Weight Loss	Need some reassurance...	Nov 10 2009 17:26 (UTC)	2
Hey, just wanted to add that you gain and lose 5 pounds a day... so 3 pounds is nothing. Make sure you weigh yourself at the same time of day.. prefferably after you go to the bathroom. XD
Weight Loss	Gaining at 1,200 calories	Nov 10 2009 17:21 (UTC)	3
Are you saying that you gain when you eat over 1,200 calories because you've weighed yourself or because CC says so? I mean, of course you're gonna gain cause you've just eaten. Everybody gains when they've eaten because food has weight too. If you're still scared of gaining, you can always exercise. I hear that it burns calories.
Motivation	why is it so hard to feel beautiful??	Jun 23 2009 17:51 (UTC)	16
Perhaps it is the unrealistic standards that modern society sets for us which we tend to believe and strive to achieve.... Once people get past the "airbrushed standards" and realize that they are humans... each beautiful in his or her own way... only then can they view themselves in a realistic, true mindset... :) of course, it's easier said than done... i have a low self esteem as well... i feel you
Fitness	Do you think I can/should run a half marathon?	Jun 23 2009 16:44 (UTC)	49
I think that the only person who can answer that question is you... you should know your own physical abilities and if you know you can do it, then do it if you want.

Weight Loss	How to conquer fruit binges?	Jun 19 2009 19:48 (UTC)	8
well, i gotta say, fruit binges are better than the chocolate and egg roll binges i go on :) but, i would recommend buying a variety of fruit-- skip cherries and strawberries if it bothers you- and eating those fruit... or make a fruit salad where you eat a variety of different fruit + your faves

vanessa, of course you can join! and that's great that you've lost so much weight already!!! wow. I can't wait to get rid of those ugly bra bumps...and about the bikini... I went shopping yesterday.... yeah, I just couldn't do it. I bought a tankini too... the bikini will have to wait till next year:) congrats on the baby! I love children, and I'm sure she (or he:) is worth all the effort :) lisa, I'm a cheese freak too!!!! omg... but when I add it into my daily calories, its worth so much! I'm going to go look for the laughing cow cheese... I heard laughing cow has great low fat, low cal ice cream:) might get some of that too! justme, my brother bought a wendy's frosty today... I was so tempted to take it away from him... but I didn't. btw, its been about 5 days since I began dieting.. (I cheated last night :( today though I feel kind of sick... I can't even look at food, and the smell of food makes me nauseous (except for ice cream) do you guys think I'm doing something wrong? i'm trying to eat moderately, i don't starve myself.idk
Motivation	Emberassing moments...and how to get past them	Jun 12 2009 14:09 (UTC)
prinzessin_naseimbuch, lol that's hilarious! I'm glad that you didn't take that moment to heart. There's a silver lining to every cloud! I'm starting to believe that now. lisarose7, you don't even understand how much I wanted to say something to him. but it was my baptism. I had to exceptionally collected and forgiving... lol
Recipes	Veggie Tales----Need some input!	Jun 12 2009 14:06 (UTC)	3
Danke! prinzessin_naseimbuch:) (I'm assuming you're German) I will try your recipes, and since I love variety and "foreign" foods, I'm sure that I will love it! Thank you once again!

dispatchn, hypoglycemia..wow, that must be really tough. I have a friend who's hypoglycemic...for every snack she just eats a bunch of fruits and veggies...or nuts. don't give up! lisa, that's great! I'm doing the same thing. I'm eating around 1,600 calories, trying to eat less, and I walk and swim and I'm doing core exercises. Also, I do Pilates. If anyone is interested, it's a really great workout and it forces you to breath and relax while building and lengthening the muscle. I have a thing with cheese... is it ok to eat while dieting or not? is it considered a healthy food?

great job.. keep doing what you're doing, just don't starve yourself:) I'm really out of shape too, so I'm doing lots of cardio to increase my endurance.

Recipes	I'm starving and only have about 300 cals to work with	Jun 11 2009 23:10 (UTC)	4
I just made some really good stir-fry type food: 1 cup brocolli 1/2 zuchinni 1/4 pepper 30 medium-sized shrimp 1/4 tsp. sea salt spices like pepper or oregano or dill... w/e u want fry with canola or pam This barely makes 200 cal but its so filling, you can add more veggies and still have enough cal left over for desert!
Fitness	What do do about a saggy bum??	Jun 11 2009 22:52 (UTC)	4
The elliptical machine works wonders:) Half an hour 3 times a week... and your bum will tighten up overtime.. I know because that's what I did.... my stomachs still flabby, but HEY! at least I have a great butt!

Hi:) I'm glad that you're taking steps toward gaining your health back... I think that the first two days are ok.... but the other two days aren't, especially if you work out... don't let yourself get below 1,000 calories... if you need the extra calories, eat almonds... yum:) good for you and delicious, plus lots of protein
Weight Loss	Personification of that inner unhealthy person	Jun 11 2009 16:40 (UTC)	7
I have to say, I love reading your posts! You have an amazing personality, I can tell:) When I was a kid, I treated my stomach as a different entity. If my mom would ask me "Are you hungry?". I would say, "Let me check." Then I would cup my little stomach (it was little at the time) and I would ask it "Are you hungry?" and put my ear to it and listen:) Actually, now that I think about it, children are more in tune with themselves, they listen to their bodies. Now thanks to you and that other hilarious thread that jewelsmcblah posted, I'm naming my stomach Archibald and treating it as a different person:) lol

Of course you're welcome! Idk. I've been overweight for a long time and I hate bikinis. But this year I will by one (not a tiny one) and I will force myself to wear it, so should you. First of all, it will force you to have confidence in yourself, and it will give you the motivation to work out, so you'll look better in it. Btw, I have stretch marks too.... they're not bad, really slight around the lower part of my midsection and hips.... anything I can do to get rid of them?

To be honest. I never concern myself with the scale. I'm more focused on size. I would recommend that when you weigh yourself, always do it at the same time of day: in the morning after going to the bathroom and before eating breakfast. I read in a health magazine that our weight fluctuates by 5 pounds DAILY!!!! So don't be discouraged and keep doing what you're doing!
Motivation	Hello	Jun 10 2009 22:48 (UTC)
Hi toad22! I joined about 3 days ago. I'm younger than you, but I still have the same problem. To me overweigh=unhappiness. However, I know that that is the wrong mindset, so I came here to get support, since no one I know would give it to me. It's good that you've joined CC. Trust me, you'll get TONS of support here. Welcome and good luck:)
Motivation	I'm Hungry! and the biscuits are staring at me...	Jun 10 2009 22:46 (UTC)
I would recommend dipping strawberries in melted dark chocolate and freezing them. Eat a max of 5. Today when I wanted something sweet I ate a Special K blueberry breakfast bar. It's delicious and only 90 calories. Good luck!
