Exercise is an appetite supressant for most. You should eat something even if it's just a banana or apple. It helps your body recover quickly and keeps you from feeling weak before your next regular meal. Even a glass of orange juice or any fruit juice will work until your next meal. |

You've lost about 9 lbs over the past month and a half. I think you're doing great!  |

| You have to eat to keep your metabolism up and running...otherwise you're wasting your time on your exercise bike. Your body is trying to hang on to whatever you have, because rightfully so, it doesn't know when it will get more fat and sugars and calories. Increase your calories to 1700, with limited fat and sugars (30 grams or less of fat, and 200 grams or less of carbs). Good carbs can come from whole wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice. Good fats can come from tuna, salmon, and nuts. Good luck! | |||
| Vegetarian | Fish Eating "Vegetarians" | Jan 13 2008 21:19 (UTC) |

| Well written, drwxpanda. I've eaten only fish (and no meats) for about four years now. I originally gave up meat for a religious fast, but decided to go back to fish for adequate protein. It's a great low fat choice. Try asking for a pescetarian meal at your next dinner out on the town or at your next business meeting and watch the mass confusion begin. Most foods are prepared with chicken, beef, and pork, which is why it is so easy to state that one is vegetarian when not at home. The real question should be, why do vegetarians care so much about the word vegetarian? It's almost like it's a religion to the no fish and meat eating complainers out there. | |||

| Go with the grilled chicken wrap...it's better for you. It's actually 260 cals / 9 fat grams w/ honey mustard or 8 fat grams w/ BBQ sauce. See for yourself: http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutri tion.index1.html | |||

Junk food is a problem for a lot of us including me. Find out what it is you really enjoy and see if you can get a lower cal/fat version for the weekends only. But it will need to fit in your calorie guideline of course. Dieting has to be backed by motivation, so you won't be able to start until then. Maybe you should have a short term realistic goal, such as losing those 30 lbs by this summer. And then losing 30 more by the holiday season. That will put you around 240. I wish you all the best. |

| Weight Loss | Living with a man who eats it ALL and gains NOTHING! Help me... | Jan 11 2008 02:07 (UTC) |

| I have a husband and two boys who can eat junk all day with no weight gain issues. When I do the grocery shopping, I get quick things such as salmon and tilapia filets to cook for myself...and my family has to eat what I eat for dinner. They can do what they want to do for snacks. For quick snacks I get apple cinnamon mini rice cakes and reduced fat oreos to keep me from binging on the regular junk that sits around my house. While the hubby is snacking on snack cakes and regular chips, I usually will grab rice cakes or a serving of reduced fat Oreos if I have enough calories for the day. If I don't, I usually sip on Minute Maid Light Lemonade or Raspberry Passion which are about 10 calories per can. The key is to not run out of calories before sunset. You need to have at least 300 left after dinner for those late night cravings that will almost always occur. My calorie intake right now is about 1400-1500 per day and CC says I should consume 1600 per day to lose about a pound per week. I lost the first 5 lbs in 3 days, but the next 5 are hard. Beginning next week, I will cut back even more and consume about 1300 calories per day until I get to my desired weight of 150 lbs. Increasing physical activity and decreasing calories are a must to lose stubborn pounds. | |||

Take it to the office (or wherever you work) and leave it in the breakroom. It always works at my job. It should only take a couple of days to get rid of it.
People who need help losing weight usually have trouble with moderation; so finding a way to get rid of it is best. Homeless people will take candy...it's food, a source of energy. Besides, it beats damaging it or throwing it in the garbage. |

| I went waayyy over my calorie limit. I decided to weigh and gained about 3 lbs this past week. I am on a strict 1,500/day calorie diet so I can take off 10 lbs by Feb. Desserts are a BIG problem for me. I sent all my holiday food out the door with my guests. Now, it's back to fruit, rice cakes, and treadmill running. | |||
