  • I started having some alarming health consequences to putting on about 45lbs in the past several years. The weight itself was not necessarily the root of my issues, but it was a symptom of a huge problem-- really poor eating habits. The consequences were things like irregular heartbeat, fertility issues, chronic…

  • I had to log in on the computer to change it yesterday. My "starting weight" was a weight from 2013, pre-baby and switch from a job where I was on my feet all day to a desk job. There was about a 38lb difference. Pretty depressing to continually see "xxlbs gained" every day...

  • April 2nd, crappy weather so I decided to hit the gym instead. Got my steps in on the elliptical, not sure if that counts... 5,271 steps. Not really impressive to me, but it's better than nothing!

  • Drinking my calories daily and then wondering wth is wrong. Only logging calories in MFP at the end of the day. Not logging on days I know will be bad. "I'll start tomorrow, I'll be better tomorrow, I'll start next week/month/year/never". Thinking exercise will overcome all. Eating junk food and then wondering why I'm too…

  • You will have plateaus here and there. I recently just hit a two week plateau of no weight loss but definite body changes (loss of inches, gaining stress). I've gotta tell you, it was damn discouraging! Stick with the process. Additionally, look at what you are consuming. CICO is a given, but for me, I was hanging on to…

  • I purchased a FitBit Flex last year because I wasn't sure that I'd actually stick with all of this... I was right to do so because I wore it for about a month, then put it down and stopped wearing it for a few months. Something clicked in December however and now I'm tracking and wearing a FitBit daily. Last week I retired…

  • I have the same issue. Currently I am using Vega protein nutritional shake. It's approximately $45 on Amazon and that's a month's supply. It's a little pricey, but I also am able to enjoy the added benefit of the probiotics added to it. Keeps you regular. ;) Otherwise I eat almonds, cashews, pistachios, black beans, and…
