Not at all!! Your words were meaningful and really inspiring to me.

I really do love all of the positive (and funny) comments. Although someone may assume that I may be in this for the wrong reasons (recently mentioned!), I have to assure you I'm not. I feel like this is a life change, and one for the better. There are too many family members I have who are obese, who I've watched grow up…

Yes, I have changed things up, adding resistance bands, and light weights. I really had forgotten (from last year) that that really does great work. But even after 2 weeks of that...I'm like a dead fish, floating in the water of no loss. I'm dramatic, I know. But I'm kind of pissed off and frustrated, I don't understand!!…

It may what you're eating isn't the right stuff. And it may be why you could be feeling down too. Like if you eat a bunch of comfort foods, they aren't really meant to fill you up, they just give you that good high feeling. Protein and fiber help make you feel full. Have you ever thought that maybe you're eating because…

I don't know if its healthy to eat that few calories/day...but as long as you continue to work on you - mind body and soul - you've got my vote! I'm 5'8", and I started at 180. I'm seeing results like I've never seen any other time before, and I'm so happy for it. It really does work. Just track your calories, drink your…

So, it sounds similar to something that I asked earlier this week. I posted here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/507821-bmr-bmi-my-goal-i-don-t-get-any-of-it In the end it depends on how much you want to lose/week. "Chuckles217" explains this really well in response to my question. You have to burn enough calories…

When I got started with this life change, I started out very slowly. I wasn't doing any extra working out, so I started doing a few exercises here and there and THEN I started modifying my diet, which wasn't super horrible, but I do have a love for some really bad fast foods. I didn't really eat regularly (sometimes one…

Ok, all that makes sense to me (or at least I understand it better now). I never considered sodium and carbs being such an issue, because my focus has mostly been the calories, protein and fat. So now I'm going to keep an eye on those two things...my last reported weigh in was abysmal. And now it makes more sense because…

I can try to be your support buddy. I always seem to have the best of intentions, but I have a hard time just breaking the bad habits. I too am a single mom (of one), work full time, and I can't even keep up with general household stuff. Its incredibly frustrating, and I love my food. I think I just had the revelation that…
