Sorry, posted under wrong forum topic I think???
I wanted to share my "regime" for those of you that might be doing the same, and even, feeling the same as I do sometimes. There are lots of people here doing lots of different routines to burn calories, eat right etc. I walk for my daily exercise(well usually 6 days a week). My walking partner nwfamilygal and I were…

I realized water is indeed important in my life, but........
I don't ever want to drink too much, too fast. Or just too much. I believe that it is possible to drink too much water, as well as in too short a time period. I just read a scarey article about a woman that did that. Instead of drinking water throughout the day, she would sit in the evening, and within 2 hours drink 4…

I finally got around to some photos that show
pretty much the "shape" im in:bigsmile: In the ones in the dress, I am at 137. I know they aren't real good at showing it all as I worked hard to "hide it all":laugh: The one in the purple shirt is about 133. So with these, I hope to gradually compare to future photos. I think these will motivate me to have them on here…

Im not a real happy camper tonight as I read some info
about "eating your exercise calories"? I would love to hear from the folks on here that are actually losing 2 lbs a week or more, whether or not they eat "every" exercise calorie that shows up in the food diary? I have been doing that because the info I got here on this site told me to do that. Now I realize it is my fault…

Working on figuring out "training zones" w/Karvonen Formula
heres what I calculated using this "karvonen formula". If there is a better way to figure I am open to suggestions. 220 - 56 = 164 164 - 66 = 98 98 x 85%= 83.3% 83.3 + 66 = 149 beats per minute What I don't get is the statement that comes next after I get this figured. It says: You should now have two numbers that will…

as it's been 2 weeks or more since I have not seen 132 on the scale:( I am discouraged, a little, but am going to do my walk this a.m. I am at my sisters and it will be double hard to stick to my routine.

HELPPPPPPPPP!! At my sisters for Christmas and forgot
about her having "city" water, yuck!! It smells like purex:sad: Ok, Im exagerating but what can I do? Should I actually drink this stuff? Is it safe? If so, Im thinking put some lemon in it?

I truly feel I am doing this right
but my weightloss is so slow to other's. I guess Im discouraged tonight. I've never been very successful at anything in my life and this "deal" seems like the hardest I've worked for anything. I just wonder if Im doing something wrong that is holding back my progress. I eat all my calories 99% of the time and don't go over…

Steady but sure:)
I lost another lb, well, that is what I put because the "ticker" doesn't show tenths, but, I actually was at 133.7 last time I weighed so I've lost 1.7 lbs since before Turkey Day. I had messed up a few times around then and also the other day I didn't eat all my calories, was short like 500. And.............I ate over the…

On accuracy
the more I get into this, and all the hard work it takes to discipline myself, I want to know for sure I am accurate on my calories eatin, calories burned. I looked everywhere for a heart-monitor I could afford, 10-20 dollars, yesterday. Any no pharmacies even carry them, neither could I find one anywhere else. I want to…

Happy Friday, denise:)

Bowflex question, or weight training
Edie and I are going to start the bowflex and I was wondering(since it isn't covered in the manual)how to figure the calories burned with weights. I did google and couldn't find anything on Bowflex.

Dry Skin Question
with my eating habits turning toward "real" food these days, I was wondering about my skin. It has gotten really dry over the years. I don't lie in the sun and I usually have worn sunscreen. I know the water I am consuming now will help some but does anyone have experience with dry skin and have you been able to reverse it…
