Am I Being Unrealistic? [Forum]

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:38:44 +0000

i’m 5′7″ and weight 160 right now, down from 172 in 7 weeks. I guess I get discouraged with the rate I’m losing weight. My goal weight is 145. I wonder if I’m being to unrealistic about it? Does anyone have any advice?

How Can I Get Through This Plateau? [Forum]

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:18:03 +0000

Hi! I started my weight loss journey about 10 months ago. I have lost 70 pounds so far. I started out at 270, I am 5′2″ and 32 years old. This is my current exercise schedule: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday I do 1 hour of zumba. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday’s I walk about 1 mile and on Sunday’s I walk 3-4 miles. I eat about 1500 calories per day. I have cut out red meat considerably, maybe once a week, stick with chicken, turkey and fish. I don’t drink anything but water, 1 glass of milk a day and 1 cup of coffee a day. Any suggestions on what I can do to push through this plateau, as I still want to lose 65 pounds.

Help: I Keep Gaining Back the Weight [Forum]

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 09:19:50 +0000

Hi everyone, I’m new to diet-blog and I hope maybe you can help me. Okay, so I’ve lost about 22 lbs, which is great, but I have a lot more to go. The problem I’m having is, I don’t want to say it’s a plateau, but the last few weeks I’ll lose over a pound one day and then the rest of the week I gain weight and can’t seem to lose. I won’t always gain it all back, but today is the 3rd day in a row that I’ve gained again this week. I’m exercising everyday, as I have been, I’m still watching what I eat, but I’m still gaining weight. Has anyone had this problem and what did you do to stop it? I do NOT want to gain this weight back and I’m determined to get down to my ideal weight, but I’m starting to get discouraged. Help!!!

Teen Needs Weight Loss Tips [Forum]

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 06:33:20 +0000

I’m 14 years old, 5′9, and I weigh 245 pounds, I’ve been warned by doctor, that I need to lose weight, and I really want to try to, but every time I try to my parents don’t support me, and they if I try to deny to eat junk food, they claim I’m anorexic, and I’m not. My dad supports me, and wants me to feel good in my skin, but my mother is mad, because she eats like a pig and gains weight, while my sisters lose like 3 pounds a day. I want to lose at least 100 pounds by the end of my eight grade year, and I want to feel good in my skin. I’m a cheeleader, and I’m flexible, and I love sports, it’s the eating that is the problem. My parents don’t buy anythng but junk to eat, and I try to eat healthy, and lose weight. As you can probably tell, that i’m not the most popular girl in the school. I surprise a lot of the other cheerleaders because I’m very flexible, and I’m really strong, but when it comes to the weight, I’m a whale!!! I need exercise, and dieting tips that will keep me on my feet, and out of the fridge!

Need Advice, My weight won’t budge… [Forum]

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:29:56 +0000

Hello, I am in dire need of some good advice! I am 28 years old, female, 5′4, starting weight was 177. Seven weeks ago I started strength training and running, which I have never done! I am now running 2.5 to 3 miles five days a week. I started my calorie intake about 1200 a day, I have lost 10 pounds but that was in the first two and a half weeks, so I increased my calorie intake to 1500 calories a day for the last 2 weeks but I still haven’t lost anymore. I understand it doesn’t come off all at once but I went from no exercise to 15 miles a week, I really expected the first 30 to melt off. I am now at 167 but my goal is 135. Can someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong? Any advice to rev up my weight loss?? Thanks so much

The Truth [Forum]

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:48:02 +0000

I’m a failure. I’ve tried a hundred times to get myself together and get the weight off and feel better, but I can’t eat healthy for a long periods of time without indulging in bad food. I actually LIKE working out! But I havn’t been able to make a myself go on a regular basis. I think if I could develope a regular routine, I could stick to it. The hard part is actually developing that routine. So THE TRUTH IS…I’m stuck. I’m not sure where to get the motivation to do what I need to do. I have an amazing, “other half”, that supports me in whatever I do. You’d think I would take advantage of the fact that he supports me so much but the TRUTH IS I eat the worst when I am around him. It’s like when I am the happiest, I over eat. Why is that??? I know for a lot of people they eat when they are depressed, sad, mad, upset. But my emotional eating is when I am HAPPY???? How weird! I know!!! I don’t want to fail anymore. I need to get this figured out for the long run. Someday I’d like to get married and have a baby…but as long as I am fat, I refuse. I wont be a fat bride or an over weight mom who can’t play with her child. So thats me, that’s my truth.

Losing Weight While Away At Sleep-Away Camp [Forum]

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 10:00:26 +0000

I am a camp counselor at a regular camp (not a Fat Camp) and I really need to lose about 15-20lbs. I really want to eat healthy and stay fit because those are two major requirements for my job (not only for my body, but for stress, moods, etc.) The food at camp is essentially basic (scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, Mexican, Greek, etc) so too much fat or too many carbs is not THAT much of a problem (although the desserts are to die for!) For Breakfast, there is always a fruit and yogurt bar which also has cereal, peanut butter and things like that and for Lunch and Dinner they always have a wide variety of veggies at the salad bar (but no fat free dressing options which sucks!) Everyday, the menu is different so it’s not boring to be eating the same things over and over and the food is usually tasty and it probably isn’t too fattening because it’s for kids to eat too…and since childhood obesity is a huge problem, city parks are trying to cut down on fattening meals. So it all sounds simple right? Wrong! It’s so hard to maintain a small portion because I just keep on adding and adding more food to my plate, thinking, “just one more piece of bacon is ok, right?” Or “whatever, I’ll burn it all anyway by playing freeze tag with my campers” But that’s the whole point! I need to burn the calories that I eat so I can LOSE weight, not lose the 8 lbs of french fries I consumed at lunch! Besides all that, the job really is stressful; I have so many responsibilities that food and diet should be the last thing on my mind, but that’s what life is about isn’t it? Trying to juggle everything in your life (career, diet, family, etc). So if anyone has any ideas about what foods to eat and how to stop when I need to and things like what to eat to target fat, and relieve stress or just some ways to shed a few pounds, please share because I really want to lose weight this summer and go back to college and focus more on my studies and be happy with my body. Thanks so much for your support!
