is this going to taper out? I'm not looking to become huge,or to be needing to replace my wardrobe.

The best advice I have been given on MFP is to step away from the scale. If you are weighing yourself daily you will get caught up in the fluctuations. Try weighing yourself every 3 days, first thing in the morning. Then you are getting a more accurate reading.

Thanks, perhaps I am just impatient. I started Barre in April at 138lbs because I wasn't thrilled with how I looked, I wanted to tone up and lose ~10 lbs. I didn't track what I was eating because I was working out 4-5 days per week and ate when I was hungry. I stepped on a scale 2 weeks ago and I had gained 10 pounds.…

Soda is so addicting!!! Its easy to fall into the habit of drinking soda regularly-- I'm so guilty. I think, the main thing here is to not punish yourself, but have will power. In my personal experience there are 3 things that drive the soda craving, (1) Fizzy bubbles (yes its true!) (2) Sugar, (3) caffeine. I'm almost…

I would highly recommend incorporating a barre class into your routine. It is a great, low impact, strength training class that uses resistance bands and micro movements to get deep into the muscles. The classes focus on using your core for the entire class with 2 core specific sets. I've noticed a huge difference in my…
