I absolutely LOVE running in the rain as long as lightning isn't present lol. I have never had issues with wet feet. I do get properly fitted shoes from my favorite running shoe store though. My first and only marathon I ran last December and it rained the first half of it. I was shocked to not have a single blister after…

Rice crispy treats!!!

When I'm out in the heat a lot it kills my appetite big time. The summer I think it's easier for me to maintain because my everyday activities are amped up with fun sunshine things. But can't say it has caused a significant weight decline. I live in Texas and it is more often than not hotter than hell and awful humidity.…

Yes OMG yes!!!! If I slack on upper body strength my back reminds me how important it is!!!

I like the taste of the jelly beans but they make me want to chug water. It's like to tangy or something. Same to the gels. Would love to see all other suggestions!!

The smile in your after photo says it all!!! So PROUD of you. You look great and HAPPY :-)

Yes ma'am you can still lose :-) I started out at 1200 calories and am back again but now eat most of my exercise calories back. It slowed things down a bit but still losing. And around my time of the month I think I'm starving so I eat at maintenance to avoiding binging and ruining it all. Trial and error. You may see a…

I started with walking and would run a few minutes at a time here and there. I gradually increased with the running. I started last March and can now nearly run a 10k!!! Never thought I'd even want to run but sure do enjoy it :-)

Squat shoes??....do tell!!!!

When I first started I was for sure obese. I couldn't afford the gym and don't have child care. I used a lot of youtube videos and worked out in front of a full length mirror so I could check myself on form. I even watched how to videos for specific exercises if I felt I wasn't doing them properly. I think using body…

Circuit training is what I would log it as :wink:

I'm 5'3 and I'm at maintenance and my calories are at 1450. I do eat far more than that because my fitbit is linked so I will eat back my exercise cals. So I guess I'm wondering what did you set your activity level to in your settings? Because it almost sounds like you are eating at maintenance not in a plateau. Could be…

I have changed my weight loss goals to fitness goals instead. I want to be able to do one armed push ups ect... This has helped remind me that this is not over there is still work to do :) Time to be really awesome now!!

Fever+food=vomit. Push the fluid and get better!

I love to cook!!!!! I'm on board if you would like to add me. Been at this a while I'd love to help if I could!! Yes open diary :)

Iced coffee... One cup cashew milk unsweetened 25 cal. Half cup black coffee 0 cal. One squirt of Milk Magic's original iced coffee milk infusion 0 calories!!!! It is heaven for 25 calories to have an iced coffee there is no going back for me!!!!

The fewer rules you set the better. Don't diet. Eat what you like but weigh it and log it honestly and the weight will go if you stay within your calorie allotment for the day. Walking may be best for exercise, kiddoe in the stroller and you are good to go. Walking or any workout isn't required to lose but it feels so good…

I would say not to be jogging until you no longer need the meds. Might defeat the purpose. Hang tight until you heal up.

Explain please how many cal are you eating?? And what workout is it sucking out your cal in 10-15 min?

Give it time I think you are on your way.

Are you using a food scale?

Add me!! I've lost a good chunk of my weight and still going strong! Lets do this!!! That goes for any one positive and female!!!

Ok there is some good news that can come with that horrible time!! If you stay on point with your diet and exercise through the pain you can really take advantage of the few extra calories you are already burning. My weight loss has slowed but it is at this time of the month the scale moves for me. Resist the urge to lay…

Girl let me tell you!!! I didn't notice a change myself until about 25lb dropped. Others did but it took me longer. You will get there just keep at it!!!

Start watching that show my 600lb life. Got me straight!

Ok still go get some labs done...we need to regardless. I've got the thyroid thing and it can get you feeling blah. But for the fun stuff think of something crazy and go for it. How about that one armed push up ect. So much work, so much fun. The sky is the limit. It's up to you how awesome you want to be!!!

Ok just for the sake of safety go get a check up at your doc get some lab work done...the basics. Might just be lacking some iron or other nutrients for that matter if your a little under weight. Also get a new goal!! Try a fitness goal of some kind to help you change things up at the gym. Boredom is a downer for sure. I…

How long have you been trying and what are you doing. Are you using a food scale? You need to give a little more info for advice on diet. Now feeling pretty is another story. You can lose all the weight you want and not feel that. Work on pretty now. Look at yourself and find it. Its there I promise.

I think pinterest causes insomnia. Stop with that and see how you do....xoxo

Maybe a little off topic however, I used my scale the other day to show my young boys that YES YOU AND YOUR BROTHER HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MAC N CHEESE. We haven't had that argument since!!!
