Ready to throw in the towel...help!
My husband and I started the P90 program (not the p90x), and I've been tracking my eating/calories on this site. I've passed the 30 day mark and have not lost any weight, and probably have only lost about an inch on my waist and hips. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it's a bit frustrating to have put all of this…

Frustrated...knee trouble...questions
Weeks ago I started running/walking 3x/week. Within the last 2-3 weeks I got Jillian Michael's 30-day shred and was doing that every day for 20 minutes. Now I seem to be having problems with my right knee. It's really not sore or painful, it just makes this terrible cracking noise. I can't get to a doctor until early next…

calorie counter for exercise??
Is there anything you can buy that tracks how many calories you're burning as your workout--similar to a pedometer, I guess?? I go to a zumba class, and online I've found you can burn anywhere from 500-1000 calories. That's a HUGE difference, and I honestly don't think I'm burning 500 but I could be wrong. I'd really like…

I'm back....
I joined about the same time last year. At that time I lost the weight I wanted to lose, and I did a pretty good job of keeping it off until the school year started. Since I'm a teacher, I was off all summer, got back to work in September and became stressed out with a lot of changes in my position. For me, stress=food.…

starvation mode??
Could someone please explain... This was on my home page today... "Based on your total calories consumed for today, you are eating too few calories. Not only is it difficult to receive adequate nutrition at these calorie levels, but you could also be putting your body into starvation mode. Starvation mode lowers your…

Very proud of myself!
Today was my final weigh in for the Diet Derby at work. I've been on this site for 8 weeks, and I've lost a total of 11 pounds. I'm so psyched because my goal was 10. I have become a firm believer in this site and how it can help you lose and maintain weight! My next goal is just that...to maintain and maybe lose a few…

Midmorning cravings
I'm writing this post for my husband..... He's complaining about getting midmorning cravings where he feels like he could eat a whole meal. So, what does he do...heads to the vending machine and buys junk. I've tried to give him some suggestions, but I thought I'd ask all of you for some help too. He doesn't eat much for…

Frustrated...need some suggestions.
Hi, I'm feeling a little defeated at the moment and I need to know what I'm doing wrong. My goal 8 weeks ago was to lose 10 pounds. I've been tracking my food and my exercise and I'm getting close, but I don't think I'm going to reach my 10 pound goal. I only lost a half pound this week, and I don't understand why? I know…

First Weigh In
Hi All, I just wanted to post and say that I had my first weigh in today and I lost 2 pounds! It doesn't seem like much, but I was worried I hadn't lost anything, so I was very happy!! It gives me incentive to keep going and to get up early and run on the treadmill tomorrow :happy:

Weight training??
Due to my full-time job and being a full-time parent, I do my exercising at home, not at a gym. I have a treadmill, so I run and walk. I also take dance lessons. I do not have any equipment for weight training at home. Does anyone have some good, inexpensive suggestions on what I can do since it is important and I don't…

Help!!! The weekends are going to kill me!
How does everyone cope with the weekends? My husband and I have a circle of friends who we hang out with regularly, and of course it involves drinking and sometimes going out to eat. I know they all support me in my efforts to lose some weight, but it is soooooooooooo difficult to make good choices in foods and not drink…

New to the site
Hi...I am another newbie to the site. Hoping to reach my weight goal by spring break! I've never done real well with diets. I think this site will help me stay on track by logging what I eat each day. The hard part will be sticking to it and not caving in. :)
