  • Is there anyone that works at the gym you can ask/talk to? I don't use a treadmill so I'm not sure;however, when I walk outside I usually start with some jumping jacks to warm up then set off at a very brisk pace. The path I walk has varying degrees of incline/decline and I usually walk about 3 miles in under an hour. Hope…

  • If you don't mind cooking it yourself, skinnytaste.com has a lot of Hispanic type foods that are really good/ low cal. She even has some of Chipotle's recipes on there that are made low cal. My favorite is the fiesta cilantro rice! YUM!!

  • I usually like to try a few new recipes a week just to keep things from getting boring so I scout web sites (skinnytaste.com is my fav) and then I make a shopping list. If you're really into cooking, you might want to have one day a week where you cook several meals and then they're ready for the rest of the week (I have a…

    in FINALLY OUT OF 200's!!! Comment by hperowl October 2011
  • I don't think that losing 28lbs is unreasonable. An average weight loss of about 2 pounds a week is healthy, (Jan 1st is about 12 weeks away) and there will be weeks that you might lose more than others. I think the most important thing is to lose the weight the RIGHT way. Lots of water and veggies, exercising regularly…
    in started losing weight ...need motivation and help!!! Comment by hperowl October 2011
  • If you're worried about portion control then I suggest getting a to-go box soon after you start eating and pack half of it up. If it's not sitting in front of you then you're less likely to over eat. As, for what foods to eat, as stated above, stick to leaner meats, no fried foods, and no sauces. If you're really freaked…
    in First time going out to eat since starting myfitnesspal Comment by hperowl October 2011
  • I also use a smaller plate (a salad plate or one of my children's plates) If I'm out to eat, I ask for a to-go container and pack up half as soon as I get it. If it sits in front of me then I'll keep nibbling on it. All that being said, once it's gone, it's gone. No going back for seconds! Hope this helps! :smile:
    in How do you control your portion sizes at dinner? Comment by hperowl September 2011
  • This is my opinion... Having the same questions myself, I decided to do some research. What I found out is that protein powders are safe if taken in moderation. 1 scoop of whey protein powder a day will help rebuild muscle but taking more than that is putting your body at serious risk. I have decided that one a day isn't…

  • Have you been working out regularly for a while or have you just started working out 6 days a week? The reason I ask is, if you're just starting to workout then your body might be in shock and it should kick back in over the next week or two if you keep up the same level of workouts/intensity. Also you might be gaining…

  • Sizing is also different in Misses than in Juniors and in Plus. So a size 16 in Plus will fit you differently than a 16 in Juniors. I love clothes but I hate with a passion shopping for them!

  • The same thing happened to me and I think that's why I used to get so discouraged in the past and give up after a few weeks. However, I have since learned that your body starts to gain muscle mass as you workout and muscles weighs a little more than fat. Also the initial weight loss was probably mostly water weight. DON"T…

At this time that feels a little unrealistic since my loss has slowed down, but I'm optimistic! 2. What will you gain by getting to this goal?
