I just go for a nice easy walk. And if you aren't flowing to heavily, I go for a swim. The boyancey feel SOO good on my aching back and cramping stomach. It totally relieves the pressure. I often stay in the water until i am more than pruney. Also, a good hot steam room helps me. My gym has a eucalyptus sauna...its amazing!

A friends mom told me that "If you keep eating like that you will become as big as a house!". I gained a bunch of weight since then, but the picture that threw me into my diet , i looked as big as a house...sooo....i keep that in mind when I can't stop eating!! It makes me choose healthier optins.

I use Whole Wheat English muffins for the dough. Then just use normal pizza sauce (found in the "pasta sauce isle" and turkey pepperoni or Canadian bacon with low fat shredded cheese! Good luck!

Hit up the consignment shops friend! Great deals on usually gently used clothing and they usually laid out way better than thrift shops. Also, TONS of fall clearances right now. Hit up the clearnace rack and see if there are any store coupons in the adds. My hubby and I just got 2 button up shirts for him and 3 t shirts…

Great Job! Very inspiring to me as we started out at the same weight. I was 227-230...I have hit a serious plataeu right now. By the end of last year I had lost 35 pounds. I have gained 5 of those back, and I am really struggling to get back on track. You look great though! Keep it up!

do not work out with the flu...except short walks for fresh air...no hard stuff

I take Pamprin pretty much every day while on my period. It has an ingredient that helps to she water, and I avoid salt like the plague. Rarely do I "gain" weight while TOM (time of the month) is here........still....it is pretty typical to gain 1-3 pounds of water weight. I just don't weigh myself that week. I skip it…

I have the same problem with my husband. I say you need to get that boy some High calorie healthy snacks in during the day, and get him to eat More often. When my husband eats regularly, he can lose 3-4 pounds in a week with out even exercising because his job is a high activity type job. For example: One medium apple by…

I think that you really need to focus on giving yourself time rather than thing "fast". Begin to focus on figuring out your metabolism, and eating correct for your body. Then begin to add in some exercise. Hang in there, and know that you CAN do this! Good luck!

Start couponing for all of your other basics (TP, paper towels, toothpaste, floss, laundry detergent, dish soap) that way when you want to buy the fruits, you will have money. Go to this website: www.happymoneysaver.com, or frugalchicliving.org. They have links that teach you about couponing. ALSO, buy frozen fruits and…

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I KNOW RIGHT!!! He can be shiny on his Abs all he wants though!!! ROFL!!!!

:blushing: David Henry from Wizards of Waverly Place!!!! LOL! I am 25...and i watch that show religiously! lol! My hubby thinks i like it because the relationship between the brother and sister are so good, and i like happy shows.... secretely, it is because I totally want to be a cradle robber! (even though he reallly is…

Hey Girl, So here is the thing, I started at 230, and only lost 5 pounds in the first 4 weeks. About 1 pound a week. Then as things got rolling and I was eating properly, exercising properly, i would sometimes lose 3 pounds in a week! It is possible, and you can for sure do this! Don't get discouraged if you dont see big…

January 23rd 2010: My birthday. My brother in law took this picture of me that was HORRIBLE. He posted it on Facebook, and I was MORTIFIED. I was weighing in at 230 on my 24th birthday. I started to try to eat healthier, got a gym member ship in march and began the journey. It all clicked into place finally about july.…

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE WII ZUMBA! Too bad we don't live in teh same area, we could rock it out together! I haven't been eating my work out calories, and i am wondering if it is putting a hicup in my weight loss now. I seemed to be losing 1 lb to 2 lb's a week since july, which got me down 38 pounds. Then the holidays rolled…

5'2" and Feeling your pain!!! I lost 38 pounds, gained back 3 and the jeans are feeling tight! ugh! it is SUCH a struggle! If I was 3-4 inches taller and weighed what I weigh it wouldn't look half as bad, i am convinced!!! I can't wait to be down to 150! That was what i weighed my freshman year of High school, and I felt…

only true way to know is to get a heart rate monitor....sorry friend that is a tough one~

I don't actually think you should drop carbs, i think you need to make sure they are balanced. As a woman, most carbs really are our enemy, except for first thing in our day. (Morning and Lunch). Eating the right carbs (clean and unrefined) can actually help you boost weight loss. Avoid eating too many carbs in the…

Monistat makes this antichaffing stuff. Comes in a little purple tube. You can find it over in the "feminine Washes" section next to the Eve brand stuff, or by the condoms.

I ate 350 calories. try to eat at least 1/4 of your daily calories in the morning, to get you boosted. Also, try to eat any carbs during breakfast and lunch and avoid them for dinner. Eating more in the early parts of your day will keep you from making late night snack choices which are killer on your eating healthy diet.…

Hey girl, I know what you are going through! My advice to you is BE PREPARED! So, if you cave in to chocolate, get some of those dove squares of dark chocoalte and stick them in your freezer. Because they are frozen, they take a while to melt in your mouth, and you won't be chomping down on them because it will hurt your…

Ordering from Victorias secret is really easy and they really do fit well.

Try going to Old Navy for Work out Clothes. They don't last quite as long, but you can buy more pairs for your money

Honestly, i use my wii fit. It seems pretty accurate, as long as you keep the batteries fresh!

It is because you have tricked your metabolism on your cheat day. If you are like most of us on here, you are restricting your calories, and occasionally your body will go into a starvation mode. The cheat day reminds your body that you aren't starving it, and the rest day allows your muscles to heal and shed off any water…

I double this vote! pencil skirts are adorable and sexy! show off that new body! i cant wait to watch the recording and be like...THATS A FELLOW MFP person!! yes!

I have lost an average 2 year old, almos the amount of cheese that americans eat per person in a year (btw..that is gross, i am rethinking my cheese habits)
