They're a bunch of bullies, plain and simple. Can you put headphones on and crank the music? I know how hateful people can be. If it really is impacting your mental healthy, I'd find somewhere else to workout. Seriously. You're doing this for you and while it's easy to say don't let them effect you, that's easier said than…

I workout at the local Y, where there are shapes and sizes of all kinds. Big, bulky men to drastically overweight women. First, I agree with everyone who says who cares? You're there for you. Second, anytime I see a drastically overweight woman or man, I think - good for them! They are taking care of their healthy and I…

^^ THIS!! Look up your TDEE and go by that. Seriously. I ate at 1200 calories and gained. I upped my calories and am now losing very nicely. You HAVE to eat or you'l mess up your metabolism, your hormones, and you will mess up your weight loss. Good luck to you!
-
Definitely eat those exercise calories back!! You're eating WAY too little. You should never eat less than your BMR. A good way to gauge how much you should eat is to figure out your TDEE then -20%. I was only eating 1200 calories (and eating back half of my exercise calories) and my weight loss stalled (even gained one…

I was 14 and started working (for pay) as a veterinarian assistant. Did all kinds of things from lab work to cleaning cages. I liked it but realized I didn't want to be a vet when I got older haha. Too boring! But I also had started babysitting at 12.

If you can find that article that would be great! I know all about peer reviewed scientific articles haha. I'm only allowed to use them for my master's level classes :-P

THIS sounds amazing!! I was wondering if the walmart brand was any good..Thanks for letting me know!!
-
That's fantastic!! Congratulations!
-
Oh my gosh...that sounds sooo good. I'm going to have to try that...
-
haha!! I know what you mean! My hubby keeps complaining I'm spending too much money on "special food" aka healthy food. He says I end up throwing it away, but I don't. How would he know? He's NEVER home!! Ok, done with my rant. Just frustrated with his lack of support.
-
I completely agree with you. I figured at 1.5 since I exercise usually 5 times a week (cardio for 45 min then weights for 30). It just seems like soooo much haha
-
Thank you!! I will try this!
-
hmmmm....hadn't thought about that. Thanks!
-
This? Not helpful.

I think I need to google how to make lentils taste good :-P I didn't realize they had so much protein....
-
I do eat a lot of fish; I actually have tilapia in my freezer right now!! While I'll eat a protein bar after I work out, I'm hesitant to eat it other times just because of the calories (around 200). I don't think I've ever had soybeans...I'll have to look into that! Unfortunately, I hate pinto beans, black beans, and…

Dole's frozen chocolate covered banana slices. Only 100 calories for a package, and it takes care of my chocolate cravings!

I definitely agree with everyone that you're not eating enough. Also, give it a month. I've been told it takes that long for your body to re-adjust. When upping your calories, I've also heard of people that put their scale away for 2 weeks. Personally, I was stuck but started to lose again once I upped my calories.
-
I had done weight watchers in the past and had some success. I started again 2 months ago and the first day I was STARVING. My sister-in-law told me I should just count calories....long story short, I put in MFP what I had ate that day. I had 3 points left over on weight watchers, not enough for much of anything, but on…

My daughter!

Sounds about right. Remember, it calculates your exercise already in. If you exercise very regularly, then take that number at eat at 80% of that, and theoretically you should lose weight. As a guy, 1600 is probably too low and that may have caused your plateau. I figured my TDEE for sedentary, eat at 80% of that and then…
-
Oh my gosh, this was seriously the funniest thing I've read in a while. But seriously....maybe you didn't calculate your TDEE right? Just take your birthmonth, divide it by 12, add your age, then hop on one leg. It worked for me!
-
Definitely!! I go to the Y as well and I feel sooo much better after! If it weren't for the childwatch there, trying to workout would be a nightmare. Plus, with all the equipment they have, I can change my workout up whenever I like and do strength training. I can tell a big difference when I don't get to go!
-
5'4"??? Oh my gosh...you look amazing!!
-
I belong to the Y, I walk at a few different local parks, and then I also do some DVDs/VCR tapes/ XBOX workouts at home.
-
You look amazing! Can I ask how tall you are? We weight the same, but you look sooooo skinny!! Congratulations!

So, I just happened to find this message board and figured why not? I'm 42 and have 4 great kids - ages 19, 16, 13, and 2. I have miscarried 5 times now, the last time 2 days ago. I wasn't nearly as far along as I was with the other ones (I was 6 wks 2 days, usually about 13 weeks), so it didn't hurt as badly. However,…

Sorry for your loss! I lost one this past August and had the same thing happen. I had a D&C, so I bled for about 7 weeks, then it took a long time for my cycle to straighten itself out again. I just got pregnant again last month (but I just now miscarried that one as well), so it took me 7 months about. But, everyone's…

I've done the same thing. Those little Totinos pizza? Used to be one serving for me. I know it's junky pizza, but it tastes good. Anyway, now, I eat a giant salad before hand so I eat maybe half a pizza now. Don't give up your favorites, just eat them in moderation!
