Weight Loss	Weird question about body image after you begin losing weight---	Sep 29 2007 07:25 (UTC)	9
Well....I did not have those fears!! However, when I lost 80 pounds I found out who my friends were/are!! I felt FABulous and I looked even better!! Just get ready for the HATERS because they will surface. Some people are so comfortable hanging around the fat girl ....it's easy because their looks are only amplified by being with a "fat and insecure chick." Trust me when I say the only thing that you will lose besides weight are friends. Just know that you are fab just as you are....... you will only be smaller. The inside will not change, only the shell. Love you a little more and embrace this process.
Weight Loss	Does anyone have trouble actually eating enough calories	Sep 27 2007 23:54 (UTC)	6
Well....... I never really have a problem eating 1000 calories!! LOL However, I do have a problem eating enough calories to offset burning 900-1000 calories per workout. I once ate a cake doughnut and still did not reach my calorie goal for that day!!
Fitness	How Many Calories Do You Burn At The Gym??	Sep 26 2007 02:59 (UTC)	56
I burn 900 cals on the elliptical -- 65-70 minutes
Fitness	is my elliptical acurate?	Sep 25 2007 09:05 (UTC)
Maybe. Depending upon our workout level and program. I stay on for about 65-70 minutes, on random, varying between level 8-11. I typically shoot for 5 miles/900 calories. Alter your resistance level --try random, cardio or fat burn

Weight Loss	anyone cleanse?	Apr 12 2007 14:56 (UTC)	4
i tried the master cleanse and it did not agree with my body. you can buy the pamphlet @ barnes and noble....etc. my friend lost 20-25 pounds on the MC and kept it off. personally, i eat every 2-3 hours so it was a shock to my system to not eat anything. the pamphlet will detail the initial side effects of the MC: like feeling sick/ill becuase your body is getting rid of toxins (I vomited as a result.) hope this helps.....if you take any medications the MC may cause adverse effects when your body releases toxins....good luck...i do know people who have done it successfully. you will lose weight if you are not eating...period.....like any other diet though, it will come back very quickly when you begin to eat again

Weight Loss	Are we really burning as much as we think at the gym?	Apr 07 2007 23:18 (UTC)	20
i am still trying to understand this!! i've come to the realization that i probably dont eat enough. manewell broke it down for me last week ......but still a little confused. For example: I burned 950 calories calories on the elliptical last night--so let's say that was generous and it really was only--900 and i burned 50 on the treadmill --so that's only 35 calories....then i lifted weights for 20 minutes -- 150 calories....not including ab work etc....my normal calorie expenditure @ sedentary is 2000, @ light 2300, @ moderate/very active 2600.......i've been eating more protein lately and have been feeling hungry more often. manewell please reply
Fitness	Ellipticals - friend or foe?	Apr 06 2007 19:01 (UTC)	9
i love the elliptical!! i burn 850 to 950 calories per workout. take your time and find the program that works for you. lower your resistance and try different types of ellipticals (my gym has 3) to find the movement you like

Weight Loss	30 in 30	Apr 01 2007 05:05 (UTC)	15
you may be able to do it....but you may sacrifice some of your vital organs in the process. i do agree with the other posts.....you should focus on making lifestyle changes-- not event changes. the master cleanse diet flushes your system....but its unhealthy because you're not eating!! if u lose weight that fast it will come back twice as fast and your metabolism will be all out of whack!! good luck....
Fitness	Should I join a gym?	Apr 01 2007 00:01 (UTC)	5
it really depnds on how much weight you have to lose...i pay $50 per month for the Y (swimming, racquetball, cardio machines etc). i am a student but i figure that i spend that or meaningless things anyway!! if you go 4-6 days a week it will be worth it!! think of waht you spend $2 per day on.....coffee, chips, soda, magazines etc.. it think it is an investment

Weight Loss	Question on Weight Watchers Program	Mar 28 2007 23:28 (UTC)	1
weight watchers does not focus on working out. i was a member a few years ago...but stopped going. This site is much better b/c you dont base your caloric intake on say 25 points but instead base it on learning how to live a healthier lifestyle. WW makes you dependent on them b/c they dont teach you how to live...WW never told me what my BMR or BMI is just points....creating a dependency that is based on paying them 10-15 per week!!
