I was 7 months pregnant when I happen to see my butt in the mirror And the image was scarred in my brain. 😱 So I hadn’t looked since. That was about 8 years ago. I’ve been using MFP for 3 months now, finally taking off that ‘baby weight’, and 2 months in, after about 8 lbs off, I noticed not just my clothes fitting…

Every day, after i pee before I shower and/or before exercise. And yes, even during my period. Every day, because I understand that weight loss (or maintaining weight for that matter) does not look like a straight line.

@Justin_7272 so much info, so greatful!

@jayemes i like your perspective, I should spend my time lifting since im already running enough, thank you! And @LKArgh thanks again!

@LKArgh oh, ok, I thought the exercises in between the runs were muscle building. So then how would you modify?

Hi @deannalfisher , Could you pls clarify what Z1, Z2 and Z3 are? Thanks,

That was very helpful @nossmf thanks!

Thanks @Cherimoose !

Related to the original question: which is better? (Please differentiate between for building muscle or for burning more calories, if there is a difference): Trying to fit as many reps into a set amount of time? E.g.: in 5 mins do as many reps as possible OR Trying to do a set number of reps as quickly as possible? E.g.:…

Thanks @Mavenly !

Holy Smokes! @myisha00 You look AMAZING!!!!! You’ve got the 6-pack, washboard abs!!!! I think we will always be able to pull loose skin off them with our hands or see it depending on posture. But guess what? You are now in my vision board: as in, this is achieveable, this can be done! Give yourself a round of applause!…

Im kinda new to MFP, what does CICO mean?

My senior year high school weight was a guide, but not a goal. I’m not a girl, I’m a woman. Thank G-d! And i’m also a mother in my late 30s. So I added 5 pounds to my HS weight and set it as a goal. Random? Yeah, you could say that. But achievable, as I weighed as much as an adult before pregnancy.

I’m kinda new, been doing this for about 2 months, and I log in after I eat - which helps in not thinking about it negatively. But I’ve learned a lot about my eating habits and portions by logging in, which I find motivating. I will probably hit my goal in less than 6 months, but I find that I like the community so I might…

I like to eat cereal for breakfast because i have to get going to work quickly. On the weekends I make granola. So it’s either that, or Cheerios (plain) or I mix both on the bowl.

I second the prunes and oatmeal ideas; work for me. But also, have you tried a probiotic? Just every other day or every 3 days, for 2 weeks could get you back on track - just my personal experience.

One word: NUTELLA

Hi, I don’t know about carb confusion, but I can tell you the numbers are a little off. If 1k=2.2lbs, then you are looking to lose between 8-13 pounds, not 15-20. The other thing to consider is that when you are talking about getting toned, then you are talking about getting muscles - and muscles weigh more than fat. So…

The thing to keep in mind with the scale and weight loss journey is that it’s NOT a straight line downwards. One day you might show half or full pound up from the day before, even if you kept to your recommended calorie intake, because of water retention, time of the month, digestive reasons, etc. The important thing to…
