You should be trying to gain a few pounds. You are underweight!

Count me in!

People are actually laughing at you? That is horrible. These people need to realize that not everyone is born to be blessed with great genetics. I know it takes a lot of hard work and dedication too but they should realize you are at least trying. Don't let them get you down. Do you happen to have a Curves gym in your…

I had the same thing happened to me yesterday but then I weighed myself this morning and the 3 lbs that the scale showed I gained in one day was gone plus one more pound. Definitely water weight no matter what people say. If you had a higher sodium day or whatever the case may be this can happen. It is not physically…

I was simply trying to state that 1200 isn't the "magic number" that you have to stay above. It is different for everyone. People will still continue to lose if they go below it. Starvation mode is talked about on here daily. Its a crock.

I know the feeling. I started back about a month ago after joining the gym. I have not lost a pound or an inch. I originally lost 29 lbs. Gained 20 back so I know it is possible. I am not sure why I am not losing this time. Last year in March when I started it came off fast. After a month of working out and watching my…

Thanks for all of the responses. I have a lot of weight to lose so I am hoping to do both. Lose and tone/sculpt.

Have you noticed a weight loss or more so inches/body changing etc? I know they are both good but I am wondering what to expect

Will do. Thank you.

I am interested to hear the replys on this!! I also just joined the gym and I dont know what to do with half of the machines. I end up doing treadmill and the bike and a few of the ab and leg machines that have directions :)

Thanks! And you are right....people really can be mean spirited on here. I have been on MFP for almost a year and have only posted a few things for this exact reason. So easy to be an assmuch on here when they dont have to say it to your face. I was simply asking if people have had breaks that did not swell or bruise much.…

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it. I just made an appt for the doc. Hopefully just a sprain

um wow??? I was just basically asking if anyone had similar experience and if it turned out broke or if it could be broke if not swollen but thanks for the awesome answer.

yeah thats what I hear. I may just have to go if its not better by tomorrow

I was searching threads about this today because I am gonig through the same thing. I am on my third week. Doing body pump, spin, step fusion and step classes 3 to 4 days a week. I am up a few pounds from when I started too. I feel by now the water weight should no longer be an issue. I did measure too and have not lost an…

I am dealing with this same thing right now. I started at the gym 2 weeks ago and went 4 days last week and today will be 4 days this week. I havent lost a thing. I acutally gained a pound or two. The instructor told us not to weigh ourselves for a week or so due to water retention after starting exercise. Well I waited…

I think this looks legit. It doesnt look like a fad diet at all and actually eating between 9 and 5 or 10 and 6 isnt that uncommon for most so to me it looks pretty easy to follow. I think I am going to give it a try!

Thanks for all of the comments. I am looking forward to starting it next week!!!

You cant really look at it as a diet. You have to figure this is something you are going to do for life. If you want a piece of pizza then go ahead and have one. As long as you know you can stop at one or two. If you go over a few calories once in a while you will still be ok. As I said this will be a lifestyle change and…

so is the whole 15 min video in the original link? I am at work and cant watch it here. I would love to try it tonight if it is.

tartar, lettuce and fat free shredded cheese.

pedialyte freezer pops. Made for children to rehydrate when they are sick or to avoid dehydration but they work for adults too.

The biggest part that I disagreed with was use of the word hate toward your own children. Love and hate are the two strongest emotions one can have. Hearing hate from someone that is supposed to love you more than any other human being on the face of the planet is a lil harsh!

Im sure they would both love your sarcasm. The point of the whole reply was not Dr Phil. It was the parenting aspect....and by the way Dr Phil does have a degree in the area being discussed so maybe he does know something..Just a thought

I have teenageners. They are not perfect but they are not horrible. They make mistakes, they make good decisions. I have never ever even thought to say I hate my children no matter how mad I have been. Would you say this to your childs face? If so it is no wonder they rebel. It is a parents job to teach them right and…

Apparently you have never watched Dr Phil :tongue: He always says it is never ever ever ever ok and it is completely unacceptable for a man to put his hands on a woman. The reason being is the matchup is unfair. Men are generally bigger, stronger, tougher, etc. I dont think a man should sit and take it. I know there are…

I Love you!! I am 40

IDCY 50?

You guys are all awesome!! Keep em coming :)
