As you gained weight you probably had plateaus going up. Your body remembers these plateaus and will automatically plateau there again on the way down. Some refer to these as "set points." It may take some time and sometimes some adjustments to get past them. Mix it up. Vary your exercise from day to day and vary your…

Been there too. What helps me is: 1. Doing it for my HEALTH not my weight 2. Starting exercise doing things I ENJOY doing (walking, riding my bike) 3. Being here and getting friends and family to support my efforts I wish you the best in your quest for GOOD HEALTH

Its an Electra 21 Speed comfort bike and sells for about $500. The route we take has a lot of hills so at the end of 60 min we have burned 500-650 calories. Personally I hate to…

I am a lawyer who also has had bad things happen in my own family. ALWAYS protect the children. ALWAYS protect the children.

I agree... CLEANING SAILBOATS??? How cool a job is THAT... '-)

You have lost a lot of weight. CONGRATULATIONS! As we gain weight, we stop at certain points, so on the way down we will tend to stop loosing at about the same places and our bodies will try to stay there. So we just have to plug away until our body gives in and lets go of the fat. Its a defensive mechanism in times of…
