Weird but I have been stuck around 130-135 for a few months too. I am also 5'2". SW: 148 CW: 131 GW: 125 I agree with dewsmom78, 110 lbs seems very thin. I am not big on the pictures but you can check out my profile pic if you want. I do a cardio/strength workout 3-4 times a week, run a couple miles a week, and play…

Before you start anything consult a Physical Therapist. Don't take advice from someone online because they don't know your contraindications or what you should be doing to help with the bursitis. You need a professional to diagnose and prescribe treatment.

Hahaha.. you people aren't really living. Black coffee Splenda (for coffee) Half and half (also for coffee) Bud light (essential for daily living)

This.. I agree. They have done studies that show a little coffee throughout the day helps with mental focus. Sorry I don't have a source for you.. I just remember reading about it. I do not believe it has affected my weight loss.

Go on my first ever spring break trip to somewhere with a beach. I have never seen the ocean!

I bought a women's New Balance N4 a couple months ago and I love it. The watch and chest strap are comfortable and I guess what you would call low profile. I didn' want anything bulky. Here are the specs from online. Purchased from Target for about $65-$70. •Watch works in conjunction with the included chest strap to…

I live in Topeka and we have snowflakes falling right now, too! Good Luck!

I have days where I don't get over 1200 calories with my exercise deficit. I don't feel hungry and I know I have had balanced, healthy meals all day. But then a couple days later I might eat over calories by the same amount or so. Look at it over a weeks time, not just day by day. Lately, I have been just listening to my…

Feel free to add me! We have similar goals I believe. I read NROL4W and loved it. I lift 3-4 times a week and cardio twice a week. 5'3" 25yo SW: 148 CW: 131 GW:125

That is truly horrifying...

August 3rd, 2013. So about 9 months away! I have 6 pounds to lose to be at my goal. Almost there!

Thanks everyone!

Thanks!

get busy... the last time i ended a relationship with someone i got motivated and stayed busy. i started working out and spending time with my friends that i had lost touch with during the relationship.

That's awesome! Your dress is adorable....

Slow your stroke down.. try to lengthen your body and your reach with your arms. Be sure to fully inhale/exhale while breathing. You will get tired very quickly taking shallow breaths every two strokes or so. Just find a comfortable rhythm and don't worry about speed. You can also improve your lung capacity with exercises.…

My dad hadn't seen me in a few months and he said I was glowing and looked beautiful. I have only lost 8 pounds but it sure affects your demeanour when you are living healthier. A backwards compliment the other day when I was helping a client. She was asking me about my experience with weight lifting and I told her I had…

one word.... man-pon

I do understand the term "skinny-fat"... I think the OP doesn't quite understand. I was just trying to shine a light on her original argument about her current routine of cardio only. Just trying to help..

Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. conducted a study in which 72 over weight individuals participated in an eight week exercise program. The participants were placed in two groups. The first group performed 30 minutes of endurance exercise on a stationary cycle. The second group performed only 15 minutes of exercise on the stationary…

Thanks! I know it isn't that significant compared to some people.. I only have about 15 pounds in total to lose. I am just happy I figured out the right way to do it and not the way I lost weight about 5 years ago. I thought you had to starve yourself and do non-stop cardio. Now I lift 2 times a week and am training 3-4…

Usually I am fine with my fair skin and red hair. But, I was made fun of a lot in high school and really even a lot to this day. Now I have a very negative attitude based off of what others have said to me. My friends love to tell jokes from the south park episode (that will haunt me the rest of my life) the stupid ginger,…

I have my diary CLOSED. I am here to record and track calories and hold myself accountable, not let someone snoop in my diary and let me know what I did right or wrong. If someone were to see my results down the road and then ask about my eating habits I might share or I might not. It's my business and I think it's pretty…

That's super sweet..

I don't know much about it, but I had an employee come into my office today (I am in wellness) to take her measurements to see her progress with this method. She has lost 27 pounds in about 3 months. Seems to be working for her.... I am on the internet to research this now.

New to this group.. someone suggested I join after an "I love beer" conversation I started. Last week was bad... I drank almost every evening out of stress and boredom pretty much. Usually it is only Thursday and Saturday evenings but got a little crazy last week. I am attempting to drink much less this week... not going…

WOOOOO! Thanks people! I just tried out a brick workout and I am so PUMPED! I biked 6 miles and then hopped on the treadmill. I ran a whole 5k!! First time I have ever completed it and first time I think I ever felt that runners high I have been waiting for. I feel AWESOME!! I think I will continue with this and swim…

Alright... so I tried Bud Select 55 for one night and had 5 of those. It was 275 calories and pretty easy to work into my calorie count. But, I was disappointed with the taste. It was watered down, but I should have expected that. I will keep trying... mind you I am from Kansas and my drinking nights usually consist of…
