Need Weight loss help
I am struggling to lose weight and although I lost 20 pounds from January to
April 2007 I have already put 10 pounds back on. I need help getting remotivated. Are there any free diet web sites. Although I love my husband dearly, he is really a bad influence. Last night he brought home pizza and I have a real hard time saying no thanks. Are there any online support groups that can help me bolster my resolve? Thanks for listening. |

We are basically an online support group, although activity has dwindled a bit over the past couple years. There are many websites that offer resources and info, but I don't know of any support type. Feel free to post here. |

Need Weight loss help
I'm the one who finishes all my family or friend's meal cause I don't
like wastage. As much as I hate exercise, I'm forced to do it. I do 30min cardio 3-4 times a day to maintain my weight. I try to eat lots of fibre too which helps.

Are there any online support groups that can help me bolster my resolve? Thanks for listening. I use this newsgroup for inspiration, conversation, ideas, and motivation. I've been posting here, albeit infrequently, for about seven years. Hang around--read some of the postings from the "regulars." Many of us have been at goal for a loooonnnnggg time, but prefer to stay connected and check in for--well, all the reasons I listed above. Try to avoid the recent spate of spammers--you'll soon see who the serious posters are. As for websites, try these: http://www.fitday.com (online journaling, calorie counting, nutrition tracking--for free!) http://www.stumptuous.com (inspiration!) http://www.exrx.net (exercise and iron) http://www.crossfit.com (more exercise and iron!) You'll notice a lot of us are big on exercise. It's important. And not many ascribe to a particular "diet," but instead concentrate on what works for us individually over the long haul, our Way Of Eating or Way Of Life. You'll also see the term ELEM: Eat Less, Exercise More! It's my favorite "diet." Good luck, hang around. Oh--once in a while you'll need some flame-proof panties. Amy 168/115/...

As Kathleen Turner, you probably have many film fans who would provide
support. Just review your awesome legs in the movie: "Crimes of Passion" -quite inspiring "Kathleen Turner" wrote in message news:iiUqi.3162$Ya1.946@trnddc06...

Need Weight loss help
I weighed in this morning at 236.5. I have a long way to go.
Today I kinda put my foot down with my husband and told him that whenever he treats himself to food not to offer any to me. He said OK. So lets see how I can do. He is a good man, dont get me wrong. He indulges and wants me to share in it with him. "em" wrote in message ... "Kathleen Turner" wrote in message news:iiUqi.3162$Ya1.946@trnddc06...

Hee Hee. I only wish I was the famous Kathleen Turner. I was once a
Kathleen Minor until I married a Turner. I use to be thin when I was young. I have dreams of beaing thin again and running like the wind. Then I wake up and....well lets just say 'gravity sucks'.

I started off at almost 300 myself, have done a little yo-yo'ing, but now I'm really on-track. It takes determination, but more than anything else it takes patience. Losing weight, I think, boils down to two things. Having the gumption to actually do it, and knowing enough about it to get the job done. Do you know all about how calories work? Do you know how many calories you burn off in a day? If not, there are calorie calculators and weight loss calculators all over the Internet. And, hey, exercise isn't necessary but it does help. There are so many diets out there - books and websites - that are just crap. If you haven't done so, you need to go on a knowledge quest. Learn how to measure everything you eat and accurately count calories. Its not hard to do. Thinking about it is harding then doing it, really it is. Low-carb diets work quite well, too. I'm on a low-carb diet myself. Low-carb is a different way of looking at things, and you count grams of carbohydrates rather than calories. In the end, though, you still have to limit your food choices, eat less food then your body uses, and stick with it for the long haul -- that is the only way to lose. You also have to be willing to commit to changing your lifestyle in terms of the way you eat. You have to sign up for the lifetime program. Otherwise you will forever lose weight, go back to pigging out, gain weight, go back on a diet... so much stress and life is so short: commit yourself to beating this thing and you will win. Thanks for getting back on my questions -- to me, that says you're serious about this & wanting to get started. I guess my next question would be, do you have a solid plan for losing this weight, such as, "I'm going to eat x amount of calories/carbs per day, and eat these particular kinds of foods in such-and-such quantities"? Or do you need a bit of assistance with your planning? Hey, if you have planned things out, btw, tell us what you're doing. A reality check of any plan you may have or come up with won't hurt one bit, & you're likely to get some really great suggestions. In either case, you've come to the right place. I'm rootin' for you! |
