jessicalyn86 added an entry about lose weight : I’m failing pretty badly at this goal. I’m not gaining weight, but I’m not really losing it either. I guess my goal is really to be healthier, which I’m not doing either. I need to exercise, but I lack motivation. I need to do something to make exercising fun I think – like buy a jump rope or drive out (I know that sounds funny) to the wild life reservation and do my jogging there. Maybe exercise at sunrise when everything is pretty and the air is fresh feeling.

gayatri1 added an entry about lose weight : Well,this is definitely not my first attempt at weight loss.I have been trying to loose weight since last 12 years.So I can say atleast I had been consistent with one thing.Making ‘to lose weight’a goal every new year. I am 5’5”.My ideal weight should not be more than 132 pounds.And what is my weight now.Well the last time I weighed myself ,I was weighing 175 lbs.I have been dieting for a while now.I was at 180 lbs.I have lost 5 lbs,but I am afraid it might be just water weight.I had been controllling my salt and sugar.

Short bursts of high intensity sprints - known to benefit muscle and improve exercise performance - can improve the function and structure of blood vessels, in particular arteries that deliver blood to our muscles and heart, according to new research from McMaster University.The study, lead by kinesiology doctoral student Mark Rakobowchuk, is published online in the journal American Journal of Physiology. Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology.

kiara75 added an entry about lose weight : was going very well and then splat! fatty boomba is getting their sticky hands on me….no gaining not lost anything either….yes i’m falling into the self hate stage….which will be followed by the ‘get stuffed’ stage…to be followed by more self loathing and then a stupid diet where i only eat cabbage soup for a week…. never fear i will win this battle, hopefully before menopause…

Obesity researchers have discovered we burn the same calories on physical activities as we have done over the last 20 years. They found that there has been no reduction in the energy we expend on day to day activities, suggesting increased food intake may be the more important factor in obesity. Over the past 20 to 30 years there has been an enormous increase in the prevalence of obesity throughout the Western world.

Pizza Packs at Half the Cost I know those Pizza Lunchables are popular because I've seen them in all sorts of situations (from airplanes to soccer games). One of those "boxes" will run you about $2.50 on sale (regular price = $3.29). While I was happy to see "pizza crust made with whole grain" written on the box and 3 grams of fiber listed on the nutrition label, I think we can do better than this in our own kitchen and save money doing it. We can't easily replicate the mini pizza crusts they include, but what will work in their place are two 100% whole wheat mini bagels (Sara Lee) or one whole wheat pita bread pocket, available in several brands in most supermarkets.

Some diets promise extraordinarily fast weight loss - achieved by cutting calorie intake to (dangerously) low levels. If you're ever tempted to follow a Very Low Calorie diet, make sure you know the facts first....

ailaG added an entry about lose weight : Haven’t really lost weight so far, don’t really care about it. I’m keeping this on my list merely because of the numbers – above 80kg means unhealthy, and I don’t want to get unhealthy. I did get thinner, though, which isn’t such a good thing because I had to get new pants (I hate shopping) and I do like my figure either way. Ah well :) At least now more stores have my size.

KateKateR added an entry about Lose Weight : I was doing awesome, in fact, I still try to do awesome. But as anyone who tries to lose weight knows, if something happens right in the middle of doing well, you might not do so well. Basically, about 3 weeks into doing well, my step father had a horrible horrific accident at work. Put my whole family into a whirlwind for the last 5-6 months. No excuses, that’s for sure. But it’s very hard to do things the right way when you get home at 9pm after being in the hospital visiting someone for 4 hours. It was hard. But, I really am determined to Lose Weight, and just be healthier. Things are finally calming down, and I think I’m getting into a routine. Maybe a gym membership? Not sure. :-) I’m just excited for the possibilities….

NHidalgo4 added an entry about lose weight : Last night I had a horrible night at work and quit my job. Afterwards, I drank so much beer and smoked so many cigarettes I dont think that I am going to be able to keep this diet up today. I feel so sad, not about the job just sad in general. I hated that stupid job. I hated it. Always walking around on egg shells. I deserve to be happy. Dont I? I miss being happy. That stupid job just put me in a place that I did not want to be and Im glad Im not there anymore.

MissAlexis added an entry about lose weight : i am so determined to lose weight this year. I lost 10 pounds and have put 2 pounds back on so far :\ now i am just as a standstill weighing in at 179 everyweek! I’m not trying as hard as i should be but this week i feel really motivated to do well. If i really try hard this week and i lose some weight i will be so happy that i will just wanna keep going. I’ve decided making the small changes is probably going to make a bigger difference. The only thing i am going to be drinking from now on is water and the occasional fruit juice. Thinking about it earlier, most of the calories i consume are probably from drinks. also i am cuttin out ALL sweets. If they are there i will eat them, and if i say to myself “oh only a couple and it will be ok” ill still eat loads. cuttin them out all together has to be done otherwise i’ll just carry on binging. I do feel abit better so far now that i am eatting more fruit and veg. I normally have about 3-4 a day. but i am aiming to reach my whole 5 everyday now. It should be easy, because when i want something bad i can just thinkin “no have some fruit” If i do all these i can see my future being a happy one. My dress sizes are getting bigger and bigger and never in the rest of my life do i want to be bigger than i am now. its just not going to happen. :)

pixiespassion added an entry about lose weight : but progress none the less, I’ve lost 5 pounds. My goal is to get back under 160 but the time Matt gets home so lets see if I can lose that last pound this weekend. :-)

paddy107 added an entry about lose weight : OOOOOOOOOO this is getting annoying, I went to the gym today for a change and hit the scale….......tipped it more like it. I was 231, a new life time high. I really need to be better After seeing that number I did work my ass off though.

Heather added an entry about lose weight : Well I haven’t been doing so well. It is too hot to go outside and exercise. It was 102 degrees today. That is not factoring in how hot it feels with the humidity. About 90% humidity. I don’t have a gym membership or any equipment at home either. I tried to take my dogs for a walk but we only made it half a block before they were panting horribly. So I cut through the backyard of the people who live behind me and took them home. That was just 10 min ago at 7:20 pm. It is still hot!
