Trying to loose one pound a week. does not seem much but just not happening. An vegetarian with love for Indian cuisine, hence, lots of rice..

Though I don't eat too much at meals, it's the in bet time, that is difficult.. A rusk here, a cup of juice there and I guess it all adds upView Thread

I am back from the states. I missed everyone. I didn't have internet and could only read emails when I was at McDonalds. I ended up eating a lot so junk food so I could read my email. As a result I gained 10 lbs! I am back now and don;t have to buy junk food to read my email. I can now get back to my normal routine and take this new weight off.
The near future looks bright.View Thread

I am 5'5" and I've been trying to lose 6 pounds for months with no luck. I've tried a very restrictive diet (baked chicken, broccoli and watermelon) but could only keep it up fo so long before intense cravings for sweets overwhelmed me. I've also tried intense cardio workouts, but those seem to have lost their effectiveness. 4 weeks ago, I began the weight-training program in the book The New Rules Of Lifting for Women. I did wieght training years ago, but have gotten out of the habit. The book advises eating more calories in order to fuel the workouts. I began eating and working out according to the book's calculations and I now weigh 145! My clothes fit tighter than ever and my stomach, hips and thighs have expanded! I'm absolutely miserable. I don't know what to do to lose weight without starving. What's more I still crave sugary foods constantly! Help!View Thread

I have been crazy busy at work and at home since the moment I returned from Costa Rica!
I just wanted to let you know that things are seriously fantastic on my end regarding the health and wellness front.
Steve and I have been doing Yoga together on Tuesday nights, plus we have been hiking on Sunday mornings, and using Saturday morning to go to our local farmer's market, produce market and natural food store to obtain our weekly supplies!
As a family we have decided to adopt a primarily plant based diet. My oldest step daughter and myself are at about 98% (I say that because since we are not doing this for animal rights reasons, I am not concerned if my soup is made with chicken stock or whatever, and I do not care of my Thai food has fish sauce or whatever.) Steve and my youngest step daughter are at about 90%. They still eat a bit of meat, but FAR less than before.
I have successfully quit smoking. I feel very confident that I will never smoke again, and I have quit before, but I have never said those words, because I have never set a resolve the way I have this time.
I am playing tennis with my bff Saturday mornings, which I love.
We are cooking different types of foods, and really working on savoring and enjoying everything that we eat or prepare.
I am loving every minute of all of this. I feel great physically and emotionally. My relationship has never been stronger, because we are spending so much time together, in a common endevor that we both feel passionately about.
I am still almost 4 pounds over the top of my range, and ideally would like to lose 7-10 pounds over the next few months, but only so that my pants fit well, not because I feel fat. I feel gorgeous and sexy! And my husband keeps affirming that daily.
I hope everyone is well too!
All is just really well.View Thread
I need support to lose weight. I have tried diet plans and they do not work. I am looking for the right diet plan. My family does not give me support.View Thread
I need help. I'm about 40 lbs overweight. I just turned 50. Most of the weight is belly fat. I am disgusted. I have tried eating healthy and exercising...but it lasts for about a week and I give up. How do I stay motivated? Where do I get willpower and keep it?
Thanks so much!View Thread
I have been tracking (on webMD) all the calories I eat, and trying to rethink the way I consider hunger. Not being "full" is a pleasant way to end a meal. Going to bed excited for breakfast and coffee the next morning makes breakfast and coffee that much more delicious.
I've gone over on my calories a few days, maybe four or five days, but the weight still seems to have come off. I'm not sure why this is, but the only think I can think of is that I must have been eating A LOT more food prior to tracking it. I think I used to eat a good 500 calories or so a night after dinner.
I'm taking extra calcium, and a multivitamin, and feel pretty healthy. Keep going folks. We can do this.View Thread
I am a 28 year old female, and have been very active all my life, but genetics, yo-yo dieting, and thyroid problems as well as insomnia and depression have kept my weight fluctuating up and down almost 20 lbs throughout the years. I had a serious car accident at the end of January, resulting in 22 fractures (including a shattered pelvis, broken hip, ankle, several ribs and others) and needless to say it took about 3 months in a wheelchair after major surgery before I started walking again. I managed to gain about 10 lbs during that time simply from lack of movement and I was also eating more. I have now gained 5 more lbs because I can't seem to get out of the depression from gaining weight in the beginning! I can't fit into my clothes and have a hard time even showering or being naked in front of the mirror. I do see a therapist and am on anti-anxiety meds and an antidepressant but the weight ultimately makes me very unhappy. I can't seem to get out of a vicious cycle of binging then feeling guilty and ashamed for days, hiding inside my house, then once i finally start getting back on track i have another huge binge (we are talking about 5000 calories at a time). Does anyone have any advice as to how to gain control of myself and get motivation to pick myself back up and put myself together again?
Thanks so much!!
