I am down to help. I also need some motivation and support. I am trying to get back into this.

This is not just you feeling this way!!! I have been feeling the same way for a while. I am happy for them, but I am still kind of upset with myself that I am not losing like they are. I also feel bad because a lot of my "pals" are not motivating. I am trying to motivate them, saying how great they did, and other people…

I am feeling the same way. I did gret for months.. now over the last week, I have not worked out and have been eating poorly. Maybe we can help each other out.

I have decided that I am done with it. I am just setting myself up for failure in the long run. I am going to increase my protein and fresh veggies but still have my fruit and healthy carbs. Thanks all for that little bit of input I needed to get me in the right direction!

new rules of lifting for women.... LOVE IT!! I am just starting stage two. I have lost quite a bit of inches but I am looking more muscular.

Hello everyone!! I have been on mfp since February. I have los a few inches. I also do new rules of lifting for women. I just started stage 2 yesterday. My only thing now is, I need some help with motivation. Any helpful, encouraging people out there?

Thank you! I think I needed that motivation and that push in the right direction!

I am hope you are feeling better girlie!! Stay positive!!

So, I missed a few days. I am back now! Goals for 4/16/2012 1. Make better choices with my food. 2. Drink a lot of water 3. Weight lifting (last workout for stage one of New rules of lifting for women) 4. Stay off my foot as much as possible to heal.

good morning Morgan. Just stay with it. Track everyday and track EVERYTHING! Even if you have a bad day, track it. You can do it! Feel free to add me if you like.

Thank you so much for your help! I do not have insurance at the moment, so, seeing a Podiatrist is kind of tough. I do have a stationary bike, I am going to give that a try. Also, ice and stretches. The ball idea is great too. I will give that a try. Thank you so much!!

P90X Crunchy Frogs.... LOVE THEM!!!!

Check out New Rules of Lifting For Women.... I am losing fat in my thighs arms and love handles. I am also not bulking up.

Goals for 4/12 1) Stay under on sodium 2) Drink 10 glasses of water 3) Get my protein in 4) Take all of my vitamins We can do this guys!!!! :love:

1) Did my lifting 2) Walked 4.2 miles 3) Drank 9 glasses 5) Got 80% of protein There's room for improvement, but I'm happy!

ok. I will give it a try. Can't hurt right?!?! 4/11 Goals 1) Do my lifting session 2) Get some cardio in 3) atleast 10 glasses of water 4) Get in my protein ... ok, so I did four :)

I am still so confused. I am losing and I can see a difference in my body (I do New rules of lifting for women). However, I am supposed to be consuming 1690 cals on non work out days. I just added in my cardio and it says I have 2157 left to eat for the day, and thats after breakfast. I feel like a pig and I am not doing…

you were BEAUTIFUL before but you look so much happier and more confident. I want your bod :smile:

I once asked a similar question.. people looked at my diary and showed me that I was eating too many processed foods and to add more fresh fruits and veggies. Once I noticed that and admitted it, I began to cut out some of the processed and add fresh. I saw weight loss that week.

I think if you just keep moving, doing what you can when you can. Then start to add a little struggle into it.. make it a little harder each week or so. you will lose and it will be enough

Way to go girlie! How does it feel?

I can cross my legs properly when sitting... my inner thighs don't get in the way anymore :bigsmile: lol

I crossed my legs the other night and noticed that my inner thighs were not in the way of them crossing properly. lol

NSV- My legs cross easier when I cross them :laugh: lol CW- 195 GW-150 4/3 4/10 4/17 4/24

My boyfriend can always tell by looking at me when it is coming.. haha. I tend to get really bloated and retain water. If I weigh myself it is usually around a 3-5 lb difference. I usually lose it after it is over though. To stop or prevent it, I take Diurex or drink red wine vinegar shots the week before to prevent the…

I agree with everyone on here. I have an 8 and 11 year old. They usually want to eat the healthy food too but also still like their junk food.. I buy enough healthy food for them to eat too and a little less of the junk so they become the forbidden...Maybe try that

I do have thyroid issues.. I only have half of mine. Tank you for the input on that.... I was not aware!

Thank you so much to all of you!!!! I did just measure myself... it turns out I have lost about 6 inches over my body. Also, I looked at my diary as well, and I did notice all of the comments you were saying were true. I will try to track better and lower my sodium. I do drink about 120 oz of water per day. Is that enough?…

Thanks guys.. I will open my diary for you :)

That is an awesome way to look at it! I like to just think about today and log all my food for the day right after breakfast so that if at some point I get hungry, I know how many calories I can have at my snacks and I don't ruin it. When I go a little ove,r I decide that it is not a big deal that It is just today.. but…
