Weight Loss	I keep trying....	Jan 06 2008 18:23 (UTC)	2
This year will make the hundredth time I've made a plan, set goals, got excited, and started over. I eat because it makes me feel better even if it is only temporary. You sound like your getting your ducks in a row. Support is a wonderful tool. Good luck to all of us!

Motivation	problem	Sep 09 2006 00:38 (UTC)	5
Well, you definately want to eat more than 550 because you can go into starvation mode, so if all you have is fried chicken and you can't wait, go ahead, but I wouldn't recommend anything fried. It is really bad for you and probably a butt load of calories. Maybe you could peel off the skin, that would be healthier and wouldn't put you over your limits. Good luck:)

I know it sounds fishy, but this site is awesome and it's probably a correct number. Good Luck and welcome!

Motivation	Eww - my cousin defines childhood obesity	Aug 19 2006 14:52 (UTC)	15
That is the saddest thing I have ever heard. His parents should be fined or something. He wouldn't be that way if he had not learned it somewhere! Set a good example for this young man. Maybe you can be his eye opener. Another topic altogether: Why can't our kids go to the gym. This makes me so angry. There are ads everywhere encouraging kids to get up and do something, but there are no places for them to do it. They have to start early. I wish I had a family place to take my kids for excercise. (You might in your area, but I'm in oklahoma and we have nothing of the sort) Anyways, it just makes me angry. Sorry for the rant.
Weight Loss	Should I be ignoring the scale?	Aug 19 2006 14:40 (UTC)	5
Take your measurements right now. I always measure each month. I have only lost 4 lbs this month, but 2 inches around my middle! If you think your waist is smaller it probably is. Lots of people gain first when excercising. Keep it up and you should start losing. Sounds like your doing everything right. Way to go!!!!

black. It's slimming. chicken or beef?
Weight Loss	So this is interesting - my taste buds are changing!	Aug 16 2006 01:49 (UTC)	3
Pop. It is gross, way to sweet and all bubbly in your nose and stuff. I used to drink 6 or more a day. What was I thinking?
Weight Loss	monday weigh-in club	Aug 14 2006 18:11 (UTC)	754
209. Down 1 lb.
Fitness	Another elliptical question	Aug 13 2006 23:09 (UTC)	3
They usually set it for an average wieght such as a 150 lb person; if you are more or less it won't be the same. Unless it has a function that you can enter your own weight, I would use the site's calculations.
Weight Loss	Discovered a wonderful appetite suppressant	Aug 11 2006 21:04 (UTC)	1
Does it have to be fresh lime/lemon or can you use that concentrate stuff in the little plastic bottles?

I eat like crazy when I am stressed. Thanks for the post.
Weight Loss	Could I be Overdoing it?	Aug 10 2006 02:46 (UTC)	1
A deficit of 1000 sounds like to much to me. Maybe your body is holding on to everything it can. Try eating a little more; your deficit really shouldn't be more than 800;)
The Lounge	Has anyone tried "Pepsi Jazz"?	Aug 10 2006 02:26 (UTC)	12
I tried the strawberries and cream and it is like drinking syrup. Way to sweet.
Foods	Subway Brownies	Aug 09 2006 16:34 (UTC)	14
I didn't know they even had brownies. Sounds fishy to me.

Weight Loss	Possible Pregnant !!!	Aug 09 2006 16:27 (UTC)	2
I swear I have been waiting to hear that my entire pubesant life. I try to tell people I can feel my egg drop and they think I am crazy. Finally some relief to know that I am not demented. My period came early this time. You think counting can do that??
Weight Loss	Spousal motivation...	Aug 09 2006 00:22 (UTC)	17
I hate to tell you this, but there is not much hope until he decides he really wants to lose the weight. I went on a diet and lost over 50 lbs. Once my husband saw how successful I was he decided to lose weight too. He has lost 20 lbs! Keep doing what you are doing and try to be positive. If he wants it he will come around:0)
The Lounge	Early Birds & Night Owls- Advice sought - # 11	Aug 08 2006 15:45 (UTC)	15
1. I am a night owl, but my daughter is a very early riser so I have to be too. 2. My man is a night owl too, but he has to get up early and hates it. 3. I like to work out as soon as I get up, so I can get it over with, but if I miss one my body feels it. 4. Yes, have some kids, then you will naturally get up early just like they do. (Also, I have become a very light sleeper since then).
Weight Loss	The funniest thing ever	Aug 08 2006 15:37 (UTC)	3
What a nice guy, holding up your pants and all. I bet he loved that. Congrats to you!
Weight Loss	Concerning hanging skin...	Aug 08 2006 15:31 (UTC)	10
I have lost a total of 57 lbs.(45 before joining cc). and my skin does hang. (eeeww), but I didn't do much excercise before. I have recently started weight training and though I havn't lost much weight I have noticed some toning going on... underneath the hanging (eeeww). I really don't think I will ever get rid of the hangy skin, not completely anyways.
Weight Loss	Help - Vacation Weight	Aug 07 2006 17:43 (UTC)	3
Try going to actual sit down restaurants instead of fast food. Healthier options a lot of the time. Fast food is the worst. I really don't know much else, it is hard to stay focused on vacation. You just have to do it;)
Foods	Energy Bars?	Aug 07 2006 17:38 (UTC)	2
If they have sugar alcohols that can do it.
Weight Loss	How much have we lost collectively?	Aug 07 2006 17:24 (UTC)	55

Motivation	Why are we we doing this?	Aug 07 2006 14:32 (UTC)	8
Heartburn. Since I have been eating healthy it has virtually disappered. It's magic, I tell ya:)
The Lounge	Guilty pleasures...	Aug 07 2006 14:29 (UTC)	20
I love saved by the bell!! My guilty pleasures. Forensic Files, Unsolved mysteries and Family Fued. Chinese food, Gary Allan, and Jimmy Fallon. My worst is Hostess orange cupcakes, I can't pass those things up. It's a serious downfall.
Motivation	LBS loss in one month	Aug 07 2006 14:16 (UTC)
I lost 14 lbs my first month when I started over a year ago, but I was 110 lbs overweight, so I can't expect anything like that now. I lost 5 lbs this month which is still good.
