OMG!!! Thank you for posting this!! I have been stuck between 165 and 174 for a year, and so frustrated because, while I work out daily and have body fat of around 24%, I am above all of the regular charts ideal weight range. This one said at 5'7", with my large frame I should weigh between 158 and 173.8. That makes me…

food can be an addiction. As such denial is part of the disease process. He will have to hit a bottom of some sort, feel enough pain to want to do something different. Good for you for trying, be there if and when he needs a hand!

just like with Zumba, this is very dependent on the unstructor and on how much you put into it! Go out there and shake what your mama gave ya, make the movements big and you will burn a bunch! Have fun!

2 a day is great! If you want to speed along the process, be sure to add some weight training as well. Good luck!

Nothing to be afraid of. Your body will do what it will do, and it will all be fine. Try to focus on how healthy and strong you feel in a fit body and let the vanity stuff go. Strong and healthy is sexy! I bet your guy will agree, with or withour extra skin!

Confidence is sexy, so if you love yourself, stretch marks and all, there are plenty of men who will not even notice the stretch marks! No need for the nunnery!

Clearly, the guy was not worth meeting. What a complete jerk!

Uggh, In the past week, I have gained and lost back 7 pounds of water weight. Frustrating, I am very sodium sensitive, not to mention carbs, so when I get off balance it takes a bit to get back. But, still 3 pounds down this month. Here is hoping that I can get 2 more off this week.

You are definately not alone, and most definately can do it! I have found Yoga to be very helpful for me, it helps me to stay centered, and less pulled into the SAD. Feel free to add me if you want!

drives me crazy! I am 5'7", 167 and wear anything from a 6 to a 10. I am very muscular, but a true 6, no way!! Consistency would be lovely!

WooHoo!! That is great news!!!

Droid! Love mine!!

welcome!! feel free to add me. I have been big into baking with pumpkin puree, and all things oatmeal related!

eat whole healthy foods, avoid all of that light, no fat, processed stuff! Eat whole eggs, more calories, and lots more nutrition too!

Ok, this past week was tough, but 1 I stil managed to get 1 pound closer to my goal! I'll take it! October 1......... 170 October 8......... 168 October 15....... 167 October 22....... October 29......

Because pilates is done barefot it requires foot strenght to blance etc. It might be as simple as that, using muscles that you aren't used to, especially if you did alot on relve (up on your toes) . Good luck, I hope it feels better!

I have been here for a bout a month too! Great site and ap! Good Luck!

Squats, deadlifts, walking weighted lunges, stair mill, yogs pilates, all should help.

not lame at all!! I would be happy to help you out! I have done30 day shred, it is a good workout, I am not currently doing it, but I work out daily at the gym. Feel free to add me! You can do this!

Does your gym offer any classes? These are a great way to get some cardio in and not be bored to tears on the treadmill. As far as a weight routine, there are some aps for smart phones that will give you suggestions for routines. Or if it is in the budget, you might want to hire a personal trainer for a few sessions, and…

Make a commitment to yourself to move your body for at least 30 minutes everyday, even if it is just taking a walk. You can subscribe to shape of fitness and get new workouts every month to try, complete with pictures. There are also several apps for your smart phone to give you routines to do. Whatever you do just move,…

2 down!:smile: October 1.........170 October 8......... 168 October 15....... October 22....... October 29......

please seek the support of a qualified mental health professional to get you through this. You may need some help to create a healthy relationship with food. Good Luck!

I was just about to say, think healthy fats. Almonds, avacodo,natural peanut butter.

Generally, this is it- Sunday- Hot Yoga 75 minutes Monday- pilates 60 minutes 45 minutes cardio Tuesday- weight training - leg day at least 60 minutes cardio (often Zumba) Wednesday- Power Yoga 60 minutes weight training biceps and triceps 30 minutes cardio Thursday - weight training back, shoulders and chest at least 60…

TeeHeee...and I agree!

My workout shoes are only for exercise.

ditto

I worked with a trainer 2-3 times per week, for a year. I loved having a trainer. My trainer knew that I love a challenge, and would create stuff, for me to try. it was great! That being said, not every trainer is for everyone, do your research and good luck!

LOL, I do yoga, and while I have been lucky enough not to experience one personally, I have been unlucky enough to be near some yoga farters!! LOL Oh, and I also once had the seat of the bike drop on me in the middle of spin class!
