still not losing weight. HELP?!
I am trying so hard but getting no results. Im not looking for a quick fix either. This has been going on over a year. I lose maybe 5 pounds at a time and then it comes back a month later. I eat fairly healthy ( still have a few slipups) but I NEVER go over 1500 calories a day. I walk about 1 hour each day plus constantly…

goodbye 170's!!!!
Hi, my name is Abby and I weigh 169 pounds today! I have always been small. Even after having my children I was never over 130. When I was 9 months pregnant with my son my highest was 177.

Not a breakfast person?
I have never liked breakfast food very much. When I was a kid my mom would have to make me eat something. By middle school I was skipping breakfast altogether. Later in life when I became pregnant I forced myself to eat cheerios and a banana every morning even though I didnt want it. My stomach is just not awake until…

30 grams of fiber within 30 minutes...
I recently saw a 'health expert' on one of these talk shows. One of his weight loss tips that kinda made sense was to eat 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. We all know protein is healthy and it helps build muscle...which also helps fight the fat. But really how many of us actually have time to eat…

your favorite exercise?
I'm pretty new on here. I've been dieting on and off for a few years. This time I need to get serious about it. Last year I broke my leg, which equaled zero exercise for over 6 months. Now I'm slowly getting back into walking everyday. My favorite exercise used to be the elliptical. I think I liked it because it was easy.…

How long did it take to see results?
I've been tracking my foods and exercising for about 2 weeks now. The scale is not moving at all. About 2 years ago I did this and after 6 months nothing changed. I mean, I did feel much healthier and stronger but the weight was about the same. I'm 27 and I think age is finally catching up to me. I have to be super strict…

When my children were babies I stayed so skinny because they kept me busy. Now they are getting older and require less attention. I know once i go back to work I will…
