Lose weight by just cutting calories!:( HELP!
Has anyone lost weight by just calorie counting? My problem is that with work and my busy life, some days I don't have the time or strength to do any exercise. This happens only maybe 2 or 3 times a week. It just a lot for me to do cardio in the morning before work, wedding planning, then go to work for 9 hours, then come…

How do I stop myself from weighing daily? Argh!
So, here's the dealio. (Yeah, that's right. I said dealio.) When I started my weight loss journey, I was exercising at least 4 times a week. I usually went for a walk, did some 30 day shred, went to the gym here and there, yadda yadda. I was watching what I ate all the time. Still do. Anyway, at the beginning of October I…

Champix saved my life. Month 8 of being a non-smoker!
I feel like I need to share in case there are people who smoke out there looking for ways to quit smoking. I'll start with my history with smoking. I grew up with both my parents smoking. I used to always think to myself that I would never be a "smoker" myself, not after seeing how it affected their health AND finances.…

Motivation Depleted. *sigh*
It's Friday. That means the weekend is here almost and my motivation to lose weight will be out the window for the next few days. I require socialization and a drink or two (or seven) of wine.

TDEE Calculations-Am I doing this right?
I am 24 years old. Weigh 233 lbs right now and am 5'7". I exercise 3-5 times a week. The calculator states my TDEE is 2891. So, to lose 1.5 lbs a week I need to eat 750 calories LESS than my TDEE. I've been eating around 1400 cals a day. I should be okay, right? I know it's a ridiculous question seeing how I'm pretty sure…

OTC Diet Supplements-Do they work?
I've been seeing so many commercials about supplements to take while you're counting calories and exercising, and I'm just interested in knowing if anyone's had any success with them? The commercials are saying that they increase fat burning and whatnot. Any success with anyone taking these? Did they help?
