Over 40 fat busters/metabolism boosters? Dr Oz
*disclaimer that I am not advising anyone to take any of these things and I am not a doctor or expert in ANY way!* :) Just recalling a tv show I saw... So I watched this Dr Oz show for the first time today about how hard it is to lose weight once you hit 40 (which I will be in a week..yikes). Not sure if this has been…

How long without losing is truly a "plateau"?
Hi All, I am going on two weeks with no weight loss. Only days I have been above cals is 2 days last weekend (and it's not like I went crazy..it was still mostly on the good side..like I ate out but still no desserts or anything). I have had some remaining calories because when I do "workout" it is usually a 20 minute…

Good starting out exercise DVD?
So I see a lot of talk about the great results everyone is getting from workout dvd's like 30 day shred, P90X and insanity. But they all sound very challenging. Not sure if they are good for beginners? Anyone have suggestions on the best one when you are just starting to workout? I have been walking and doing some 20…

Disappointed, even though I realize..
Disappointed, even though I realize this isn't a sprint, it's a marathon, and all that good stuff. I have been reading forums like crazy here and they are very helful and uplifting. But sometimes I do compare myself to others and think, why can they lose so much and I can't? I know I have lost 6 pounds in almost 5 weeks…

Need ideas for low carb/low sugar snacks please.
So I eat my meals which tend to take many carbs so at snack time I certainly don't need more of them. But when I think of something I like its always carb heavy too. Any suggestions?

Lost pounds today? Low sodium yesterday the reason?
So I have been at this for about 3 weeks. Started 201.6 and been rotating between 199-200 since I started. Yesterday morning scale (once again) said 199.4. I was at home yesterday where I tend to eat better than when I have to work so I had, for me, a low sodium day. This morning on the scale, it said 197. Lowest yet. I…

Good thing there was a hair in my soup!
Ate out for lunch, got grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo. With a cup of their homemade chicken noodle soup. There was a hair in it (proof it was homemade I guess??) so I didn't eat it. Luckily.. I'd probably be over cals already. I did guess at 0.4 serving of a small mcd's fries because I caved into having 8 thin fries…

New (and already struggling)- From Chicagoland
Hi All. Downloaded the app 2 weeks ago and just realized there is a whole online side of this. Was glad to see all the success stories. The day I started this I weighed 201.6 but that was a shock because I was usually 199, like earlier that week. So, after 2 weeks, scale still says 199. So even though I have technically…
