Yes & I have posted about it & got NO response. I'm doing the same thing & my scale just keep going UP. It is very discouraging and frustrating. Lots of people on here say to "eat back your exercise calories"...it works for some, but it did NOT work for ME personally. I have been taught by the 2 trainers I've worked with…

True...clothes almost NEVER fit the same! Back in '07 I weighed 290lbs....I got busy on my treadmill (ONLY) and in less than a year lost to 185 & I could actually wear a size 12, but 14 was more comfortable. After I got married two years ago, I gained a few back - more like 20...and weightwise I'm back down to where I was…

meee toooo!!

I've been doing this each day for about 4 weeks & so far I haven't noticed any "shredding". The last two weeks I've even done the first two levels one after the other. I don't get it! I'll keep doing it, but it's really frustrating. There is a bit more muscle tone I suppose, but no inches or pounds lost.

I have wondered about that too. I mean my trainer says "burn calories", not eat them back after you burn them? I just don't see how you are supposed to lose weight that way, but nevertheless that theory does not work for me either. You DO have to listen to your body. I got FAT by eating when I wasn't hungry & I never let…

Monday is my "weigh in" day, but I generally do step on the scale about every other day just to see how my body reacts...just like therealangd said. Most of the time I am AMAZED on Monday that there is an actual LOSS b/c the other times I step on the scale during the week - it's UP, UP, UP! but that's the way it's always…

That's great! That has never worked for me. Sometimes I think my body just works opposite of the way it should!! lol! If I do that - I gain BIG. This is my 3rd week on mfp & I've weighed in twice & lost 2.5 lbs both times, so I'm cool with that for now. I can't imagine eating that much on purpose! I would be a…

All but the first one look too skinny to me, but that's just me. :flowerforyou:

I'll go ahead & date myself here too, but mine was LOVERBOY...you know the one - with the *kitten* covered in red leather on the cover!! I bought while I was on vacay in TX at my aunt's house & I thought she was going to have a stroke when she saw that!! I believe I was about 10 or 11 at the time.

I'm Debbie from Little Rock AR. Nice to meet everyone!

I have PCOS & have for years & years, but just found out about Cinn supplements on this website thanks to someone else w/PCOS. I got the supplements & noticed a difference in my insulin levels almost immediately...I also don't CRAVE sugary/sweet stuff which is my biggest downfall. It's only been a few days, but it appears…

I had no idea there were so many women out there with PCOS! I've been dealing with it forever & that is the reason I was never able to have kids. My weight had gotten soooo out of control - all most 300lbs, but in 2007 I started exercising using only my treadmill for hours on end & I lost 112lbs.. I've gained about 25 of…

Yep..I got mine at WalMart in the section where they sell all the fitness stuff. You can also get them at other similar stores. Mine is just basic...no bells & whistles, you just set your age & sex and then set the timer when you are working out & there's something "magical" (lol!) inside that calulates the calories!! ha!!…

I finally had to buy a heart rate monitor so I could accurately (closer to accurate than anything on the list anyway) calculate my calories. They aren't that expensive & are easy to use. That's the only way I know to get an accurate count & from what I've been told the calories burned during any exercise is going to be…

I agree with ChaleGirl! For me it's KNOWING you are working your butt off burning those cals & eating healthy & you still see no change. I was more than off track for a couple of months, I'm back on it now & for the last few weeks NOTHIN'!!! It's frustrating for sure & it makes you think "why bother" even though you KNOW…

lost 112lbs. using my TREADMILL ONLY!

I'm Debbie & I'm new here too & lookin' for buddies to roll through this journey with! I'm 45...a great husband of 2.5 yrs & mommy to my furry kids - saylor, trucker & jake!! I've been up & down with weight since my late teens, but I've only got about 25lbs I WANT to lose and at this age - it AIN'T easy!! I'd love to have…

I have PCOS as well...I've never done anything to treat the insulin resistance & it has never been advised. I lost over 100lbs. about 3 yrs ago on my own w/just diet & TONS of exercise. I've gained 20 lbs since then & now I'm trying to get that off & it's going NOWHERE!!! If you don't mine my asking, what are you doing to…

I know that calories burned are overestimated, so I do only look at my HRM. Thanks a bunch for your answer!!

I wondered the same thing...I do a LOT of videos...lots of the Biggest Loser stuff & they work your butt off!! THere's not really anything listed there that works. I'll try to heart rate monitor thing!

I'm new too & can always use friends! Feel free to add me as well!!
