I have both a treadmill and elliptical machine here at home. I just started running again and my joints are actually not hurting. It might have something to do with the vitamin e I just started taking.

I was doing cardio arobics there for a while. Then, my legs really started aching. So I stopped for what I thought was going to be a few days. That was 2 weeks ago. I need to start up again. I've really been watching what I eat since Jan. I've slipped up quite a few times, but I've lost 5 lbs. Not good, but not bad. I cut out all fast food, and all soda. I really figured with as much of that I was consuming, I would lose weight without exercise, but I was wrong.

Someone once asked, Do diets fail people or do people fail diets? It's a good question. Any diet that makes you believe that there's a short-term fix is playing hooey with you. Also, some of you are saying that you just started a specific diet two weeks ago or three weeks ago or a month ago. I think virtually ANY diet -- even the truly rotten ones -- will take water off you in the first few weeks & you'll see your weight decrease by a couple of pounds. I don't think any of that means diddly squat. I think it's far too soon to tell how you're dealing with a diet in only the first couple of weeks. Losing weight is a bitch. We're all getting older & slowing down. Good luck to everyone who wants to be healthier. It's a long, somewhat tiresome journey, but it can definitely have its payback. |

I am just so mad at myself. I basically got down to my goal weight this summer. I was pretty happy with the way that I looked and I maybe only had five pounds or so left to get rid of. Then I slipped up and started drinking frapacinos at Starbucks and ordering take out Chinese, and watching Paula Deen on the food network!
Now, 6 months later, I am practically back where I started! All that work last summer (the long hours at the gym, etc.) was for nothing! I now need to lose like thirty pounds. I just keep thinking that if I never went off my diet then I would actually be slim right now. How stupid could I be?

Okay, first of all, you are the thinnest person I've ever met, gunty. Diamondsnake - sorry about your gain, that sucks ass. Didn't you keep exercising when you went off your diet? Don't ever think that you are "done" staying fit, because whether dieting or not, you have to exercise. All your life. At least 3-5 days a week. So, you should get used to that idea. Also - why are you in agony? Are you missing greasy things? Because on a diet you should really be eating every 2-3 hours or so. But the snacks should be nutritious, and the meals as well, and the meals should balance protein/fat/carbs. You probably know this already - it's hard to not eat greasy food at first. or always. That is why, like Bikerchic, I prefer to exercise rather than dieting. Good luck! Hit that gym! (or go hiking, or play sports, or whatever you do). My weight is evah so slowly creeping downward. evah....so....slowly... Oh, and don't smoke pot, either *laughie* Oh, hey, fake meat products will cut your calories dramatically while satisfying your craving for yumminess. I bought ground Boca recently and I make the most delicious satisfying burritos from it. Get this - a whole pouch of the Boca (I usually use half a pouch per burrito) only has 120 calories!!! And not much fat, cholesterol, etc. Do you know how many calories and how much fat and cholesterol the ground beef equivelant would be?! Lots. Lets see....Apples with peanut butter is a good nutritious snack - it satisfies your sweet tooth, plus the PB satisfies your craving for fat and is filling as well. The bonus is apples are really good for you and only one apple has five grams of fiber and only, like, 70 calories! If you are not very fond of veggies, dip those carrots and broccoli and peppers in a LITTLE BIT of ranch. Ranch isn't good for you, but if it makes you eat the veggies, it's fine. The thing about veggies is, they are really filling and satisfying. I find that if I don't get enough good nutrients, I crave more food, and fattier food. I also recommend finding a tea you like and having that twice a day at least. Not with sugar. Acidic citrus foods help cut your appetite, like lemons and oranges. Eat walnuts or salmon, and nuts in general (in moderation) because the good fats in those help your body process the other fat that you take in much more of. I apologize if you totally already know all about the suggestions I just gave you....
