Yep! I have been on my weight loss journey for awhile now. My legs, with the exception of the very top and my face have lost the most as far as looks go, but my inches seem to show different. My last sweat camp class instructor took measurements before the class and I lost .5 inches in 6 weeks on every area measured BUT my…

1. not being able to wear my favorite jeans anymore because my husband said "you need some new jeans, those are way too baggy" 2. going to my sons graduation and not being able to fit into any of my dress clothes! 3. not being afraid to be in front of a camera! that is a new one and the source of my profile picture! I was…

I love my Polar7 and love it! it is right on with calories! It is amazing to see how much you burn~ Good job!!
-
Dont let anyone stop you from these exercise because you have pain in the knees, your knees are going to hurt! my knees hurt at first too. It may be because of a couple of things. Really watch your knees as you do squats and other things that your knee is bent. The knee should never go over your foot!! It is harder to do…

I am about 5'10 and once weighed 198, now am 168. I have lost 20lbs since being on here, but lost 10 lbs before I was on here. I am stuck at 168-170.

look at those muscles in your arms in your profile! wow! nice! you look amazing and are such an inspiration!

I used (and still use) my fit bit from day one here. It really helped me get my butt moving through the day. I am a healthcare worker and thought I moved around a lot more than I actually was. So from then on, when I had a slow time I went walking the hallways or stairs. I started taking a boot camp like class and realized…
-
oh yeah, and watch your technique too! as you get stronger and are able to keep correct form you will not have as much of a stress injury.
-
as the poster above said..."in a couple of weeks the workouts you are NOW doing wont feel like hell anymore" BUT BUT BUT!! you want to feel that burn--that means you are getting stronger and making those muscles react! that is a good thing! NOT PAIN...but burn and ache. You have to learn how to love those aches, it means…

MFP does not seperate "good sugar from bad sugar" fruit sugar is not bad. Table sugar is bad, if the words "sugar, dextrose, glucose etc are in the ingredients than it counts! remove it from your list if you are eating fruit and yogurt if it does not have the words, sugar, dextrose etc on the label.
-
I lost fast in the begining and then I stall for a month or so then I go back down. You have to mix it up and get that protein. MFP protein levels are LOW!! I always go over in protein and of course sugar-because I eat fruit and yogurt and MFP does not break down bad sugar (table sugar) from good sugar (fruits etc). I…

That is a wonderful reply! BUT also remember when starting that a 7 min mile and a 14 min mile are STILL A MILE! dont worry so much about your speed. that killed me at first, trying to run and be good at it! But hey, once I started just barely moving faster, I got a lot further and ran a lot longer. As time when by I was…

Take this advice from me....a person that has tried literally everything!!!! shakes, pills, hypnosis!! BUT until you learn how to eat real food and move, nothing will KEEP the weight off. I SOOOO wanted everything I tried to work. But those things always backfire and as soon as I ate regular again I would gain it back and…

I have had my fitbit for 6 months and it really showed me how inactive I was during the day. The HRM is to be used just for working out. The fit bit is on all day and night. The fit bit made me more aware at work that I needed to get up when I took a break and walk up the stairs or walk around the building. Soon 4 of us at…

I log every single thing! even on bad days, no use in hiding it...its not hiding on my body!
-
a 7 min mile or a 14 min mile is still a mile. Dont worry about the time, do the distance. You only have to work past the voices in your head that say "Stop, your dying" or "Stop you cant breath". I do anywhere from 3 to 12 miles a day about 5 days a week, sometimes 6 days. I just started sprints up hill today and am…
-
I used to put on about 7, but now after about 90 days of weight loss and working out it seems like I have only gained about 2 lbs this go around. But I sure FEEL it!
-
Cutie pie! nice!
-
YES YES YES!! BUT! I recommend that you go to somewhere like "Famous Footwear" or other store that has TONS of shoes and bring all the ones in your size down and try EACH and every one on! That is the only way I could do it. Every persons feet are different. try on both shoes, walk around and even run a bit (behind the…

It will get better and you will be able to wean yourself off as you lean to "read" your food. You will know when you have eaten too much or that you need to burn a little bit more that day as you get further into your normal. You have changed your way of life and your way of thinking to a healthy one. Food is fuel yes, but…

The first problem we all seem to have is the hell we put ourselves though for those 2 or 3....hell, even 7lbs we seem to play around with every month. We work so hard to hit a goal and then watch it disappear overnight. Myself and a good friend are doing this together and we have watched our weight go up and down like the…

you can add me on fitbit if you like. You will need to enter an email to add people. Mine is laurahubka@gmail.com

The fit bit adds in your BMR calories for the day. My BMR says I will burn 1500 calories just being alive. So as the day goes along it adds those calories in. It will add your steps and activity in as the day goes along too. I know it motivates me to move my butt! Since starting in Feb I have lost 17lbs using it and using…

I used to get crazy when I would eat more than I thought I should for a day. Then I realized that I really did need to eat more to lose! Everyone kept saying it on here, so I tired it and now just started to move the scale down after a plateau that lasted 2 weeks. So, I moved on and when I feel really hungry I EAT, I just…

Complete Nutrition "SMART Smoothie" in Vanilla. I mix 8oz of Trop50 orange juice for 21 grams of protein to start my day!
-
I also suffer with disc problems in my low back and neck. When I exercise it does make it feel better. I make sure I stretch afterwords for at least as long as I was exercising. It is up to the person and their tolerance. I would recommend core strength as well as it is the abd muscles and the psoas muscles that help that…
-
absolutely amazing!!
-
you are being paranoid! if you dont go over, you dont go over. Stay within the parameters and you are ok. NOTE: MFP does NOT give you enough protein so go over that AND MFP does not break down the sugars so you can easily go over with healthy stuff, so I do not even look at that! It is so hard not to concentrate on what we…
-
I have tried it both ways, with and without pills. The pill solution always brings the weight back when you quit. The LONG and tough truth is that it takes time. TIME TIME TIME. that is the hardest thing to learn and know about weight loss that lasts. Move and get yourself some weights! keep up the good work! Make friends…

this place has the greatest support system! no worries add me~! I know that kids can be a hard and draining process on weight loss.
