I agree with this completely! That works with height too. When people carry themselves tall, they look tall even though they could be 5'2. My dad told me once I walk short and that's why I look shorter than I am. I should work on that.

Readjusting my goals since my scale was off a few weeks ago. Starting Weight (Pre-pregnancy 11/2009) - 166 lbs Goal May 1, 2011 (140 lbs) Goal June 1, 2011 (135 lbs.) Goal July 1, 2011 (130 lbs.) Goal August 1, 2011 (125 lbs.) Goal September 1, 2011 (MAINTAIN!!) Current Weight 138.8! I can do this. I keep trying on my…

I had the same issue... I went from a 38D when I was breatfeeding (well pumping) to now a 34C or sometimes B......so sad. The girls will never look the same....maybe I need to do more pushups!

Ok so I plan to do 12 miles this week and 2 nights of yoga. I miss doing yoga, I used to do it every day and since I got pregnant, I have lost my mojo. Hopefully I can do 3 miles each run so that's 4 days....and then 2 nights of yoga. I have been stopping after 2 miles complete so this should push me harder.

I have to buy one soon and that is what is stopping me....I'm so scared of what the new one would say :(

Yum!!!! Thanks for sharing!

Sounds good I will do these tonight! Also I will try to plan my week too. Hard to do with an inconsistent baby but I will try!

Sometimes I will give in but if I do, I walk the stairs at work. There is a door to the stairs right behind my desk and it's a 10 story building so, no excuses when I do give in :) And I'm usually the one bringing in treats so.... LOL

Real name; Sharon what your screenname means; nothing really, the number is my birth year :) your dreams&goals; I want to own my own business, I just recently went public with my cupcake business (I know, horrible business to do when you're trying to lose weight, but I'm good at it and I don't really eat more than tasting…

My Goals 1. 1500 calories burned Mon-Fri 2. Under my calories daily, and 3. 80 ounces of water each day Good luck! Loving the mini-challenges!

Congratulations!! I am almost there with a cross over to the 130's! So I share your excitement! Good job, keep it up!

Thanks for the post Kerri! I am going to look and see what my fat burning zone is, I never even thought about that...but if I want to get rid of my belly that is what I need to do, lose FAT! Anyhow, the mini challenge was good for me too, even though I missed a couple days and didn't burn 500 calories but it was in my mind…

I only burn around 300 calories per workout cause I have a hard time getting more than 30 minutes to myself but I will try to push myself harder during those 30 minutes. My jog has increased through this challenge from a 4 to a 5 on the treadmill!!! Maybe I can find ways throughout the day to get more burned…

I agree, that can be really dangerous to not eat at LEAST 1200. You can still lose a good amount of weight by eating your 1200 calories. Congratulations on the weight loss but try to eat a little more, it will give your body more energy to workout and burn fat. Plus eating less than 1000 calories a day isn't sustainable. I…

Great job everyone!!! 3 pounds in a week! Holy good job ckhomles! and ellis

I had the same problem this week but it will pass. I am just exercising harder and being more careful about what I eat :)

I have the same issue! No matter what size I have ever been, my calves are big :( No tall boots for me that aren't stretchy! Hopefully something will change and the girth will reduce, lol

Thanks for the review! Another good one is "Hungry Girl", she makes regular food less in calories but still tasty :)

OMG you look amazing!! Congratulations!

You look great! Keep it up!! Very motivating! Thanks for posting :)

Wow! You look amazing!!! Great job!!!

I would be careful too to not eat much less than 1200 because your body could go into "starvation mode" and that definitely won't help weight loss.

Totally agree!!!!! Taste likes real oats and not paste :) I have a few boxes at my desk at work!

[/quote] That's not what it means. 1265 is you BMR, which is what your body uses just to survive. It has nothing to do with your goal weight, and if you just eat your BMR your won't maintain a healthy weight. You have to add the calories you use moving around, doing what you do during the day. If you don't, then you aren't…

Funny that you say this because when I started dieting and exercising I refused to buy clothes that are the correct size, I only buy cloths that are a bit snug and I would have to lose a few pounds to fit in correctly. I do this for the same reasons you say! Now I fit nicely in my pants that were too small just 3 weeks…

This has actually been studied that people are usually thirsty when they think they are hungry. I do this and it DEFINITELY is true! "But the truth is when you get that hungry feeling it is very possible that you're not hungry at all but that you're actually thirsty."…

Personally I don't like cheat days because then I expect to eat bad on day per week. I would rather eat well as much as possible and then when I really have a craving, eat it. I've never really bought into the idea that your body needs to be "tricked" , as long as you eat enough to not go into starvation mode, you…

Hey cookcs1984! When you look at someone's profile, the green buttons to the right "send message" "add friend", there might be a third option "view diary" and you can see it there. The person has to make it that way in their settings I believe. I like it because it makes me more accountable.

Try to look at other people's food logs as well to get a good idea of what types of food they are eating and portion sizes...portions are where I had to be careful.
