How do you think of the end result...
...when you don't remember ever being thin? I don't remember ever being smaller - overweight my entire life... before my teenage years I just remember being the tallest girl in my class, so always uncomfortable in my own skin. How do you focus on the end when you don't have anything to compare it to? I've been doing some…

TOM - does your weight go up or down?
Does anyone know how hormones play into it? I've always gone up about 7 pounds that week of the month, today my weight went down 3. Don't want to get too excited about the prospect of things changing after all these years of dealing with it.

Chocolate Filled Strawberries
I saw this on Pinterest and thought I should try it - win win for everyone in my family and a win win for my waistline! Just hull out medium/large strawberries, melt some chocolate chips in the microwave, and spoon the melted chocolate inside the strawberries. It only took about 30 seconds to a minute to melt the…

App vs machine calories
I just downloaded an app that has many reviews for being reliable. It had me put in my weight to figure out calories. Then I hopped on my stationary bike to see how it compared to the settings, and it only took 6 min on the app to burn 100 calories, while the bike was close to 22 minutes. The app seems to calculate…

Do you ever just have meat free days?
I love my meat and chicken, but I seem to be craving my veggies more often. Do I have to have protein everyday?

Emotional eater did not cave in today
I'm an emotional eater and a stress eater. Today my husband had surgery and was admitted into the hospital, and instead of grabbing the junk food I really wanted to pass the time with in the waiting room/cafeteria, I walked around the hospital and took the stairs up and down for 6 hours. I love the fact that for once I had…

What are you doing for exercise?
I just wanted some ideas as to what you are doing. I love my Biggest Loser workout videos - power walk and calorie knockout. I also like taking my dog on walks and riding the stationary bike. I can't yet comfortably jog/run, maybe someday soon. Thanks for the support!

Meeting the in laws for Chinese tonight
I know what I want to order tonight, but that really isn't an option since I don't want to regret it tomorrow morning. What do you eat at a Chinese restaurant and not feel guilty the next day? How do you go about figuring out the calories for your meal when it's a plate of this/that at a Chinese restaurant. Thanks!

I love my roasted veggies

When out of the oven, add a little mixture of fresh garlic, black pepper, and tad of salt to the green beans to the…

aerobics vs. circuit
What is the difference between them? I thought my Biggest Loser videos were aerobics because of the kickboxing, jumping jacks, etc, but should they be classified under circuit because they have a mixture of weights as well and different exercises?

gall bladder surgery
Hi. I need some help and I don't really know who to ask... my husband is having gall bladder surgery on Thursday and I don't know what to expect as to meals for after the surgery. The doctor doesn't have any suggestions, though we've asked. Has anyone had gall bladder surgery and could share what kinds of food to plan on…

why gain while lost inches?
I just finished week one and the scale went up, but my waist measurement went down by 2 inches... I worked my butt off this week, maybe I wasn't supposed to work so hard week 1? Any advice to share? I guess I'm conflicted as to what to do this coming week.

Fruits and veggies when you aren't hungry?
I'm not hungry (well that is a first). I didn't eat all my veggies/fruits for today and I have calories left. Would you eat the veggies if you aren't hungry? How important is it to eat them every day? Thanks for the advice.

How long have you been using this site?
Hi, I signed up about 30 minutes ago. I signed up because I finally have motivation to lose weight. My boys have been my motivation in the past, but obviously I needed something bigger since all the weight came back. I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago for allergy issues, she ran updated lab tests and I found out…
