I just started Slim Fast again. I'm a teacher and a mom of Jr. High kids so the beginning of the school year is crazy for us. My diet suffers due to the stress and chaos. We are on the go a lot through the year with sports so I usually get tired of worrying about calories and eat fast food in the car on the way to whatever…

I'm an individual aide in an elementary school, my student has Autism and is going into 5th grade and I've been with her since her 1st grade year! I love what I do! I'm also hypothyroid, probably Hashimoto's but my doc doesn't like extra testing unless absolutely necessary and I'm okay with that. I'm just getting started…

I'm looking for active MFP users too! My local friends aren't using the app anymore so I'm all alone on my news feed! I need to see others working and succeeding! I'm "starting over" today and have about 60 lbs I'd like to lose. I'm 5' 7" and 60 lbs will get me back to my weight when I got married in 2007 so I feel like…

Can I enter this thread? :) I started Jillian's Ripped in 30 on 01/20/2014 along with Elliptical training and I successfully completed the first two weeks before hitting a wall. I only lost 2 pounds but I lost 12 inches in those 2 weeks. I think hormones were the cause of me falling back into bad habits and I am trying to…

This is perfect and I completely agree! It makes me so angry to see people criticize her for losing "too much". It was enough to win and that's what the true competitor in her wanted. She was an athlete when she started the competition and I am sure she will start to build muscle and start to look more like an athlete very…

This is perfect! The scale doesn't really move for me either but I'm losing inches. Forget the scale, take measurements, compare before and during photos and get support from others! I like to use positive imagery too, like when I am doing an exercise where I can close my eyes, I picture myself the way I want to look…

Bump. I am going to try the probiotics first and then refer back to this thread if that doesn't take care of it!

This is a long reply but this is such a problem for so many moms out there and maybe something here will help someone. I may not be the best source for advice since I have jumped onto this wagon AND fallen off MANY times. :) However, I completely understand where you are coming from. I have the added benefit of being a…

Wow, you asked the exact same question that's been bothering me for a couple of days! Severe sinus infection, antibiotics and Prednisone for 10 days. I feel like crap and can't work out, my usual workout, because my head feels like it's going to explode when I bend over. I was stupid and weighed myself this morning only to…

I typically only do workout videos followed sometimes by additional time on the elliptical. It's more convenient for me and if it's not convenient, I won't do it! :) Someday I may decide to start a running or biking program but for now, the videos are my go-to. I love Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. It was pretty cheap…

I'm 5' 7" and according to wrist measurements I have a small frame, which surprised me! I have broad shoulders, small waist and wide hips so I guess hourglass would describe my type. I have a very small chest too so my UGW is around 130. I've been there before but didn't have much muscle and I would like to be stronger…

Thank you! I'll try to remember that when I weigh in on Thursday. At least my hormonal day happens on Friday and I weigh in on Thursday. ;) I have at least 5 days to make up for it!

I've got almost 2 awesome weeks (7 lbs lost) on MFP in and today is my hormonal day. I'm craving crap and I can't help it. I did my usual workout today and a little extra and all it did was leave me drained of energy, aching in my back and HUNGRY. It sucks to have complete control for the entire month and then lose it for…
