Im curious...
I hear that while you may be losing weight according to the scale it could take your body a while to show the weightloss because it redistributes itself. Is this true?

Can you help?
So I haven't lost any weight in a couple months. I don't think the fact I've been on bed rest for the past month has helped either. Would someone be able to look at my food diary and tell me if I am doing something wrong? I've been trying to stagger my calories so my weekely calories even out to about 1200 calories a day,…

Very Frustrated!
I have been stuck at the same weight and inches for nearly 2 months now! I've tried changing up my calorie intake, excersising more, everything!! The weight just wont drop! Its my goal to be 190 lbs by October 19th for my vacation and that means I got 15 lbs to go! I don't know what to do anymore and I'm mad.

A Question for the ladies...
Ok so right before and during my TOM I'm starving!! Like I can't stop eating, my stomach is screaming type hungry! I try eating protien and other foods that fill you up and keep you full but I still feel like I haven't eaten in a week. Anyone else have this problem? How do you stop the need to eat!! Chocolate especially is…

I really need some encouragement
I have to be on coumadin because I have a DVT blood clot in my leg in addition to 10-20 blood clots in my lungs. To top it off I'm on crutches recovering from ankle reconstructive surgery. If I go off the coumadin I die....Unfortunately it has some horrible side affects and there is no alternative drug. Let me say this…
-
Is this ok?
Ok so I am on medication that packs quite the calories....so I eat about 700-900 calories a day in food and the rest of the calories come from my blood thinners. Is this ok or should I eat 1200 calories a day plus tack on the 500 calories from the meds. I am only supposed to consume 1200 calories a day.

Anyone else have this problem?
I had surgery on August 6th to rebuild my ankle. About a week later is was discovered I have a blood clot that stretches from my knee halfway into my calf and three days after that it was discovered I have about 5-10 clots in each lung. So lucky me I was put on Coumadin (Warfain) and Lovenox. :grumble: I'm still eating…

I hate this!!!!
Tonight I have to get fast food, although I really don't want to, and the only one that is close to my house is McDonalds. I have been rummaging through their menus trying to find something that wont totally ruin my day and not a single thing to eat is under 300 calories. Here I was thinking I would get one of the chicken…

Whoever said this isn't a work out is full of it
Whoever says crutches aren't a work out is full of it. I had my ankle reconstructed on Thursday and am now hobbling around downtown Denver on crutches with a 10 lbs splint on my ankle. I used to be a varsity tennis player and also hunt and hike and let me tell you this is one of the hardest workouts I've done. Not only do…

So Awesome!!!
I finally got to go shopping the other day after dropping 4 dress sizes and was so pleased to find that Forever 21, which offers really nice clothes for women in their 20s has a "plus" size section. Actually, these are sizes for normal women and even have normal sized maniquins!! All the clothes are made for curvy women to…

Bummer....
I'm in a cast at the moment and my scale at home wont work will be balancing on just one foot so I can no longer do a weekly weighin. I'm really bummed out because watching that scale go down every week really kept me motivated. I'm terrified that in 8 weeks when the cast is removed that I will get on the scale and see…

A question for the ladies...
I know that women tend to gain weight for their TOM but as I am new to the whole weightloss thing I need a little help. Do women tend to gain (I guess its actually retaining water) before or during their TOM? How much weight gain? Does it go away right after?
-
I lost 1 lb!!!
Ok so I know that doesn't sound like much but I have been plateaued for a month now and haven't been able to lose a thing!! I got weighed today and I am down a whole pound!!! I'm so excited!! I hope these means the platuea is broken!!
-
Does this happen to anyone else?
I hit a platuea so after taking the advice of others on here I decided to eat maintainence for two weeks then return to my diet. But I gained a couple lbs while doing this. Does this happen to anyone else? Is this normal? Im hoping that when I got back on my diet on Friday those lbs will fall right off.
-
So frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the 3rd week in a row I'm stuck at the same weight!!!!!!! :explode: I'm still eating healthy, getting plenty of sleep, and drinking tons of water and still no weightloss!!! I even tried doing a couple of maintence days to jump start me!! Help I'm so frustrated! :mad: :sad:

I had my father over last night for dinner and I helped myself to two slice of fresh baked French bread. (Im a sucker for fresh bread.) Well I just realized I went over my calorie limit by 300 calories. Will this impact my weightloss for the week greatly? I reached a platuea so this weekend I had a maintence day to get me…

Is it possible to loose 4 lbs a week after you shed all the water weight? (While still eating healthy and being active) If so, how do you do this?

However, I am still eating 1200 calories and no longer starving but I feel guilty all the time, like somehow I am eating to much but when I review my diary I haven't even…
