  • WOW that is tough, I am sorry about your disappointment. Not everyone gets the same results and that can be hard to handle. what has helped me is to realize this is about the weight, and health and not about appearance. I know that is easier for me as a guy where just knitted together differently. I hope you find something…
  • How often do you weigh? Sometimes I think we can weigh to often and be discouraged. I weigh once a week and I use the same scale (like the one at a doctors office), on the same day and at the same time. For me it is on saturday after 2 hours after breakfast but before lunch and after my cardio work out and naked Also make…
  • Fruits Whole wheat Breads I always take a fiber supplement to slow the absorbtion of Carbs
  • You have to want to be healthy more than you want the Beer or what ever "it" is. Try non-alcoholic beer and your resolve to diet will not be hindered by getting buzzed. If you are reading this and say "whats the point in drinking NON alcholic beer, then you drinking for the effect not the taste.
  • Here is a good site to find the formula for finding you target heart rate www.wikihow.com/Calculate-Your-Target-Heart-Rate . Personally I subtract my age from 220, so 220-50 = 170 my max heart rate I use a range of 80-85% of my MHR with sprints of 90-100% of my MHR until I reach Oxygen debt. My Cardio is a minimum of 45…
  • WOW way to go!!! Just think at this pace you will have lost the additional 40 lbs by June. Just in time for summer. when you no longer need to loose and just maintain, you for sure will not be released from watching what you eat but you will know how to enjoy food in moderation. I can tell you from experience that when I…
  • Make one trip to the buffet with one plate, take what you want and eat only half of it. No breads and definitely no sweets. excuse yourself when you are done eating, it will be before everyone else and take a walk, If you cand a place to work out even better Good luck Blessings
  • WOW I am happy to say I can not help with this one :-)
  • Find a substitute, helping others works for me. Talk to someone is always a great idea deal with the stress
  • The secret is to have a calorie deficit. If your BMI is 2000 Kc. Then you would want a 500 Kc deficit so you would only eat 1500 and you can loose weight. Yes you can loose weigh and not exercise but that would suck :-) So if you eat the calories you burn during exercise you can eat them and still have your deficit. Make…
  • I am assuming that you lost the first 30 with out a pill, if that is the case keep doing what you did you will get results. My rule has always been don't do something to loose weight that I can not continue to live with. The only substance I have ever used is green tea. You will find it the active ingredient in many of the…
  • Yes the Polar is really the standard and syncs with most of the cardio exercise equipment. Just a warning from my experience. Do not get one where you can touch the watch with a finger to check you HR. Mine would start to think I was touching it when I get real sweaty. May be a way to turn that function off but......
  • That is a great !!! That is NO small accomplishment. And a huge praise to your husband for his obvious support of you. He does us men proud, Blessings
  • As you can tell there are many different approaches to resistence training none better or worse than the other. There are super sets, drop sets, high reps lighter weights or heavey weights, less reps more sets. It really depends on your goals and your preference. Most folks are just looking to tone up if that is the case…
  • I have found the ones like your doctor uses (with the sliding weights) to be most accurate. The secret for me is to use the same scale, the same day and time. So for me I always use the scale at my gym, every Wednesday after cardio but before lunch. As long as I am consistent I will get consistent and accurate readings. I…
  • I think it depends on you. If I eat sweets in enhances the cravings for more. Maybe it is my addictive nature not sure but when you combine it with an aver the top hunger (I can consume a lot of anything :-) it spells trouble. I give in on occasion I just know, like after the holidays I am going to have to do a bunch of…
  • Are you doing any resistance training? Weights? If not start, as your muscle begin to tone and you get more and more definition and you add muscle you will see drastic results and your body will burn calories more efficiently Congratulations on the weight loss.
  • The idea is to have a deficeit of at least 500 cal a day. So if your BMR is 2000 (just for round numbers and you eat 1500 cal your body will get the other 500 from your fat stores. Now if you also exercise and burn 200 cal you now have a 700 cal deficit. The point is if your body needs 2000 calories it will get it where it…
  • Your calorie intake needs to be less than your BMR in order for you to loose weight. Look at it this way if your BMR is 1600 and you eat 1300 cal the deficit you need to meet your BMR will come from your fat,
  • Smoking will kill you faster than 30 lbs Keep up the good work. I have stopped smoking with out gaining weight but I haven't stopped smoking with out eating more. When I quit I just plain ate more but I also new I would so I planed for it and chose low carb/fat foods and ate most my calories from protein. If you are…
