| This topis has really been an eye opener to me about my 45 minute runs, and light strength training. Really. My whole life, i've been told that women should do light weights with high repitition to be lean. So...wow.
Does anyone know a good strength routine, or know any moves that i could do at home??? Im not signed up with a gym, but would really like to be a heavy weigt lifter now. thank you! |

| I have done the exact same thing. I dieted, i exercised, everything. then i got depressed. ate it all back and more. now im even more depressed.
maybe we should start a: "Lost weight-Then gained it back" group. ha. but ya, it sucks, and i know what you are going through. i have been trying to lose weight over a year, and i get really motivated sometimes and then days like today happen, and i just eat eat eat :( |

| Weight Loss | i can't stop bingeing! | Jul 19 2008 02:50 (UTC) |
|
| i cant either!!! you're lucky. you've only had 2 nights of bad eating. i'm pretty sure i haven't stopped eating all week long. ugh. im so fed up with myself. everyday i wake up thinking, "im going to be good today, im going to run and swim and eat 1,200 cals and only healthy foods".... then i dont run. get discouraged...dont swim...start eating something unplanned...and the cycle repeats.
so know that youre not alone. on my good-non-bingeing days, i have some tips that might help you:
i have no idea. |

| I am sorry.
I am an idiot. And if any of you chose to block, delete, or whatever you do on this site to avoid contact from me ever again, i would completly understand... So i quoted that....>>>>>> " You'd have to be totally rippid-like, body builder ripped- to get a noticeable bump in your metabolism. Most people burn about 2 calorie per kilgram of body weight per minute, whereas a body builder burns about 1.2" But i typed it wrong... It actually says this...>>>> "You'd have to be totally rippid-like, body builder ripped- to get a noticeable bump in your metabolism. Most people burn about 1 calorie per kilgram of body weight per minute, whereas a body builder burns about 1.2" and yes, it says minute, not hour. so im sorry. i am a dumb @$$. i typed 2, instead of 1, throwing the whole concept off balance. i am sorry. ha, bring on the name calling. However- most of you had made very interesting points, like i do agree that magazines and internet articles should mostly be avoided and we should just stick with what we are doing. |

| I shouldve said who the resources were.
James O. Hill studied successful dieters for 13 years, director of the center for human nutrition at university of colorado health sciences center in denver. he was the one who claimed "exercise wont make a difference" pff. Ralph La Forge studies the role of exercise in weight loss and is managing director of the ipid and disease management preceptorship program at duke university medical center. he was the one who said "strength training is a myth" those scientist's claims are the only myths i see. |

| i love the part about yo-yo dieting! that was so interesting to know that 5 of the 10lbs lost was muscle, 2 was water, and 3 was fat. and then the repeat...that really motivated me even more not to gain the weight back.
thank you! |

| Weight Loss | Do we have to accept that we'll never feel full again? | Jul 07 2008 18:46 (UTC) |

| i know what you mean. this is what i do to stop being hungry, and it seriously works. make a protien smoothie. i put whey powder, strawberries, milk, some water, and splenda in a blender and it makes a very generous serving. so its filling both quantity and quality wise. it really works, try it! its also good with ovalitne powder or bananas or yogurt. | |||
| Weight Loss | Are You Happier After Weight Loss? | Jul 07 2008 06:11 (UTC) |
19 |
| well after i lost 40 lbs, i definitly had a bangin bod, but to be completely truthful, i felt very empty inside. i felt that since i had this hot body, it didnt really match my funny fat girl personality, but more so a quiet mysterious seductive personality. sounds weird i know, but i felt insecure. i felt like i had to change my personality after i changed my bod. so i tried to be something i wasnt and it caught up with me...
so after i gained weight, i really let my bubbly witty personality shine because it was all i had. i no longer had my hot bod to rely on. it was my persona that attracted people now....so in a way im glad i gained weight because as opposite as it sounds, it helped me gain perspective of myself and not to change, and to embrace being loud and obnoxious! but dont get me wrong, now i plan on losing weight while maintaining my out-there persona. this was a cool post topic! |

| my success story: Im a recovering binge eater, and even though i haven't reached my goal weight, i ran/walked for 1 hr and 8 minutes yesterday....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that *for me* is a huge success. a small one. but it will lead to a much bigger one :) |

| Weight Loss | scared, ate a WHOLE BLOCK of cheese today, need help? | Jun 25 2008 00:03 (UTC) |
5 |
| you ate 1,200 calories worth of cheeze. it takes 3500 calories worth of cheeze to gain a pound. and since you only eat 1300 calories a day any, it certainly wont make a difference. in fact it may actually help your metab raising your calories one day, then getting back on track. so dont worry, its just one day, it will be fine. | |||

| yes i have heard of that and have been very tempted to try it! i cant believe you lose 6lbs in 6 days! did you not stick to it the whole time because i thought it was an 11 day thing, but hey, 6 is good!
would it be alright if i asked what the menu was? please! im just so interested in the "shift" of calories or whatever. please let me know, i desperatly need to lose weight for an even in 6 weeks. |

| You said you know its possible so you really dont need our approval. go for it! heck, janet and your dad did it. just try it anyway. and if you dont lose all the weight you wanted to in 4 months, then at least you lost some. | |||

| Weight Loss | has anyone ever tried NOT counting calories? | Feb 15 2008 06:04 (UTC) |
6 |
| Yes, there is a way to eat what you want, not count calories, and maintain your weight. Im a different story, because im so messed up right now, but i see my friends do it everyday. Its called: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Eat when youre hungry. Stop when youre full. If you are really unsure about a certain meal you know is high calorie, eat half of it. So even if the meal was 1000 cals, you only ate 500. And if youre still hungry after only eating half your cheesburger, eat a big apple and drink a liter of flavored water. No doubt you will be full then. Another thing is stay active.
Bottom line: Listen to your body, respect your body. And respecting yourself doesnt mean eating what you crave all the time. |

| Weight Loss | how I lost 9 pound in 6 days | Jan 21 2008 06:12 (UTC) |

| Weight Loss | How do I stop? | Oct 31 2007 05:16 (UTC) |
|
| when i reached my goal weight last year, maintenance was easy. First of all, FORGET CALORIES at least for one day. Just completely listen to your body. If you want a chocolate biscotti in the morning, get one! Your body is now a high burning machine. Then next time youre hungry, and you really want a burrito or pizza or whatever- get one! but dont just eat it cuz you can, eat it slowly, and listen to your body when your satisfied. Then at dinner try to balance it out with a healthy meal like soup or salad. Even some dark chocolate.
At least it worked for me. I would have like 1 cheat meal, then 2 healthy meals, or 2 cheat meals, and 1 healthy meal depending on how much 'cheat' i ate. Keep calories in mind tho, but dont obsess. Just be aware of your body and what it needs. |

| Weight Loss | More then 2 pounds a week! | Oct 31 2007 05:07 (UTC) |
3 |
| If someone is obese or overweight, and they stick hard core to a diet for a week, the amount they lose at fisrt is still normal if its over 2 lbs. Jenny Mcarthy was on weight watchers and dropped 5 the first week. Usually after a while the weight comes off steady at like 2 lbs a week. Then it will plateua.
hope i helped! |
