you should be measuring both waist AND abdomen -- waist is the narrowest part, abdomen is basically the fattest part or right across your belly button. Yes my belly fat does hang down that far. I had twins and my belly stretched a lot, although the fat the replaced the babies was my fault. Before I started this lifestyle…

I just use the generic non dairy creamer. 1 tbs with 1 pkg of truvia.

To drop to a size XL 7 To drop to a size 16 pants 8. To get off my Heart Meds 9. To jog a 5k 10 To have my husband join me in losing weight for…

I have been heavy a long time, over 13 years. I yoyo loose a little gain it back and as you say yes I never liked admiting that i was on a diet. But this time I have made the commitment and I feel great about it. I am not on a diet this time, I am making a lifestyle change. I am not longer living to eat, I am eating to…

I agree. A lot of the people I see mainly just need to maintain. They look awesome!

Let me say this for me, I weigh myself every morning. in just underwear. i get up go to the bathroom #1 then hit the scale. I then put a sports bra on nothing else do some strength excersizes such as crunches leg lifts push ups go directly and weigh myself I am now two pounds heavier. I dunno how that is possible. Which…

I am sorry that is aweful! For that reason (not that it's right) I walk after dark and stay close to my house. I am so self conscience about it that when I began jogging a little bit I always watch out for people in their driveways garages in case they can see me. If a car starts to come i immediatly start walking. It's…

Do you guys wear your HRM all day everyday or just when you are doing a workout? is it designed to be worn 24/7? or just during workout

Thank you all for your comments I will be looking on ebay and amazon and local stores for sales. Hope to get one in the next few weeks. If not i'll put it on my xmas list for hubby. Always welcoming more advice. thx

I feel the exact same way. I too am not a friend hoarder. I started over 35 days ago and have logged in each and every day. :) I fit all your criteria. hope you add me. :) maybe you can help me get over my plateau I feel I am on.

I was on phentermine for 2 months it did help but as soon as I stopped taking it. (wasn't covered by insurance so it was out of pocket and I didn't have the $ to refill for a while after I ran out) I was so hungry I felt like I was starving. You know that saying "she's like an empty pit? that was me and I litteraly felt…

I have this problem when I was eating as I wanted to before MFP I would go once a day which was nice. Now that I am eating more healthy I am lucky to go every 3 or 4 days. My dr knows and said to add fiber which I do. I usually drink crystal light as my water but I am going to try straight water. I wanted to bump this post…

Thanks for replying but my problem isn't with excersize equipment as I don't have any and I don't go to they gym. I simply fast walk/ jog slow on the road. Even road no hills just suburban housing area. Only my right foot goes numb. Thanks sorry I didn't clarify.

sorry to bring up an old subject but I was trying to see if any of you found out any new info on the foot going numb? My right foot goes numb when I walk after about 15 to 20 mins if i slow down walking the numbness subsides if I stop walking it goes away. it's only my right foot.

I have tried the resticting of carbs and I can not maintain. I crave anything I am keeping out of my diet. So this time around I am letting myself have ANYTHING I want in moderation. I watch my calories and make sure I am well under my daily with excersize. I walk at least 5 times a week usually daily tho I do strength in…

Hmmm I have been on for about 17 days. My starting weight was 254 MFP starting weight was 250 and current weight is 243.5 I put in I wanted to lose 1 lb a week. which more would be great but I was setting my goals low. It was me eating 1800 calories plus whatever excersize I do. At the end of the day I have at least 700…

This is a great post! I love it. I did something similar with my aunt a few years back and I think we both went on about stuff we hated for over half an hour lol. I think it's great if you are overwieght and love your body! I know for me I long for my entire life to be thin and active and such so losing wieght and getting…
