This sums up most of the responses here. :D Perhaps I'll try some good coffee black and see if I can hang with it.

I used to feel that way. But my gym is wonderful. Everyone is so welcoming. Why do you feel embarrassed? Is it because you're new to the gym, out of shape, etc? I felt awful at first because I couldn't do all the exercises in my class and these really fit people were like bunny rabbits jumping up and down. But I stuck with…

I think I'm going to take baby steps on moving towards cream and no sugar. I put a shameful amount of cream and sugar in my coffee. 2.5 tbs cream and a couple big spoons of sugar. Tomorrows coffee I'm going to do one spoon and 1 tbs cream and just deal with it. Thanks for all the responses. : ) :#

have just finished week 3 and have only lost 2 pounds : ( but i didn't consistently follow the work out calendar either or eat very well so that is purely my fault. With that disclaimer out of the way I will say I LOVE IT!! Lots of fun, good music, and I'm totally drenched in sweat afterwards. This past few days I've…

I think it's easier to do the new to class option the first time.

I love Star Wars, snort when I laugh, play video games when I can, watch Dr. Who, obsessed with Game of Thrones, and wear glasses.

I am in the same boat. Plateau for a couple months now. Eat about 1500 cals a day. Work out 4 days per week intensely. blah. I crack out of it soon.

YES!! My grandmother, whom lives with us, especially always says "Oh you and your diet stuff. I've never had to measure my food" She's naturally thin. I'm a curvy and well padded! When we are at the grocery store and I buy chicken breast or turkey bacon she says "ew diet food" It makes me feel bad for some reason. Like I'm…

Luckily for me my gym is a few blocks away and I have 2 in diapers and they have childcare. I'm a stay at home mom so the gym is my only child free time that I NEED so desperately sometimes. I have friends who are regulars at my gym and I love how strong I'm getting, my stamina is improving, my body is improving, and I can…

Hey I'm with you!!! My husband and teenage son are gamers. They leave messes all around them. I also have 2 in diapers. The gym is a beautiful escape. ha ha.

I've been drinking shakeology for a month now and I've been nursing my 7 month old daughter. I never thought about it being unsafe. I feel fine and haven't had any problems. I don't see how it could hurt baby considering how healthy it is.

I'm in too! SW: 171.5 Week 1 (9/25)- 171.5 I joined today so same as start weight. : ) Week 2 (10/2)- Week 3 (10/9)- Week 4 (10/16)- Week 5 (10/23)- Week 6 (10/30)- Week 7 (11/6)- Week 8 (11/13)- Week 9 (11/20)- Week 10 (11/27)- Week 11 (12/4)- Week 12 (12/11)- Week 13 (12/18)- Week 14 (12/25)- Goal weight- 160 NWG (non…

I did WW plus and I'm 5'3" and at the time 186 pounds and it said for me to eat 24 points per day. I have to joint the bandwagon here though and say that I like MFP better since it's free and has a bigger food data base and is FREE. : )

This is a bad one. But instead of saying "retard" my kid and my husband say "Ruh-tard" like you hear in the movie "The Hangover" And yes I think it's bad to call anyone retarded.

ha ha. I used to say that all the time until my father corrected me and I felt so foolish.

I don't see it as being rude. Maybe she was trying to be funny and it just doesn't come off as too funny.

My family does pretty good at getting along, but we don't do stuff together unless it's a holiday. Makes me sad. I have kids who's grandpa won't do anything with them and their Aunt is too buys being a social butterfly and hitting they bars than to take time to see us. My in-laws are amazing and do tons of good stuff…

YEAH I agree. I'm "obese" and when i look in the mirror I see a hot slightly overweight chick who exercises a lot and is getting healthier week by week.

I agree though that 1250 seems low for a man. hmmm...wierd.

Don't eat back your exercise calories. I find that if I don't eat back exercise calories I'm good. Also I'm convinced that when I input my cardio it says I burn more than I truly did. I want to get a HRM someday to know accurately how much I've burned. : ) Also if you're doing weights you could be burning fat/ gaining…

My favorites have been kickboxing, zumba, and a muscle toning class, but today I tried R.I.P.P.E.D and it's AWESOME! I was dripping with sweat and it's a lot of fun. Good burn!

I want to get one too. Sometimes when i enter my exercises I think "there's no way I burned that much"

WOW!! you look amazing.

I realized after I made it that the coconut oil had 14 g of fat! yikes. lol. Think I'll skip it next time. Or put in a tsp instead of a Tbsp.

be careful that you don't develop a body image disorder. It's when you start to pick on the bad instead of recognizing the good. It's so easy as women to always see ourselves as not good enough instead of being great and always improving.

Damn I love love love lean cuisines! They are so yummy and easy and prevent me from overeating. Plus they are cheap at the commissary.

Hey I'm a 31 year old mommy of 3 with about 50 pounds to lose. We should be buddies on here. I love diet soda, but so much I hardly drink enough water. Have you ever tried Crystal light? It's pretty good.

I'm breastfeeding my 2 week old and did a lot of research on this since I'm concerned about losing weight. I read that it's unhealthy to eat any less than 1500 calories if you're trying to lose weight and breastfeeding. I ate 1200 calories to lose weight when I wasn't breastfeeding. You don't want to accidently set your…
