Do you agree with the trainer/nutritionist on the show, when he asserts the following ( Read more... )

based on past weight loss experience, when i pushed to the point of wanting to throw up, that's when i saw results superfast. i don't know that that's a good thing for your body or not but it did work for me. how to motivate to do so...to be really honest....and don't judge...i'm not all bad...but the only thing that motivated me to push it that last little bit was anger and spite. 'i'll show you asshole...i'll lose this weight and you'll eat shit!". and when sweating, i'd also be crying. it was anger-driven in a past relationship. honestly...i know that sounds awful to focus on the bad things to motivate me but when i focus on the good, i want to celebrate life with food!!! and now what i will let motivate me is the bad feelings i feel when people make me feel bad about my weight. maybe that's not a good thing...but it'll work ( ... )

Ihave such a small (relatively) weight loss goal, so it's hard for me to judge - I mean, comparing my loss to that of someone who is obese, it doesn't compute. I'm quite happy losing 1 lb per week - but I also started at 1lb per week. (I'm at 154 now, hoping to reach 130 ( ... )

Just a few thoughts, from my horribly vast experience ( ... )

a year later, i'm catching up on commenting LOL! the condiment thing has only partially worked for me too. it's hard to convert when your preferences just simply aren't vinegar and mustard and the other 'free' type stuff. i've never liked the taste of the vinaigrettes or anything else tangy or tart. which pretty much means that it's a battle for me because anything that appeals to my taste buds is sweet (therefore calories and fat)!.

one thing i do do though...is add a bit of splenda to things to sweeten them up a bit. so at least there's no fat and barely any calories.

You should push yourself during exercise only to a point. For many who have never really exercised their threshold is really low. You need to work almost to the point of fatigue. You should feel like you couldn't do much more at your current frequency, intensity, or duration (FIT). Anything less and you're not working to your potential. Anything more and you've probably crossed the anaerobic threshold and aren't burning anything but sugar not fat stores ( ... )
