My dad called me fat my whole life and I was and he was too and the things he said did not change anything. It was not untill he started loosing the weight that I realized that I could do it too(so examples are important).

 You can do two things with what your dad said..you can A) take it personally or B.) realize that the reason why he is lashing out might be because he has some issues of his own. For give me for my language but the best advice some one gave me was " When other treat you badly its becuase they have some busniess they need to take care of that might not involve you. Walk away and remember that its their **** and not yours to worry about". Im sorry that hurt you hun..It seems like you are still school age and it was an inappropriate thing for him to say but take the oppertunity to grow and realizing that every one has problems that they deal with in diffrent ways and unfortunately some choose to hurt others to deal with them ..even your dad. Take the advice of some of the others and try to talk to him and let him know how he is hurting you ( with good composure and calmly) and things should be better. Good luck. 

I would love to read it! I will definately check it out.

Awesome! Thank you.

You are right. Thats why I want to know what activity level I should put my self at to figure out my calories. Im eating 1700 calories a day.. I dont know if that is to much or not...

I have the Polar M32. It is adjusted to my wt,ht,age...My husband's is fancy I will try his out for a day and see if the reading is any diffrent. Thanks I didnt think about that.

As far as my intesity...well I try to sustain around 154 bpm and reach my max at 165 bpm toward the middle of the exercise ..for cardio any way..

Now during strength training my heart rate can get as low as 75 and as high as 145 it depends on what I am doing.

Awww. Thank you all for your support and help. It realy helps to have some one that has been there and can give a little emphathy and advice.

Muscle does have alot to do with it. I would change your routiene around a little.

I agree with tortoise...

Don't let what other people tell you bother you so much! The great thing about this sight is that we can all express our opinion and support on each others issues. Not a single thing that is said on these message boards are set in stone and we never know who really does have the experience to give useable advice or who is just lying ( one of the reasons why I don't like Internet socializing); you have to use your judgement.

Just to back you up on that 4lb gain. A couple of weeks ago I gained 5 lbs of water weight from bumping my lifting weights 10-15 lbs. If I didn't gain I would have been scared. I did this on a Monday and by Saturday I was down 6lbs. ;P

If you have a ED the worst thing to do is get on the scale often. You realy need to see a trained professional to be able to understand better what you are going through.

You should see a Dr. about this and let him know how you are feeling. I think a nutritionalist would help you. A nutritionalist should be able to let you know how to maintain your HEALTHY weight and eat right. Dont give up eating ice cream. If you give up eating all the things you like then when you do eat just a little bit your body will go into shock and retain water and possibly some weight (not that you need to worry about weight). You need to keep in mind that you are beautiful and you eyes are the only critical eyes on you not any one else. If you think that some one else is looking at you as bloated then your mind is deceving you! Hang in there and try to come to the realization that the problem is not your weight but how you view your self. Besides if you stress yourself out you can cause bloating. Keep eating that yummy ice cream! 

Oh yea and another good thing to remeber...for each junk food you eat drink a big glass of water with it. It will help keep that water weight down.

Hi Raerael !

   This is awesome. Its just what I needed to get back on track. October was my first goal too! My husband loves those sexy pirate alfits and I never could buy one b/c I was too big to fit into one. Now I can fit into one but I want to feel confident in it . IM IN ! I cant wait.

Weight : 191

Height: 5'11

Waist Size: 12

 Ha,ha,ha...I guess not ..I did water aerobics yesterday that was fun but I didnt feel like I realy burned any calories..lol

My husband has threatned to throw the scale away and never ever allow another one in the house again..lol. I can accept a little gain on the scale but what I cant accept is the little snugness in my cloths it just feels nasty...I dont ever ever ever want to go back to the way I was..

 I have about 25-30 more to go. Yea I bumped it from 1650 to 1800. Should I go higher?

   It couldn't have been put any better eponal ! I started exercising 5 months ago, every day for the exception of one week I have gone to the gym and exercised for two hours in the morning. The first month was crazy I gained four pounds then the next month I lost 8. When you exercise your muscles actually tear. During recovery time your muscle's will heal themselves and that's how they get bigger ;). The water retention is actually water and healing fluids ( this could be really heavy up to 10lbs !!!! depending on how much damage you did )from the tearing of the muscles and the muscles trying to heal. If anything on our outterbody is injured it swells up with healing fluid well its the same for the inner body. Second DRINK DRINK DRINK for every 30 this is  easier said than done but it is important that for every 30 minutes of exercise you do a day you ADD at least an extra 8 oz to your daily water intake. In order to loose water weight you must add some first ;).  Your are doing great! Dont quit exercising it has so many benefits other than losing weight. I hope your belly dancing class goes well it sounds like loads of fun(..If I loose more of my belly I might consider going to one too.)
