| Weight Loss | is this normal? | Jul 11 2007 20:29 (UTC) |
1 |
| If you lose 1lb a week that is a healthy rate to lose weight I lost at that sort of rate and lost enough for my doctor to tell me I had now become so much healthier 50lb a year is not to be taken lightly some of those that lose weight quickly find they cannot sustain a lost and often put much of their lose back on so you KNOW you are losing healthily and that should be celebrated yes it might take a while but at least when you ge there you should be able to maintain |

| Well I lost 70lb and my bust size went from a 38dd to a 32e as you can see from that much of the weight I lost was from the surrounding areas my bust looks in the same proportion to the rest of my body as it did before I lost the weight |

| If you are suffering from depression go and see a doctor and get a referal execise is good for depression so keep with the exercise and healthy eating too will also help with depression you need foods that contain tryptophan and b vitamins so eat healthily and exercise and both will help with the depression that in turn will help with the self esteem issues you can make changes to your life but they wont happen over night |

| Fitness | If your muscles are sore...does that mean you have gotten an effective workout? | Jun 23 2007 00:32 (UTC) |
1 |
| Its not a complete non sensation but its not a painful sensation there is a big difference between knowing you have exercised and the sensation being more painful different clients build muscle at different rates many of the (if combined with a healthy eating plan) can lose inches in a month - most of that through toning as often as little as 2lb in weight is lost but a whole clothes size is lost many obviously wont get those results month after month one client has lost 28 inches and thirty pounds in a year and never had any pain from exercising another client has dropped 4 dress sizes since her wedding last year again without any pain - sensation of having exercised yes but not pain |

| Fitness | weird question | Jun 23 2007 00:13 (UTC) |
|
| Make sure you NEVER stretch cold muscles think of muscles like toffee when toffee or muscles are warm they stretch when toffee is cold it is brittle so if ou want to stretch daily then that is great just make sure the muscles have had a warm up first |

| As a trainer we are taught that IF a client stretches PROPERLY they they should not suffer from muscle soreness the only clients I know who have suffered have admitted to omitting stretches or to not holding them still for the required length of time when they are supported and stretching technique is checked they all admit to not having sore muscles |

| If there is a John Lewis near you go in there and be measured you may well find each place measures you differently dont just try on the size you have been told you are get measured in all the shops you may find a 34b will fit you better slightly larger cup although smaller in the band |

| I havent tried it but it is a low fat very low calorie version of the atkins people do seem to lose amazing amounts of weight BUT it doesnt sound very healthy to me to eat so few calories must mean that vitamins and minerals are lacking - unless you supplement |

| Thanks every one The only Gym I can get to ( where my daughter goes) is rather intimidating - I have been with her as a guest - it is full of Barbie doll type women doing very little in the way of a work out perhaps classes would be more my scene I will certainly do some more research as I dont want to be tied into a useless contract :) |

| I am the same as you at the moment - just hoping the TOM starts soon I have been eating little and often today and seem to have coped a bit better - and I have been having a high carb low protein low fat day might not be what is recommented by some but it really does seem to be helping me with the cravings - and binging |

| Have you thought of trying a different ad I am not saying come off the wellbutrin but perhaps a different med will suit you I found when I was on lexapro it have the very same effect I could exercise till I dropped or eat all day and the most I would fluctuate would be 2lb I changed to cymbalta and can now lose weight - slowly but it comes off - but it also goes back on if I 'cheat' :)) dont give up but do consider some med changes with your doctor - they might just help |

| Hey Emily I love the idea of the stickers for work outs I will definately pinch that idea I do use stickers every time I ahieve one of my targets so I can see them building up I think a massage is a great idea and will add that to my rewards for every time I get myself 10 stickers :) I think I will first aim for 20 work outs a month thank you so much every one I really am so inspired to do it this time and you have all helped so much |

| Its fine to eat what you want sometimes it could very well stop binges two things I do that I find help one for chocolate I eat greens and black 70% organic dark chocolate just three small squares is all I can eat as it is so rich and I make some veg crisps slice veg of choice eg parsnips potatoes carrots beetroot very thinly use a peeler then rinse and dry spray the plate of your microwave with frylight put on the slices of veg spray again then cook on full power for a couple of mins cook for one min at a time till done keep a close eye on them and mix them up from time to time much healthier for you than the fat soaked ones you buy and tastier too uses spices to flavour |

| Yes it could easily be the result of your time of the month when I lost weight before I would quite often put on some weight at that time and then lose it again the week after it you log your weight on here you will see a trend line and that will show you what is happening over a given period of time my weight is static at the moment hoping that it is due to the same thing :) |

| I will add myself to this list - I seem to keep playing around with 10lbs or so I am going to stop focusing on the weight and use my body fat % as more of a guide and of course my clothes - just for the next month and see if I can get rid of the 10lb or some of it |
