Hey.... Your not alone!!!! You are NOT alone! And I think you came to the right place! I too have been going to school and tied to the books... put 20lbs on like it was nothing! Im here to take control of this and I am determined to do it! My goal is to be at my comfortable weight by the end of May. We can do this!!! We…

HELP!!! I need a support group!! Looking to lose almost 30 lbs. Im about 172lbs right now.. would love to get under 150-140lbs! I was looking for an online personal trainer.. but I keep getting advice to come to this site and get into an support group. I have no idea how that works or where to find the right group for me.…

Thanks Jac.. the chart is awesome! Thanks for all your time and efforts putting that all together and keeping it going! Big Smiles, Heather

148.75lbs 29" waist ( no change there) Sorry I havent been logging in, as I think I didnt log in last week... Just now starting back with some light exercises from my back injury. Will have to be more careful not to twist it again. Still thrilled to be losing the weight! I am under 150!!! Wooohooo!!!!

Weighing in a day or two early since I missed last weeks weigh in and I dont know if I will have time to weigh in on sunday. Waist 29" 153.20 lbs I have been measuring my thighs and hips.. I am seeing inches lost! The last month I have lost a full inch around my thighs and hips too. Pants are fitting looser and I am more…

154.3 (no change today) bummed. 29.75 Waist (small change at my waist) I know I am retaining alot of water right now and have seen some wild fluctuations in my weight all week... I am hoping it will balance out next weeks weigh-in and I will start to see some results again.

AWESOME POST!

Back when I was 135 everyone said I was too thin. But I thought I looked fine. Felt GREAT! After having been way up above 150-160 for a while now, I will be perfectly happy to get back down to 140-145. I think my optimal for my height and build is suppose to be about 138.

I agree with the water... and time... I think its totally possible to get your stomach back... just give it time. Keep at your training, make sure you are taking plenty of vitamins that love to help skin... Lysine is an amino acid that is awesome for building collagen in growth and tissue repair! I found this article:…

154.3 lbs on 04/20/12 30.5 on 04/20/12

155.25 lbs 31.5 Inches Its been an outrageously busy week for me!

As I continue on this fitness journey I am constantly learning more and more.... I have been working hard at school... really watching my intake... doing my workouts and I recently went to a low carb diet. I used to be so hungry... but since I started the low carb diet, I noticed that Im not wanting to eat as much as I…

You could try this site: http://greenmonstermovement.com/?page_id=39 and I also found some great stuff on the atkins site.

Another member wanting to know the same questions.... I was reading that if you eat 12g carbs and 6 g of fiber that the fiber cancels out 6 g of carbs.... so your "effective carbs" are 6? Is that really true? and as the other questions were given... are there good carbs vs bad carbs?

The Wii U looks fun.... how will it pertain to fitness games?

A bunch of us got together in the EA Sports Active 2 discussion group. We even have an event starting tomorrow! Come join the fun! And be sure to add me as a friend! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/4246-ea-sports-active-2 Smiles, Heather

159 lbs 32" Waist Working on the Cardio Kickstart medium (almost done) then going to the Hard level. Then starting the 9 week program (med).

Okay, just to get me started in a direction, I reset my macros to 30/40/30 c/p/f. Yesterday was a wake up call regarding what low carb intake actually is. I failed my carb intake by double! But I had no clue how to look for carbs... this is all such an awesome learning experience!! **On a side note... Im in college right…

I LOVE pumpkin... and I love spreads on my toast... I made this recipe last night and its is great! If you like pumpkin, this is a winner! It comes from a website called skinnytaste. She also has some really nice other recipes. Pumpkin Butter | Skinnytaste Pumpkin lovers will love this simple low fat pumpkin butter recipe…

I AGREE!!! Stixx... those mountain climbers are awful for me.. my wrists dont like them either. And the fastkickups never register right for me either... I find when I really move my arms more, they register better, but thats not foolproof either. Probably the activities that dont register are the most frustrating for me..…

After my Cardio Kickstart yesterday, I just didnt feel like I was ready to quit, so I made up a custom run. I have done this before and liked it. I like to mix them up: This one was tough for me due to the fast kickups, my machine doesnt register them so much and I end up doing a ton of fast kickups. I chose a short run,…

That Casamiento sounds fantastic... I tend to lean toward vegetarian dishes around here since my daughter dislikes most meats, so I look for meals she likes that are full of the proteins she needs while growing. This one looks great! Thanks Also need to try the Oatmeal recipe! I love oats!!!!!

I am not currently long hauling anymore, but I spent 4 1/2 years team driving and I know what your going thru! Best advice is to get out and get those bodies walking every chance you get!!!! And definately watch those calories. Have you been able to find any exercises on the truck you can do in the sleeper? I would just…

Thanks for the link to the waist measurement Jac. I got a correct reading now. I just finished up #10 of Cardio Kickstart on medium.... I am going to stay with it since I am really beginning to see some results with my heart rate coming down. I have a really high resting heart rate and I am looking forward to getting that…

Oh Im so excited about this challenge! I start back to school on monday (April 2nd) and am taking on a full schedule, plus working ambulance when Im not in school... I was worried I would find the motivation to stick with my 9wk program. This will definately help me as I do love a challenge! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE feel free…

SORE MUSCLES?????? This is a good article talking about the importance of correct intake before, during and after your workouts. Want to prevent sore muscles? Basically they say its important to start out with Carbs and proteins before a workout... Drinking a Sports Drink high in carbs/proteins during a workout... and the…

MFP didnt have the calorie burner calculation I needed this morning so I found this real quick... looks accurate. http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc
