I used to work straight evenings so I ate most of my meals from about 1000 onwards, that included a snack at 2330 when I got home from work!!! I did this for 10 years! When I retired last October I found it really difficult to change the pattern, even when I was eating earlier and should have been full I was thinking I…

It is tough, overwhelming and scary to look at all you have to do to become healthy. My first advice is to stop the negative thoughts and talks in your head. Think about what you would say to your best friend or a loved one if they talked about themselves negatively. You would point out the good things they are doing, the…

Heck my streak is 852 days, I am still working on it. The good news is you have not given up or stopped. Bravo!

I would beef up that meal with some soup or a big salad. It would not be enough for me personally, and no 300 calories is not a big meal at all. If I were you and just starting out I would try and read some articles on nutrition and losing weight. I would be researching and I would probably not take advice from one…

I don't think it will hurt him. I would insist that he mix it with fruit and either milk, yogourt or almond milk. The guy at our local Protein Powder Bar (I know it has a name but can't remember it!) told me that whey powder is perfectly fine for kids, he was adding it to almond milk and giving it to his kids from a very…

I am very aware of all that I eat. I thought I was eating well, but shockingly I was not! Not enough calories, not enough protein or fat! I am seeing a trainer right now. She went through my goals here, we have upped my protein and calories several days ago. One tip she gave me for meeting my macro goals was to plan and…

the 80/20 ratio is very important. It is what you eat not the amount of exercise that will help you get to goal. One poster mentioned that upping your protein will help you feel satisfied, I would also add that it also helps build your muscle, muscle is a furnace and will burn calories big time if it is fed properly. Keep…

How do you want to live for the rest of your life? That is a question to ask yourself. Do you want to be constantly yo yo dieting or making half hearted efforts at an active life? I don't. I have done this most of my adult life, what a waste of years. I made the decision that I am worth more than I was crediting myself…

Congratulations on your loss! Do you eat breakfast? From your post it sounds like you just have a small snack and coffee, not really the best way to start the day. I've been working on losing weight for so long but not much progress. One thing I have learned is that breakfast is the most important meal. I am working with a…

I think WLS is a personal choice. While I might not have it, it is not up to me to judge those who do. I did research what was involved and felt that I was not really a good candidate. I am morbidly obese according to charts. Reasons for not having the surgery: expensive, follow up appts out of town to have the band…

I have heard so many versions of what was called out to you in my life. I honestly don't give a rats *kitten* about some strangers opinion of me. I have family and friends who love (or like!) me just the way I am. I know that I am doing something to improve myself by eating well and exercising. Wonder what the drunk has…

I shall tell my friend about this thread. She has a painful injury involving her hips and butt, possibly from running but not sure. She cannot sit for any length of time without pain. She can use a spin bike (she's an instructor) and she now has a stand up desk. She says it is helping. She also has a new physiotherapist,…

I have had a Fit bit Ultra for a year and just replace it with the Fit Bit One. It is great. Very accurate, easy to use. It syncs with my lap top wirelessly and I have the app on my iPhone 4S so it can sync on the go! I wear it clipped to the centre of my bra. You can wear it on your belt, or pocket but I think it might…

Right cup of my bra.

Do your homework. Find out if the trainer is certified and has the licenses needed to be a trainer. Come to the session with your expectations so the trainer knows what you want out of your sessions. A trainer is great to show you how to use the equipment if you are not familiar with it. Preventing an injury is important.…

It is a great little gadget, best pedometer I have ever owned. The customer service is excellent. I love the weekly emails with my stats included. The rewards are great incentives to keep you going. At the end of the year I received an email with my total distance covered and my most active day noted, kind of fun to see. A…

I did find it on my own, and you are awesome!!!! I tried the cut and paste and it worked. please go check my response as I have written in some information you may be interested in about diabetes. Take care.

Very inspiring information. Lucia, I tried the link in your post, but it says the post does not exist! I am sure it does somewhere. Keep well. Looking awesome as always :D

When I first learned how to do squats I was very intimidated. I have arthritic knees and I am one of the "fat folk"!!! My trainer showed me how to use the wall with a Bosu ball. Stand in front of the wall with the Bosu ball between you and the wall at your back, while slightly leaning into the Bosu, legs shoulder width…

Thank you both.

People lose weight, clothes become loose. As for the calorie count, you can eat low calorie, higher calorie whatever. But 4 days is not going to show a change. Give yourself a bit of time to see some change.

amazeballs!

You are doing all the right things. I would encourage you to track on the site here for a week or two just to see if accuracy in your tracking might be an issue. Honestly, I have seen some amazing success stories on EM2WL. If your start weight and your goal weight are not miles apart then you may not see a loss. Muscle…

Pumpkin Pie at Thanksgiving not too concerned about Halloween as there are no kids at home! and Christmas is two special foods for me, Tortierre, a French Canadian meat pie made with ground pork, and Trifle, a dessert made of layers of custard, fruit, rum soaked pound cake and whipped cream. And I will have some of each,…

That is a fantastic before and after! When you can wear them in public please post another picture for sure. Congratulations and I wish I could tell you how to post a pic here in the message boards but I am totally inept when it comes to stuff like this!:sad:
