| Weight Loss | Starvation Mode | May 10 2007 18:58 (UTC) |

| I agree with you, but it isn't just about calories. To say someone should take in at least 1200 calories a day is okay, but if that 1200 calories does not consist of the correct foods than it is probably as dangerous as going into a starvation mode. Eating healthy should be priority. I would rather eat 1000 calories of food that is high in nutrients than 1200 - 1500 calories of junk. Hope this makes sense. | |||

| I only wish I had this problem. You might need to talk to a professional because if your self esteem is depends so much on your lack of weight, you have major problems that are not weight related. This board sucks because of this type of thing...oh my I am 5'4" and 115 and look so fat. Not only is it offensive to those who have real weight problems, but it is so juvenile. Geesh, get a real problem. | |||

| Weight Loss | What's more important weight or size? | Dec 27 2006 17:09 (UTC) |

| Thank You! You just made me realize how important it is to exercise. I would rather look great in clothes and didn't realize exercise could be so important in trimming. Thank you for motivating me to get off the couch. | |||

| I have a similar scale and will never buy another. It is too late to take mine back. I would suggest taking it back and getting a scale without all the fancy features. I cannot wait until my scale breaks down. lol | |||
| Weight Loss | Curvey women or stick thin women? | Dec 21 2006 15:21 (UTC) |
128 |
| I certainly got more attention when I was thin and fit. I have a friend that thinks since she has rolls of fat, means she has curves. I agree with Sarah, Curves does not mean the same as fat! A lot of it is how you carry it. Just being proportioned makes a lot of diffference whether it be thin or heavy. Another thing I notice is the fatter I get, the skinnier people seem that I would have otherwise thought look great when I was thinner... So it seems my perceptions change as I get bigger :(
Personally I would take thin and petite over what some think as curvey anyday and it seems from my observation, men do likewise. What kills me is the guy that is sloppy with a gut hanging over his belt having the nerve to say crude things about heavy women. Geesh, do some men ever look at themselves in the mirror. |

I did not know that crunches added inches, ouch! So what does one do to firm up the tummy area without adding the inches? Thanks for the info. |

| Wow! I thought this was a support board. Healthytide could you be anymore judgmental? I don't take herbal supplements, but I don't put people down for it either. If you are going to spout off that this and that is purely crap because it isn't approved by the FDA, then maybe you should backup your statements and also do some research on the wonderful world of the FDA.
Another thing, if this lady and her family choose a different diet plan than what you are on, so be it. Who are you to have the only right way to do things? DWilliams, congrats on your weight loss. |

| Weight Loss | Why does it hurt when someone calls you fat? | Dec 14 2006 17:52 (UTC) |
2 |
| When I first read this question, my first thought was when someone tells me I am fat, it means to me I cannot control myself and do not take care of myself and therefore unattractive.
I did not think about Hollywood or any of those things. Although I do believe it plays a big part in how teenage girls see themselves and it is very sad that we have allowed the media to dictate to these young ladies that overly thin air brushed models are beautiful and worthy. |

| Acleaves,
I also have a low body temp., always have. The doctor doesn't seemed to concerned about it. It really sucks because when I am sick and feeling feverish, my temp is 98 - 99. Have your thyroid checked. If this is not normal for you, it could be a sign of a hypothyroid. good luck and please get the blood work done, just in case. Always good to have a yearly physcial. |

| What a great thing you and the company are doing. It is nice to hear about employers who give a darn about their employees.
Good luck to all the participants and hope they follow through even after the contest ends. I have my fingers crossed and saying a prayer for the young girl who you are trying to help. Please let us know how it goes. |

| Some medical problems require no eating withinin a time span of several hours before bed to alleviate digestive problems causing too much acid, i.e. relux disease. | |||

| I think the low rise are very cute if you are very thin. I rarely see a woman who looks great in these jeans. I see young girls with tummys and hips pouring out of the jeans. I wonder, don't they look at themselves in the mirror. If the person is thin and I mean model thin, they look great but the rest of us, they over emphasize the belly and hips and look awful. | |||

| Weight Loss | will protein make me gain? | Nov 15 2006 16:23 (UTC) |

| sarah,
2lbs a week is good, especially with all the exercising you are doing. You are creating muscle. I think you are doing great and hope I can do this. I hear protein like whey is very good, especially when you exercise, like you do. Anyone else know otherwise. I am curious too. What type of exercises do you do? |

| Mscrief,
My daughter's friend has a couple of hundred pounds to lose. Luckily, her insurance plan is paying for the body countour when she is down to her normal weight. I think if she could not have the surgery afterwards, she probably would not do it and we lose a beautiful person way before her time due to health. I am glad you were able to get it done and how it benefited your quality of life. Thank you for sharing. |

| I am so sick of seeing information out there for sale that is not truthful and gives people false hope just to make a quick buck. There is no way that someone who has lost a great deal of weight, even with the best of exercising and eating healthy will not have loose skin. Unfortunately, only surgery will be able to tighten the skin. Age and other factors also play into it also. | |||

| Amanda,
I bought that book for my daugher and her boyfriend and they both quit smoking......but not me! I hear great things about that book, but it just didn't work. I guess I may read it again, although I have already looked it over twice. I guess I will just be one of the miserable people who quit smoking, hopefully real soon. I just want to say...CONGRATULATIONS for quitting the smoke. You should feel great about yourself. At least the lbs lost don't stink like cigs. Good luck on your diet. Anyone who can quit smoking can certainly do great losing weight. Kim |
