Weight-training program suggestions?
I've been on here since January, been logging faithfully and doing well with my daily aerobic exercise. I've lost 14 lbs so far. Many years ago I did a weight training routine and liked it, and I'm thinking about working resistance training into my days, but not sure what would work for me right now. I work full time and…

Can rarely manage to stay below 1280 calories...
Okay, I need to ask people - do you manage to stay at or below your calorie allotment for the day, and if so, how? I know I have improved my eating habits since starting on here 4 months ago, and I've lost 13 lbs so far. I exercise 25 - 45 min per day, walking, biking or elliptical machine, and burn 200-300 calories per…

Slow but making progress - anyone else?
I started on here in early January. It's now almost the end of April, and I've lost 14 lbs (hurray!) with 22 left to go to reach my goal. (I'm 5'4", female, 41 yrs old, for context.) I do 25 - 45 min of aerobic exercise every day, which feels great. I usually exceed my daily calorie allowance, but not by a huge amount.…

2-week plateau
Hi all, I started here Jan 3. After a slow beginning, I gradually took off 8 lbs, which is great. The problem is, I've been at the same weight now for almost 2 weeks, and I still have about 28 lbs to go before I reach my goal weight. I'm quite happy to lose 1 lb a week, but being stalled is a bit discouraging. Who else has…

Watching my weight as a parent...
Does anyone else here have the habit of finishing the food their kids don't eat? I do that - gotta get out of that habit! Also, I think it's harder to keep junk food out of the house when you have a family - anyone else struggling with this?

Birthday parties - aagh!
Okay, I was on the right track, have been logging everything and exercising every day for almost a month, and I lost 3 lbs, which was encouraging. Then we had a birthday party for my husband this weekend in which there was cake, pie, and ice cream (he even picked my favorite kind!). I went way over my calories for the day.…

2 weeks in...have lost (maybe)1f---ing pound.
Hi everyone. I've been honest about recording everything I eat and drink and have been exercising every day. I'm eating a mostly vegan diet (I'm a lifelong vegetarian), doing my best to stay away from cheese and limiting sugary stuff. I think this is sustainable and realistic. Problem is, I've only lost (maybe) 1 lb. I am…

How to encourage husband to try this with me
Hi all, I have a question, but it's a touchy subject. I started on here Jan 3, and am feeling good about it - I've lost 2 or 3 lbs in about 3 weeks and feel like I'm on the right track. I want to encourage my husband to lose weight too, but I don't want to make him feel bad. He's put on a noticeable amount of weight in the…
