Can't change genes. They are worker muscle legs. I have em too. But You should do as suggested above get the best shape you can out of them. Good luck. Kimmie

Ok well low carb (true original back in 70s) was always under 20g carbs and takes 3 days to get into ketosis to begin losing. My dad lost a lb a day doing low carb back then I lost almost a hundred pounds in a year and a half. So it does work for awhile didnt for me after that. This also means anytime you cheat and go over…

I bring stuff to make sandwiches oh and pbj too

I've heard 6-12 cups a day and I've heard 8 cups and then 1 for every 10 pounds you wanna lose. My mom is tiny and drinks 4 cups a day. I am much larger and tend to drink 6-10 more if actually hot or sweaty work out. I believe we need x amount but that x varies by person. Kimmie

At my walmart its on the pb aisle

I never felt sick on low carb but don't lift weights. I do do alot of 40-60lb boxes at work though. I found I lose just as much simply watching calories as when I low carbed. And when I had a cheat day on low carb it took several days to get back to losing whereas on lower calorie I usually still always lose at the end of…

5'7" 30 y/o Restarting weight 278lbs Current weight 268lbs Goal is 155lbs Once there who knows. I never been below 200 as an adult ( or teen for that matter) I was doing bellydance fitness, taebo and self made cardio which I was kicking butt at doing 10 calories a minute. Will resume once hit 240 area again. Occassional…

I have much much more to lose but 20lbs is very doable. You simply need to figure out how much you need to take in to lose half a pound a week and stick tomit. Exercise helps as does watching your sodium. Feel free to friend me if you like. Kimmie

You can do this! Start walking. Start logging your meals. Measuring and weighing stuff to be accurate. Walking, as earlier suggested is low impact and a great beginning exercise. Walk slow and fast for as long as you can. Oh and highly suggest a heart rate monitor. Feel free to friend me. You can so get down 30lbs in 6…

After much family and moving stress etc I gained back evrrything I' d lost a some but knew I'd never reach the spot I wanted without getting back on track. So, here I am one month back in and 10lbs back into positive territory. You can do this. Feel free to friend me if you like. Kimmie

At your age, weight and height I'd say 1200 is a good number and give it atleast 2 more weeks before lowering any but at 5' tall you are small so can get by on the 1200 or slightly under range. Set your loss for 1lb a week and see what mfp says at sedentary. Don't give up. Kimmie

Personally I loved bellydance fitness and for hellish calorie burns taebo. Find something you enjoy.

Theres no way you gained 4 pounds in a weekend. You may have overdone sodium and are retaining alot of water. It will pass in a few days and you should be back to 170 or below. I reccommend not weighing so often. It can be very discouraging. If you still haven't lost any in a couple of fairly clean eating weeks then look…

Depends on how much you are netting in calories. Make sure you aren't too low. I'd say no less than 1300 net. Just my opinion. Kimmie

You sound like you are at a great place. We all must reach a spot to be truly ready. Feel free to friend me if you'd like some support. Kimmie

When I was in the "I've lost 65lbs " zone a year and a half ago I got their allowing myself to go waaaaayyyyyyyy over calories one day a month. I logged them best I could but never worried about it. I lost just fine doiing so. Kimmie

We met online on pof... I was absolutely sick of pof. I saw his profile. He was new to pof. He seemed overall sweet, nerdy and had beautiful eyes in his pic. He read my brief message and I saw that he had but hadn't answered. Being ignored annoys the heck outta me so I figured this was the last straw and I was deleting my…

Not self confirmed but have seen insane numbers burned from hot yoga. But if you try it drink tons of water.

I love bonobos. They are true hippies :)

I have a pair of girls. Totally opposite personalities but both cuties. Ku and Grunt. Kimmie

I am so sorry for your pain and tragedy always is hard to overcome. Exercise, though healthy, isn't mandatory for weight loss. If you are truly ready to restart then do so. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Welcome back. Feel free to friend me. Kimmie

Thanks all

I'm in. I wanna lose another 20-25lbs by xmas

Well depends on how much you have to lose. But yeah if you have any sore muscles youre retaining water but 5 days isn't really enough time to see a significant loss on average unless you have alot to lose. (Like 40lbs or more) Also sodium if too high can make you retain water. Ignore the scale for the next 5-7 days then…

Well, I hate pretty much all exercise. Some is interesting some even a little fun but I still hate it. When I was exercising regularly the only way I stuck to it was a simple self challenge. It didnt really matter which I did, but I had to do it harder everytime. I had to burn min 10 cal a minute. I had to get better. I…

Well, I gained it all back because life and stress. Because my family problems, because I couldnt get below 200lbs after 2 months at 206. Because when I went on birth control I gained 15lbs for no real reason. I have many reasons but just as many to lose it again and more.

well most folks will answer once a week when you wake up use the bathroom and then weigh yourself, but I find for some odd reason I weigh less after Ive been awake and active an hour or so. I always wait until my off days and usually my second off day. I find being up an hour or so then weighing myself I weigh in atleast a…
