| Foods | Vitamins - What are people taking? | Nov 29 2006 18:41 (UTC) |
29 |
| i take one a day womens, which covers most of the bases...i also take a shot of vit C, plus a B-Complex. the b-complex is highly recommended for all women..especially in my age group (im 19). on top of those i eat a viactive calcium chew and two fish oil supplements. if you're on a diet that's around 1200-1400 cals a day i'm certain you're missing something that vits can cover. just be sure you're getting enough calcium tho! that's the most important thing... |

| Weight Loss | Diet Soda Addiction - An American Epidemic! | Nov 17 2006 20:12 (UTC) |

| yeah that stuff literally melts bones...it's really not much better for you than regular soda, it's just replacing calories and sugar with aspartame and other chemicals the body wasnt ever mean to take in. yuck...moderation is key, if at all | |||
| Motivation | I'm ready to quit! | Nov 17 2006 02:11 (UTC) |
|
| you're prob at a plateau like everyone said...and they're maybe right
about the cals...personally i've been eating about 1300-1400 steady
(with higher and lower days in there)...and i've been losing slow but
steady for 8 weeks now. make syre you;re drinking tons of water of
course.... something else that might help is to add weight training to your regimine...not a ton of heavy lifting or anything, but it'll build muscle which burns a lot more cals than fat. you should do it anyway, it's good for your bones and makes you leaner, quicker :) |

| Weight Loss | Low iron - Diet suggestions? | Nov 17 2006 02:06 (UTC) |

| make sure you eat cereal that contains iron...that can be a huge source
of it. plus red meat of course, cream of wheat, green veggies,
potatoes, oatmeal, etc.. try a google search too...i bet theres a huge list of foods you can look up. :) |

| and hey...how often does thanksgiving come around anyway? if you want to eat something, eat it... i think thats something not emphasized enough here...it's not the end of the world if you eat whatever you want for a meal one day! you're not going to gain back all the weight youve lost, you're not going to negate all the hard work you've done by giving into a special occasion. get back on the horse the next day. i doubt it'll even be a glitch in your weight loss. enjoy it :) |

| gotta love Subway subs stick to whole wheat bread and dont load up on mayo or anything too fatty and it's a good healthy meal. plus they have a calorie chart in there too.. and hey, even if you hit up mickey D's, you can snag a salad. good choices.. Good luck!!! you can do it :) :) |

| hah man i think you're doing fine...especially with exercise? no sweat...dont worry about it! :) and like cap'n said, berries are great snacks. i have frozen blueberries that are like 70 cals per cup or something crazy like that....i dont know if i recommend the campbell's soup as much as captain though...thats a ton of sodium for the day... drinks? water, of course...my roomie digs crystal light. hits a sweet spot with very few cals. the thing that works the best for me is to have a lot of variety to what i eat at each meal. like for lunch today, i had a soy chik'n patty, an orange, half cup of whole wheat pasta, and a bit of pineapple. all that was just 350 calories and i got a variety of food. maybe that makes it seem like im getting more. good luck, i think you're doing just fine :) |

| well, im not 100% on this...but i've heard that our fat cells shrink instead of being expelled from the body. activity and a lack of excess calories to burn up (ie 500 fewer than normal/dieting) shrinks them :) i could be wrong... i just know i want this crap out of my body...heh |

| hah yes...i bought some pumpkin seeds at WF a while back and man were they gone quickly. what i do now is just buy them in small amounts. better to make more trips to the store than to risk eating a giant bag in one sitting. (and maybe its just me but it seems like ever since i started eating healthier, im at the store five times a week..! heh goes with the territory..) |

I know just what you mean... My roommate is 5'8 and i'm guessing 220ish lbs, and it bugs the hell out of me to watch her eat herself into a future of high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. (plus it's hard to share cabinets with people who love carbs and cupcakes..ohh man.) The weird thing is i talk to her all the time about my new diet and how healthy it is and how horribly i used to eat, and she'll agree how bad it is, and how fat this country has gotten...all while shoving pizza in her face. i think people just need to do it at their own time. Some day it'll hit her, it's just not our place to really get in people's face and tell them they're wrong about their diets. (or maybe it is and i just dont want to hurt her feelings..!) you should feel great that you're taking control of your weight and food. maybe they'll see your results and it'll kick them into gear.... |

REALIZE HOW GREAT THAT IS! it's hard for me to see the good in weight loss sometimes :) :) |

| you know...the other day i was watching Dr. 90210 and there was an 18 year old girl who topped the scale at 250 lbs or something like that...and her mom got her gastric bypass because she didn't like to exercise.... at 18!! at 250 lbs!! i'm sorry but gastric bypass shouldnt be an easy way out. i'd have to be on the verge of death to get it. eating healthy and exercising i'm sure is terribly hard with a lot of extra lbs on your body...but it's such a serious operation. | |||

| hey honey13... :) i'm 5'7 and currently 150, medium frame. my end goal
is 125 - 130, but 130 is probably more realistic if i'm going to have
muscle tone and not look too skinny. i'd have to say 138 by december really isnt likely. i'd hoped to lose all my 20-25 lbs by the beginning of 07, but after a month and a half of dieting i know that's really unrealistic. you just plain cant set a date. if you dont meet it, you're going to feel bad about it. coming up to that date you'll stress out like mad and probably over-eat and sabotage yourself... not that we can't do it fairly quickly the healthy way :) good luck! |

| see i think you look great. your bones arent showing but you look thin
and healthy! i mean it's your body, i just dont know that you need to
worry too much right now :) maybe you could try carrying around lots of
nutrigrain bars, eating more often during the day, bagels, bran
muffins...hah, well you know the basics of gaining weight. eat more
than you burn :) hope i didnt lessen your motivation..hehe. gotta say i envy your problem! |

good about myself and decided i could treat myself to a sandwich and
piece of candy for dinner...cut to an hour later and i've eaten the whole sub and more
mini-butterfingers than i care to think about. i feel huge. :( so dumb
to reward my highs with food! turns them into lows... oh and i dont know if anyone's seen this yet...someone else posted it in another forum and it was realllllly interesting..it has a section on binging too.. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/thin/program.htm l |
