here is another one you can try?!?

Thanks.  My scale gives me my BMIbut not my Fat %, I did not see that one when I got mine, also from Bed bath and beyond...how funny.  I also find that my scale will give me very strange BMI readings I will lose a pound or two and my BMI will go up a percent or two.  Then I put my numbers in here and will get a much lower BMI.  Crazy . 

You can increase your protein intake.  Even if it is just a protein shake or adding protein powder to yogurt or the milk in cereal.  I think it is about 120 calories per scoop of protein powder that would help increase your calories and add about 30 grams (give or take) of protein to your diet. 

That is what I was thinking because I am 126 lbs which puts me at 882 cal.  I was thinking about trying it for about 2 weeks but I am not sure if I will be able to stick to it.  Because I am hungry already.

It looks like I have some catching up to do!!! 

For some un-known reason I have stopped all efforts to lose weight.  I have been maintaining OK, which is great so at least I am not back at square one.  But it is time to get back on the wagon and work hard so I will join you again for 5lbs by November 1.  Here is where I am at as of now:

6/16/08: 129lbs

10/1/08: 121lbs

GW (by 11/1/08): 116lbs

I do an at home version that I have adapted to my fitness level and it works pretty good.  The basic idea is to alternate a cardio work out (jump rope, run, stair climb, etc.) with weight or resistance training (lifting, pushing, pulling).  If you are in really good shape you could use heavy weights and high intensity cardio (running).  I think at the Curves center then do 40 sec increments and I do 90 sec.  But the idea is the same, keep your heart rate up with minimal to no rest for at least 30 minutes.   

Thank you all for the group.  I did not do as well as I would have liked but a little can go a long way when it comes to losing weight.

Thank you for your help.  Yes I weigh myself at the same time every morning before eating or drinking anything.

I think I lose weight slower then paint dries.  This is crazy.  I have been working out 5-6 days a week and eating really well.  But at less then 1/2 lb a week I will never reach any of my goals.  Well I take that back I did reach my goal to be at a healthy BMI.  I have been thinking of getting a personal trainer.  Do any of you now or have you ever had a personal trainer?  If so did it help?

Sorry I am late, I have been camping for the last 4 days.

I am up but not as bad as I thought.  While camping I did not count or even really watch my calories and I thought I would do a lot of hiking, but it rained all weekend and I never got to go.  So I was sure I would have gained 10 lbs or more.  I am back to working out every morning, walking in the afternoons and counting my calories.  I want to hit it really hard this week and lose at least 1 lb.

Wow, I am moving at a super slow pace....at this rate I will hit my goal 8/25/2009. 

This post made me LOL and has boosted my spirits beyond belief.  I now know that there are people just like me.  Crazy obsessed with what the scale says and with a belief that the scale is the enemy.  I weigh myself daily: same time, same place, same scale, and I weigh myself as many times as it takes to get two readings that are the same.  Today I was lucky it only took twice some days 6 or 8 times.  My scale also gives me my BMI; I have found this to be truly a lie.  Never the same twice and never the same as on CC or other site calculators so I ignore that number.  Great post!!
