I've noticed this too, many times over many years. I'd start working out in order to lose weight and the first thing that would happen is I would GAIN 2-3 lbs. It really bothered me at first but after going through this cycle a few times, I've come to expect it. If you stick w/ it, it turns around eventually. Depends…

If it's just getting winded, then that will improve w/ time. You also mentioned knees and I think Sue had a point. Not all ellipticals are created equal. Different stride lengths, footpad widths, etc. You may want to try moving your feet & arms to different positions to get the most comfortable positions (probably…

Hi Krystle. Welcome to the group. Since you asked, I'll throw in my two cents. Motivation is a tricky thing. Seems to come in fits & starts for me, but I have found some things that seem to help me with it. I'm coming to believe that those things are different for all of us and it's up to each of us find out which ones…

Funny, I made stuffed bell peppers last night! Similar to yours but I hadn't thought of adding brown rice to the ground turkey. I made the bell peppers w/ an Italian tomato based sauce. I also made some fajita style shredded chicken and low-fat cheese and stuffed two large mild chili peppers.

Funny I was just looking for some different ideas myself! Here's my easy Egg White Omelet. I make 3 or 4 at a time since I've got all the stuff out anyway and then put in fridge in some tupperware and just take one out and nuke it in the AM. They keep 4-5 days easily. 1/2 cup All-Whites egg whites, 2oz Honeysuckle White…

Yo J How's it goin? I had a mixed couple of weeks. I was VERY good Week 1 and dropped about 5 lbs. So then I congratulated myself the next two days after the weekly weigh-in and promptly put almost all of it back on!!! Grrrrrrrr. Got back on the bike (figuratively & literally) the rest of the week. Looks like I'll weigh-in…

Hi Jason, Good for you. I just restarted here last week. I did it two years ago and was amazed at how much easier it was to drop some LB's just by being truly aware of what & how much you're eating. (notice I said "easier" not "easy"!) It really does make a difference in your choices. Do your best and don't kick yourself…

Hi Columbiana, Sounds like a gret trip. I'm jealous. One thing that may not be on the normal vacation itinerary is just trying to up your exercise while there to compensate for the indulgences. Not something you really want to think about for a vacation, but it sounds like you love food as much as I do, especially getting…
