Can't seem to lose... frustrated.
To start, I'm about 5'9 and around 293 pounds. I'm getting so very frustrated. After I had my daughter 6 months ago, I dropped from over 300 to 282 pounds. I got my gall bladder taken out a month later and now I can't seem to lose anything. I've tried everything over the last couple of years, cutting out soda, sugar, fatty…

Weight gain immediately after gall bladder surgery?
I just had my second baby about five weeks ago. I was 304 when I got pregnant and was about 324 when I had her. Most of it was baby weight and I started losing weight right away, especially since I'm breastfeeding. I got admitted to the hospital last week with pancreatitis caused by gall stones, and was in the hospital for…

Simple, kid friendly, low calorie dinner?
I'm trying to find a simple easy dinner that's low in calories and kid-friendly. No onions or peppers. Something that is easy to make that will only take 30-45 minutes. An hour max. Any suggestions?
-
Not counting green veggies?
I read an article about a year ago, I believe written by a personal trainer (?) but he was explaining that he doesn't count green vegetables in his calorie count. Like if he had a salad with chicken, dressing, and croutons, he would count everything but the lettuce. He said that they are so low in calories that they…

Anyone trying to lose or has lost over 100 pounds?
I was talking on the phone to my best friend, we've been super close for 7 years and we somehow got on the subject of how I used to be so uncomfortable with myself our freshman year of high school. Back then I was probably 180ish pounds? Now I'm 274 and a lot more confident than I used to be, and he commented on that. He's…

Scale Suggestions?
Can anyone suggest a scale that actually works and works well? I've been using my brother's weight watchers scale but it's messed up as well. I just want one that's going to measure at least close to accurately and show the correct amount of weight lost since the previous weigh in. I'm going to start using a tape measure…

If you would like a new friend...
Add me =] I'm not new to this at all, but I can tell you it gets easier and you will feel soooo much better once you get started. And I could always use more friends to motivate each other =D

Dinner Recipes Without a lot of Veggies?
I've been trying to find some that I might like...I can deal with vegetables as sides, or a meal with corn in it...but other than that I do not like veggies in a dish. I hate onions and peppers, I seriously gag at the smell of peppers, so I stay away from them. I've thought about trying fish but I'm cautious because I am…

Need serious motivational friends.
So Ive been trying to lose weight for a while and I lost 10 pounds, but Im starting to gain other back. I really need serious friends and motivators. I do the app more thanks anything as I dont get on the computer a lot, busy with my daughter. So even texting buddies would be great. I feel more motivated when I get random…

McDonalds Salads/Alternatives
Im one of those "on the go" people. So I dont like to waste time on making something for lunch. Ive found myself addicted to the salads from McDonalds but Ive heard theyre not good for weight loss? I tried making a salad bowl at the beginning of the week, but I just cant stick with it and it doesn't fill me up as much. I…

Need a bit of advice/support
So I don't have a lot of support when it comes to losing weight. Everyone in my family is overweight/obese except for my younger brother who is incredibly fit. My husband is super skinny but eats like a horse (and not a lot of healthy food). Everytime I mention wanting to lose weight they tell me "you look fine, you don't…

Anyone know a good dance exercise video?
Does anyone know of any good dance exercise videos that are effective? I tried the 30 day shred but because of the rods in my femurs I couldn't do it very well. But I love dancing so I am hoping someone can suggest one that will work well.
-
For those that have done 30 day shred
I was wondering if there is a lot of squatting or on your knees exercises and if so is there a lot of them? I have rods in both of my femur bones that push hard and hurt a lot when squatting or on my knees. I really want to try it though.

Hey from KS!
A friend on facebook was talking about this site so I thought I would try it. Been trying to lose weight for ages. I have an 8 month old and have yet to lose any weight...looking for a support system isn't easy. Hopefully I can find what I need here!
