Wow, nice to see! I was at the same start weight so it's really incredible to see what my goal weight might look like! Congrats!!!

Fantastic you look really fit and trim!

No offence to you Lea, but i have heard all the info youve given and my Dr calls those the dieting myths. Matabolism will lower in starvation mode but will recoup in a few weeks. There is alot of misinformation out there.

Yeah its a low number and somewhat tough to stick to at times. It is recommended by my Dr, an obesity specialist. He thinks its better to lose the weight quicker; he says losing slowly over time is not better and doesnt keep the weight off any better. The idea is to have your body burning fat cells for energy ( actually a…

I take the pills daily and since doing so i no longer have to take stomach medicine for an acidy stomach and heart burn. Also i find the weight loss is likely true but no dramatic. I feel slimmer when I take it because it keeps me from being constipated (tmi!)

Hey, i got exerbeat for the wii and it kicks my *kitten*! It includes boxing, karate, latin dance hip hop ans arobics. It says i burn 900-1000 cals in an hour...i hope its accurate. Also, has yoga and pilates...

Try some ice and heat

Hmmmm, sounds like your school needs some advisement form someone who understands fitness. A good guideline for any weightlifting is 3 times a week max with rest days in between any sessions or it can cause injury. However, resistance training is fab for toning muscles, burning fat and strengthening bones so keep it up.…

WHOA! What a transformation! Good for you, what helped you make such a big change? You were attractive even before the loss, now you're just positively stunning!

I am seeing an obesity specialist who has me on a plan of 1000 cals a day in order to get rid of the weight quickly. He says it is not a risk to lose weight quickly, it is harder on the body to keep the weight on. Contrary to popular belief metabolism is not static, and although it does slow your metabolism down to eat…

I do mine on exerbeat on the wii, its awesome!

Hello and welcome. It sounds like your finally "ready" to make a change, and put yourself first. I have major body image issues and can really relate. I read that all you have to do is " just start it" ( like the nike logo just do it), thats been a helpful attitude for me, especially with working out. Now i find im loving…

I drink lots of green tea with fresh lemon. It helps me refrain from snacking and revs up the mmetabolism too! Good luck!:drinker:

Hi all, i work overnight shifts too, i do the same as Bluestar and start a bew day at midnight. Tricky thing is turning around to days again for my other job. An extra snack helps on those days :tongue:

Don't worry about the 1000 calories, my doctor recommended that to me, says there are significant benefits to going under the 1200 calories nutritionists recommend.

Hi, For me I had to cut out all caffeine to get my groove back. That paired with eating lots of fresh veggies, fruits and lean protein has had a dramatic impact on my energy levels. I was on the roller coaster of coffee and sugar ups and downs and now I have natural energy now so exercising is way more doable. Also, almost…
