Eating more really does help lose the weight, part II

This morning, I wrote a bit about why calories are king.
And today in some forums, there were more postings about eating more and suddenly losing more too!  Check out:
Eat more AND LOSE weight?
I think the reason why some folks can’t wrap their minds around this fact is that the ‘eating more’ means nutritionally-dense foods […]

Why Calories Are King - Eat more to lose weight?

Morning,
One of the toughest things dieters have to realize is that eating less junk food is GOOD! But eating too few calories is BAD!
It certainly sounds counter-productive!! There are folks on weight loss forums who will declare they’re eating 1,200 calories or so…but the weight just doesn’t come off. Why oh […]

Pushing past stark fear and expanding your courage

Well! Yesterday was a rather fascinating workout in one of my favorite activities. To make a long story short, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt I’d be utterly decimated, that knowledge caused a massive upwelling of fear, and yet I found it within myself to push past it and challenge […]

One more pound - bye bye! Weight loss/diet going great

Morning all,
Well! After karate kendo yesterday, I weighed myself at home and found I was 133.1 . This means I’ve lost about 2 pounds in the past week….which, given the fact I’ve been at 135 now for more than a month, is absolutely a newsworthy event!!
I broke my plateau by promising […]

When fad diets cause heart problems for weight loss

Have you ever heard of the Kimkins diet?

Happy happy joy joy! I’m buff, I’m buff, I’m mega, I’m buff!

Oh wow oh wow oh wow!
I lift weights and become one with the iron 2-3 times a week. Last Sunday, I was inspired to be quite meticulous about my weight-lifting routine (having had my rear neatly handed to me in various self-defense moves the day before).
Well, this morning when I exited the shower, […]

1 minute at 3 mph
Put ramp to level 10, increase speed to 3.5 mph. 9 minutes or so of that.
Put ramp on highest level (level 15), keep speed at 3.5 mph. 30 […]

A super side benefit to dieting and losing weight

You know, I never knew the following would happen until I peered in the mirror last night and realized it!!
One of the great benefits to losing unhealthy weight is your proportions generally start to look, well, proportional!! While my measurements have decreased from a 42-41-42 to a 36-29-35.5, my chest has (dare […]

Witness the Magic - be brave, be strong, be true to yourself

Morning,
You know, every person has their own mental picture of who they are, and what they can accomplish, generally all neatly wrapped up in personal boundaries and static impressions.
The problem with this is you might be laboring under delusions that are no longer true! Certainly, years ago…the way you viewed yourself and your […]

When does weight loss and maintaining it become normal?

The sun is shining, the birdies are mooing and the cows are tweeting and life is going along rather well!
Today I read a rather insightful posting over at 3FatChicks.com . The title of the thread is, When does this become “normal”? My contributions included:
