Original Post by shinyblackpit: yeah, i went on a cruise.. and 90% of people on cruises are bigger people.. being a size 10 is tiny compared to most. and honestly... im 5'1" too so i know a healthy weight is 130 - 95lbs depending on build.... how low are you shooting for if your just barely over 100lbs????? |

| Weight Loss | do you think the size of your friends influences your weight? | Dec 10 2008 19:17 (UTC) |

i dont think it does... i used to have a group friends i was always going out with, and they were TINY and i was about the same i am now. when i managed to loose some weight a few years ago i had both heavy, and skinny friends. and now im pretty heavy trying to loose weight and my best friend, also my boyfriend, is very thin and athletic... so i dont think the size of friends play into it. |

ok so i was reading and found something that may be what is causing the back pain for you. it says in my book that shoes, if you have a low quality, poor fitted, or the wrong type can make you back hurt. so maybe you should look into going to a running shoe store, a specialty place, and get measured up for some decent shoes? |

Original Post by keb1984:
for making your time better jogging. try doing intervals, jog a minute or two, run/faster pace jog a minute, jog another minute or two, and continue that, when that gets easier, add to the time you ran. you could also increase incline if your on a treadmill, or go up hills if your outside to increase in tensity and to work those muscles. |

they did a study and found that over a two year period those that checked theyre weight daily had an average total loss of 12lbs, where as those that checked weekly saw a 6 lb total loss (without diet).

if you dont think there was anything wrong with that then i wouldn worry about it, as far as i know there isnt a law that says a vegan cant have one mess up now and then. just be careful cause sometimes it can make you really sick (like finding bacon in your soup when youve not had meat in a year @__@) |

i know when i went low carb befor i lost a massive amount of weight, but when i was low calorie i think in a 3 month period i lost 5lbs... my weight just didnt want to budge. i think im still finding a medium tho form, hoping ive found it with what im doing now tho its made me pretty happy. |

Original Post by spirochete: i went low carb once befor and lost a lot of weight, but now i dont eat meat, dont like 80% and ive not eaten it in so long it makes me feel sick... so its a bit of a challenge so far getting things in order. but so far ive been veggie eating machine, i eat some fish but its a bit pricey to have every day. most recipes i can tweak cause i know how to improvise out meats. my biggest delema is my bf likes to eat stuff like ramen, and cookies, and soda, so its challenging for me to overcome that and still spend time with him. but i think after this weekend i know im in control. got to sit around a plate of cookies for two days (6 hours in the room with the dang things) |

@spirochete
i have a flax bread recipe if you want, it has less than 1 net card depending on the brand of flax you use. make it into a foccassia and its great with tuna and im sure chicken salad. i made some recently and loved it. flax is a little hard to work with, so it make take one or two tries to get the mixture you like down, i use less oil and water so its a dryer bread personally... http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/breads/r/fla xbasicfoc.htm i get about 20 net carbs right now so im working on collecting a lot of recipes if you want to trade some with me ^^ |

| Fitness | Running? Jogging? | Dec 07 2008 05:29 (UTC) |

ok so running and jogging if you consistently keep at it and put your heart into it, then yeah you could loose weight, it works a good range of muscles, ups the heart rate, and burns calories. you can also burn a signifacnt amount doing jump roping, like speed ropes especially, but like with running and jogging you really gotta keep at it! sit ups, pushups, squats those are toning and strength, not cardio. cardio is what burns fat and increases matabolism. toning and strength are also important though, as it helps with creating muscle, and toning that muscle which burns calories on its own. its good to have a balance of both. essentially anything that raises you heart rate will burn fat and helpf you loose weight. so if running isnt your thing you could try biking, skating, swimming, etc. try picking up a sport with a group in your area maybe that would fit you better than just running? |

| Weight Loss | Acai Berry | Dec 07 2008 05:18 (UTC) |

im not sure, havent tried it but have considered. i would think just acai berries in general would be just as good if not better having nothing added to them like a bottlled item would. i bet you could find them at a health store, or ask someone at a healthstore, or a specialist in alternative medicine. ideally im sure they would say dont bother... but thats just a guess from what ive read into stuff like that. |

wow impressive a lot of responses, guess i jump in im 5'2" 196, im working toward about 160 as my first big goal, or to fit into my size 12's which ever happens first (wear a 16-17 depends on style) so i have a ways to go. my goal is to get to my size 12's by april 10th. ive got a social event im going to with my bf so i want to be back to that weight so i can feel comfortable dressing up a bit. i was 165 just short of 3 years ago, and befor that i was about 180-190 and i was the happiest with myself at 165 so i think if i can at least get to that point ill be happy with my work. currently im working with an idea that i hope will not fail me. befor i lost the weight doing low carb dieting, which was fine and dandy then, but im vegetarian and have been for about a year with no interest in going back just yet. so im doing a modified low carb. LOT AND LOTS of veggies, no soda, no white rice/bread/pastas, HIGH fiber, and lots of fluids (drinking lots of club soda cause it keeps me from craiving my sugary soda, and diet snapple which i love) so far im a week into this and im down 3 lbs, but i think thats just water weight ... but still its something.

ok i have some personal experience in atkins for one yes, you are likely to loose weight, but for me personally... very unplesant to stick to forever, and thats what weight loss is, its a permanent fix. but i am using the basics in that for what im doing now cause i did see dramatic results. im currently doing a low carb sort of thing. staying as far away from refined sugars and carbohydrates. and eats high fiber, reasonable protein, and LOTS of veggies. its a bit early in the game to determine how fast the loss is, but there is lots of room for keeping your appitite satisfied, and im pretty sure ill see a huge overall loss.
