Provided you feel fine, don't push too hard I would. I walked/ran combo up till about 25wks with my second preg (pushing the first one in a pram too) and stopped for unrelated reasons. Though I did pick waking back up a bit later as I swear the exercise helped with my first birth (I only stopped exercising a wk before…

I do the left over thing too or like today have taken in some roasted chicken breast and 2 steamer bags of veggies to pop in the microwave.

I too would lean too gall bladder, also I would often have a numb spot on my front right side about 1/3 between breast and belly button. Radiating back pain in my case too.

It is a shock when you see such a site for the first time, like you I found one when researching coke zero which was the main source of 'food' for many on the site I came across. I too stumbled in by coming across a post which seemed to answer my search question and then after reading the rest of the responses in the forum…

I suspect this is a troll post but............ Stop lifting whenever, I have found that I appear to be able to eat more than I think without putting on weight for a period after stopping a vigorous exercise program but measurements wise I will get bigger. So make sure you adjust your food intake and keep any eye on…

Your body uses energy aka burns calories keeping our bodies alive. It takes energy to pump that heart, expand those lungs etc. If you eat 3 pounds of food yes immediately you will weigh 3 pounds more but then as body digests food the calorie content of the food will become more relevant. I cant answer your second question,…

Are you sure they fit the same as opposed to you have not gone down a size. A lot of people including me refuse to buy up a size so I was wearing a 16 while I probably should have been an 18. It will also depend on your style of clothing, I have recently gone a bit awol and kilo creep set in, I can no longer wear my fitted…

[/quote] I've often wondered how my husband can go a whole day without eating, but then i noticed this only happens when he's drinking beer. As soon as he switches to water late afternoon he starts to get ravenous. I think the fizzyness bloats him and makes him feel full. I don't drink beer or soda, so cant put it to the…

I am a slow but steady runner. If I push myself harder I'll burn out fast. I was training for a 12km race this year. My program had a mix of long and short runs. Short you ran faster and long you ran slow. While I ended up being injured for my 12km race I did a 8km a coupe of weeks prior and saw my training pay off in 2…

I have tried the prepackaged food diet. Lean Cusine/Weight Watchers etc. I personally found that they didnt keep me as full as a home prepared meal for the same calories. I have to get back into it but I purchased takeaway containers and would cook big batches of meals (It took more than 10 mins but wasnt very frequent).…

Well dropping my fully loaded bar on my foot resulted in some serious bruising! Generally I will end up with more bruises as I am more active whiel trying to lose weight. Esp when I did bootcamp style exercise as you get caught up with what your doing or trying not to throw up that you dont notice a bump and the adrenaline…

Its hard to get everyday at the same deficit, even when I was on a meal plan (1200 cal per day) and was weighing out all food and doing the same amount of exercise I got different deficits. I never got to the predicted weight in that 5 weeks. I kept a spreadsheet of my ins and out and then worked backwards to get a…

My mum had a similar thing happen after she quit smoking. Now she spends as much on vitamins as she did on smokes so no actual savings for her. In reality the things she ended up with were present while she was smoking (she actually gave up smoking due to needing to stop for 48hrs after dental work and then she ended up in…

Your waist is amazing! You look great!

I am in a similar situation to you. I work full time and have 3 kids. My husband also work full time. I tend to do all the kid stuff. homework, running around, drs . A few years ago I did the lot. Slowly we have progressed to my husband doing some more stuff. It wasnt necessarily a pleasant experience transitioning. He now…

I used to take buscopan forte as soon I felt the pain starting, sometimes I could avoid a full blown attack that way. Also the shower on my lower back (I was preg at the time so couldnt get the hot shower on my stomach). I spent many hours under that shower. A bath or hot water bottle would work too. Lean meats or little…

Its hard to tell from the photos if your what I would call curvy, a straight on full length photo with no posing/twisting would have made it easier to tell. Generally looking at hip to waist ratio but also looking at shape of legs. Your legs look different in the photos due to angles or maybe they were over a period of…

Combination of tired and genetics. I like my sister have ever present bags, they come in bad or really bad depending on diet/ lack of sleep. We also have shadows above our eyes often mistaken for eyeshadow.

I can get headaches from too much caffeine in soda (I dont drink tea or coffee) and I can get it from too little caffeine. Sometimes i cant tell the diff (I'll think it a withdrawal headache and have a coke only to find it makes it worse). I generally find my headaches link back to sleep (or lack of) and hydration and that…

Well it could be that you have lost muscle as well as fat in the same proportion as you've lost weight. Did you incorporate strength training and keep up your protein during your weight loss. Did you lose the weight fast (more likely to have lost more muscle if it was a rapid weight loss). There are a few other things that…

Not sure if its true but I was doing a nutritional course that said after about 18mths your body will expel the empty fat cells as it recognises that you dont need them anymore. Up till then it kept them around to save it from having to make new ones when you overeat.

Have you checked they are actually syncing? I sometimes check the exercise adj info to see if it has the current time or 11:59pm for the date in question. I discovered one of the updates (not sure if it was fitbit, iphone or MFP) changed my syncing pref to use my steps on my phone instead of my fitbit. (I think it was in…

Do you have a way to track how many steps you take eg. phone with a tracking app? Why do you walk a lot during the day eg. mailperson or stay at home mum or the printer is at the other side of the office? You havent given us much to work with. Eg. I have a full time desk job so I would usually put myself down as sedentary.…

I presume you have noticed a trend of BF% (not a single reading) going up otherwise people are going to come back and tell you that the actual measurement is probably inaccurate. But if the trend is BF% up then its probably what is happening. Are you less active now than when you were losing weight? Do you eat enough…

Well the min for guys is 1500 so you are well below the min. Have you actually taken the time to set up your weight loss goals in MFP as it would have set you a calorie target for your weight loss goal. Are you sure your eating 1000 cal (eg weighing all food). At 296lbs and using the 1% per week guideline for max safe…

Mine looks bigger the smaller I get. Its smaller too of course but proportionally it seems bigger as I have an hourglass shape. On the up side the same thing happens with my boobs. They are smaller but against my body they seem bigger as the rest has decreased more.
-
No you dont need special diets or meal replacements but for some people they are a good motivator/kickstart to the weight loss process. This might not be right for you but it could be the right step for someone else. For example I paid AU$200 for joining an online program that came with meal planning & a fitness program…

I love the pictures of things that weight as much as you've lost. While I havent had to buy new clothes cause I had heaps that were too small and now fit, I have had to ditch clothes cause they looked ridiculous. One pair of shorts that I've stashed away for a reminder I originally wore with spandax underneath so they fit,…

I am 5'4 and was just over 200lbs and it took 11 weeks of 1200-1500 cal intake and 60mins of exercise 5-6 days a week to lose 24pds.

Well there would have been some initial water weight due to the sudden introduction of exercise(holding extra water for muscle repair), though I would have expected this to have settled by now but if you are still getting used to the exercises, weigh the day after a long ride etc it could be water. Are you still sore the…
