I am glad I am not the only one that can't wrap my head around this. I have lost almost 60lbs and I still think there is just something wrong with the scale, or that companies are just making clothes bigger. I had to try on a small shirt at express, when just over a year ago I couldn't even fit in their clothes. Also…

I love my fitbit, I just have the zip thought. I think the Charge HR looks awesome! The fact that it is getting your HR really helps more accurately calculate you burn (I would imagine). Yes activity trackers are not an exact science, but they do improve accountability and motivation. I also love that fitbit has challenges…

That's awesome! Great victory!

I am actually supplementing w/ BCAAs (6g before and after workouts) and trying to keep my protein intake up, w/ a protein shake after workouts as well. I have different running routines 3x a week while i train for my first 1/2 marathon, and I strength train 3x a week. One day of active rest. I am in a wedding in Sept and I…

I a former Vermilion-ite! Moved to North Ridgeville about a year and a half ago. Good luck to you!

I use the Zip and my ft4 (now FT80), just when you log your workout w/ your FT7 on MFP be sure to enter the time and length and I am pretty sure it will automatically adjust for that time period so you don't overlap.

So he sabotages you and says nasty things to you, being entirely UNsupportive and destructive. I would lose about 130lbs and it can keep it's winter coat! He is a mooch and a bully among other things.

yes! This quote really bothers me. Borges says, "it's unfair to show off your body" because it can make other people feel bad. Maybe you should stop acting like a victim, "I feel bad because that person is fit"? what? Why not be motivated? I just don't understand these policy's, after getting threatened for doing dead…

squats and lunges, your booty and hamstrings are some of the only places you can "spot tone". They are also some of the biggest muscle groups in your body, the more you build them the higher you will boost your metabolism. I suggest getting a dumbell set to help add a little weight to your squats and lunges. Add jump…

I have that problem often. Especially now that I am eating better, the volume is crazy. I just live with it now, I eat as much as I do, and feel no guilt for falling under. I used to beat myself up about it, but I am not tired, or lagging at all, I just listen to my body, if i need more fuel I eat more. This may be totally…

Love this so much! Right on! I would say between 3 kids and working on changing my body most of my time is spent sweaty, frumpy or both. My uniform is yoga pants and a hoodie. I have a before and after pic somewhere, and it was me getting ready for work. The only 2 or 3 days a week I put on makeup. I love makeup, it's "my…

we have a pretty decent set up, smith machine, dumbells and barbells so hopefully that is enough to get me going. Thank you so much everyone! I can't wait to get reading!

Just ordered it on amazon! I am excited, I had a $10 dollar credit so I splurged on one day shipping, i am sure they will muck it up and it wont get here until monday, just like they always do.
-
they didn't have it in store and it is like 8 bucks more expensive if you do buy it in store. I have the kindle and nook app so I think I will just get it that way.

wow. There are so many levels of exercise, and it's not all painful. Start walking, you eventually may want to run. Use hand weights, eventually you may want to lift. You have to MOVE your body to take care of it! I can't imagine not WANTING to feel stronger, lighter or healthier.

I totally understand your frustration, I have been there, and I am sure I will be there again. It's all how you handle it. Getting depressed and feeling hopeless is not uncommon, but it is not helpful, and will often effect your results. I have found that focusing on something other than losing weight really helps me. The…

You can do it! I have been on MFP for a long time, however I didn't ever commit to using it until this past month. I always bounced back and forth between this and Spark people, using both just gets to be too much, so I picked MFP to track everything, I still use spark people for information and articles. I love how…

This is my relationship. My husband is a Triathlete, he wasn't always, he was always a smaller guy and could just decide to do things, he just started running one day, did a 5k a week later, I on the other hand struggle. He can eat whatever he wants, whenever he wants, but he chooses to support me, and not make things more…

You have kicked so much butt! You are an inspiration. thank you so much for sharing this!

I use a lot of those tricks. First off it is normal to want those foods. I tend to not keep them in the house, I would sit down and talk to my husband about your goals for yourself and your family. I am lucky that for the most part my husband eats pretty healthy, he does not have a sweet tooth so he doesn't bring my…

Welcome! This is a great place to come! I have found helping others stay motivated is also motivating for me, so community is a great thing. The accountability is also a great tool! Good luck in your journey!

I had the fitbit ultra and used it until it didn't work anymore (aka my husband washed it a few times lol) I traded down for the Zip and I love it. It doesn't track stairs or sleep like my last one, but it tracks my activity level very effectivly. When I suspect something is up with my sleep I use an app on my phone to…
