  • I got a good scale from Walmart for under 10.00 I'm pretty sure. I agree with the other posters weigh and measure everything you eat to be sure you are tracking accurately. As for the hunger issue a few tips: 1. increase the amount of protein in your diet, for example have eggs, salmon, peanut butter or the like with…

  • Seasoning, hot sauce, ketchup or mustard. Single bites or tastes of food when cooking. I rarely eat back exercise calories and am still losing above my weekly goal so until something changes I'll stick with this.

  • YouTube is awesome. I'm a water baby and go to the gym 5 days a week for water aerobics but during TOM I'm all YouTube. I'll do Yoga one day, walking in home, zumba, hip hop dance, and body weight exercises all in my living room for free. I understand not "needing" to exercise to lose weight but for me, in order to create…

  • I have overcame my TOM workout paranoia. I usually flat out refuse to do anything during TOM because I have endometriosis and a lot of pain. Yesterday I did 20 min of Yoga and today a 20 min 1 mile walk! First time ever being active during TOM, I'm so proud!!

  • Lost 80lbs some years ago with weight watchers. I primarily did water aerobics and walking for exercise. After 12 years with PCOS and infertility I lost the 80lbs and was knocked up without even trying lol (had sex one day that month). Now two beautiful kids later I'm back on my journey, this time with MFP and same…

  • I bought Slim in 6 years ago and have done it several times (as my weight has yo yo'd several times). I saw very noticeable changes in my body shape even though I didn't lose a lot of weight but I wasn't focused on nutrition like I needed to be either. No info on the shakes.
    in Anyone tried Beachbody programs or Shakeology Comment by joyfulton94 May 2015
  • Just getting started has helped me tremendously. I track everything and get some form of exercise 6 days a week. Every morning when I step on the scale I see some movement which inspires me to keep going. I read the success stories on here sometimes twice a day and that helps as well. The first step is taking the first…
