Serious Ques That Sounds "Unbelievable"...
... I have read, listened, done trial & error, read some more, (on top of being under the supervision of my primary care doctor)... If I eat a NET of more than 800-1000 calories, I gain. I started this journey in July 2011 at 287 pounds. I reached a low in April 2012 of 235. This morning, I was 247. Since then, we have…

P90 (NOT P90X) - QUESTIONS
Hi all! My sister gave me a copy of her boyfriend's P90 DVDs. He doesn't want them anymore, but doesn't have any of the items that came with it. I have tried to research it online, but it's hard to find info without first buying the system. Can someone familiar with these DVDs please help me out? I am not sure HOW I should…

Absolutely FED UP
Hi all, I don't know if I'm really ready to throw in the towel or just need a good vent-fest. I'm thanking you all in advance for indulging me. I have been stuck at the 235 (anywhere from 232 to 239) range for MONTHS. It's been since the end of January, and I just won't budge. This doesn't feel normal. I have lost 50…

*GASP* I Bought A "Little Black Dress" (PIC)
Well, I am down 50+ pounds (haven't "officially" weighed in for Feb, but it was 50 on the nose when I weighed in in Jan, and I've already lost those pesky extra pounds I had put on after some minor surgery -- I've since hidden the scale and jumped on my routine... anyway!) Tonight, I bought my FIRST-EVER "Little Black…

GAINED 7 pounds in ONE week. *throws fit*
Shall I make my explanations or simply thump myself on the back of the head? Last week was TOM. So, I typically skip working out 3 or 4 days. I also wasn't as religious about counting calories as I have been, but I can tell you I never went over 2,000 calories a day. Then on Friday, I went to the doctor to have a cyst on…

HELP!
I need help!! I have lost 50 pounds so far. Yes, I am down in clothes sizes overall, but my top half and bottom half USED to be proportional. Now, I am almost 2 sizes smaller on top. My waist and hips are smaller, but I CANNOT get rid of the fat on my lower (below the navel) abdomen. I really need some GOOD exercises that…

Six Months, -47 Pounds (with pics - UGH! LOL)
Oh, that elusive 3 pounds. I would love to say I lost 50 (I'd consider it a huge milestone) but, here it is.. Before: 285# After: 238# I am starting to struggle to see losses every week, and it's starting to discourage me. I'd hoped to be at 225# by now, and have stalled. I am thinking I'm going to have to shake things…

Calorie Burn QUES!
Hi folks! Just wondering... Hubby works out 30 minutes, and according to his heart/watch monitor, burns 400+ calories. I do the SAME exact workout, only I add 10 minutes (it's an alternate walk/run on the treadmill) and I only burn 350 calories. My doctor recommended keeping my heart rate at around 150 bpm, and I vary from…

Orange Juliis "Light" Smoothies - Looking For....
Hi all! This past weekend, I decided to try one of these when the rest of the family was getting some ice cream (I usually just sit this out, but really wanted something myself...) Anyway, I tried a "Light" Smoothie from O.J. - 150 calories for 12 oz. DELICIOUS! I would love to know of any copy cat-type recipes (or…

How To Find "Lost" Motivation...
Hi guys! I have been here tracking calories and workouts for a few months now. I have had decent success, but this week, I all of a sudden felt down.. my whole mood and demeanor has changed, and I feel unfocused, lacking motivation and totally uninspired.
