It happens to me almost every weekend, especially now during the spring. Lots of parties in May.... Not much to do about it. I usually try to get in a nice, long weekend workout if I can manage, but still by Monday morning I'm up 2-6 lbs. But starting then, I just try to get right back on track with my daily exercise…

It absolutely IS a huge difference! Congratulations on all your hard work. Keep it up! :)

One cup of black coffee and 3 small hard-boiled eggs on crispbread with light mayo. I'm trying very hard to force myself to eat eggs for the protein, and so far it's hard-boiled eggs and mayo that work.

Great job!! BIG difference!
-
Wow, amazing progress! I had the same starting weight as you, and started about 6 months ago too. But you've done MUCH better! Congratulations, enjoy it :)
-
You do look fantastic!! I'm stuck on the exact same plateau... Sooooo close to finally breaking the 200s but the scales have barely budged in the past 2 months. I've tried switching up both my workouts and my calorie intake, with no noticeable results on the scales or measuring tape. Like you, the only comfort is seeing…

I have almost weekly cheat days and I log everything I eat that day, but I don't feel guilty about it. I do it for a few different reasons. On the one hand, it's to see how much I'm really eating on a day like that. It's interesting to me to see how bad those delicious, crappy foods really are. Also, the thing that keeps…

Amazing difference on your belly after just 10 days! Keep going strong :)

I'm short and I have a relatively small frame, so it's all flab on me! Age: 27 Height: 5'3'' SW: 107 kg / 236 lbs CW: 92 kg / 202 lbs GW: 67 kg / approx 150 lbs Once I reach my goal weight, I'll reassess. It's weird typing those up today, I just broke a loooong plateau and just the number 107 just looks preposterous to me.

I've always had big calves (both fat and a decent amount of muscle), so big that I could never find booths that went above the ankle. I'm 5'3'' so they always looked a bit ridiculous on me, and I've unfortunately heard some negative comments about them. I thought they'd slim down when I started losing weight and was really…

I'll probably stick with it but not on a daily basis. I'd right do a full gym workout with 45-60 minutes of cardio and then strength. But the Shred is great for those days when I don't feel up to it or just don't have the time!
-
You have done an awesome job! Really inspiring cause I recognize a lot of the things I've been struggling with in your post. I'm at a plateau right so thanks a lot for the inspiration! Keep up the AMAZING work!

My absolute favourite salad is couscous, arugula and other baby leaf greens, cherry tomatoes, feta and bits of sundried tomato, with balsamico as a dressing. I sometimes put tuna or chicken in it as well for added protein. I always make a big batch of it and keep it in the fridge but then I usually end up eating the…

I do it 2-3 times a month, especially if I'm sick / hungover / PMSing. It's partly to keep my sanity and to limit binges, cause whenever I really crave something bad for me, I'll tell myself "you can have it on sunday". The binges aren't completely disgusting either, usually around 2,500 calories. It may be twice my new…
-
I've gained a few pounds AND plateaued the last couple weeks, along with some diet fatigue, and I've had the urge to binge a lot more! And I do feel myself slipping into old habits. I think that not having the gratification of seeing the numbers drop on the scale is making my motivation and self-control waver, then I start…

age 27 5'3 small build SW 236 lbs / 107 kg CW 207 lbs/ 94 kg GW 145-150 lbs / around 67 kg (then I might re-evaluate) 1200 calories / day and I usually don't eat much of my exercise calories back, although I will if I'm still hungry. When it comes to exercise I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, where I do 45-60 min of cardio…

Bump for later! My flabby upper arms are a big problem area and only seem to get flabbier as I lose weight and body fat!

The one song that always gets me moving, thats at the top of my cardio playlist: Sean Paul - Temperature

I've had a few bloopers... I often get my earphones wire caught on the handles of the elliptical, and they fly out of my ears, which startles me and sometimes hits me in the face... Once, while working on my biceps, I was doing pulldowns and concentrating so hard on keeping my hands level that I pulled the bar down on my…

You're doing great!!!

Ideally, you should just let your body rest. It's already working pretty hard trying to get you better, so over-exerting it would make things worse. That said, I did work out when I was sick a couple weeks ago, and not only was I not anywhere near my usual strength, but I was way more tired during and afterwards. I sweated…
-
I hop on the scale every morning but only log it once or twice a week, depending on my workout schedule and if/when I have a cheat day. If I see an unexpected loss, I'll wait to see if it's a fluke or a real loss. I also do measurements about once a week, but sometimes I'll skip it.

I'm 27 and had a starting goal of losing about 90 lbs. I'm down 28 already :) Add me if you like!
-
That's a huge difference! I started around the same time as you, around the same weight as you and I definitely don't see that big a change on myself. You are doing an amazing job! You should definitely be proud of your progress :)
-
Bump for later! My arms have always been especially flabby for my size, and after losing 25 lbs (and plenty more to go), they only seem to get flabbier! I've started doing strength but I'm looking for all the help I can get
-
I sort of feel the same way. I've had a gym membership for over a year, but I didn't get serious about it until October 2011. And I did feel like I was being judged, cause I was obviously overweight and obviously new. For a while I never worked out unless it was before noon or after 8pm. Now that I have an exercise routine…

I use the recipes function on MFP all the time. I would go mad when making dinner if I couldn't! It's really easy. Just enter all the ingredients from the database, how many people it serves, and it calculates for you.

I sometimes have trouble with my knees when I do too much cardio, and the 30DS KILLED my knees My ankles were getting pretty bad too. I just had to give it up before even finishing Level 1. Instead I started using Jillian Michael's 6 Week 6 pack video, and I enjoy that one a lot more! It's not enough on its own, but with…

About once a week, depending on the week. Over the holidays it was much more frequent, but in my regular life, it usually happens on weekends when I go out with my friends. I dont stress much over it, I'm usually within my weekly goal anyway. Sometimes its a cheat meal, sometimes a whole cheat day.
