  • Me to. I always see myself as slender. It was a shocker recently to see some pics and get a reality check! I need to lose weight!

  • I am an evening snacker also. In the past I would start work without breakfast and forget to eat till 2pm. Now I have a zone or fiber bar and eat lunch. I find that eating more during the day helps me be in control better at night. But I still want to nosh at night, so I just changed the way I do it. I have wine but drink…

  • For some reason the moves just come really easy for me. I didn't bother with the step by step just jumped right in. If you watch the DVD's you can see patterns including repeating movements during the choruses etc.

  • I weigh myself everyday. I also don't want to be disappointed by a once a week weigh in. So daily weigh ins help me stay on track and see where I am and what I need to do.
    in How often do you weigh yourself? Comment by 1FitBabe November 2011
  • Yes, good points. I can see where someone could easily set up MFP as very active and then count exercise calories on top and not lose. However, if I end up eating a few less calories since I exercised and if I am not hungry, I am not going to go out of my way to eat those calories. I have had a couple days where MFP says I…

  • Have any of you tried Wii Walk It Out. If you enjoy Leslie, you will probably LOVE Wii Walk It Out. - A very motivating game that will have you walking for miles and miles and loving it!

  • I tried Zumba for Wii and did not like it as much as I do the Zumba dvds Those are pretty awesome. Just Dance has a lot of great music but it stops between songs. So for regular exercise I like Zumba best. But they are all a lot of fun. Wii Walk It Out is amazing if you like to walk!

  • I have the WW at home program (from 2008) and I like MFP more. I think it is easier to see what you have to do when you look at calories eaten and calories burned.

  • I have that extra 70 pounds of baby weight also but baby is in her twenties! I never got rid of the weight I gained with the pregnancy and then added more. But I do agree with others to take it day by day, eventually it will come off if you persist.
    in 70 lbs of baby weight Comment by 1FitBabe October 2011
  • Even though you feel like you are overweight...be sure to appreciate the weight you are now. I remember when I was so much lighter and thought I was fat! Be sure to appreciate that you do not have more weight to lose and take care to manage it so you do not gain more.

  • I do a lot of melted sandwiches on it. A little cheese, turkey and mustard and 1 slice bread or Arnold's flats. Also really great for fish dishes, bacon, eggs. Very handy.

  • It depends on the material but jeans weigh usually weigh 1 to 2 pounds and some are heavier. You may have weighed yourself at a different time of day also.

  • I usually drink green iced tea, but in the winter I will sometimes add a bag or two of cinnamon to zest it up. Delish!
    in Diet Sodas Comment by 1FitBabe October 2011
  • I switched from diet soda to plain iced tea. The grocery store iced tea usually has a lot of junk in it, so I make my own. I bought an iced tea maker, and I make a fresh pot every couple days. I use a combination of decaf and regular tea bags.

  • It sounds like you know your weak point is when you go to the gym and don't eat. So maybe you should prepare for that and have healthy snacks ready like a cheese stick and cracker, hard boiled eggs, celery and a little peanut butter. That kind of thing. Sounds like you are doing great with the exercise so you sure don't…

  • If you think about it, in general fruit is about 80-100 calories, so naturally if you eat to much of it you will gain weight or have trouble losing. I have read a few comments from people on the WW points plus program where they shared that they could not lose weight because of to much fruit. The general guidelines for…
