I'm in too. 157 this morning, a 2.5 pound gain over Christmas and New Years, not bad:) See ya next Monday.

I don't like to workout after I eat so I eat after. I might grab some nuts or a banana on the way to the gym but breakfast when I get home.

It can help you measure calories burned and intensity of workout. Not required but after a while you start to want t know a bit more about how hard you are working. You can do the same workout with very different results, depends on how much you are putting into it.

try acupuncture, does wonders for back pain. Otherwise anything that doesn't strain the back, walking, bike, etc.

It is not uncommon to feel alone when you are a stay at home mom of small children. Have you considered taking your boys to play groups or a toy lending library to meet other moms like you? You may feel that other moms are judging you but it may be you judging yourself. Make the first effort and you may find some great…

This is a great site to help you. Good luck:)

It sounds like it could be tension type headaches. If you wake with them it may be related to your pillow height. Try to have a fairly straight line between your neck and back when you sleep and this puts less tension on your neck muscles.

The same again this week. Won't make the ten pounds but still holding pretty steady at this time of year is pretty good.

Still 154 this week.

154 this week! Finally made some progress:)

I am in Alberta. Love this site.

Well this is a very helpful and supportive site. Good luck.

No change again this week. I am stuck but hope to see some change soon. Working out hard and mixing up my cals to see if that helps. Have a great week all.

Welcome and friend me if you like. Love the app and the site.

I do think that you can "bank" some calories. Don't make a habit of it though, it soon becomes always in the negative.

I am glad you have made a start. We know that weight loss can really help your health and just make you feel better so great job. You need to be committed to watching your calories and being honest with yourself. This is a very supportive and informative environment and if you make use of it you will do great. Good luck!

I think that you should lose weight gradually because what you are really trying to do is teach yourself better lifetime eating habits. You may be able to lose weight fast for about six months but if you quit eating healthy you will gain it all back. The key to sustained weight loss is lifetime, lifestyle change.

157 again this morning:( no change.

I think the greatest thing about this site is you can eat anything you want. I choose not to eat some things because of the calories but I am not forbidden to eat them. If I know I am going to a function I try and exercise more so I have more calories to play with. If you stick with it it will keep you honest and you will…

You are doing great. The thing about exercise is that the more you do the more you can, and want to, do. You keep adding to the intensity until you are burning hundreds of calories a session. When I started I could not have ran on the treadmill for ten minutes at 5 mph now I run 40 minutes at 6 mph regularly. Keep walking…

Weight the same as last week 157.

It is a great workout but not much cardio. Be sure to follow a diet because you don't burn enough calories with the workouts alone. They are aimed more at building muscle and toning than at weight loss.

Feel free to add me. I have been eating well and working out for about 18 months with some good changes but have really noticed a drastic change since I started logging everything on my iphone. Surprising how much more you are eating than you think you are! Good luck!

Great job! Keep up the good work.

It is a great accomplishment! We all started one day at a time and one day will turn into many. Keep up the great work!

As far as weight loss is concerned, a calorie is a calorie. They all count the same towards pounds gained or lost. The reason I would be more concerned with good vs bad is that you are trying to make a lifestyle so you don't gain all the weight back. The best way to do this is to choose healthy, low calorie foods that you…

Any of the Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper DVDs will give you a good workout. They have quite a few and they are all pretty hard work.

How do you normally figure out your calorie burn? It is really about how hard you are working and your heart rate. For that many calories you would have needed to be working pretty hard for the whole time. I burn that much running for 40 minutes. But again, all about how hard your heart is working.

I was away so didn't weigh in at all last week. Weight this Friday was 157.

Lululemon makes a very good sports bra. It's called the Ta Ta Tamer, lol.
