I'm in a little shock here. I realized why I gained almost two lbs last week. Poor food choices and TOM certainly were the top two. But now to have this! OMG. Plateau...stay away! @usborne, thanks much for your tip about eating half of your exercise calories. Such a good physical and psychological mind set!

April 1st: 3 miles - Elliptical 97 to go!

I love these challenges; makes things interesting! I'm in! BTW, How many laps in the pool is a mile, generally?:smile:

NSV: When I lay down, I can feel my rib cage! So silly, but satisfying!

Lest' try this again! CW: 202.6 GW: 197.6 April 6: April 13: April 20: April 27:

I sweat a lot and so I get extremely chilled after a workout. I know what you mean about the hot shower part, it takes awhile for me to balance out. I'm also perimenapausal and so my hormones are probably whacked at the same time. Ah the joys of womanhood! Hang in there and wrap up after your work out. I've found getting…

Honey, the road ahead is littered with uneaten muffins! Take it from me, who has thirty years of experience being nineteen, knowledge is power. Know what it's going to cost you before you eat it. That way, you can go forth without compunction! Live to die(t) another day!

@usbornegal...way to reframe!

What does "BUMP" mean?

Ok, I know this is the healthy way, but oh, I forgot how slow one pound at a time feels!

@Belle (and anyone else who needs suggestions for figuring out strength training) I had a personal trainer for awhile a couple years ago, and it helped me to a certain degree. You do work out harder when someone pushes you. But I didn't ask questions or talk about muscle groups. And I would hear other trainers say things…

I cannot get the hang of quotes! Feeling challenged here and kind of dumb! :)

I'm so encouraged by everyone's perseverance!

Way to set the bar! Nice job, keep going!

I love everyone's posts! So much is what is going on in my head: movtivation, accountability, milestones, set-backs, perseverance (when you absolutely feel you have nothing in the tank). I'm somewhat new to messages boards, but I'm encouraged and happy to be here. Let's do it!!!

Ok.... CW 203.8 GW 197.8 3/2 203.8 3/9 3/16 3/23 3/30 I'm heading to One-derland!

I'm thinking this is just what I need! I haven't stepped on the scale since Novermber (I'm in a bit of denial after losing 50 lbs in 09-10, then sliding down that slippery slope) With that said, my weigh in day is Friday so I will have a CW and a GW and my first weigh in, tomorrow! 3/2 3/9 3/16 3/22 3/29 Just got word girl…

I am brand spanking new to My FItness Pal, but am in dire need. I've gained 23 lbs in a year, after losing 50 on Weight Watchers. So I'm struggling. I'm an emotional eater, and while I haven't completely abandoned good eating habits, I have re-incorporated some of the bad ones. Also, I was exercising/running 6 times a…
