I get tingly when I lose weight--I'm not sure if it's lactic acid, or what. I do get the itchy stuff from a reaction to the histamines in my sweat at times, and I take Zyrtec for that--it's related to my propensity to get hives--it happens on my stomach and insides of my elbows and face. If I take Zyrtec though, it doesn't…

Yep, I'm now in a J--and I use size DD champion sports bras--with another sports bra on the outside. Works like a charm. Also be sure to keep your core strong and you'll avoid back issues from their weight.

Let it go. You can do a nice long work out though. Log everything you ate and drank, then if you want, do a nice long work out. You can make up for all those calories if you want by working out.

Wow, great job!!! You can really tell a difference!!!:drinker: (I don't know how to resize manually--maybe try emailing them, and it might give you an option to send smaller size pics, then download those back to your desktop and use them that way? You could also try cropping just the outside off each, which would…

I make sure to log in every day--as much as I can. When I feel myself start to veer off course, jumping onto MFP really helps. Lots of support here. Also, logging everything I eat--even the binges--and using the notes section in my diary. I think it helps me to analyze why I eat, and how I feel after I eat. I try to have a…

Congrats to you!!! Love it when that happens! Most that's ever happened for me was 2 lbs. Hooray! Keep up the good work!:flowerforyou:

Yes. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have the temptation all day. I thought it would be impossible to keep my eating under control--still have struggles, but what has helped me is a schedule. I make rules for myself--no lunch until after I've worked out. When I feel the munchies coming on I make myself walk…

I'm usually a low-carb-ish type person these days, though I do graze a bit on bits of fruit I feed my son (10mos.), which ends up being 1/5th of a banana or 3 blueberries. I'll also usually have 1 slice of whole grain bread and/or a couple whole grain crackers in a day, but almost never more than that. I am totally with…

Maybe drink some coffee & lots of water an hour or so before going out to run? I've definitely had things start moving when I run. Not sure about your route, but when that happens to me if I'm out, I sneak into a coffee shop or something. (Usually it comes out quickly enough I don't have to worry about leaving much…

I'm not advertizing it, but if someone asks I tell. I do try to spread the word about MFP though. I was not doing so well at losing weight before finding this site.

I love love love almond milk! It's 40 calories versus 90 for skim milk. Calcium is similar, I think. Protein is not nearly as much, but I eat tons of protein as it is. Almond milk can be used as a substitute for milk to blend with eggs for a very low-cal omelet, or as creamer in coffee. The flavor is great, and almonds are…

Way to go!!! You look fantastic! And most importantly happy! Keep up the good work!!!

^^green beans are very low starch, corn high starch. Grapes and carrots both have sugar--grapes have a higher glycemic index, as does corn. Depends on what veggies and fruits you eat, and what your overall diet plan is. If you do low carb or low glycemic index diets, then not tracking some things might be more doable than…

My son is 10 months old and is eating solids regularly. I add 300 calories--there's an option for breastfeeding 6-12 months, so I just do that. I sort of guess I put out about 50 calories each feeding and I feed about 6 times per day. Maybe you could work it out like that? If you pump it's easier to tell, but I think at…

I saw another post about quitting smoking--apparently a doctor can prescribe some sort of patch or gum to help with the cravings. Congrats to you for quitting! :drinker: So much better for workouts.

Great. Now I've got that in my head.:noway: Ha ha ha! Used to LOVE that place! Fortunately I don't live near one--and most buffets in NYC charge by the pound anyway. King crab with lots of butter and lemon and a little salt. Scallops, fried chicken, mint chocolate chip ice cream, biscuits and gravy, grits with way too much…

STICK WITH IT!!!!! I've had that happen several weeks in a row. Do not let it get you down. Are you using a measuring tape??? That's what kept me motivated. I gained 4 lbs. but was down 3.5 inches on my waist last month. Additionally, 30 days is still a short period of time. Try to keep the big picture in mind. You're down…

Good morning! Love your posts!!!:love: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :bigsmile:

^^That's a good idea. I usually just log after I eat, making sure to measure & write it down first. I might have to try that.

I would rather have my clothes thrown on the floor than hung the wrong direction in the closet.:noway: All items must face to the right.:love: :love: :love: Additionally, I'm a HUGE spelling nerd.:huh: This is an extremely irritating thing in our current day of auto-spell and text-typing, not to mention that so many people…

First of all, I'm so sorry you got hives. I had them chronically 24 hours a day, for 6 LONG months. THE worst time of my life. I was on prednisone shots for about a month and 1/2. I got relief, and I had been so miserable I didn't care what I weighed--just wanted the itching and sleeplessness to stop. I hope yours go away…

My hubby notices & says I'm looking great and really slimming down. I'm losing baby weight, so he was used to me being smaller before I got pregnant. He came from a family that yo-yo's anyway, so I think he's used to being supportive. :flowerforyou:

Way to go!!! You look great! Keep up the good work!

You're doing fantastic!!! Keep up the good work! You just inspired me to go out walking again. Been feeling a bit low on motivation since I started having low back pains last week. Way to go!!!

Oh Lordy! I have been through the wringer with birth control. Pills always make me gain weight--no matter how "low" they say the hormones are. I typically have gained 10-15 lbs in a month, get acne when I normally have very clear skin, not to mention other symptoms that leave me completely out of the mood for anything but…

I'm in. I'm scared, but I'm in. That means I'll have to be down to 149 from the 164 I am now. I plan to start running regularly again, so I think this is possible and healthy. Let's do this!!!

I had the Android and was sooo happy when it died this last time (I had to replace it twice in a year). I upgraded to IPhone 4 and love it. I suggest going to a store to check them out to see what you like better. Apps work so much better with iPhones, though I was able to do a good bit with the Android. The Android was…

I look up breastfeeding under foods and add it to my snacks or breakfast every day. My son is 10 months old and on both solids and breast milk--I breast feed him about 6 times a day. I choose the breastfeeding 6-12 months, which automatically gives me 300 extra calories. I think 500 seems good for you. One way to tell is…

I've seen people on MFP have great success with the zig zag approach. Look it up on line. Basically you eat a few hundred more calories for a couple days, then back down to 1,200 for a couple days or something like that. Also change up your workout. Your body gets used to operating on the same calories, and additionally…

Way to go!!! I love it when that happens. I went out of town for a whole week, eating bad stuff, but keeping some sense of portion control and lots of walking. Got back & I'd lost another 1/2 inch from my waist! Yay tape measure! Congrats on fitting in your old jeans!
