Have you checked the bathrooms? The planet fitness I use to belong to had 2 in the bathroom.

I am the exact opposite, if I drink I can go to sleep just fine but I am constantly waking up or have restless sleep even if I drink a glass or two of wine or have a bottle or two of beer - and then I wake up feeling unrested etc. I get a lot better sleep if I do not have any caffinee or alcohol. When I first started on…

I do 30 mins on the Arc Trainer, sort of like the ellipitical but it burns more calories and lighter on the knees. For my at 140 lbs it will burn anywhere from 300-400 calories in those 3 mins depending on which exercise I do and the intensity! I absoultely love that machine, it's what I do every single time I go for my…

I would show your mom these post to help with your argument...maybe it will make her understand the importance to some people that they want the nurtritional information. But like others have said if she doesn't own a chain resturant her food and ingredients are probably of better quality anyways which would make me want…

As long as the information is available online I really don't see it as an issue. I know that if I am wanting to go somewhere and it doesn't have nutritional information available I will still go there and eat but I will try and pick what I feel is the healthier options by reading what is included in the meal. If it was…

I would have to agree with the getting new clothes, luckily I saved a lot of clothes so there aren't too many things I need replaced. I only gained 20 lbs and that has been within about a 3 year time period. So it's not like I need a whole new wardrope but there are definitely things I need to replace and get, for instance…

Sounds delish! Thanks for sharing!

Sent you a message! We are pretty close! Age: 27 5'6 SW: 158 lbs CW: 140 lbs GW: 135 lbs UGW: 130 lbs Small bust with bigger hips and thighs also! Definitely a pear shape! Never will I have that "thigh gap" everyone is always trying to achieve :-)

If it's late in the evening and you still have calories, then do not fill guilty about eating, especially if you are hungry. Even though it was weight watchers, I think it would be best to stick with fruits or nuts. Maybe even try low calorie foods such as cucumber slices, watermelons, celery, etc

Dr. Oz has smoothie receipes to drink right before bed to help boast your metabolizm while you sleep, and most smoothies are 100+ calories, even though these are all fruit and healthy calories, they are still calories so I do not think your theory is accuarte! And Seventeen magazine not publishing anything that isn't…

Thanks for sharing this definitely helps and makes a lot of sense. I never thought of the muscle soreness resulting in fluid retention but as soon as I started reading this article and I knew exactly where it was going and I'm like your body must retain fluid when the muscles are sore, ofcourse why didn't I think of that…

I haven't really kept track to see how accurate it is. Under the food notes though I will make a note of what my current weight is and what it says I will be in 5 weeks, so that I can see how it changes daily from the food choices I am making. I use it more of a guideline then anything, for instance if I want to be down 5…

I wish I could meet with a trainer at the PF that I go to, but when I checked into it at my PF they were "group training sessions" for each area of the body so if I wanted a session for arms and legs I would have to make 2 different appointments and the appointment times are only from 7am-4pm Monday through Friday and so…

What?!? We don't have an ab room at the PF I go to. All we have is the tanning bed room lol, 30 min circuit training room (which I have never used either), and the loft area for stretching and exercise mat/balls. There are about 3 different ab machines at the PF I go to but they are mixed in which the leg machines. I wish…

I absoultely LOVED CRUNCH (DVD Series) Belly, Butt and Thigh Bootcamp. If you have netflix you can get it through netflix and that way you don't have to waste anymore money or if you know somebody that has Netflix maybe they can rent it for you and let you check it out! It is about 40-45 mins long but there is differenent…

Thanks guys for all these great ideas, some of them I have done before in the past and for whatever reason forgot all about them and so I am definitely going to be adding them to my workout along with trying the brazilian butt lifting workout (I have heard people talk about that and seem to get good results) and also check…

Would love to join you guys! Always up for a good group for motivation and meeting new inspiring friends! Thanks

My goals are to be able to get into a bikini and feel great and not like I am the fat girl stuffing herself into a two piece with my muffin top and everything else hanging out! -getting there and as long as I keep up my habits now I will get therr by lake season next month Get toned and have less excess skin and fat in the…

For some reason the face is always the first to show I think. I just hit my 15 lbs lost when I weighed myself yesterday and as I can see some changes in my body, its the most noticable in my face. Keep up the hard work and you will get there. There are times I feel discougared too because my stomach is where I want to lose…

I have set everything to MFP for BMR and also went to this website that a lot of people on here refer to http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ and have calculated my numbers based on that, and I set MFP calorie intake to what their recommendations were. I also started taking my measurements of my waist, arms, hips, etc…

I hate how everything that is sugar free has aspertaine or some other type of artifical sweetener in it. I absoultely REFUSE to consume anything with aspertaine in it. I don't even know why it's on the market, it so bad for you in sooooooo many worse ways then sugar is. Sugar wise though as long as you aren't eating…

One of my favorites and I know it probably will sound gross and I was very hesitant to try it at first but I actually have grown to love this smooothie for breakfast.... Green Peanut Butter and Banana 1 sliced frozen banana (I will peel and slice a banana the night before and stick it in the freeze overnight) 1 cup greek…

I weigh myself every Sunday, it gives me the chance to go a week without obsessing over the number and it gives me a fresh new goal for the week, if the scale hasn't moved from the week before my goal for that week is to exercise more or think of what I did the week before that I can eliminate or change (for ex: I ate out…

I would love to, but I am bound and determined to get down 10 more lbs by May, and I also at the point where I need to increase my calorie intake since I am working out a lot more so I need the scale to make sure that the increase calorie is working or not working.

I am so glad you posted this, is was one of the most helpful articles I have read about plateauing and I am definitely bookmarking so I can refer back to this should I hit a plateau I will know what to change and what to try and have an understanding as to why I am changing what I am.

I'm game! I have my last 10lbs to lose and my goal was to be down yo my goal weight by May or the first trip to the lake in our boat which is usally middle of May, so here is goodbye to my last 10lbs. We've got this, I've got this so let's go!

Love this....so true! You can only whine and complain if you've out in the hard work and dedication! Don't complain if you haven't done anything to make it better or change! I will not listen or feel sorry for you! Eating healthy isnt as hard as you think if you have the right mind set!

My most FAMOUS excuse was.... "It's too cold out and crappy weather to take the dog on a long walk or go jogging, I'll start my daily excusing again in the Spring!"-well you know how much added lbs can be added between now and then and then come Spring you know your excuse will be it's too hot I'll wait until it's a cooler…

I saw one photo shot that was a trash the dress and it was really cute and fun I though, they had brought in 2 twin girls and had a chocolate fountain with fruit and they had the bride eating a chocolate covered strawberry with chocolate dripping off onto the dress and then the 2 kids were running around with sticks (kabob…

If it last more then a few days I would definitely consult with a doctor. Like somebody said above it could be a tear or even a strain in your rotary cuff muscles (there are 4 of them) and those are not something to mess around with, especially if you need surgrey. My mother in law tore part of her rotary cuff last year…
