biggest loser
Hey there, does any one know when the biggest loser is starting again...
finally
I joined this web site in December 07, and was very faithful sticking to the 1200 calories that the site recommended, and also worked out faithfully. BUT... I had no success, not even one little pound. Well 4 weeks ago I started working with a personal trainer, which I just love. She told me to boost my calories to 1400,…
anyone else out there...
Is there anyone else out there who has quit smoking in the last year or so, and who is having a heck of a time loosing weight or inches? I quit smoking 15 months ago...I have been working very hard at trying to loose the weight that I gained, but am having absolutely nooooo luck. I even did cardio core boot camp for three…
back at it...
Well a year ago I quit smoking ( where did the year go?) , and I have been trying for 9 months to loose the weight that I gained, with no success. I have been on this site, done weight watchers , worked out at curves etc. After a visit with my doctor the other day, she told me that a year is the magic number. She said that…
cardio bootcamp
Has anyone tried a cardio bootcamp? Just wondering; as I am starting one next Monday and am quite excited, but don't really know what to expect...
metabolism question
Can anyone help me with a metabolism question? In September I quit smoking, I was prepared to gain some weight, which I did. 13 pounds. In December , after maintaining that weight for about a month, I joined this web site. Well it has been five months now, and I have only lost 1 pound. I am watching my intake of food,…
depressing or motivational
So today I bought myself a new workout outfit and a new pair of pants. When I got home I decided to clean out the closet. Im not sure if that was a great idea or not. It was very depressing to come across a few pair of size 3 pants. I haven't decided if this should depress me even more , or give me more motivation. I am so…
A sad day & a fresh start
This last month or so has been an emotional and physical rollercoaster ride. As some of you may know my mother in law has been in hospice for the past month. So needless to say the stress levels have been fairly high, as well as not eating properly or exercising regularly. Well last night she lost her battle with cancer.…
quick question
I have read on here before that you should eat your exercise calories, but!!!!! My calories goal for the day is 1200 , I have earned 987 calories from almost 5 hours of housework and gardening. I have consumed 1339 calories today , leaving 849 remaing. I really don't think I should eat those? Right? Wrong? Thats where I…
ready to give up
I know you have all heard my whining before, but I am soo discouraged. I have been working very hard at this since Dec 31, and as of today I have not lost one pound. I have increased my exercise. I eat most of my exercise calories. I have even gone over calories for about a month now, thinking I might be in starvation…
help with calories burned
Today at work we received two semi loads of furniture, I spent 7 hours moving , unpackaging and building furniture. I am sore and exhausted as this is definately not a regular thing. I have no idea how to record the calories burned. I must of moved a lot because I wear a pedometer and it says I've done over 14000 steps…
What am I doing wrong?
I have been at this for two months now, and had lost 2 pounds. I weighed this morning and I am back to where I started. I have gone from no water a day to a minimum of 5 a day. Eleminated soda and sugars. Increased whole wheats, veggies, and fruits. Exercising every day. So about a week and a half ago, when things hadn't…
female question
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. When I get my period I am constantly starving. I am hungry al the time and Just don't feel full. I try to fill up on water and healthy stuff, but it just doesn't seem to be enough... help:frown:
my scales not broke...
Finally, after three weeks my scale has moved. Its only 1 pound, but I am very excited. At least I know im doing something right. Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!:flowerforyou:
Hurt feelings
:sad: :cry: Having a really rough day today. Im at work and just had a customer ask me if I was pregnant? I said no, and she turns to me and says "woah Missy what are you doing, are you ever getting fat!!" So needless to say I have spent the last hour crying my eyes out....:cry:
water retention
Last night I decided to do my measurement. (YUK) anyways, I was down 1/2``, but then decided to measure again this morning, and noticed that my waist was down 2` from last night. Im thinking its probably water retention at the end of the day. Anyone else have this problem, and what do I do Dawn
calories left over
I have a question, if someone could help me out. It is almost 9pm and I still have 168 calories left for the day. Is it a big deal if I eat less than the recommended calories for the day? :huh: :huh:
disappointed
Feeling a little upset today. Just finished my first week, I did well with both the calories and exercising. Did a weight in this morning... one scale had me up a pound, and another scale had me down a pound. :cry: I realize that I could be building muscle, but feel a little discouraged looking at those #'s.... Oh well…
