  • For those who asked, I’m 5’5”, 231 current, 38 BMI. Pre-pregnancy 235, delivery @ 242, post partum low @220. Thanks for the protein advice. I’m only 10 weeks out so I’m trying to get infront on this before I put on even more.
  • I drink the regular chocolate Shakeology, blended with a ton of ice (I like being able to crunch through ice as a I drink a protein shake, it helps me with the texture) and 3/4 c. of a frozen banana. I'd take any times for the vegan strawberry though. That one was special.
  • Hi all! My name is Bree. I just joined in. I've been doing T25 on my own and was looking for a group to keep me accountable and motivated. I'm 1 year post-baby and want to get in shape to keep up with the little mover. I've got a huge goal ahead of me and love doing the Cardio workout. AB intervals kills me, I'm looking…
  • I'm 15st and am meeting with a new dr. this month to check on PCOS. I've sent you a friend request. Hopefully we can help each other meet our goals.
  • I think a lot of it depends on your starting size/weight. If you look at a few people on the biggest loser, they deal with loose skin particularly with their arms. I know that people like Jillian Michaels, Jennifer Hudson, and Stacey London have been overweight and look pretty fantastic now. I don't believe any of them…
  • If you can't run, speed walk. I have a hard time running, both because of asthma and lack of endurance/ focus. However, I really like the couch to 5k program. You run and walk in set intervals. Modify things to fit your needs. I just started doing Zumba fitness a few weeks ago, and it's the first thing that my body really…
  • Sundays are my crazy day between picking my hubby up from the airport , church and homework. It's my rest day. I'm going to be doing 30DS 5 or 6 days a week plus extra cardio. It's important to have a rest day every now and then to let the muscles rest so they can build up.
  • I just bought the dvd today, plus a mat. What type of free weights do you recommend? is it better to start with 3 lbs ones and work up to 5 lb ones?
  • I know that I when I first joined MFP back in March I weighed 181. But I stopped logging in, and only started up again 8 days ago. Last week I weighed in at 191, it reset me back to 0 lbs lost. In the last week I've lost 5 lbs, but MFP still lists total weight lost at 0 lbs. It put the loss in my feed, but isn't recorded…
  • I just started back up 8 days ago and for the first few days it didn't seem like I was losing anything. It was hard to keep late night snacking in check (I've been up late with loads of homework), along with a few other eating habits. I was talking with my doctor yesterday and he said not to expect to change all habits…
  • I'm 24, am a full time student going to school for elementary education with a dual immersion (spanish) minor. I just got married in June to my best friend. I'm having a hard time buttoning my pants after being able to go down a size last year. My ultimate goal is to be small enough that my hubby can give me a piggyback…
  • Today I was able to walk up the massive hill to campus without slowing or huffing and puffing. It felt fantastic!
  • Developing self control is a major part of not only getting fit, but gaining a healthy lifestyle. I'm working on this myself. I've tried to loss weight with some success and then had lulls. Identify your triggers for emotional eating. Knowing what sends you to the fridge for your comfort food will help you know why you're…
  • I'm almost there!
  • Oh! I'm so excited to get my bountiful basket saturday! I had a greek chicken wrap, it was so good, and pretty guiltless.
  • I just started on monday. I'm looking for friends too. I'm wanting to stay accountable and motivated. I've previously lost 30 pounds and finally left the obese BMI. I know how exciting that is so congrats!! I'm looking to lose 40 more to get healthy, so i can fully enjoy life. Feel free to add me.
