This is probably true- I have not always stayed within my calorie max every day. I'm also middle aged and I think my body likes to hang onto fat in my tummy area. God knows why!

Yes, love planks and can incorporate more.

I was born in the land of pop, but moved to soda

Both gross! sour milk WYR watch a movie at a theater or at home?

Alaska?

Yep California

Louisiana?

Michigan

Ireland BTW mine is neither Mass or Maine- waaaaaaay off

Hi and welcome! I don't really have any specific advice other than keep trying. I have battled my weight my entire life, and sometimes I feel defeated but other times I've lost weight and felt great. I only know that you can't ever give up.

Well I'm already deaf in one ear, so losing my hearing terrifies me. I'd rather lose taste. WYR sit in a middle seat on a plane back by the bathroom, or sit in first class but next to a screaming baby?

To that I say "So what??" You can buy it on Amazon. Carry it when you hike and have it in a place you can grab it quickly. I talked to an ex- Navy Seal who said part of their training is being sprayed in the face with it, and he said the toughest of guys were rendered incapacitated- if only for a couple minutes which is…

I hope you love it! Let me know

Hi! Welcome!

When people stand side by side on an escalator so I can't pass. Come on, how lazy! Move your legs, people!

When someone tries to talk me into doing or trying something I really don't want to try.

I hear you on the yoga. I tried several types of yoga many times and I just get so bored. I love that in Pilates we are moving all the time. I love the reformer and I've grown to love the chair. I hate the Bosu because my balance isn't the greatest. I also love planking- which I know sounds crazy.

When people write "loose" instead of "lose", as in "I need to loose weight". UGH

when people chat during Pilates class and I can't focus on what the instructor is saying

When someone complains about the same thing for years and never does anything about it

Much better! :-)

Thank you! That's the spirit

I wouldn't search for something like this- it's supposed to be fun. That's why I posted it in Chit-Chat. It's not like I posted "How many calories should I be eating?" in the General Discussion forum which gets posted about every day.

Geez

Well I'm a mom so I say not ok--LOL Opening mail meant for a previous occupant to see if it's important or not

My doctor has told me that exercise is great in so many ways and essential to good health, but when it comes to losing weight it's 20% exercise, 80% calorie intake. Be careful about putting calories back in for exercise- people often overestimate how many calories to add back in. For me, I do Pilates an hour every day and…

Procrastinating. I move in a week, and still have so much to pack, but it's AWFUL and I'm exhausted. And my nails look like crap. Did I mention I'm tired?

Hi- I don't have hypothyroidism, but wanted to say hello. Welcome back!

Well, I started watching "Gloria Bell" on the plane but it was so boring I gave up about half way in. Has anyone seen it? Does anything ever happen in this movie??
