Oddity
Do you wanna know something weird? Whenever I track my calories, bite by bite, and plan my meals to the T I gain weight. Whenever I eat as I feel hungry, and don't track, I lose. I'm messed up. Any insight? The only thing I can think of is that #1. I'm not eating enough when I do track #2. Maybe my numbers are wrong with…

Finally a success story I can share
My name is Sarah. I'm 29, currently 313.9 pounds. I've always wanted to post on the success stories board, but I figured since I'm still so large, I really didn't have any place to. But, I just finished a four week bootcamp where I lost 23.8 pounds and 4.5 inches off my belly. I have pictures and I just wanted to share. I…

Your advice will help me decide...
How to enter my workouts on the exercise tab. I can never figure out how to enter my calorie burns from Walk Away the Pounds Videos...today I did a Walk and Kick which switched between walking and kick boxing. I know my calorie burn was higher than just a walk because I was sweating so bad that my shirt is drenched...any…

Workout videos, I do boot camp workouts 3 times a week, I bike both outdoors and on a recumbent bike about 40 miles a week.

Please help me!
I was wondering if anyone has a good "toning" routine they would share? I'm currently 333 lbs, and I am losing right now at a rate of about 10 lbs a month. I want to make sure that I'm toning (my arms especially) as I lose. Right now I just am doing about 10 reps bicep curls and tricep lifts with 10 lb weights, plus doing…

FDA Approved New Diet Drug
I just read an article about the FDA approving a new diet drug...It said that most of the testers saw a 10% drop in body weight in a year. I have lost 5% of my weight in about 2 months...I plan on hitting 10% in May. That's 5 months...AND I will not have to deal with the side effects. Of course, the FDA states that the…

Herbed Vinegar
Has anyone every used herbed vinegar? Is this something I can just find at walmart or a regular grocery store? What are you opinions on it?

Ahh!! Burning tongue!
Is balsamic vinegar a dressing for salad? I thought for sure it was, but I just had it on my spinach salad and my tongue is burning and I feel nauseous from it! HAHAHA....

Vent to avoid binge
I really don't want to be a whiner, but I'm just having a bad day. I feel like I'm pulled 40 different directions, and that I satisfy no one. I know that lots of people feel this way, but I just need to vent it out before I "eat it out." I've cried like 3 different times today just because I feel people don't realize the…

Blood Sugar Question: Repost
Hi there! Just a quick question...looking for some insight. I have type 2 diabetes, that is very well controlled. My A1C is around 5.0 at this time. Anyways, I'm getting back on the wagon, so to speak and trying to shed pounds, and I wanted to start listening to my body and eat when I started feeling hungry. However, I'm…

What a difference a few days makes!
I'm so excited! I just stepped on the scale. I'm in that initial "pounds melting off stage" and I'm totally loving it! I've been here before. I've done this, but this time feels so victorious due to the emotional/physical/spiritual conflict that I'm finally making my way out of. I'm just so happy. In 3 days of tracking my…

So very broken.
Sometimes this battle seems so overwhelming. How am I ever going to lose over 200 lbs? How will I ever be healthy? I know that if I was responding to this post, I would say, "One lb, one goal at a time." But, I'm honestly at a point where all I can do is cry. I no longer feel productive. Just sad. :( Not even sure how the…

Just Being Honest
I really wish I didn't love TIm Hortons' Mocha Iced Capp so much. Or the honey cruellers. Or the chococate danishes. And I really really wish that my work was not within 2 minutes of Tim Hortons. I have to drive the back way to avoid it because I am not feeling strong enough to avoid it today.... But, despite the fact that…

Getting back on track
I hate when I've been off track for a while, and when I restart how all my healthy foods taste icky. Now, after I've been eating healthy for a week or so, they will start to taste great, but man, these first few days are always brutal for a junk-food-aholic. *Sigh*. I will keep plugging on. Cuz that's what I do my friends!

Cleaning Up
I've noticed that if my house is clean, then my eating is likely to be cleaner too. Does anyone else find that to be true, or am I just weird. Working on some extra cleaning and streamlining in our house to get back on track. I'm a little overwhelmed with everything right now.

socks
Sometimes I get so tired that I can not remember if I still have socks on or not. And then I realize I've been pondering if I have them on or not for sooo long, and all I would have had to do is just look down...

Exercising with a Headache
I had set a goal today of doing 341 stairs...1 stair for every pound I weighed in at today. However, I went to bed with and woke up with an awful headache. I don't have my blood pressure cuff here, but it doesn't feel like a BP headache...and my blood sugars are fine (checked this this AM). It bothers me a little about…

135
135 is my goal weight. That's still 200 lbs away. But...a few months ago it was 220 lbs away. I'm making progress. I could get there! Ok, I will get there. So, If I have to lose 20 lbs every 3 months....and I have 11 sets of 20 to do, it would take me about 3 years. I can so do this. Slowly. Steadily. And faithfully. I…

IMAGES
So, I have this problem, and I'm not sure if it will make sense to anyone else but me...but I'm hoping some one else will relate. I can easily imagine myself losing 100 lbs. No problem. I know the formula. I know how to do what I need to. The problem is, I can't imagine myself getting any smaller. That visualization is so…

Fat and Flying
I'm booking a trip to Nashville this summer. I haven't flown in a while...and I think I could actually be down to the weight I've flown at before by the time of my trip. But, my question is...what are these policies on buying two seats? I know I can fit in one seat...I just need a seatbelt extention. Has anyone ever been…
