this is not rocket science and We do NOT need your stats. Basic nutrition 101 states in order to losse weight you should burn 500-1000 MORE calories then you eat! that simple! Calories in -vs- calories out! However in Defense of the other posters if you are a women of say 5'5" 5'6" medium build (my approx) you would be around 1650. that being said if you were this approximation you never want to go below 1250 for calorie consumption. another thing to remember eating too little Will Slow your metabolism and if you are loosing too fast you are in danger of putting it back on amongst the other dangers. Eating to  little is as serious a condition as eating too much, however I don't believe that was the question at hand.

OMG just read this and was considering going vegetarian anyway! definitley have started more changes to go not only vegitarian but organic! I loved it and it has totally changed my way of thinking about what goes in my mouth! I recently have been in a nutrition class and am studying in the health field, NOT HOLISTIC< and have found that while some of the info is slightly off center most of it is dead on! and the way they present the info is Hilarious! All they are doing is putting there findings out there and want you to make up your own mind! Either way yes read it, research the info, then make up your own mind! I am still doing the coffee thing tho cause do not want tooo many huge changes at once!

seeing as the heart is a muscle I would imagine yes it is wise to give it a rest. I try to do cardio 6 days a week and alternate  weight training every second day so I end up doing both at least 3 days a week. don't know that that is a smart way to do it but it is working for me for now.

just wondering if maybe subconsciously you are thinking of this as a diet in where you can't have things like sweets. Maybe it is something as simple as a thought pattern.

been around hear a short while and man no where else have I felt as understood as here even when I am down about my progogress or lack of.

todays runn seemed a lot harder for me, but I am doing something different then normal.  Most of the treadmils were full so I decided to run the track. Man did I ever feel the difference. I did not do the walk 3 run 1 forweek on but I probably walked 4 or 5 then ran 1 or 2 minutes depending on how well my breath held up and the busyiness of the track. I probably got a solid 7 or 8 minutes of straight run time which is better then nothing. Hope to be back on the track tomorrow but way earlier so I can maybe beat the traffic on the track. Hoping I will soon be adjusted to where I can run on the track soon for longer periods.

I'm here dee I made it a plan to start bright and early tomorrow on week one!  Thanks for the conversion in miles and I will be starting on the treadmil I was wondering what is the suggested start speed? I had messed that up I think last time. Look Forward to working with all and will let you know how it goes. cool thing my gym also has an indoor track on the upper level so I don't have an excuse of the treadmils were ful either. lol

yes I have been measured and I know I am losing inches For some reason the stupid scale gets me everytime. I am greatful it hasn't gone up wich is another sign that somewhere something is working, however my BP is still rather high,As for skin I know everyone swears I look 10 years younger then I am so Skin is definitly healthy. Thanks I do fail to think of all the other things that go with life changes.

rying to watch portions but working in a restaraunt and some times grabbing things as I go doesn't all ways help. I havn't mastered the technique of eyeballing it yet. I do need to work on that. But then sometimes when I do a veggie I will only do one veggie and forget anything else and that will be all I eat all day, with maybe a yogurt or a kash bar or a bowl of cereal.

hey is it too late to get in on making this year the one that counts. I have been outa forums for a while but I have a new attitude and outlook on this whole things and am ready to get this ball rolling!

I gotta say getting thin and then putting the weight back on again! thin does taste better! However we all get wher we need to be by going through what we must. that being said I think no french fries can be done if you do no french fries just for today rather then for a whole year. That is where I think it gets hard. Trade it for something equeally as pleasing to your tasebuds but healthy!

My resoluton is to take my like back.

Lose some weight and keep it off, so by the time my son is two I can keep up!

thanks for the talk everyone. I neede to hear all that was said and got some really good suggestions. I am gonna walk to getmy daughter and relive some tension I was completely overtired and was so rushed this morning I forgot to eat breakfast, so with a  quick sandwich and all your support I am feeling better. I will be back on the treadmill tomorrow first thing!

hi gang I havn't posted here in awhile and maybe I should cause I got alot of support here. I am at a point where I feel it's time to give up AGAIN!! and posting in a forum is something I havn't done in Forever maybe it will help huh?? Good to be back!

wow thanks I got some really good information here! I made chili over brown rice with boca meal starters my 14 yearold said it was the best chili I ever made! I let him in on the secret and he didn't believe me so I pulled out the bag and he was amazed. I asked if he would eat it  again and he said yes! he would even be willing to try some other things like my morningstar farms corndogs! SCORE!!!!!

thanks for the advice ! i did actually do some research yesterday and found some more recipes and ideas. My daughter decided to do some research of her own and decided to try this with me. so this should be exciting!
