17 down, but I feel bigger.
So far I've lost about 17 lbs, but I feel like I've gained instead of lost. Is that normal? I feel super self conscious of all my "curves" now, they seem to show through my clothes more than ever and it's very depressing. Add the fact that my pants are all falling off and I can't afford to buy more, I just feel like a big…

Where do I start?
So, I'm new to the whole exercising thing. I've been trying to lose weight for as long as I can remember, but other than walking and zumba on the Wii, I have absolutely no idea what to do. The gym is out because I'm unemployed and I have a really bad back, so I'm scared of just doing random things and hurting myself. I…

So which one is right?
I've been using a Nordic Track bike and the calories it says I burn are very different from what it says on here. Any suggestions?

Shopping
I'm about to go grocery shopping and I have NO idea what to go get, any suggestions? I only have $60 to spend and I'm shopping for 5 people. Typically the only foods we have in the house are frozen burritos, canned ravioli, sandwich stuff and chips. I want to get healthier things but I honestly don't know where to start,…

If you need me I'll behiding...
What is it about children that can make a headache a million times worse? I'm babysitting and this little girl is being really dramatic and loud about EVERYTHING. Spongebob just caught on fire? Well of course that calls for the loudest, most exaggerated laugh a four year old can muster. You have to pick up the mountain of…

So I'm curious
Am I the only girl that gets a bit offended when people talk about how there are guys out there that like fat girls? I'm not talking about the guys that just prefer bigger women, I'm talking about the ones that *only* like you because you're big. The handful of guys that have liked me eventually told me that the reason…

Big foot -_-
I need to go buy some walking shoes, but I was unfortunately born with my father's hobbit feet (no offense dad!). Anyone have any good, affordable shoe suggestions? I wear size 11 w..... :sad: :sad: :sad: :embarassed:

Help?
Does 570 calories for 3 oz of polish smoked sausage sound right? That seems really high to me, but I'm not sure...

How to log pizza without any toppings?
How would you log a piece of pizza that didn't have anything but sauce on it? Would you just log it as something else? I'm sure there is a simple answer, but right now I'm too tired to figure it out. :embarassed:

MIA for a few months
This past year I was on a roll, doing great with exercising and not over-eating, then I stopped for "just a little bit". For some stupid reason I just thought it would be a good idea to stop over Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then January. Then February. Then March. Then most of April. Honestly, the only reason I got started…

Seriously, the things people come up with
I just read this on Total Beauty, I guess in a way it doesn't surprise me. Would you ever consider doing this if you had the money? " My kids are at an age when they'll talk to any (and every) body on iChat or Face Time or whatever the latest computer/smart phone video chat program happens to be. Me? I tried saying hi to…

What's something...
that you've always wanted to do, but can't (or won't)? I'm bored here people!

Cupcakes?
Does anyone have any healthy cupcake ideas that don't taste like cardboard? I tried the search thing since I'm sure someone has already asked this, but since my computer is being stupid today nothing is showing up. Anyway, we're having cupcakes for our Pastor's b-day and I want to be able to make some that I can eat and…

Can anyone...
please explain this to me? I just don't get it! :frown: "nomorewishing lost 3.2 pounds since her last weigh-in! She's lost 1 pound so far."

Bok choy kimchi
Does anyone know how many calories are in bok choy kimchi? My friend made some for me and I need to eat it before it goes sour, but I have no idea how to log it.

Another Zumba question
I've seen http://www.zumbacalories.com/ mentioned a lot on here. Does anyone know how accurate this is? It says that for 75 min. doing mid intensity I burned 1183 calories. That seems really, REALLY high to me though. I've searched the forum, but I really didn't find anything that answers my question.

Just wondering
Say you were to text a close friend (about something you thought was important) and the only replies he/she ever sent you was "oh" or "ok". Yet this same friend expects you to have a 300 text conversation about something that they deem important, would you be a little aggravated? Sorry for the mini rant, I'm just wondering…

I think I'm obsessed
I think I've become a bit obsessed with losing weight. I've found myself actually putting food down if I don't have enough calories for it or if I'm not hungry. This has NEVER happened before! It used to be that if I wanted something, I ate it, regardless of whether I really needed it or not. I've also found myself wanting…

Stationary Bike
I spent 72 minutes on the stationary bike going about 14 mph. The machine says I burnt 300 calories but when I went to log it in even under 'very light effort' it says that I burnt over 300. Which do I go by??

Halloween candy
This is probably a really dumb question. For those of you that pass out candy on Halloween, how many bags do you usually need to buy? This is the first year since I was two years old that I will be spending Halloween at home and I haven't the slightest idea how much candy to buy. I just don't want to get too much and then…

Flip flops
I know it isn't good to wear flip flops, if that's all you have though would it really hurt to walk in them for a while? I lost my job about a year and a half ago (yes, I am looking for another one!) and flip flops are pretty much all that I can afford.

"You're not fat!"
Does it bug anyone just a little when (or if) people tell you that you aren't overweight and they don't think you need to go on a diet? I know they are just trying to be nice, but personally, things like that don't help me. I would rather be politely told the truth then politely lied to. For the past thirteen years I have…

Hi :)
Hey everyone! I'm sorta new, I've tried this before but at the time I really wasn't very motivated so I quit. This time I'm determined not to fail. I've been fat most of my life and it is time for a change. Like I read somewhere "I'm not losing weight, I'm getting rid of it. I have no intention of finding it again!"…
