When I fist started practicing yoga, I was so concerned with covering the body that I hated, that while in a standing split I trie to adjust my shirt and fell over, loudly! I have also dropped my towel and got it stuck in the treadmill. Good times! I love this stuff, it is embarrassing when it happens but makes for a good…

take pieces of both and build a routine that works for you!

Height: 5'7" Weight: 170 Age: 36 MFP calculates me to eat 1200 daily to loose 2 lbs per week. I exercise a lot. 6 days per week, burning around 700 clories daily on cardion, I also lift weights 3 times per week. So, I eat most of my exercise calories back, or I stop loosing. I aim for around 1700 daily. You might need to…

welcome! Walking, funning, dancing, exercise videos, and some wieghts are all things that you can do at home. Welcome! Fell free to add me!

I love this stuff, I call it cowboy caviar!!

ok, I am in too! Never done this before and have never exposed my actual numbers so publically. Here goes!...Sheesh, I am feeling vulnerable! October 1.........170 October 8........... October 15......... October 22........ October 29.....

I am so sorry that you are in a rough spot. It is hard when more than one thing is not great (or even a bit good). You are doing great with your weight loss, and don't let anyone take that from you!

Protien is the building block of muscle, and muscle is what we all want. So, at the minimum try to meat your goal. A protein shake is a great way to do that. I have one everyday after I work out. Get a good quality, low cal, low sugar one. I like Max, and Power Max. :0)

Woohoo!! That is great news!! Strut your stuff!

Personally, I like the smith machine. I feel like I can safely use more weight and have my feet in a better position as well. I don't need a partner. There will always be the "hardcore, nothing is as good as barbell" folks. I say that everything has it's advantages. I find that when it comes to lifting, there is always…

First off, congrats for knowing yourself well enough to know this. It is half the battle. Secondly, experiment with other things that might make you feel better. This might sound crazy but have an emergency plan. Call someone that you can trust before you turn to bingeing. Emotional eating is tough to break, but it can be…

deadlifts to tone the hamstrings and bum.

Welcome!! Have you tried Yoga, it is very restorative, and a great way to build strength and flexibility for someone with arthritus!! Good Luck on your journey!

As far as exercise goes, there are a lot of great options. Zumba is fun, and can be a great workout, with the right instructor. Fitness viseos are also a good choice. The Firm series has some goof stuff. Just make sure you schedule time to sweat more days than not! You CAN do it!!!

Maybe try making some tabouli. It tastes better the longer it sits in the fridge and with some tweaks from week to week, you can get some variety! Here is a link to a simple quinoa tabouli. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/quinoa-tabbouleh/detail.aspx

It sounds like you have activated that part of the brain that causes cravings of all kinds, The adiction center. You will get passed this, try and see what foods trigger a pig out. For me there are certain sweets that send me into an all out glutenous chow of sugar, while others I can have a bit and be fine. Take a deep…

Lots of us have food issues. I am with you! Food is a source of comfort and pleasure for me, and I love my sweets. The all or nothing method does not work well for me, as I tend to binge if I do this. What I have found does work, is planning, and planning my treats as well. Portion control and education, some things i will…

excess calories turn to fat, period, it doesn't matter the source. Sugar is problematic because high blood sugar levels are bad for lots of your bodies systems, tend to cause a rush of insulin (which then makes you hungry), makes you retain water and generally doesn't give you good energy. Sugars from whole fruits and…

I also use sport active tide with febreeze. I also find that cotton, will tend to get that way faster than, performance type materials.

try eating at your recomended calories, rather than below them. You might need more fuel to keep your metabolism humming along. It will come, just don't give up!

eat super clean, watch your sodium intake, and do not look for such numbers!! Slow and steady wins the weight loss race. Just focus on practicing good habits, and celebrate this as a gift to yourself!

feel free to add me if you want! Congrats on your success!! I am sure it feels great!! I am looking to loose about 20 lbs too, (and then reevaluate once I hit that goal!)

Well said!! I have to eat back my exercise calories or I stop loosing, but I exercise intensely, and my net claories would be like 700 calories if I didn't. The beauty of tracking your habits is that you get to figure you our, what works for you, and what doesn't!

it is not the end of the world, but just try to make better choices the next day. Under nourishment, like eating your days calories in m&ms, will lead to over eating eventually, because your body will be hungry trying to get it's needs met. Make sense. So try to eat clean most of the time, and when you have an off day,…

Do not worry about what is average! Focus on being the best you that you can be!! I used to get (and still sometimes do), so caught up in numbers, I would drive myself nuts :frown: ! You are exactly the same girl you were before you measured you neck, waist and hips, so nothing has changed. Try to think of them as simply a…

don't sweat it! People have different boundaries. Maybe he has insecure girlfriends, and is afraid you will scare them off. Don't let it bug you!

always willing to be a support! Add me if you want! :smile:

First off, be kind to yourself! You will do better if you eliminate all the negative self talk about your appearance ( I am making an assumption about this, but most of us are not kind to ourselves when we feel heavy). Make time for you, remember that whatever things time that you take to improve yourself is good for your…

Sometimes, you need to change up your exercise routine. Your body gets used to what you are doing and gets more efficient (you burn fewer calories). Every 4- 6 weeks you need to change your workout routine for maximum benefits. Make sure you are getting adequate rest too. Lift weights, consider adding some HIgh Intensity…

Welcome! I am new here too! I used a different similar sight (not free!) and found it so helpful. This is so user friendly and really helps to keep me on track. I love the ap for my phone, scanning the food that I am eating makes entries super easy. First bit of advice log every thing that you put into your mouth, and get…
