Just looking good and feeling good. I feel so gross after eating bad food. Unfortunately, this feeling causes me to eat more bad food because I already feel gross.

Hey, I just got married in august and will now be a bridesmaid in my frien's wedding this coming august. I had lost 40 pounds for my wedding, which btw made my dress alterations very difficult! Anyway, I just purchased my bridesmaid dress size 4. It is very tight on me. I guess if I had to, I could wear it, but it would…

I think half a pound is a good goal because you can try to lose weight as fast as you want but its not gonna happen if it is unsustainable.

I just weighed in at 132. I ate everything last night. :( I have a feeling before that I had been down to 131. Its okay. Yesterday I woke up at 5am to study for finals, ate 2 bowls of cereal. Then 5 hours later, I wondered the heck I was soo hungry. My new strategy is waking uop late. If I am not awake, I can't eat.…

1. I am doing couch to 5k and experimenting with fitness classes. Basically, before I was just counting calories and now I am working out. 2. I think it is working, however I just started again after falling off for a few weeks. My scale looks like I lost a couple pounds already, but Thursday is my official weigh in with…

I had the same experience, but then i had the recess experience. I was walking past a store and saw my reflection and was like "damn I'm hot again! of course, I still have a ways to go, but through hard work you too can have the reverse experience.

I would rather be taking an exam rather than sitting here worry about it. Tomorrow at noon till I'm done!

I went from a size 12 to size 6. My goal is a size 4.

I would say something like, "wow, I only burn 300 calories when I do that. Tell me how to burn that many!"

If you chug water before working out, doesn't it cause stomach pain from it giggleing around in there?

I am looking for someone who will respond to my posts and provide encouragement so I can do the same. I have a friend who just posts and posts and posts but doesn't respond to feedback and doesn't comment on anybody else's stuff. that is pretty annoying.

My goal is to be able to go to an aerobics class without feeling like I am going to faint.

i'm in. I probablly won't make it because I only have that much total to lose, cause I am not starting out that heavy, but I sure will try! I am 133

a dress can look great everywhere except my belly. It is always sticking out all nasty. I also have a problem with stretching pants. My nasty thighs sticking together, gross!

Sometimes peoople, especially men aren't keen to details, just tell yourself that next time you will lose so much it will be impossible for him not to see!

Thanks everybody! I don't think its dehydration, since I drink while working out, I am not diabetic or anything and my blood pressure is textbook. Somebody mentioned something about bloodflow. Do you think its due to my muscles being weak. Don't muscles help distribute the blood?

I use the treadmill as a procrastination tool, but it doesn't help with the stress eating! :(

Buy size 4 jeans!

I have a question about it. Is there a lot if going up and down in the class? I find that in aerobics classes if you have to get up and then kneel down repeatedly, I get dizzy and its pretty embarrassing. I am going to a Zumba class on Wednesday for the first time a and would like to know. Thanks!

Right now I am on week do, and I have a treadmilll do its pretty easy to tell how fast I am going. I just do 9 minutes of running at 6m/h and 20 minutes of walking 4m/h. Together they add up to the amount of calories. As far as how much you burn. MFP actually changes the amount of calories for your workouts based on how…

Yup. All i'm doing is staying home and studying for the next three days. Kinda sucks.

Me, it looks like you already have 10 though. :(

I am thinking about going to a Zumba class, but after looking like an idiot in the aerobics class by not being able to keep up, I am worried about dance classes. I am pretty uncoordinated. Do they switch moves really fast in zumba?

I heard about the 30 day shred. Were you able to do it everyday? It sounds like I would be sore for a week after doing that. I know gilina says to do it 6 days a week, but do you think thats reasonable?

I need to do the same. I need friends who will help motivate me and yell at me when I am not on.

If you have a lot to lose, you aren't going to see a difference until you lose more. Really heavy people don't ever look pregnant for this reason. It also could just be you being self conscious. You should show us before and afters and get a non-biased oppinion.

Don't take it! It made me put on 30 pounds, slowly put surely. Problem was it was impossible to lose weight no matter how much I worked out and how little I ate until I got off it.

I lost about 40 pounds, but it took about a year. I would go on and off with the excercise, mostly off. I would just go on the treadmill. At first I could only run for 1 minute, but eventually got up to 20 minutes. I would say I would work out for about a month and then stop for 3 months and then got back into it. It was…

Its a good low cal substitute for mile. There is only 40 calories in a cup compared to 90 calories in skim cow's milk. It is also much richer tasting than skim milk.

Be careful with pills. I was on a few medications for a few years. I didn't even put the two together, I just figured I was gaining the weight because I was getting older. Then I tried to lose weight, It wasn't happening. I got off all medications and it wasn't like the weight dropped off, I had to work for it, but at…
