Attleboro , MA :smile:

I'm in the same boat as well! I have really been disgusted with myself ....I came back on a few months ago really motivated to lose the weight I gained was good for a few weeks lost 8 lbs....but now I have gained least 5 of that back within these last couple of weeks by not tracking. Feel free to add me...I def need to…

Thanks everyone. I have tried talking to him about it but he just gets upset with me, so I've given up with that lol. He is always stressed out at work so maybe it is due to that. I guess it just makes me feel more so insecure but I think that is actually what is pushing me towards fitness and health goals....just hope…

You can add me :-) I also am looking to lose 100lbs! I'm from Mass.

I'm using the Leslie Sansone walk it off in 30 day program. They have 3 DVDs the first 2 days the dvds focused on Burning .....then yesterday I did the firming video which was lunges and squats with dumbbell's in each hand. It was a good work out. Not all just walking like I thought :-) but I definitely am loving it! every…

[/quote] Yup. For future reference, when you start a new workout routine, ramp it up over a period of a week or two. No extra health benefit for suffering. A little bit of DOMS is OK and normal. A lot just gets in the way of making progress. Hang in there, work out a little slower for the next few days. Next week will be…

Thanks , I'll check it out!

[/quote] You are welcome Jess - If you are just starting out squatting keep it up and gradually add weight & reps. What program are you using? sets/reps/ weight? How often? Squats should be the #1 exercise in a program - Eastcoast Jim [/quote] I'm using the Leslie Sansone walk it off in 30 day program. They have 3 DVDs the…

Thanks Jim!

Thanks Pondee! Lucky for me today says to just do a 2 mile walk....hopefully the DVD program I'm on makes it a light walk lol

this is a new program , so I am pretty sure it's because I am not use to it yet. I just know in the past I've had the same thing happen with a personal trainer and I didn't work out for a week straight because the pain was so bad. I just hate to do all that hard work then fall off the work out plan because of pain from the…

Thanks for advice! I'll look that up!

Thanks Cristal! I hope your pain gets better as well ! I'm hoping that the more often I do these the stronger my legs will get and there will be less pain...but I see a lot of people who have done leg work outs faithfully and still feel the pain boo :-(

it is soreness...like when I bend down my thighs feel tight and sore. Getting up after sitting for awhile at my desk is brutal. Sitting down on a chair or a toilet for that matter is pretty intense soreness....My thighs and calves seem to be the only soreness/ ache that I have. No real sharp pain.

Thank you for the pictures and story! You are an inspiration! I am now at my heaviest I have ever been (260lbs) for 5'4'' I feel depressed about how I let myself get to that point of feeling unhealthy and not fit and starting to have the aches and out of breath at times. Seeing that you did this yourself makes me feel like…

I'm glad to hear I am not alone on gaining weight after I met my now husband it has been frustrating but it is true we did go out to eat a lot at first then the stress of the wedding planning didn't help. I never thought to even add my drinks to MFP I will start today! That will be tough during football season and holidays…

Thanks everyone all your tips are helping me out :-) bunches!

Thanks everyone!

I'm totally okay with fruits :-) I love fruit more then anything! However my boss who is doing a very very low carb diet tends to pick on me when I saw I am logging what I eat on here and she see's me come in with a bowl of strawberries or an apple...She states if I keeping eating a bunch of fruits with no veggies or…

that clip reminds me of how I feel when I eat salads

thanks everyone! :)

If I eat a salad it has to be iceburg lettuce... any of the weird lettuce just is blah and I can't get the picture of eating leaves out of my head which is strange I know lol If I eat salads with iceburg lettuce in it I can't do it every day....it's got to be a once in awhile type of thing for sure. Don't get my wrong , I…

Anyone can add me :wink:

I had told my doctor my husband and I were going to be trying in October. I know I have a lot to lose, I gained a lot getting comfy with him ( no excuses though! ) I was wondering how tracking while being pregnant works to be honest. I know even though I may get pregnant being as large as I am I should and can still…

Yay for getting ready for baby # 2 Elsie :-)

It's tough! But you can do it :-) I'm sure it is a lot harder with having 3 little ones even more so!

Thank you everyone. Thanks Seska I think I kept setting myself up for failure for a little while because I was trying to lose weight for my wedding which was March 7th so I was very strict , now I shouldn't put myself in a time zone to lose. Maybe that will help....

I've been on here since 2011, I did manage to get from 230 to 172 within a few years.However, I did get into a comfortable relationship with my now husband and I've been struggling now for a few years and haven't been faithful to my diet , I admit this! However I keep trying to count calories and use this site again and…

Oh my gosh!! That is the same dress I ordered! so pretty!! I ordered my dress a size smaller then what I was....thinking I would lose weight the woman at the bridal shop said I should order it at least a size smaller....so they wouldn't have to take it in so much (bc I was planning on sticking with diet/workouts well with…
