No, you don't have to be a gym member :) I exercised mainly at home (I've collected a lot of equipment over the past few years lol)

That drives me crazy too lol I think someone combined density & weight said that phrase...people try to justify a weight increase or staying the same and "maybe you gained muscle...muscle weighs more than fat" response was born lol

How many calories are you eating?

Welcome and much luck to you! My starting weight was 320 and now I'm 164 (gotta little more to go to my new goal).

I'll be logging....good or not, it will be accounted for :) This is my 3rd Thanksgiving while on my healthier lifestyle. I already know my plans for the day.....lots of outdoor playing with the kids, my on plan breakfast, smoked white turkey breast, a nice big salad & minimal amount of whatever else. We visit my in-laws in…

1. What's your real name? Tanee 2. Married, single, long-term relationship, divorced, widowed? Married to my high school best friend :) 3. How old are you (no cheating)? 32 4. A food you love that's terrible for you: fried shrimp, soft shell crab, oysters 5. Celebrity crush: tim olyphant 6. What size would you like to be?…

Yes! This is how I view Thanksgiving eating. We are visiting in-laws so what they make is beyond my control so I'll eat a nice salad (I do bring my own dressing lol) and then eat sensibly. :) it's not an excuse to gorge myself.

fried softshell crab :love: I haven't had one in almost a year though but I enjoyed it very much!

You might want to check to see if your stride is close enough to the way you naturally walk. If it's too short it can hurt your knees and not give you enough circulation in your legs.

It doesn't help it go away...I wear under armor ones when I run & do Zumba to keep whatever's wobbly from doing so lol I just posted some FAQ's about loose skin in my blog :)

Gumbo isn't too bad especially if he didn't make a roux (ugh, the half ton of butter or whatever your family uses for that is the worst part)....reading your post has made me want some seafood gumbo! :) as for the rice, the calorie counts are almost the same for all types!

I'm a barefooted workout girl :) The only times I wear shoes to workout is when I'm running (vibram fivefingers) or teaching a fitness class.

Sounds like your friend is jealous :X I've never had a friend on FB say something nasty about my weight loss stuff...they have all been my cheerleaders :) If they did be mean I'd jump all over them lol maybe that's why?

Love this!!

1400 is usually a good calorie goal to work with. :) 1200 is the minimum of what a person should be eating. The numbers are going to be something you are going to have to play with.

Mine eats healthy at home but not when he's gone to work. If he's not tracking what he's eating there is no telling why he isn't losing weight...

Welcome! :D

Welcome!!!!

Mine says 225 lol I renewed it by mail not thinking of going up there to get a new picture and correct my weight. Hopefully I'll remember in 4 years ;)

Yeap it's water retention...not drinking water plus probably lots of sodium & alcohol will do it. No worries though, get back to what you were doing before and drink plenty of water to rehydrate :)

Oh my triggers are cakes, brownies, chocolate, any baked good with sugar lol

It is an uphill battle but I never feel deprived. If there I a healthier way to make what I am wanting I do it. :)

I think joining an exercise group on here is a great idea :)

Anything from Ellen Barrett :)

to me it's a game in my head of "eat this, not that!" lol I love watching Man Vs. Food.....dunno why because all of the challenges gross me out. I guess it's like a bloody horror movie :laugh:

:smile: I'm one of those people that can hear a song and play it exactly with no sheet music. I play the violin, cello, bass, guitar & piano.

That shouldn't be too much to do with them...if you aren't sure just start by wearing them around the house. I do almost all of my workouts barefooted too (and run in my fivefingers!)

Yeap...this. You can do exercise to tone up in that area but it won't spot reduce the fat.

Tanee is my first name & I will be fit for life ;)
