    I finally broke my plateau!

    How do you figure out what you burn for an entire day? i know how many calories i burn working out at the gym. but dont know what i am burning the rest of the day???! im confused and frustrated. im at about 1200 to 1300 calories a day,and working out almost everyday,but havent lost anything in months!
  2. kool that you are seeing him today.let me know how it goes! how many more weeks on liquid ? one? or 2?

Im actually glad i stayed the night, i had major problems with nausea the whole night so they kept putting anti nausea meds in my IV so it helped , yeah they do the fills under fleuro . i am doin better i have been going walking every night for an hour so thats a start,and the little bad eating habits i was starting to do again i have stopped doing, i only have 37 more pounds to go ,so i have to do it! i didnt do all this to not finish LOL , if i may ask how much do you need to lose? I had a total of 90
