Fantastic!!

well, I'd start with the fact that you're a new runner and running 5-6 days a week. Your body (and knees) simply aren't used to the running. When you first start running, you need to give your body a day between each running day (so, running every second day, and do something else on the in between days). Ice your knees,…

I would start by tracking more consistently. There are days where you've only logged 600 or 900 calories, which leaves me wondering what you've forgotten to log. Second, you need to adjust your expectations. This takes time. And isn't it more important that your clothes are fitting looser? The number on the scale isn't…

A good quality, properly fitting sports bra will be enough. You shouldn't have to double up - if you do, it's the wrong bra for you. Anyone who tells you otherwise, hasn't made the effort to find the right bra. There are several brands that are great for average busts, and a few that are fantastic for the more well…

I remember that it's one day. I pick myself up, dust myself off, and resolve to plan better the next day. No one is perfect in this. The key to losing weight is having more days on target than days that you go over. You've got this.

I can't figure out why on earth you wouldn't?

Why on earth would this be a place of judgement? This is not a multi-interest website, we are all on here for the same reason. We're either over weight, or started out over weight and have reached our goal. Just because some have achieved success does not mean you can now judge others who aren't there yet. For those who…

Yeah, I'm going to have to second the comment about carbs. Nothing wrong with carbs, but you will feel full for longer if you have more balanced meals. Fat and protein take longer to digest than carbs do, leaving you feeling full for longer.

shhhh... the OQLF is watching

a couple of possibilities: - are you sure you're eating enough? Under eating can make you feel like you have no energy - it could be the season. For me, I find that in the winter, I'm sluggish, and I just want to hibernate. My energy levels improve when the weather does - how is the balance of your macros? I find that in…

The best workout to start with is any workout that will get you moving more than you do now. A lot of people like to start by adding walks. It gets you moving, it's low-impact, and it's free. Swimming is also a great starting place. I started out with just walking and once I felt that had gotten easy, I added other things.…

probably says that so people don't think it's a 'meal-replacement' shake

that's a lot of restrictions. I'm assuming its allergies? how are you with nuts and/or peanuts? They are good for you and pack a lot of calories in a small amount of food. Are you able to meet with a dietician for a meal plan?

Fantastic! Congratulations! These are my favorite type of success stories. Love hearing that people are able to reduce or stop medication.

the only thing is cleanses is your wallet. They are a marketing scam.

nope. utter nonsense.

No.

I would also recommend trying a few different flavors. Some people really prefer the fruit flavors, and some people find them sickening (the fruit flavors make me feel like I will retch). I prefer the less-sweet flavors (like peanut butter, for example)

How tall are you? It's possible that 118 may not be a reasonable goal. But from the picture on the left, I don't think you need to lose any further.

I lost my first 25 with no exercise. At that point, I then felt that I could start doing a little walking, so I did, and eventually that lead to other things. Concentrate on your nutrition (make sure you get the variety of nutrients your body will need for healing), use a food scale so you have a more accurate tracking of…

Maybe if you'd stop judging others, they'll stop judging you.

You're going places, OP. Good luck!!

Jo, do you *ever* post in a thread without seeking attention with your photos?

I live somewhere where it truly is too cold sometimes (-30 windchill), so I get that you would like to stay inside. Good for you for looking for an alternative, and deciding to not let the weather stop you from exercising (don't let mother nature win that one!) BeFit channel on Youtube has a ton of free videos,…

Properly fitted running shoes are the only essential. The rest, you either discover very quickly (oh hey, I need a more supportive bra), or develop preferences through experience. Moisture wicking socks are an inexpensive and wonderful thing to get, though. Cotton socks will make most runners get blisters. Some runners…

no one can accurately answer that question for you. But if you push yourself to do a little more each day than you could do the day before (walk a little further, or walk a little faster), it will improve.

- that doesn't sound like there's anything wrong at all. With so little to lose, you aren't likely to lose faster than that. - when you start a new exercise regimen (not regime), your body will retain water for muscle repair, for a while. That settles out over a few weeks. - why are you working out twice a day? Sounds like…
