat 1335 calories in one day with no exercise that I shouldn't gain or lose any pounds, am I right? I have been consuming around 1250 to…
