Deff! My weight has been the same for three weeks, (which is when I started to bump up weight training and cardio) however I have gone down a full pant size. Inches are great!

1.5? Oh man, when its shark week I weight 3-6 lbs heavier, then it all poofs away a few days after its over.

I used a scale for the better part of six months and then I killed it on accident (got too much water on it, it never came back on. Oops) anyway for a month I didn't use one cause I couldn't get into town to buy another. So I was eye balling and because I know what it looked like from the scale, when I did get a new scale,…

ALL beans? I see. Try them a few different ways, if you need cheap protein you cant really be that picky.

Canadas food costs is a lot more than the US, 5 dollars here would get you bread and jam IF the jam was on sale. 5 dollars IS the cost of a pound of ground turkey. Soups and Chillis will be your friend. I buy bulk dry beans at places like The Bulk Barn for next to nothing, even Walmart has a bag of black beans for 2.47…

When I lived with my mom for a short time, I either offered to cook most days so I knew what was in everything or I bought and prepped and made my own food.

This item of advice I read somewhere. It was basically set a plan for the min amount of time you could work out even if you felt like crap. IE 20 minutes. So on the days when your like, Im not doing to work out. Do the 20 minutes as a bare min. Often times I got into it and did more than 20, even if I didn't, I at least…

If Im being lazy and I want take out so I don't have to cook, or I start eating something that doesn't taste great at the time but keep going, I say it isn't worth it. When my FIL (Italian) makes his Sunday pasta supper, that is SO worth it. Not only for the family but the food is so amazing. We go once a month or so, and…

I wouldn't freeze lettuce or spinach, I would add that when your ready to eat it. I find often times anything with a bread like coating will get soggy. I do my freezer meals half way. I cook the meat ect and freeze, take it out in the AM and by the PM all I have to do is get the side items ready. Then everything is still…

I normally bank calories here and there so I do log my binges and I know it isn't so bad. I also find it helps me to binge less because I feel like I'm undoing my hard work. Not that it isn't worth it and good for the soul once in awhile IMO.

I started at over 350 lbs. I lost weight the first time mainly by restricting my calories under 1000 if not some days not even eating. It came from a place of anger and hate. I got down to 290 and then got pregnant and got back up to 324. Then I lost all the weight and was back to 290 for my six week post baby appointment.…

Im 149 lbs down and luckily so far I dont have much excess skin. Minus my apron belly (had a baby a year and half ago) which I dont think will pull back up without surgery. Weight training can help reduce the excess skin, but like others said, age, genetics determine it.

No it isnt. Second tri is not a magic number that means nothing will happen. If something did happen before then it doesnt mean her pregnancy didnt happen. I say tell everyone when your ready, thats the best time!

CONGRATS!!! I was 300 lbs for my first pregnancy and had zero issues, no high blood pressure or sugars, nothing at all! I didnt feel pregnant until I felt kicks, its very surreal! CONGRATS again!

SW 300 lbs, first six months I lost 60 lbs.

Nope, not my business.

I think thats why its important to make healthy habits and continue to do so once you hit your goal weight. Not just oh hey, I'm going to diet like mad then eat like I did pre diet and not move my body and gain it back. I know so much now about health that I didn't know when I started in the mid 300's. I didn't eat badly,…

Make sure to remember a complete vegetarian protein are things like beans and whole wheat rice. Try lots of recipes out and try not to get roped into pasta everyday all day lol. I too gained a lot of weight the first time I went vegetarian. I can easily never eat meat again, but I could never go vegan and give up cheese.

I've lost 149 lbs in total using CICO and it's really not too hard. Maybe because I still have 70-90 lbs to go so my margin of error is slightly bigger than someone whom has only a few pounds to lose. That being said, so long as your accounting for error in your calories or the workout calories you earn then it's really…

Yes it does, if your eating less calories than you burn obvi. It isnt super fun, Jillian gets on my nerves and you have to make sure you do the moves right not to stress your knee joints. Its great for losing inches though!

I started at the same weight more or less and at first I didnt lose much because I was eyeballing and using cups vs scale. I also wasnt honest in my logging which really just cheats yourself. Get her to get a scale and to be patient.

I throw 5-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker with some stock or water and spices, turn it on low for 6-8 hours or high for four hours then shred. Takes no time, very little prep and right there you have chicken to throw on top of salad, in wraps, throw in soup, anything really. Can do the same but no…

Yes. Lost 140 lbs total, 2lbs a week steady pace. Most importantly, my fitness is improving. I'm getting stronger, not just thinner.

Nope. There will be days when you eat over your goal. Subtracting those calories out of the next day will leave you hungry and more likely to over eat again. Log it, move on, make better choices going forward.

Im 24, down 70 lbs, have another 80ish to go! add me :)

Thank you everyone :) I love the flex but it doesn't work well with Leslie Sansone videos, she uses a lot of non normal step movements that it (I think) doesn't pick up well. I've never been a big go outside person, which is deff something I'm working on, we go on a few long hikes around here when SO is off (I'm too scared…

Backhanded compliments. Mostly doled out by jealous people. Did she seem like she was trying to be rude or did it seem sincere? I try not to assume everyone is being backhanded when giving me a compliment, drives you nuts.

I started again at 300 lbs (lost 100 a few years before, got pregnant, stalled, ect) I did/still do Leslie Sansone walk at home dvds. Super easy, fun and effective!

My you should weight ____ in five weeks goes from 2lbs less to 24lbs less. It used to really stress me out so I would go back and add them all the average them all out. Some months I was close, others not. It's hard but so long as you have a long term trend of your weight going down, it's all good. Ps. When my scale isn't…

The first half of my life, my mom. She and my sister are naturally very thin, I was not. My mom would feed me huge adult sized portions then when I said I was still hungry I'd get another full sized adult portion. I say my mom because I was a kid and she put the food on my plate, ect. Second half of my life, that's all me.…
