won't it just even out
I have been doing this for a while now, and it is working. Roughly 26 weeks with 26 pound loss. I know that soon I will reach my goal weight. I just can't imagine eating more than I do now, I eat a lot. If I just keep going with the same amount of calories and exercise, won't my weight just even out with how may calories I…

I couldn't do this without . . .
Just curious as to what are the things the you couldn't do without on your weight loss journey. I know for me I couldn't have made it this far without the gym nursery, it gets me to the gym every morning they are open.

My husbands family is so negative, asking both my husband and I if we think we had lost enough weight, why don't you want any ice cream and cake. Why can't…

Fiber and Protein
I have noticed that a few people say how they went over on their protein and fiber allowance like it is as bad as going over on calories or fat. I just assumed that if you are staying within the limits on everything else, by going over on protein and fiber, it doesn't do any harm. Doesn't your body just "get rid of" what…

confused
I have a calorie goal of like 1467 a day. Generally I come in under every day, I will sometimes go to 1500, but not usually. But I exercise almost everyday and that adds calories to my goal. Should I really go by that. If I don't consume that calories that I burn during exercise, I am probably only totalling like 1200 or…

I'm at it again!
I always thought counting calories or keeping a food journal was ridiculous, how can it really help you lose weight, really? But after having my third child and struggling with extra weight, I figured it couldn't hurt anything to try. I was shocked by how many extra calories I was eating in the day!! After 4 weeks I had…
