You may want to try comparing your measurements. I had the same problem for 8 weeks straight. I worked out monitored my diet and did all of the "right" things. On the 6th week, someone recommended that I measure myself and compare those measurements. (I previously had not bothered with the measuring tape.) Come to find…

Hey Mr. Wonderful, Thanks so much for the words of encouragement! You truly made me smile. :smooched: :happy: If you haven't heard it today, you're wonderful, doing a wonderful job and are truly adored. Have a wonderful Hump Day and a Blessed end to your week!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

You look great!!! Congrats!!

It really depends on how much you cook at any one time. The price of the grill is usually related to the size of the grill and features of the grill plates. The thing that I would definitely suggest is that you spend the extra few dollars and get the Foreman grill that has removable grilling plates, otherwise cleaning is…

Welcome to the MFP community!! I wish you the best in your efforts. Feel free to friend me if you like. :flowerforyou:

Hey - can you ask one of your XFit trainers if they can modify some of the WOD's for you - when I broke my toe they gave me options. [/quote] I talked to my trainers this AM, and I talked with my therapist. I am actually going to stay with XFit and modify. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Basically the therapist thinks that I need to…

All of the previous suggestions sound great, the other thing that you may want to consider is trying different types of exercise to minimize the repetitive impact to your joints and bones. I have terrible knee pain if I run multiple days in a week, so I walk a couple of days, I run a couple, I jump rope use the elliptical…

A respectable loss.... 1.1. Current weight is 179.9 for the week!! Have a great weekend All!! :happy:

This week has been 7 days worth of ups and downs for me. I have struggled most of the week and questioned my efforts for a day or two, but thankfully I got through it with a decent loss, and a better attitude. For all of you, that sent encouraging words during my whiney week, THANKS. I hope that everyone has had a good…

Lifenow- We're really glad you're here. A lot of us share your experiences, caring for everyone around us and not realizing how far we get from the task of caring for ourselves. It comes to light in our weight, our self esteem and so many other places. The wonderful thing is that you've found a great place to share. I…

I really appreciate all of the good input. I have managed to rework a few of my old recipes to make them more healthy. I think that I will splurge and have a small meal that I am craving, this weekend. I will keep in mind the moderation rule, and all of your wonderful advice. I have to admit the idea of slipping back into…

I will be happy to add you. I am a newly wed with the same "fat and happy" issue. I will be more than happy to be a part of your support network, so we can get through it together. Chris:flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP. You couldn't have found a more supportive community. I wish you the best in your efforts. Feel free to friend me if you like.

I can respect your desire to go it on your own. I agree that there comes a time when you need to prove to yourself that you've made life changes. It sounds like you understand the need. It also sounds like you've educated yourself regarding good food choices, and the need for regular exercise. I don't think you sound…

You have done a great job!! Thanks for the inspiration!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I am in there!! Trying to drop that stubborn pound, I tacked on this week.

Welcome back!! :happy:

You are correct about the gowear and it is supposed to have a better interface for the food log. I just didn't want to order it because they aren't sold in stores. I hate paying shipping and handling. Mine was 185 and came with 6 months online access which made the bodybugg and gowear the same price (considering you have…

I have the Bodybugg and a cheaper HRM by Sportline. I find that my heart rate monitor comes in at about 100-150 more calories per work out than the bodybugg. The bodybugg has been very useful, in that it tells you what you're doing all day. I have had a few moments where I was like.. WTH!! It seems that I burn almost as…

Somehow or another, I managed to gain 1 lb. I think I may be bloated...thanks Tom!!! Anyway, last Friday I was at 180. this week I am at 181. Oh well.... lets see what next week brings. I hope everyone had a great..loss..week! :bigsmile: Chris :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP!! You won't find a friendlier support group!! I wish you the best in your efforts. :flowerforyou:

OMG!!! That is hillarious!! :laugh: :laugh:

Welcome!! Glad you found MFP! :happy:

Hi!! I am in the same position just quite a few years ahead of you. :bigsmile: For years, 16 to be exact I held on to the baby weight :laugh: and now that my kids (17 months apart in age) are now 16 and 15 I decided to give up the ghost and get my act together. (I've tried other fad diets etc and always gained it back +)…

Girl Please!!! No failure in giving it your all!! I get out there three days a week with the C25k and I struggle for a lot of it, but I'm out there giving it all that I have. I see your efforts as nothing less than stellar. It is so much easier to sit on the couch and complain, but you're doing it, and thats what counts. I…

Thanks so much for your post. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: With all of the "quick fix" diets and other strange fads it is nice to see others taking their time and doing it right. I spent 8 weeks training hard and watching my diet very closely to lose absolutely no weight. I was so tempted to just say "The heck with it"…

Woo...hoo!! I dropped 1.4 this week. I thought I posted this earlier today, but it doesn't seem to be on the board. Anyway, its been a good week. Chris :flowerforyou:

:bigsmile: Come on with it Saturday!! I'm in!! :bigsmile:

Hi Shivah, Welcome to the MFP family. :happy: Glad you decided to get on board. The longer you're on here the more support you'll find, and there's a wealth of information floating around on the boards.:bigsmile: So far as your exercise, do what you like. You're much more likely to stay active if you're doing things that…
