Anyone else do this??
Intentionally sabatoge their efforts? Or to put it in a different way--making bad decisions despite everything you know?? Today should have started out well. It was an intentional rest day for workouts. I got 10 hours of sleep (an enormous luxury for me). I had to leave the house earlier than planned so I could take my…

taking measurements?
I have never taken any measurements but I starting to think I should. I have relied on the scale and the way my clothes fit. It just didn't occur to me that taking measurements could also be a good motivator. I know I have lost 1.5-2 inches on my waist based off of my belt and I can see the difference in my legs. So I know…

Changes in Aerobics, but Still Plateau'd
Fellow MFPers: I took a look today at the forums dedicated to plateaus, and I understand the basics, but I was hoping people could provide specific examples of how to break through, especially if they follow a regime like mine. I've lost about 20lbs in 3 months, but since just before Christmas, I've been stuck between…

I read the article written for newbies. Please don't get mad for asking a question you already answered :) I find it hard to believe if I burned 400 calories I can eat 400 calories? This seems like alot.
