gaining and losing the same 1 pound
is so freaking FRUSTRATING. I've been stuck for almost 3 weeks. I know I need to be patient and that it took me 9 months (+) to put the weight on, so it's going to be slow getting it off, but MAN. Give me an OUNCE. Just an OUNCE!! (I think because changing my habits = losing a lot of weight the first month, I just thought…

how to do weight training without going to the gym?
I don't have a gym membership and I'm not going to get one (had a bad experience with Bally's and refuse to join another gym, ever.) I walk and do zumba and love both but see "lift heavy" advice here a lot. Is there a home workout you'd recommend? I don't own equipment or dumbbells or kettlebells (although I could pick…

what to do when sick?
I've been SICK for the last two days and I'm finding it hard to get all my calories in ... and of course, I have not exercised AT ALL. Should I just not worry about it until I am feeling better? Or is there some magical food to eat when I just can't even think about putting food into my mouth (and everything tastes like…

freaking out - talk me down
I ate back my exercise calories today, minus 100. Tomorrow the scale is going to blow up, right? This is not the beginning of the end of my lifestyle change, right? I'm not off the horse. I'm helping the horse go farther with more fuel. RIGHT? ACK!!!

explain BMR like I'm five years old
My BMR (calculated from scooby site) is 1635 and my TDEE is 2533. So that means I should eat at least 1600 cal a day to lose 1 lb a week, right? and eat back my exercise calories? I've been eating about 1400 a day and have lost 23 lbs but have hit a standstill lately. I'm not hungry, but from what I've been reading (read…

at what point do you switch over from cardio?
I admit it: I was a couch potato. So just getting up and walking three times a week made me lose weight. And then adding in zumba once a week made me lose weight. Now I am walking 4-5 times a week and zumba once a week. Still losing. Next I want to try zumba two days a week. Anyway, I am still losing so I am happy. But at…

spouse is depressed over weight loss?
I have lost 21 lbs. My H hasn't said anything to me about it (I don't think he's really noticed, or if he has, he doesn't want to "say the wrong thing.") But since losing so much, being on a health kick, lifestyle change, exercising more, etc ... my mood has gotten better and better. And I notice that my H is sort of sad…

kale chips
I have made these three nights in a row. 2 cups of kale, 2 tsp of olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt. Bake 300 for 21 minutes and voila, an amazing snack. But I am wondering ... is it possible to eat too many? I've been logging the snack in at 110 calories, but maybe that isn't right? Thoughts?

Tell me not to eat right now
It's 10 pm here. I am not hungry; I am bored. Just knowing that is HUGE for me. I'm also tired and found myself wandering around my kitchen, thinking about a snack. I DO NOT NEED A SNACK. Help me talk myself out of eating right now. This is my WORST time, and the point of the day when I ruin every good thing I did previous.

I've lost 20 lbs so far!
I feel like this deserves some kind of AW post about it. I still have another 30 to get to my goal weight, but I was so happy this morning when I stepped on the scale. I feel better, have more energy, and am just HAPPY these days. :)
