WW online worked for me, for a solid fifteen pounds, but I got sick of paying for it because I could get the exact same tracking system elsewhere (I had a good support group at home, and did not need that encouragement). Their mobile app sucked massively and there is even a mobile app that tracks points plus free ... sigh.…

Dehydration is where most of my migraines stem from, working out or no!

Hey, you read my mind! I am starting on Monday, too, when I am off holiday. Haven't yet learned how to approach the free weights yet (so my friend will be teaching me Wednesdays...hopefully I am not too sore) so I figured this would be a nice way to tide over until I'm more comfortable by myself in the gym.

Checking in from west Denver! :)

I am on the fence about the "eat more to weigh less" but I am about ready to try it. I have been in a plateau for a month or two, but I am still not convinced it was not due to poor habits. Even so, I know how you feel, OP! I have been trying to eat at least my BMR (1475) but am having difficulty even when I exercise…

5'4.5" and I am shooting for 120-130.

Oh, man. I am so meticulous about this all of the time, but geez, you just reminded me that I didn't DO it today! Crap! I feel like an idiot! I forgot to wipe down the treadmill ... yuck! I knew I forgot something but I was so excited that I'd been able to run so far for the first time ... Damnit!

Me me! I took a few weeks off (life got in the way -- moving, etc) but I am back on track, I think. I had JUST completed W5D3 (treadmill version -- 20 minutes straight) before I stopped. It took me a while to acclimate to my new surroundings (particularly the heat) but now I am up to W6D3 -- running 25 minutes straight!…

Do you know the girls these boys are dating? I dunno, they may seem unattractive and trashy to you, but that's pretty harsh. It's entirely possible they have good personalities, or are very confident with themselves ... which in my experience is a huge factor. And as a side note, I just wanna say, we share a name, Anya!…

Slowly replacing candy and confections with fruit seemed to help me ... Also simple moderation. If I want a piece of candy, I won't deny myself of it, but I will not take the 10 or 20 pieces I used to take. If I want a cupcake, I will eat a cupcake, but I stop at just one. :) I also find I like strawberries rolled in some…

I did weigh myself every morning but I am away from my scale for a few months as I work away from my apartment. So I weigh myself on my parents' scale once a week or so...It hasn't been any different though I do miss seeing how the number fluctuated. I weigh myself every day because it gives me some satisfaction to see the…

You're my height/weight twin! Well, you are where I was a few months ago. Currently I am at 141 lbs and trying to eat about 1400 calories a day or so, and I am losing. 1290 may be a little bit low ... Maybe go in and manually adjust the calorie allotment (that's what I had to do ... I didn't want to eat 1300 calories a…

I have braces, so I eat soup a lot ... Does that count? When I was on WW soup was the only way to work around the braces after adjustments and ensure I was within my calorie (point) limits. I found that spicy soups keep me fuller, longer! Skinnytaste has a bunch of delicious soups (http://www.skinnytaste.com/) that are…

I have a huuuuuuuuuge sweet tooth. Changing my lifestyle has definitely helped keep it under control, though. I eat a TON of fruit -- berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries), at least a cup or two of grapes every day (these are excellent for sugary flavor without the calories), and I always try to…

People have eating disorders. :P Or they are weak, starving, dizzy, exhausted, etc. I had trouble getting to 1200 yesterday but it was mostly because I ate lots of fruits and vegetables and meats and stuff. So I just wasn't that hungry. That's not always the case. I'm at 500 so far today and starving. Lunch soon!

Not on low sodium but since it makes me bloat soo much I am trying to watch it more. I eat lots of chicken breasts; lean meat tends to have lower sodium content, I think, but be careful. Some supermarkets pump them FULL of sodium. I used to get the bags of frozen breasts but found each breast had about ~400 mg of sodium or…

It looks like you only joined in May. How long have you been logging? There are a number of different things that could be blocking weight loss at the beginning. The most common is underestimating food portions ... A cup of cereal is much smaller than you may think! The only way to be sure you are actually eating what you…

I have one protein shake a day or so in the afternoon when I am on the verge of being hungry after lunch but before I head home from work. I will spend about an hour sipping it, and just having something like that keeps me satisfied.
