starting again, needing support
I am 40 and it's getting harder to drop weight. I work long hours and have two busy kids. I work and drive or chase them around. I can't remember the last time I exercised. If I had to schedule it this week, I would have to miss sleep. I know that I am supposed to make priorities, but as a single mom who is married…

Wheat Free
I am recently diagnosed as wheat intolerant and am struggling with what I can eat and afford to prepare for me & kids. It sounds easy to say eat meat and fresh veggies. It is hard to be on the run with busy kids and have a job that needs snacks because eating can be irregular. I am looking for friends who help me get going…

on plateau--how long do you yoyo or raise calories?
I've been stuck for a while. I'm wanting to know just how long do you raise calories or yoyo to see a difference. I've been doing yoyo calories for 1 1/2 wks with no change yet. 6 weeks of no loss and really just bouncing 3 pounds around. I have been exercising every other day or everyday, interval training on treadmill. I…

Game/exercise on the Wii
I've got a Wii with 4 controlers and 2 nunchucks. What game would you recommend that would be exercise? A dance one? I want something fun and even an older one would be fine by me--used is good. Being able to compete with my kids would make me more likely to keep it up so there could be stakes on it, like loser cleans the…

seems like i'm starting on a plateau, input please?
I posted this early today not thinking that many of you were still in bed that early :) I feel like I've started on a plateau! I've been at this for 5 weeks (maybe 3 more before getting on here and tracking it) or so and at first I gained 4 pounds, lost them then dropped 3 pounds and have been fluctuating between 3 lost…

Looking for those who started on a plateau

I've been at this for 5 weeks (maybe 3 more before getting on here and tracking it) or so and at first I gained 4 pounds, lost them then dropped 3 pounds and have been fluctuating between 3 lost and the start weight. I've watched my calories, struggled to eat back my exercise calories…

What do you do with zucchini?
It"s that time of year. Zucchini everywhere. You find it on the porch when you come home. The neighbors are afraid you will say no so they just leave it! I've cubed it with new potatoes and roasted it with salt, pepper and garlic. What else? I grew up with it being breaded and fried or made into "bread". Both are too high…

Knee Pain, need home workout DVD
I've been trying to the 30 Day Shred but my knees are making it very difficult. I modify movements but I don't think I'm getting the full workout because of it. I would like to find a DVD to use at home that I can just follow and not have to think about much. I'm on day 9 of level one. The jumping jacks, jump rope, lunges,…

First workout DVD--which one do I pick??
Ok, I need to get a work out DVD and don't know what to do. I've seen P90X, but its pricey. So this is what I've got: resistance bands, yoga mat, 1lb hand weights, treadmill. I have a fused back so many yoga positions and high impact are not comfy. I've seen something about 30 day shred on here. What else is out there,…

New to site, here to lose weight for a second time
I am here to get support at losing weight again. I lost 50 lbs on my own about 3 years ago and have gained it back. Life got so far past stressful and I just ate and ate hoping to dull the pain I guess. All I got was bigger and not happier. My goal is to lose 20 this summer then I'll set new goals, so maybe I can feel…
