Oh, that digital scale...
So this morning I weighed myself to test out my scale on a few different surfaces, just to see if the number would be different. I tried it on a squishy carpet, a flat surface, and tile. Well, on the tile, I weighed the most. Then when I weighed myself on the squishy carpet I dropped...10 lbs... and then on the tile I went…

how does it make sense?
I've lost 3 inches off my waist this month and 2 off of my hips. I've gained 15 pounds!!! It doesn't make sense to me. The gain makes sense I've been eating poorly and not very active its the inches that don't make sense.

What are your reasons?
I've been struggling with my weight for a few years. I've been on-again, off-again with this site for about a year and a half (I can't remember exactly when I joined). When I started my reasons for losing weight were pretty much all superficial. I wanted to look better in my clothes, get out of the double digit sizes, be…

Question about the CURVES plan
I had a friend just show me her Curves book and wanted us to do it together for a week. But, I am not sure I agree with a maintenance calorie intake of 2000-2500 calories in Phase 3 to recover metabolism. It seemed like there was a lot of weight yo-yoing in this plan? I know in MFP we have our consistent daily goal, not…

Has Anyone Read Master Your Metabolism
I have been reading Master Your Metabolism by Jillian Michaels. When I first bought it I thought it was going to be a bunch of BS in it. Well I love it. Everything I have read has made sense. She puts things in a way you could really understand it. Has anyone else read this book, and if so what do you think about it? April

To snack or not to snack after supper?
As with everything I want to know about fitness and weight loss, I get a lot of contradictory advice with what I read about evening snacking :grumble: Some say it prevents your body from going into starvation mode Some say you shouldn't eat after supper time, cause evening hunger means your body is feeding on your fat…

Ok so I had a few girlfriends over last night to play bunko. I knew I was going to have a busy day and that my guests wouldn't leave til around 9 p.m. I hate to workout that late because by the time I take a shower and get to bed, it's way to late.

I had decent losses for 3 weeks, but last week I gained 1lb (due to an attack of the…
