Don't give up. I was having a similar situation. I upped my calories 150 per day and dropped wieght right away. You might want to try it.

I still do wii fit. I just do the one that came with it. I have one of dance ones but it freezes-so no good. I have a bob harper one too, it is a bit strenous
-
Yep walking and DVDs count. It is pretty much what I do too. I ride my bike when I'm home (travel for work).

30 minute Jillian Michaels yoga DVD. Doesn't sound like much but she makes it aerobic and I am not the least bit flexible.
-
Took 6 days before I exercised in the hotel room again, but I did it today after buying a Jillian Michaels yoga dvd (she makes yoga aerobic to burn fat)
-
I'm proud I took out a DVD and did a 50 minute cardio workout in my hotel room!

Hi, my name is Marilyn. I'm 56, soon to be 57. I am married since 2008. I have 6 kids (combo of natural and step), 6 grandchildren. I was always considered chubby. I look at old pictures of me and think "where is the fat girl". I was heavy for the times, but wouldn't be by today's norms (not that today's averages are…

Sounds like you are doing well with the temptations. Go look in the mirror, smile at yourself and give yourself a thumbs up for being successful. In the past it has helped me to stay the course by saying/thinking "that isn't consistent with my goals". helps me stay on track and for some reason people don't go into that "aw…

I want to join (just joined the group, but adding here so hopefully you will send the spreadsheet info. I missed today's mini challenge. Took til 9p tonite to realize that it is the 1st of the month and I want a challenge to join to help keep me on track. (Though I will be out of town for 2 weeks for work, don't know if…

Try it in the smoothie, if you already like it on other foods you will like it. I started with more fruit less spinach then progressed lowering the fruit increasing the spinach, I now do 2 cups of spinach- depending how much fruit or other greens you put in the spinach is barely noticeable.

June 6 stayed within calories took vitamins/supplements forgot the 3rd, thought of it before I started.

I stopped losing on MFP calories (1400) so I upped to 1600. I've used a couple BMR calculators and this should work, Also will be close to what I should be eating when I get to goal. The weirdest thing is that when I exercise I have a hard time getting 1600 in. I do eat back some exercise calories at least to net 1400. I'm…

Love nutella, I try to eat only occasionally, but I love chocolate and have some almost every day.

We are similar, I can spend 10 to 18 hours on the computer a day. Exercise is my hardest thing to make myself do. Trying hard to eat clean.

PBsMommy I sent you PM 9:45 this am with gmail address. Thinking you might not have seen it as you haven't added me and you have others sent there. Also sent request for access from the spreadsheet link

I'm Marilyn. I Started out gung ho in January lost 8 lbs pretty easily, then slowed down. I looked at old stats today, I've been losing 1lb a month since March. My goal has been 5 lbs a month. I've been right-weight twice in my life for 2 or 3 years at a time. I was stuck at 203 for 4 1/2 years. I do pretty well when I do…

Found challenge Friday so using today as start, wasn't really any change this week anyway SW/CW 191.6 challenge GW 177 total GW 145 next GW 189 tired of the 90s Congratulations to all who lost.

As long as sticking to your calorie goal includes your exercise calories you should be ok. If your exercise is building muscle the muscle is denser (less size to the pound than fat). You will be smaller without getting lighter. You won't get muscley unless you are into heavy lifting. So (for illustrative purposes, not…

A bunch of years ago I thought I was lactose intolerant and gave up dairy. When given a choice of being sick or going without it was really easy to go without. At the time I had a serious ice cream habit and easily gave it up and didn't miss it. Later I found out I can not eat wheat. Seriously get ill when I eat it. Easy…

Looks like you are undereating. I was losing 1/2 to 1 lb a week. Stalled for 2 weeks, added 200-300 calories a day. Lost 2.5 lbs last week.

L2D5. Can do one walking push-up from standing to standing. My granddaughter keeps telling me my stomach is much smaller. I feel good today. Lot's of energy today. Took a bike ride and have moved my average speed from 9.8 ish to 10.4.
-
That's a good idea, I like it.

You want high volume/low cal foods. Veggies and to a lesser degree fruits. If you think you don't like them start small, apple, orange, carrots. Or try a salad with carefully measured dressing. Oatmeal for breakfast with 1/4 cup of fruit is really good and satisfying. Your post says 1290 cal goal. Your diary is mostly…
-
Without any data (age, food diary) it is hard to say. Some possibilities are: If you are only eating 1200 calories plus exercising, you probably need to up your calories. Sounds wrong but it is true your body needs a certain amount to maintain itself if you eat too little your body gets afraid to let go of the fat. Try…

Just finished day 1 level 2. I do like it better than level 1. I am able to do plank position more than I thought. I got a new HRM, one that I don't have to stop and push a button to have it read. I think the reading is more accurate than what I was looking before. instead of 308 cals the old one showed (other routine)…

completed day 7 tonight. Getting stronger. Hubby joined me for his 2nd round- he needed 3 days rest to be able to go again. We biked 9 miles today. The strength I gained from 30 DS really has made a difference. I can't do all the bicycle crunches either. The reverse crunches are even harder. After so much talk here about…
