I'm having different problems with Samsung Health. I linked it on the app, but it is double-counting my exercise and way over estimating my calorie expenditure for the day. For example, at the end of the day yesterday, MyFitnessPal estimated that Samsung calories burned was 2069. But in the app, Samsung said my calorie…

Just cleaned out my closet and got rid of those size 12 jeans I bought 2 years and 20 pounds ago!

I've done the low-carb/keto thing in spurts in the past when I wanted quick weight loss results but never stuck with it for any length of time. After reading the latest study about the impact of low-carb diets on metabolism, I've decided that maybe I need to get back on the bandwagon and stick with it. The truth is that I…

I'm 5'3" and currently 133. Until last year, I always weighed around 120, give or take a few pounds and I have always tracked my calories. Last year, I got lazy, didn't track and gained 25 pounds. UGH! I'm down 12 pounds since January, which I'm happy about, but it's so hard to lose weight when you are short and your BMR…

I have 6 pair of size 8 jeans in my closet that I have not been able to wear since last winter. Yesterday, I tried two of them on and they both fit! Still a little tight (I like my clothes to be looser) but they fit. I have vowed not to actually wear them in public until I get under 130 lbs. That will motivate me to lose…

I know the feeling! It's awesome. Keep up the great work.

A million years ago when I was in college, I only ate one meal a day...supper around 5 PM. I wasn't trying to fast; it was just what fit my schedule. To this day, I don't need breakfast to get me started, and I only eat lunch when I am a) out with friends or b) bored and there is food available. My 'natural' window for…

Back to my size 8 jeans...and eventually having them be loose on me again.

Started January 2017 at 145. My goal is to be back to my ideal weight of 120 by December 2017. Slow and steady...because I have no desire to deprive myself. I just want to cut out enough excess calories to lose an average of 2 pounds a month. So here we are six months down the road and I'm right on track. Down to 132 and…

Not a problem at all. The recommended percentages are only a guideline set by who-knows. Some people swear that a higher protein diet is better. Other people swear that it's best to have more carbs (complex carbs, anyway.) Your body will convert anything you eat into energy...it just does it in different ways fro different…

I have figured out that I cannot really maintain a weight loss trend unless I weigh myself every day. Somedays I'm up; other days I'm down. On the days when I'm up, I get a little disheartened, but at the same time I get more motivated. On the days that I'm down, I am even more motivated to continue the trend. I'm no…

Add me if you want to...I've always watched my weight and over the last 18 months I've watched it grow! I always said it is easier to keep my weight down rather than gain and then try to lose it. I learned that many years ago and it has served me well until recently. Now I find I am 25 lbs over my ideal weight and it is…

@wifeofgodek You deserve all the kindness in the world. Your *sshole of a husband has taken away all of your self-esteem and left you feeling unworthy of love and kindness. Take some time to learn to love yourself, stand up for yourself and decide what you want in life. You are worth it!

@pztodd That's very nice of you to say. I tell myself things like this to keep myself motivated. It's very easy to succumb to eating an extra piece of bread at dinner, or those chips at the Mexican restaurant. But I try to remind myself that those little 'extras' are what put the weight on, and skipping them will take the…

You're not kidding! I used to be able to control my weight so much better. I'm almost 58 and it's hard now! I have everything from size 6 to 14 in my closet. When I hit a size 14 pant, that was it for me. I'd be very happy in my size 10s...

Don't be discouraged! Think about what a pound of butter looks like...that's a lot of fat that no longer in your body! You may have lost more than that in actual fat if you have been working out because you will replace the fat with muscle. A pound of muscle takes up much less space than a pound of fat. Keep up the hard…
