Congrats on your loss! For me, I had a 6 month long stall, and it took me changing up my diet and exercise. And adding more water. Are you eating the same thing every day? Mix it up. Our bodies can get used to the same things. Maybe switching from tae bo to another program. I actually added more carbs into my diet and…

I used to just go by package weight, but you'd be surprised by the differences in prepackaged foods. And bananas, don't get me started. Some weigh double what others weigh, which significantly affects the calories and carbs. It really takes very little time, and when I tightened up my logging by weighing things like that…

I found the right kind of gym for me. I used to go to a general kind of gym, and I basically went for the classes or the personal training. When I moved, I tried Curves, but the clientele was not in my age range and the workout was not to my liking. Then I went to a yoga studio, and while I enjoyed the classes, the people…

My exhusband thought I was too fat. Even when I was at my goal weight. He would straight tell me I was fat. He's a *kitten* and my EX for that and other reasons. My current husband met me when I was in the best shape of my life (revenge body) and also watched me gain 50 pounds due to stress, medication and obviously lack…

Bacon with 2 eggs 2 egg whites. Sometimes I just scramble the eggs. Other times I'll add spinach and feta or some shredded cheddar for an omelette. It doesn't take much time to make at all.

I am a SAHCM (stay at home cat mom :) ) and work out at home too.

Mine hurt for about a month and I couldn't sleep on my stomach for that time period. You might need to modify your tummy down exercises till it heals. As @VanVanDiane said, keeping the bandaid/plaster on it while you're exercising could help but that first month is definitely a killer.

I am not a gym person. For the past few years I have been rolling out of bed and putting workout clothes on and doing videos. I find programs I can tolerate and stick to them. I've lost a lot of inches as well as pounds. I did join a yoga studio so I could get some mind body connection as well and am aiming for videos 5…

Love my scale.

If you're taking synthroid that should help a lot. Your dosage might need to be increased. Or another med added, but since I've been on thyroid meds, I haven't had any issues with hypothyroidism.

I've been going through this for the last month. Not working out. Not eating right. My weight is staying the same, and I can barely get out of bed. Been a long time since I've been this depressed. I hope it levels out soon.

Wow! You look amazing!

Ugh. I used to wake up with chocolate in my mouth. Thanks Seroquel! I go to a metobolic specialist (MD) and a registered dietician to help me with my Seroquel assisted weight gain. I've been on a low carb diet for over a year and it's the only thing that's helped me lose weight. It definitely tolerable for me, and even…

It depends on the situation. If it's against office policy, definite no. If one of you is subordinate to the other, NO. If you work in different departments on different floors, maybe, but think of the ramifications if/when you split up. As far apart as you may feel, you will run into each other all the time after you…

If you have free Ondemand from your cable company there a lot of good videos under sportskool.

Super scary ending. Love this book!

That happens to me when I eat crappy food now. Either heartburn or some kind of stomach distress.

I don't know, my dietician was having a cow about me consuming so much of it, plus all the carbs adding up. And I'm losing a bit faster now that I've switched. I never thought of it as bad for me but just that I had to cut down considerably. My breakfast was an extra 14 carbs just from aspartame.

I work out at home. I'm starting 2nd round of Les Mills next week. Might do a hybrid with CIZE because I just love it so much. Please add me.

Every day.

I know it's frustrating and I can totally relate. I also had weight gain due to medication. We see others losing faster and wonder "why can't I ?". I've lost 24 pounds in 15 months. There are people on MFP losing 2-3 times that amount. But my body just isn't working like that. So I do the best I can with logging, exercise…

I think everything in moderation. I had a huge addiction to aspartame. I was putting 8 packets in each of my 2 cups of coffee in the morning, plus if I got an outside cup, that would be another 8 so up to 24 packets a day. Then I realized that each packet has a little less than 1 carb, so add all of them together and…

Just chiming in. I quit September 8 2010, but who's counting. Cold turkey. I was a total bust the first week but I have not had one cigarette since then. I can breathe better, exercise longer and I know I will live longer. I occasionally have a craving but they are quickly overpowered by my hatred for the smell. Good job…
