I could use some more friends :)

loves the gym

Doing some course work for my Masters degree. This is my last class. I went right from my bachelors (4 ys) to my Masters (5 yrs). I'm tired!

After much though, I have made the decision to ban the scale for the next month. Right now, the scale has too much control over me. I weigh myself every few days and let the number dictate my mood. It is not fun, and it is not a way to live. Those numbers should not have that much power over me. Regardless of whether or…

sure!

I'm really trying to cut back. Sure I still have some "treats" but I have cut back a lot. My trainer said I should be eating a lot of protein, which I am finding hard to do.

I normally always eat only 1/2. Sometimes I will eat some dessert but not usually anymore unless a special occasion at the restaurant. I'm going to Olive Garden Saturdya and already have my meal planned by using their nutrition. Grilled chicken parm - 1/2 the serving. 1 salad, 1 breadstick

I try to plan ahead as much as possible. I also try to over estimate if possible

I feel guilty too but then try to start over the next day. You can't go back in time.

Those are good suggestions but I eat out a lot. How would I go about doing that? I'm not going to carry a scale with me

aww thank you.. She is my reason. To be happy and healthy for her

I do notice that when I eat something horrible.. I feel kind of horrible too

I opened up my diary. The eating is a work in progress but remember that it is MUCH less than I used to eat

yes, I track everything and preplan some meals.

I'm hoping to lose 25-30. Been working out 3-4x/week and logging daily and only lost 1lb in 4 weeks :neutral:

OK.. no period.. and still no weight loss. WTF!! I've lost about 1.5 lbs in 1 month. I went from not working out at all to working out at least 3-4 times a week. I've also cut out most of my bad snacking and am eating healthier options a lot of the time. I still eat some stuff that I want, but I try to keep it to a…

That's still incredible weight loss at an average of 4lb/week

Wow 12.5 lbs in one week! That's crazy. My weight is barely budging

You guys all have some great tips! sometimes instead of ice cream I will slice up a banana with some cool whip and add a tbsp of mini chocolate chips. Its very yummy and the potassium can help my sore muscles.

These are good ideas! I will have to take a look!

This is what I've been trying to do. Work around the calories to ensure it fits. Today I missed the mark.. but I have been under for most days the last few weeks.

measurements are always good to keep. I took them before I started and will take them once a month.

Those are all good points too. I want to lose the weight and get in shape so I can chase my little one around in the summer and take her to the pool and be comfortable. It will surely help me in the zombie apocalypse too ;)

That all makes sense as well.

That is probably true as well. I will keep this in mind :)

Thank you.. that is true to. I am trying to be more patient with results.

I'm not saying you're not right, it may work for you. I'm just stating that the things that you are naysaying are all general knowledge to most people but you are saying they're not true. If you feel that they are not true, that is fine but can you provide reason's why you think that? You have just been replying to other…

If you do a google search there are about 4 million search results that pop up with experts stating this.

Why do you think the information he provided is not right?

I have heard all of this before and believe Kevin is right.
