The "diet mentality" Just stop :)
I have a bit of a rant about what I hear and read when people are trying to lose weight. Get off the yoyo and stop the diet mentality. The diet industry has 5 percent success rate long term. When people go on certain diets, the diet takes the credit. But what about long term? When people no longer can restrict certain…

Diet lies
Hello friends, I have been saying this for years. The is an amazing article I saw yesterday that is a must post. I am assuming this woman used to work at either nutrisystem or jenny craig. My guess is JC since NS hasn't had centers for many years. It's powerful and honest.…

Fitbit One Help Please
I just love my new fitbit one. Got it from HSN for 89 dollars. Anyway, I used it for the first time yesterday and it is awesome. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to set a "trip" or whatever you call it when you first start a workout. Yesterday, I just counted but is there any way that you can re set for each…

Frustrated
at how many people are so anti gay marriage. I am finding it hard to be nice to people who say you're a bigot if you don't agree that marriage is one woman and one man. To me that's like saying since I am Jewish I should be tolerant of Nazi's. It gets me so frustrated that they cherry pick the bible. It gets me so…

losing momentum and requesting support please
I always start off gung ho. I always start to lose momentum around 3 weeks into it- I am now 3 weeks into it. I have a lot of stressors right now.... which is a huge trigger for me. I have been unemployed since October. I was offered a job but it was 55 miles away and I decided not to take it because if I took it, I'd have…

statements that I never use....
"I am dieting." "I cheated on my diet." "I was good/bad yesterday." :"Don't eat after 6pm." "Lifting weights cause women to bulk up." "I will start lifting weights once I lose weight to tone up." "I am a failure because I went off my diet." "Can you eat that on your diet?" "Once I lose weight, I will go on maintenance." "I…

Seeking accoutability buddies who get it.....
I don't believe in diets- I believe in healthy eating and exercise. I don't being in being skinny- I want to be fit and healthy- skinny people aren't always healthy I don't believe in beating myself up- No one ever guilted anyone into good health. I don't believe in losing weight for an event- Once that event is over, then…

If anyone is interested in joining me for a free conference call where we talk about positive weight management support, fitness - let me know. Kind of like a stay at home telephonic weight watchers without the cost. No weigh ins unless you want to share. Sure message boards are nice- but I would like to facilitate a phone…

Hello, I got this book a year ago and followed it but didn't follow through enough so took it out yesterday and have a lot of goals. I wanted to know if anyone else is following this book? www.30daypush.com

Resolutions are
kind of silly. If I see one more weight loss commercial I am going to scream! :) LOL Ok with that being said.... Goals and consistency are important. I lost lots of weight and am up quite a bit. I can beat myself up or move forward. I choose to move forward. If anyone wants support, send me a message, add me. I must be…

thoughts on exercise and why it's NOT torture :)
Check out my blog- but this is my latest entry-- any thoughts? www.fitorgetoffthepot.blog.com I am one of the lucky ones. My endorphins go off the charts during any kind of work out. I wish I could put it in a bottle because it’s better than any medication out there!!!!! A lot of people view workouts as a punishment. When…

Tired of this challenge/battle which never ends...
I generally do my best with being positive. I am 43 years old and realized that I have been dealing with this battle/challenge or whatever you call it for nearly 30 years. I am tired of being a weight yo yo. I am tired of feeling hungry even though I eat. I love working out so that's not an issue for me but tired of…

Anyone doing a hybrid of Turbo Jam/Fire and Les Mills?
Ok that's generally what I am doing! Anyone want to join me???

43 year old can never have too many friends :)
Add me if you believe weight management is a journey that fad diets are insane that losing weight isn't going to just make you happy- your mind makes you happy too. that being prejudice against others is not cool (race, weight, sexuality, etc) that working out is essential for healthy weight management that you can't lose…

My goal is to be FIT, NOT SKINNY!
Do I want to be SKINNY? No thank you! I'd rather be FIT! Skinny to me could equate to illness and sickness. It doesn't always equate to healthy. There are SKINNY Aids and Cancer victims. Skinny people can be unhealthy and NOT fit. I think I've heard a word for that called Skinny -fat. It's very sad when I hear women say…

Menopause anyone??
I am 43 years old, and had a hysterectomy in 2008. I am now feeling like I am going through menopause, hot and cold at night, can't sleep right, and now what used to work for me with weight loss doesn't seem to be working as great as it used to work. I am finding that I can't have as much salt, and that even if I work out…

The word "failure" and my problem with the "diet" industry.
Why do people call themselves failures if they gain weight? You are NOT a failure. I honestly do believe, after nearly 30 years of weight loss challenges, that it is a shame that the diet industry doesn't consider themselves a "failure" and failing so many people. I have heard that only 5 percent of people who lose weight…

Exercise is NOT a torture or punishment! :) Motivation for t
Remember when you were younger, as a kid, when you LOVED to be outside and ride your bike and run around. That was called PLAY, not TORTURE. I remember when I was a kid, me and my friends would ride our bikes around the corner and time ourselves. We weren't thinking of calories lost (I dont' think I knew what a calorie…

cardio burn on exercise diary
appears to be way off mark- for example, I burned 500 calories doing 40 min of elliptical today- if I use the MPF number, they have me burning close to 800. Why the discrepancy?

Does anyone here use the following diet mentalithy words
such as CHEATING BAD, as in I WAS BAD I am ON a diet (not the same as I eat a healthy diet) do people still try to lose weight because of an event, or not have breakfast without realizing how badly it screws up their metabolism? Or feel that if they eat a cookie , not a whole bag, but ONE, that they screwed up their whole…

Work Outs
Where do you guys work out? I have a very cheap membership to Ballys- there have been so many gyms that have sprung up in the last couple years which makes it great due to competition. Years ago, a bally's membership would have been 40 a month- how you can get it for 9.99 every 2 weeks. I love LA fitness but it's more…
