We all know a pound is a pound, nobody has questioned that. What the OP said was that muscle weighs more than fat, which is accurate. A handful of muscle weighs more than a handful of fat.

You both look fantastic, congratulations on a great job! And your son is adorable! I also got a mountain bike a few months back, and I love riding it on the trails. I just need more practice, as my balance is not all that good and I get scared of bouncing off the roots and go flying off the trail into the woods!

You are amazing! Just keep on going, I know you will get there!

Awesome! You're glowing with confidence and happiness!! Great job!

Excellent job!

If cooking is cardio, then I guess eating must be cardio too. I mean, you do have to move your hand back and forth to your mouth after all.

Yes! The Pecan, Pralines and Cream is to die for. Plus cheese.

I think it can, depending on the severity of the "slip". to put on 13 lbs in 7 weeks does not sound normal to me - are you sure about your calorie intake? It's easy to guess wrong if you are not weighing/measuring your food. If you ARE sure about that, then the next thing I would suspect is something wrong with your scale!

I know exactly what you're saying, but please don't be too hard on yourself - you are still beautiful!:flowerforyou: Good luck!

Me too! I'm hungry in the morning, no way I would skip breakfast. I don't eat breakfast at home though, I don't have time for that in the morning, I wait until I get to work and eat it at my desk.

Tinkr, you're a great inspiration! Don't let the negative people get to you. People who feel bad about themselves usually don't like facing other peoples' success... Misery loves company. If you can look like that after having 6(!!!) children, there's no reason I can't, too! :)

Damn girl - you look amazing! Congrats on job well done!

Duuuude!! Spectacular - great job!

Totally agree with the OP. Low-fat foods usually have higher carb content than the regular option.

Milk and pizza. My husband just shakes his head when I ask for milk with my pizza (not that I would dream of eating pizza, but if I did...:tongue: )

Totally! But before the cake, two bowls of ice cream

Tea is water too! I use the MIO flavors to add to my water, that is a big help, otherwise I wouldn't drink any water at all.

I can't run on a treadmill at all - for some reason I can't keep my balance. When I use a treadmill I can only walk - but walk very fast and uphill. To answer your question - yes, it may very well have to do with your breathing. You get more winded running than doing the elliptical.

Yep. This is what I would do too. You already know you can run the distance, so to do a better time, add interval training.

You look great, and very stylish!

The Saints I can't stand them

Too much carbs - cut down on sugar and alcohol for example.

Yes, I agree. It's reasonable to want to know that you both are on the same page, and want the same things from your lives. Otherwise you're just wasting your time. But you are both very young, and maybe it's just scary for him to think about.

You look so good, and you probably saved your life!

If someone grabbed me from behind, that would be the last thing he remembered when he wakes up again.

Is it possible he just wanted to chat with you? Maybe he's been checking you out for a while.

I always breathe in rythm with my steps when I run. Breathe out during two steps and in during two steps. Start out really slow and increase both your speed and distance slowly. Maybe run by yourself instead of with your boyfriend if he wants to run faster than you want.

I weigh and record it here every day. I just like to know exactly where I am and it seems to work for me. I think if I only weighed myself once a week, that would make it easier to cheat, because you'd have a week to catch up!

I use Mio - just a little squirt is enough to help me drink 6-8 glasses of water per day.

Exactly what I was going to write - couldn't agree more.
