You're right, that is at 67 inches. Gosh m such a retard The advice then was at 1800 and I was eating about 1900 and it turns out that the real advice is at 2200. 67 centimeters would be what 2 feet and 2.5 inches? dang what a great difference!!! |

When I moved to Europe and realized that I was at 240 pounds (about 109kg?) - It hit me that I was already at 30 and my clothes did not fit anymore. I also thought that it would be nice to see my daughter's 18th birthday at least. (She was 2 then - hehehe - hit me pretty early) Now I'm down to 98.5 kg and I feel great! |

Original Post by shandykat: Saw that VIDEO, and Loved it!!! Be happy with who you are, and not who others think you are! Share the positive attitude, and don't tell others to do something they are not willing to do!!! Do what you think is right for you, because you have no one else to blame but yourself - and you have no one else to be proud of more than you are proud of yourself. Be you!!! Not what others think you should be. And with time taking so long, who's measuring it anyway but you? It is only taking long if you say it is, so please try to think positive and think that it is just flying and that you are closer to your goal now than before you read this reply!!! Lots of luck. |

Websqueen has a good suggestion: Start with weight training for your lower body with free weights. But have your knee checked out first, because the worst you can do is to place more pressure on an injured body part. Lots of luck! |

You've got the first step!!!! ACCEPTANCE That takes a lot of will power. You have it in you, now that you have accepted the mistakes of the past. Now time to invest on your desire: I agree with gi-jane (as i almost always do) because it is what works for you. So starting out with this site is one of the best steps to take. Use all the tools such as the Calorie Count - Food Log and Activity Log. It is all easy to do. Remember how you felt when you crashed-diet, and take it from many of us here in this site, you need to eat and fuel yourself WELL and excersice to maintain a very healthy and positive lifestyle. Always get help from others (if you need to consult respective professionals) but remember that you still have to decide and act on it - you can't blame others for what you have done. Just as Morpheus from the 'Matrix' movie said, "I can only show you the door". We (all the support group you can get) can only give you ideas, but you have to walk the walk. Lots of luck and never give up!!! |

There are lots of factors for that rapid loss, it is mainly water and waste (yes that weighs something also). If you plan to lose weight and feel better about it, then at the most, you should strive to lose about 2 pounds a week, until you reach your target weight. (you can never disappear of course even if you do lose 2 pounds a weed because you can only reach a plateau wherein you cannot lose anymore weight in a healthy manner). That's what I have read so far.

Just a suggestion, since you do have about 25 minutes of alloted 'exercise' minutes, then maybe you should switch between the weights and cardio. One day weights and the next day cardio. You really don't need to go outside to do cardio, go online and look for aerobics or similar indoor exercises for cardio. You do need to get the heartbeating faster, as i have read so. Also, a self-reminder each morning also helps you keeping positive! Remember, just imagine if you haven't been doing any of what you have done, then even more you have nothing to show for. Few adjustments won't hurt, and watch out what you 'drink', those are calories you may not be aware of. Stick with lots of water, water, water - you are even teaching your kids the right kind of drink as they grow older.
