Weight Loss Finding Clothes that fit! Jun 21 2009

Hi,

You are looking for 3/4 length sleeve tops that you pull over your head and that have extra room in the sleeve and you are on a serious budget?

What size are you? colors do you like? what country or part of the US are you in? and your age range would be helpful.

Motivation Shouldn't I be Losing Something by Now? Jun 20 2009

Sharron,

2 things I have learned.

You should not eat under 1200 calories a day as your system will go into shock and starvation mode and you will not lose. Actually for you I would not go under 1400 calories a day and 1600 would be better.

The other thing is that we only lose weight if what we eat is less that what we burn !

Sounds simple but there is math I have learned on this site.

You must burn 3500 more calories than you eat a week to burn 1 pound a week. If you beak that down per day that is 500 more calories that you eat each day.

So if you eat 1400 calories a day then the calories burnt meter on CC has to be over 1900 every day.

Is there any way you can get to a pool? You can burn a ton of calories just walking through water.

Dear Gym coach,

I have a treadmill, I've had a treadmill for years it's boring.

Think outside the box. Excersise is movement !

But you have to try to do it after work before you et home because once they get home then getting them motivated is hard!!!!

Shoot some hoops at the park, go to the batting cage, mow the lawn, go to a car/boat/bike show where you have to walk around to see everything. Boxing class (he can imagine his boss or mother in law), bowling, ice skating.

If you have kids do these thigs as a family!

Don't think of them as excersise think of it as movement.

Oh and be careful you do not get bitter and mentally set your husband up to fail.
