I miss my level of fitness from before. I miss being able to put an outfit together based on how it coordinates, rather than how each piece looks on me. I miss my jawline. I don't like being the heaviest I've ever been. I'm just uncomfortable in this place. I finally am ready because I'm done having my babies and nursing.…

While at home, I "need" to be reading to eat. Or need to eat while reading. I remember being a kid and thinking "I want to do my favorite 2 things at the same time!" while I walked to my room with a book and a snack. If I'm out, I have no issue eating without reading. If I am reading a REALLY good new book, I can sometimes…

I don't log on the weekends. I try to be mindful, but I do snack a bit more than normal. I feel mixed about this. By letting myself do this, I am getting a break from the constant challenges during the week to change my bad habits. This seems to let me reset each Monday. But, I am also continuing with some bad habits,…

I like it. I definitely don't remember what it said 5 weeks ago, so it doesn't factor into my feelings about how I am being active and eating. But each time I have a day where I met my calorie goal, I love clicking that button and seeing a projected weight of less than I am today.

I weigh after a work-out. This keeps me motivated to GO to the gym, so I can see where I am landing that day.

To answer your question, I would rather my face look healthy and my body look like it needs some toning. Same with my husband. I was essentially here at my ideal weight, which I sustained for about 8 years. I looked pretty strong and fit, even if I didn't have a 6 pack and my thighs touch.

As a former trainer, I hope I can offer some insight as well! Full disclosure: I did not have a degree and had an ACE certification. I think picking a trainer is an incredibly personal experience. I worked at a large gym and conducted my own sessions (one on one and group fitness). I was a great trainer for some people…

When you enter in your goal in MFP, it gives you your target amount of calories per day (1250). This is saying, this is how many calories you need each day to meet your goal. If you only actually intake 1250 calories, and you burn off say 250, that means you have only have a net of 1000 calories for the day. That's why you…

Time is my biggest struggle. I've tried working out in the mornings and evenings, and I can't stick to either. I simply cannot wake up any earlier (I am already hitting snooze at 5:30), and I am so tired in the evenings. I started going to the gym during the work day (lunch break). I am very lucky to have a more flexible…

I was chatting with a co-worker, and I mentioned I was extra hungry. He said "eating for 2?". Now, we do have a pretty joking relationship, and I know another co-worker he sits next to is pregnant so it was just at the forefront of his mind....but STILL! Jeez dude. Also kinda hurt cuz we ARE trying but no luck yet

I dont have a specific diet, but I do focus on getting more protein in my day and to take out the excess carbs

I'm just repeating what others have said, but pleeeeease don't go under 1200 calories! I think the bouncing pounds are your body's way of saying to revisit your weight loss strategy. The last 10 can be a really hard road. Slow, tedious. Especially depending what those 10 will get you to - is it a reasonable weight, your…

I agree! I enjoy posting here more than the larger community

Honestly, please add some nutrition in your diet. Replace the calories in your cream and fake sugars with fruits and vegetables! Also, I think you are at a place where you should add in some strength training. I really think you should focus on eating nutritionally, strength training, and some cardio for heart fitness.…

Core integrity is really important for more than a look of defined abs. It's your CORE, and having that strong helps with spine stability as well. I would absolutely recommend to start doing some ab exercises.

Thank you!! I'm pretty surprised but maybe my body was ready for an initial flush

Probably about 80% accuracy. I often do meal prepping, so I'll make a big batch of something with a lot of ingredients. Logging all those and then breaking it into serving sizes is cumbersome, so I don't worry too much about it being perfectly accurate. My issue is simply over-eating on snacks and eating when I'm not…

I lost this weight about 11 years ago, and kept it off until I got pregnant (2016/2017). Since having my daughter, the weight has stayed. My reasons: -We're trying for baby 2, and I don't want THIS to be my starting point. -I'm sick of how my clothes fit. I hate having to avoid X shirt with Y pants. -I miss my level of…

A guy at the gym looked at my butt....and the NSV is that I thought "well yeah, it's looking good", rather than "I swear it used to be more perky"
