"where" you exercise doesnt change how many calories you burn... unless you're not enjoying it. If you dont like going to the gym- clear up some space in your living room and get a workout video & some hand weights ... there are SO many good videos you could do different ones each day. They key is consistnacy. Don't stop.

I have the same problem, esp because I have bangs... I just wear hats :P But there are a TON of great solutions here.... nice work ladies!

I suppose it depends on your intentions as well. Confidence has nothing to do with being slutty or anything else of that nature. You don't have to be a size 2 be confident, nor do you have to dress a certain way or show skin to show confidence. Some people prefer to be a bit more conservative for moral reasons- which is…

Thats kinda rude, espeically coming from a superior who should be supportive of POSITIVE changes. I run on my lunch everyday. Sometimes I sweat when its hot out- but either way that's what water is for. I spend a few minutes washing up at the sink- throw on some deodorant + body spray and you're set! Also, I bring a change…

I too am VERY serious about my "weight loos journey" if you will... I didn't even know there was a social network on MFP for almost a month. I found that having friends who cheer you on and encourage and motivate you is one of the BEST things to keep me on my toes. I don't have any support otherwise, and like many people…

HAHAH! good one! My husband came home last night and I swear that was the first thing he said to me... DONT COOK RED MEAT! it was funny :P

So, I did the same thing as you for about 3 weeks, exercising more and harder than EVER before. Only to lose a mere 3 pounds and then stall?? I started doing research and learning about TDEE and BMI etc. Although we are eating "enough" for ourselves.. we are exercising more than ever which means we're burning more "fuel"…

Yes maam. If you haven't put any type of strain or physical stress on your body in a long time that is to be expected. The elliptical is hard in general for many people. Why not try something to ease into it like light jogging first? And another thing I learned the hard way was STRETCH. Take the time to do it, your muscles…

Wow, that's truly amazing. I dont know why but I hate running. I'm trying to do it everyday to build my stamina, but the thought of running in a marathon is a nightmare for me : | Were you a runner earlier in life, or was this entirely new for you??

I dont know, I'm still working on the last 8-10 myself. All i can say is DON'T GIVE UP. You're already over 70% done!

Very inspirational! Thank you for sharing :) You look AWESOME. It's nice to see the result of what you're working your butt of for!

you look AMAZING! what a cute smile! Good work!

Wow! you look so much younger! Great job, you look gorgeous :)

....when you "treat" yourself to fruit (late night) ....when you get exctied at the freakin sports store ....when your heart rate starts increasing just thinking/getting ready to exercise! ....when you automatically measure your food without thinking about it ....when you read every single label of every food item you buy…

So based on my research, you should do HIIT no more than 3 days a week... So you could actually do both. I do the 30DS in the mornings before work and then stregnth at night. Its a good routine and makes me feel good throughout the day. Good luck to you!

Lookin good!!! Keep up the great work! :)

I PREFER working out at home. There are like 5 gyms very close by to me haha I dont like being in the public eye like that, it makes it hard for me to focus. I've made several attempts at wieght loss and this is the first time that I REALLY feel successful. I've never SEEN muscles on my body. I do everything at home. I got…

Wow what a big difference in such short time. congratts :) Thanks for sharing, I'm also doing the 30DS- Not every single day because life just happens lol

WHAT THE HELL!? Ughh! How did you contain yourself!? Complete idiots. Yeah we ALL STRIVE to be like Jen. Hudson, she is a GOD.... how lame.

good question... hoping for a scientific answer....

If you feel comfortable in it... go for it! I cant wear that kinda stuff without being paranoid about it ALL NIGHT so it kinda ruins my fun. If you're worried about your "goods" hanging out try some spanx??

My husband cant remember my shoe size.. which has been the same since Jr. High! lol And weight is such a tricky thing... two people who weigh the same could look completely different. And being women we are usually better at hiding troubled area with cute clothes right! :P BTW that's cute :)

I am an advocate for moderation. Unless you plan on NEVER eating out ever again, that's fine- but if you are trying to incorporate this into your "lifestyle" you need to be able to balance high calorie meals once and a while. It's a part of life. However, be careful with what you are putting in your body- I pretty much…

Try switching up your routine a little bit- Do you use weights on the elliptical ? Try it. Also try doing squats on it or turning up the resistance high.

Thank you for your post, I just finished week 2 of upping my calories. I was one of those people who was lowering calories and adding tons of cardio- because that's what we've been programmed to beleive is the road to weight loss. It took me aboout 2-3 weeks to realize my body was not happy one bit. Initially I did gain…

ooo0o0o... that looks interesting! Thanks for sharing, I am going to try this tonight!

Wow, that's fantastic! You look super amazing!

I like what you did there, different! Great job girl!

Love your post. I just began 1800/day i'm on my second week. I wish I did it sooner.

you look gorgeous hun, great work! :)
