Weight Loss	Is there anyone out there that has done the HCG diet?	Oct 08 2008 06:23 (UTC)	12
Just want to remind others, that I started my topic.. MY DOCTOR AND NUTRITIONIST have given me this PRESCRIPTION. I am following this under a doctors care, and it is a PRESCRIBED medication, that they also precribe to women and men for other reasons besides weight loss. I did not ask to have to defend my actions to people who don't agree with it, I asked for the support of others doing the same thing.
Weight Loss	Is there anyone out there that has done the HCG diet?	Sep 29 2008 22:33 (UTC)	32
Yes, it is where you do injections and a 500 calorie a day diet for 6 weeks. The injections are to loosen the fat into your bloodstream to use for fuel, and make you not hungry. I have been on it for a week, and have lost 4lbs so far. I keep my journal updated if you want to track it. But like Leidee said, after you lose the weight, you still have to eat right and exercise, if not, you will just gain it all back.
Foods	Why the heck are nuts so high in calories? There's nothing to them!! Good Gracious!!	Feb 01 2008 18:23 (UTC)	10
They are high in fat, and 1 fat is 9 calories compared to protein or carbs at 4 calories. That is why they are high in calories, but most of them are a good fat... almonds are the best according to my nutritionist : )

Weight Loss	Log everything in the morning?	Jun 20 2007 16:45 (UTC)	5
I log in the morning, and sometimes the day before. It helps me to have a plan, and also that way I can change things around until my ratio's are perfect.

Weight Loss	Doing great but gaining weight?!?	May 23 2007 20:42 (UTC)	6
How many calories are you eating in a day? You may need to increase them. Also yes it could be muscle weight, or it could be water weight. in order to gain 3 true lbs of fat, you would need to intake 10,500 more calories than you burn.
Weight Loss	my current goal	May 23 2007 20:39 (UTC)	1
I think that sounds fantastic! If you workout out hard, add a bit more calories. Welcome!
Fitness	CC Track Club - All runners of any level welcome!	May 23 2007 19:49 (UTC)	231
Hi there, I'm from WA state : ) I'm a 35 year old "girl" (inside anyway) and I love running! The longest I have riun without stopping, is 5 miles. I would love to be able to run a 1/2 marathon! I feel so good when I get into that grove about a mile in! I start feeling like I could run forever! (of course my body feels differently about that!) I get shin splints pretty bad, so that has slowed down my progress.. but I keep plugging along! I have passed the police entry test with 1.5 mile run in 13:55 300M sprint in 65 sec. I finished 1 5k in approx 30 min! last year. I am doing a 5K in July with a friend at work And.. I am going to do my first trialthon on Sept 8th!
Motivation	Please help with motivation	May 21 2007 20:01 (UTC)	7
I suggest you see your doctor and speak to him about your depression. That is what I have done. Also remember to put yourself first. Your not hurting him, your hurting you.
Motivation	How do you find time to do it all? Need some encouragement!	May 09 2007 20:57 (UTC)	9
You just have to make yourself a priority. Make an appt at the gym just like you would a Dr's office or a job interview, you wouldn't no show on them, so why would you no show on yourself? you are the most important thing! I work an hour and 1/2 away with traffic. So I picked a gym 1/2 way between home and work. Yes I don't get much time at home, but I'd just be dealing with other people's problems ( my kids are 11 and 17) or sitting in front of the TV.
Weight Loss	Does anyone else have 30 pounds to lose ?????	May 09 2007 18:43 (UTC)	8
I have 30 lbs left to lose! I already lost 30 lbs but I have been stuck at this 1/2 way point since January. I am 162 now, I would like to get to 130 lbs by the end of this year. I am giving myself a long time, because it takes a while for me to lose weight because I have a thyroid condition, and a low metabolism. Just being realistic : )

Weight Loss	70 grams protein	Apr 13 2007 18:51 (UTC)	7
I would up your protein to at least 70 gr per day : ) You want 20-25% of your food to be protien, 20-25% to be from healthy fats, and 50-60% Healthy whole grains, fruits, and veggies carbs. Hope that helps : )

Motivation	i need help! sorry to post again, but STILL need help!	Apr 11 2007 20:37 (UTC)	2
Up your calories by 200 per day for 1 month if it works, if it does great! If it doesn't, maybe you should get advice from a Dr. there are several medical reasons for not being able to lose weight, and maybe he/she can help you.

Weight Loss	what kind of bread do you eat?	Mar 23 2007 19:44 (UTC)
Milton's whole grain bread... it's 90 calories, but has 5 gr of fiber per slice. Also, it does not have high fructose corn syrup. I am not sure if anyone mentioned this or not, but the difference between the white bread and the wheat bread with fiber is the way your body procceses those calories. You may be putting in an extra 30 calories by eating the whole grain, but It will burn longer in your system, therefore actually using more calories, keeping you satisfied for longer and may help stop cravings.
