Bikini-ready bod group for the non-overweight
Hello, I thought it would be a good idea to start a 10 pound group for persons who are not technically overweight, as not to insult (or come off as insensitive) to those people who are struggling with more serious weight problems. Basically, it is for those of us who have a little extra baggage and would prefer a…

Not losing weight? This might be why...
Research shows that certain exercise machines overestimate calories burned. The elliptical is the worst offender with an overestimation of up to 42%! You can meticulously log your food, but if you are overestimating calories burned, you are bound to plateau. I am 100% convinced this is what caused my last plateau. I spend,…

Watch this documentary (Weight of the Nation by HBO)
Highly recommend this documentary...a lot a good info clearing up misconceptions about dieting and losing weight. For instance, did you know that juice is as bad for you as soda?

Jillian Micheals advice if you are constantly hungry
She is not saying that you should start eating bad foods, but different people require different meals. To quote her: "For example, if you are a fast oxidizer but you are eating fruit for breakfast and salad for lunch, you will be constantly starving. Try eating scrambled eggs and two pieces of nitrate-free turkey bacon…

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
That is a Kate Moss quote I wish I could believe! Today was rough. I have been creating a surplus of calories by eating tiny meals so that I can have dinner with my boyfriend and our mutual friend, but even with this surplus, I am still not able to have dessert and one of the side dishes. I am also cutting the appetizer in…

Unsupportive partners
So, I feel as though my boyfriend (domestic partner) is not being very supportive. He is opposed to the calorie-counting thing, calls me "obsessive" regarding watching what I eat, and has been (whether intentionally or unintentionally) trying to sabotage my diet. I'm fine with the fact that he is eating junk food in front…

Stand up for yourself!
I've read so many articles where people are receiving negatives comments from friends, family, or coworkers. Do NOT let these people make you feel ashamed. Call them out! If someone says that you're going to gain the weight back, here are some appropriate responses: "Don't you think that is an extremely rude thing to say?"…

Hunger pangs lessening
I started a diet about a week ago...am restricting myself to 1,200 calories. At first I was starving and hungry all the time! Now I almost never get hunger pangs. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing? I wonder if it is because my stomach shrunk or I just don't notice them anymore?

Goals: 10 lbs by Jan. 15 What I will do differently: no wine, 1,200 cals a day *sniffle*, food diary Problems I expect to have: Basically these revolve around my…

Vegetable Omelets
This is one of my low-cal favorites! Two eggs and .5 tsp of oil are just 140 calories! Veggies only add approximately 10-20 more calories. If you can't live without cheese, here is a version that uses egg whites and part-skim mozzarella that is only 201 calories!…
