I of course mean YAY!

Way for baby making! I stopped the pill in january, the doc told me to stop a few months before we start TTC. My last fi al is may 17 and the week after is my estimated ovulation :-) i hope to get pregnant right away. I know i won't lose another 40 pounds in 2 months but i will continue to lose as much as possible and stay…

I have heard a lot of people on here say that they hit a plateau and then increase their calorie intake and BAM the weight comes off again. I don't understand the complete science behind it but your body needs a certain amount of calories per day and as you get closer to your goal weight that calorie intake increases. And…

I don't take protein supplement but i do take an omega supplment and it has 70 calories per serving. I count those calories because to me a calorie is a calorie. Some gym nut heads ( like that not-nice guy you encountered) take protein supplments to bulk up. I would count the calories but may i ask why you take a protein…

There are so many nice trails by my house in el cajon. We went today right before it started raining. Our pup loved it! We had a great time and didn't even feel like i was burning caloried but 2 hours and over 800 calories burned, awesome day!

If i am ever on that side of the country i will definitely contact you for an adventure. The invitation stands for you as well, if you are ever in so cal

It is ok to have un satisfactory eating days. As long as you get back on track. I think you will be fine.

You should always eat your exercise calories. Say for imstance you are on 1200 net calories. If you burn 500 calories with exercise then you need to eat 500 more calories to make the net of 1200 calories. At 500 calories burned you should eat 1700 calories. 1700 calories eaten - 500 calories bruned = 1200 calories net.…

thanks everyone! it still amazes me and i am a bit reluctant still because my weight loss has been successful thus far. i will continue to use the HRM and see how it goes with eating more (since now i know i am burning more than i thought) hopefully the weight continues to come off

a lot of people vouch for the validity of the polar ft4!!! awesome. i think i will underestimate just a little to keep myself in check. also some pedometers track distance. check them out on amazon and read the reviews. thanks everyone!!

i hate it when skinny girls use equipment with blank looks on their face, it is like they aren't even trying to get a burn. or when big people use the treadmill and power walk with no incline, it is like honestly, put the incline up a little bit and you will burn so many more calories. ooh and highschool girls that have no…

i buy seasonal fruit and veggies. i tried buying in bulk however things go bad too quickly since it is just me and my husband. we don't go out to eat as much which is helping off set the cost a little but we never really went out a lot to begin with. i just wish i could buy food and not have to worry about costs.

2 sizes?! that is awesome and such a huge accomplishment!!

highest achievement

meaning you are not dumb!!! congrats!!!

you used "you're" congratulations for not using "your"

i was thinking about this today as well! i am almost at 10 lbs lost in 1 month and i still have a lot to go. is the next ten more difficult? will i hit a slump like i have heard others do? what a coincidence that you posted this. curious to see what others have to say

for road trips i like to dice up some watermelon and keep in a tupperware on the center console with a fork. it will keep you hydrated too! but for salty cravings try granola, various nuts, etc.

i weigh myself at the gym 6 days a week. once before i start working out and then once before i leave for home. i only record weights from friday's weigh ins. weighing myself often during the week is almost like i am watching the weight fall off! very motivating

You look incredible for your age! Wow, kudos to you!!!

Everyone has a first time so don't worry about not doing things right. It will get easier the more you go. My gym has a big window into the group classes. I watched one week and the next week i was doing zumba!! I had no clue what i was doing. Ask the people at the front desk about classes and what you should bring.

Marine biology major here!!!!!! Oh yeah, graduating may 2012. Taking my last two classes ever!! Phycology - study of algae and molecular cell biology - study of cells. Can't wait to be finished!!!!

Another excellent explaination! Thank you. Lol, i could have googled it myself but i figured others had the same question. Yay to MFP nerds!!

This is exactly the answer i was looking for!!! Thank you so much. As a science major inlike tangible, visual information and this definitely does it.

Interesting. Never thought of using wood burning as a metaphor but it fits. But in both wood burning and fat loss it still boggles me that the mass before and after are so different. The "ashes" being expelled weighs less than the "wood" being burned. So all of it can't be pooped and peed out? As a science major you would…

You may not feel the difference but you certainly can see a difference. Congratulations! Nearly 30 pounds in two months is a lot to lose. Be careful you're not losing too fast.
