Good idea, Eve! I couldn't imagine what anyone out there is going through, but I am here if anyone needs a shoulder!

Go into tools and calculate your Body Mass Index. It is based on your height and weight. It is all to do with the % of body fat to the height and weight of your body. I don't see what matters as long as you feel healthy, agitch. If YOU are comfortable and healthy with YOUR body, don't let anyone tell you different. It is a…

Hi K~ From what I have read and understand, your body needs "X" amount of calories to do it's daily functions. If you starve your body of the X amount of calories it needs, it will go into starvation mode and store fat. The optimal weight loss mode is the 1200 calories. Make sense? Jenn

Hi BigRedd, I have been taking Alli for a couple weeks now, but using it very sparingly. I take it when I remember, and it usually isn't very often. What I can say is that I firmly believe that since I am dieting and exercising, weight loss is what naturally comes next. I don't think the Alli helps that much, and I feel…

I'm sure you can do it, you just probably want to do it a different way. It will be a little harder to do it when you are on the rig, but there are so many different things to do that don't require exercise equipment. I'm not sure what you have access to, but there are many different exercises you can do without equipment,…

Definitely change it. Think of it as a makeover!

Welcome! Cheers to you and your weight loss! Keep up the good work!

Congrats, Angela! Sounds like my weight! Last week or the week before I was starting to lose hope! I am finally starting to lose some of the weight that I have worked so hard to lose. My weight was like a yo-yo, but now it's finally starting to stay down. Thanks to hard work, this site and friends I have met on the message…

Don't worry! It happens to the best of us. This morning I went to breakfast and I couldn't resist having home fries. I find on the weekends, I don't do as well as I do on the weekdays! Happy early birthday!

DO tell! I wanna know about the indestructible fries!~!!~~!~!
-
Yes. It means the whole salad! :) Good Luck!

It just made me stop and think for a second...will it make me stop? eh....no. Since I have been exercising regularly, I have been cutting back quite significantly, which makes me feel better. I wanna quit but I'm not ready. One day... Until then, I will spend my $7 per pack. :)

So...I'm a smoker, too....

Today was 30 Minutes on the Elliptical trainer and 25 minutes on the bike.... :)

Hmm... "I've been doing so well, I can eat a bag of chips." ***If I take more than I am hungry for, I still eat it, regardless if I am hungry or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!**** I am so tempted when I go into a gas station or something, I walk around and look at the calorie content on the back of the chip bags, trying to find the one…

Welcome to you both!

How long have you been working out?
-
Yeah, I have been measuring myself once a week and so far, no progress either. I am just hoping that one day, I will wake up and my pants will be loose!!! :)

Hi Isabelle, To answer your questions, I don't go too far over or too far under my caloric intake. +/- 40 calories at most. I am working on getting closer to all the other things I need to monitor as well, like sugar. I go over in my sugar often, but it is only because I will have three apples in a day, and that will put…

Ok.....so I do admit, I am a "carb-ivore"....however, since being on this diet, I have minimized my carbs to very little (compared to what I used to eat, and if I eat any carbs, it is whole weat bread or a wrap.) There is a trainer at the YMCA I go to, I am just kinda chicken to ask. The equipment I use at the Y has heart…

Hola! I have been counting calories and exercising for 3 weeks today. I started at 189 lbs. Every weekday, I have been doing 45 minutes to 75 minutes of cardio, and staying under my caloric limit. I know I have griped about this before, but I am ready to see some results! I have been yo-yo-ing in weight since the start of…

Even putting a stationary bike in front of the TV... :) that's my kinda exercise!

Welcome, Jenn... I don't think that you can enter breastfeeding. I think that has to do with your basal metabolic rate, and that is just the amount of calories you burn when you are at a standstill. Breastfeeding brobably burns more calories than say, lying on the couch, but as far as it being an exercise, you're probably…

Sorry, I was getting my names confused...welcome Liz, and I am glad you are here. The big blurb I wrote was for Charlotte...keep your head up, girl!

Welcome, Liz... I can totally understand where you are coming from. I have been "wanting" to lose weight for years. The wanting usually didn't get me very far. I have had a membership at the local Holiday Inn Fitness Center for going on 7 years now, and I have yet to go a dozen times. This time, I started working out with…
