My mom asked our running store about 5fingers, and they don't sell them because of Injuries from them.

I stugle and get discouraged, but not giving up yet. Just trying to make it work some how. I just get discouraged to see everyone else succeeding and I'm strugling.

I struggle with week 5 day 2 before. Kept repeating it never got easier for me. One of my other MFP friends sugested I go back and repeat week 4 on Thursday I did week 5 day 1, was unable to do it weekend because of storms. Think I'm going to repeat 5-1 2 or 3 more times and do 5-2 3 times and see how it goes. When i…

Yes I do eat back most of my burn calories unless I have a huge burn day and its hard to.

No not a silly question. I started my journey in October 20¹1 and lost 30lbs in 6 months. I've been in maintenance since April 30. Approaching maintenance I tried to slow my low gradually, but still approached goal sooner than expected. My first week I gained 2lbs. So dropped my calorories from 1930 to 1800. My goal was…

i reach my goal april 26 and started maintenance the 30th. need a few in maintenance

I have 5 lbs to go! Just switched from 1.5 lbs per week to 1lb per week. SO afraid I'll start gaining.

i TRY TO COMMENT ON FRIENDS POST AND REVIEW DIARIES. THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS i HAV NOT COMMENTED MUCH AND FEEL BAD, BUT HAVE HAD FAMILY ISUES AND BEN A LITTLE UNDER THE WEATHER. I welcome both the good and bad critizism. I feel it helps me and makes for less research to find what improvements to make. If i feel I get no…

I have been up and down since the beginning of the year. Been trying different things. What i'm trying now is to take one day a week and do extra exercise. Then i am still doing my regular exercise the rest of the week. Hoping this helps, tired of the ups and downs.

Anyone may add me as well!

thats great! I felt the same way when it told me "that normal". now i just watch my weight go up and down week to week and when i have a gain try to look at long term accomplishments. will take friends

I have spent about $600 and was influenced and encouraged by others

i JUST PURCHASED A POLAR FT60 THIS WEEK. HAS GPS TRACKING AND YOU CAN GET THE FOOT POD. HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT GPS YET.

ALSO AN APP FOR AND DROID AND IPHONE CALLED MAPMYRUN.

Soft drinks have a lot of sugar. one 12 ounce can of Pepsi has amost 3X the daily allowence of sugar.

I"m sorry it:s an ft60 by Polar

Make sure your netting at least 1200.

i was in the same boat. I raised my calorie goal to 1300 and try to make sure I net 1200 to 1300. seems to have helped so far. been told i may not be eating enough. If i plateau again I will net 1500 calories.

When I started. MFP set me at 1200. I lost, I stayed under. I lost weight for 2 months at about 1.5 to 2 Lbs a week. After 2 months I plateaued. I changed my goal to 1300, trying to eat 1500 and net at 1300. lost weight after I changed. Been doing research and talking with MFP fieinds and feel yes you do need to net…

yOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOUR EATING 3 MEALS A DAY, COUNTING SNACKS AND DRINKS.

I found this on another post. Mon 11/07/11 04:44 PM Another write up I did on my weight loss page I thought could be helpful to our MFP community :) First things first........ Are we to blame? Some dieters are anxious to blame their plateau on physiological changes, rather than looking first to see if we are causing the…

First thing in AM. sweat pants and Tshirt or house coat on my wiifit. At Dr. office my work clothes because I usually go to work after.

I know you can customize and create you own routine, but I don't know anyway on the challenges to replace workouts. I have the same issue where I would like to replace like pushups.

I use ea active, more workouts and ea active 2 and seeing 1.5 to 2 lb loss per week! try to also work my rest days.

i start out with ea sports active, then do the more workouts then do ea sport active 2 each day. i have not figured out how to work my rest day on ea sports active 2. i have lost 12lbs sines october 25 and 10lbs since i joined mfp on november. i like the ea 2 best.

also ea active 2 (newer version) does not use nunchuk uses leg and arm bands included, easier to use not getting tangled up. myshape uses camera hard workout, don't remember if it shows calories. i use all 3 wii active.

i was taking green tea supliments and drinkinking green tea before i started mfp. seemed to help, but when i started mfp i noticed the sugar content in green tea bottle and stopped drinking, because i"m trying to lower sugar and cholesterol. its supposed to help lower both. any comments on this?

weekly is probably better. I do it daily, I have a wiifit. some days i show little loss, some days i show a gain, some days i show a big loss, but if you look at it on a weekly basis i've been showing a loss since i've been loosing weight. if you do it daily you can not get discouraged showing a gain or little or no loss…

add you> i too looking for support. weight loss not easy but with right support we can do it!
