  • I guess I am not alone. So many things go on, when losing weight. It kind of throws you off at times. Lol
  • I will agree with you on that. I too have different body parts a tad different from each other. I just might be noticing it more in areas because of the fat loss going on. Thanks!
  • Thanks! You are right. I should at least try it out, when I have the opportunity at my local gym, since I have become curious about it lately. I appreciate all your insight.
  • Thanks! After reading many of the posts, I'm not really sure if a punching bag would be right for me at the moment, after thinking about it the past few days. Maybe it's not the best thing to jump into. I don't know. I am actually new to doing anykind of fitness. I have always been a big sedentary person, except for work…
  • Gotch ya! I do appreciate you sharing your thoughts about punching bag equiptment.
  • Wow! You sound pretty into fitness. I'm assuming because of all you do. I'm a newbie to fitness, so walking on a track or park trail is big for me. Lol
  • Thanks for all the info. It was very informitive and helpful. I'm not sure if my local rec center has punching bag type equiptment, but as soon as they reopen, I will for sure look into it. I would rather try it out before buying, as you suggested.
  • I though about one of those heavier inflatables for adults, since they are cheaper, but that may not be the best, it seems.
  • I didn't even think about looking at some tutorials. Good idea! When fitness equiptment stores open back up, after this virus, I may go pay a visit to see what they look like in person. Hopefully I will be able to find a store that has one set up as example for customers.
  • Thanks for the great feedback. I am definatly not experienced. I will have to think about this purchase.
  • I have noticed a lot of sagging in the butt. It's one place I have lost much fat and fast. I haven't been doing any toning, so maybe I need to. I started losing in August. The sagging and extra skin, that I hope I don't have by the end, worries me. I need to stop worrying prematurley I guess.
  • I agree about losing in certain places. As minor as the fingers are, I too have noticed fat loss. Can't wear most of my rings. I feel like I am playing musical rings. I have had to switch around the rings on which fingers I wear them. We only have 5 on one hand, so how much can you play around with that? Lol I didn't think…
  • Oh, wow. I just went back and read my reply to HufflepuffGr19 and I noticed my word DARN, looks like DAM. I just didn't want to come off looking like I said that specifically in my post. I probably sound stupid even mentioning it, but I felt the need to, after re-reading my reply. lol
  • Thank you for the kind words! Wow!. That is alot of sizes dropped. Congrats to you, as well! When I started my weight loss this past August, I was in a 24 pants, 22-24 tops. Now I am depending on make, in XL-XXL tops. Pants are what's driving me bonkers. I can't seem to budge a whole lot in pants because of this excess…
  • I haven't been on MFP in a few days, so I apologize for just seeing your reply. I hope to be in maintenance one day, as well. My stomach area has the absolute most unwanted fat, but I will say some has come off from my measurements, but it just isn't as noticable yet. Probably because my other areas, you can see bone…
  • So sorry I am just now seeing your reply. I haven't been on MFP for a few days, unfortanatly. I totally get what you are saying. I look into the mirror and I'm like, who is that person? lol
  • Thank you! What bugs me the most and can sometimes be frustrating, is that I am losing weight everywhere, but more in some places. I just wish my stomach area would shed as much and fast like the other areas. I feel so uneven, compared to before, where my fat was evenly distributed all over. My weight is coming off so…
  • Ok, I will take a look. Haven't tried any of the helpful ideas yet, but will do. Thanks! I think it only does this if you're using the MFP defaults. I think if you've adjusted or customized your nutrition goals, the auto adjustment doesn't happen. Also, OP, you don't have to manually select a new calorie goal. You just…
  • [quote="boldknee;c-444 I am at a 1200 calorie goal currently. Is that the lowest calories MPF will lower to, as you add your weight changes or did I read your post wrong? Maybe that's why it never changes anymore, when I log weight? When I first started with MFP, I had a calorie goal of 1290. I thought I remembered it…
  • I am so sorry. I just found your reply to my question I posted. I haven't looked into my post replies for days. I apologize. Thank you for the great help! I have so many foods, that the lists are getting way too long.
  • Oh my goodness! I am so sorry. I just found your reply to my dilemma. I am bad with checking for peoples replies. Sorry about that. Thank you for your feedback!
  • So, after I log in my new updated weight after maybe a 10-20 lb loss, I have to go into goals and change my daily calories myself? If so, how do I know what to change my new calorie number goal to? I know I have to eat less calories as I contiue to lose weight. Sorry, I just want to make sure I understand what you are…
  • Thanks for the information!
  • I'm on my lap top, but I will have to take another look and see if I am missing something. Thanks for the fast response!
  • I am so bad with taking the pictures on a regular basis. I will need to tomorrow. I am the type of body that the fat is spread everywhere evenly, (except belly), toes all the way up to forehead LOL. I probably am losing belly fat, but just don't see it by looking, since there is more of it in the one area. Thanks for the…
  • I appreciate your post! Sounds like you are doing great! Can't wait to start seeing the fat in the back going too. It probably is, but I sometimes can't tell, but then sometimes I feel like I see a slight difference.
  • Thanks! That is reasuring to know. I have been overweight in the belly area for a long time. Sometimes I think to myself, will I ever lose weight there? It has been a part of me for a long time. Maybe it will just be at a slower rate, then the rest. Congrats on your weight loss. That number is awesome. I am at 21 so far…
  • Thanks for the advice!
