Right! That's the spirit! Add some extra exercise today, take the stairs instead of the elevator all day, walk on your lunch break. Cut back your calorie limit today and Tuesday. Get yourself back on track!

My body type is apple, meaning I gain all my weight in my midsection. Such a bummer because 5 lbs. looks like 10 lbs. on my body. Nonstop stomach! Arg. Starting weight: 158 lbs., dress size L, pants size 12, shirt size L Current weight: 150 lbs. still the same size but pants are fitting looser! Goal weight: 135 lbs., dress…

I use free weights when I lift weights at all because I find that a lot of the machines don't seem to fit my body very well. I guess I have long legs and a short torso? I lift 10 lbs. with more repetitions rather than going to heavier weights because I want don't want to bulk up, I want to tone..

I'm confused as to how washing with gelato is going to help you lose weight.

Brad Pitt wants to touch my booty.

I cannot work out without earbuds and some good music. Tune everyone out! Enjoy that workout!

Half a turkey sandwich: wheat bread, turkey breast, jack cheese, avocado, sprouts, lettuce and tomato. No mayo. Mustard is okay though. Make a whole sandwich, cut it in half. Eat one half one day for lunch and the other half the following day.

Trim the ends, put them in a bag with some olive oil to coat. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar and a big clove of minced garlic. Let that sit on the counter for about a half hour, turning the bag now and then to mix everything up good. Heat up a grill pan or a big cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, spray it…

lunchtime walking, parking 10 or 15 min. away from the job if it's possible, walking the stairs at the office. I don't know much about ADD but maybe husband can watch your son for just a half hour in the evenings - you can take a quick jog or brisk walk. If you add all these little pieces together you'll be working out an…

I have to eat breakfast, sometimes small, sometimes big. But I don't eat lunch, it's not on purpose, just don't usually have time for lunch until about 2:30 or 3:00 and by then I may has well wait and have a good sized dinner instead.

Medical issues are the reason I'm here on this board! I had a hysterectomy and an emergency appendectomy back to back. Recovery period was long and then even when I could finally get around, I couldn't do any real exercise for six months. So I laid in bed and gained 25 lbs. I haven't weight this much since I was 8 months…

I've been a member here for a long time but only very recently have decided to get serious about losing weight. I gained 20 lbs. in the past year due to a hysterectomy. Not acceptable! Yikes! Anyway, I wanted to reply to you because many years ago I had a serious accident which resulted in a compressed disc in my lower…

A summer jazz concert with my husband where I will wear a cute little summer dress and look fit and wonderful and feel great. My husband used to love me in cute little dresses, but that was when I was cute... and little.

I am not a doctor and you should talk to your doctor. But I struggle with a compressed disc in my back from an accident in 1989. I am 55 years old now and it is worse than ever but I still exercise regularly. I walk and go to yoga classes. Lately I've started riding my bicycle again but I find it does aggravate my back if…

I blew it last night too. Dang. I was doing so well! Went way over my calorie limit and I'm so angry at myself for doing so. But what can you do? Get back on track I guess. I am getting dressed right now and going on a bike ride and burn some big calories.

Promoting mens' health is very important. Please continue to provide Chavvaguirre as much support as possible by posting new pics often. Thank you. (DAYYYYUUUUUUUMMMMM!!!!)

I have played with MyFitnessPal for a couple of years, but only just started seriously trying to lose weight so I hesitate to post because I don't know if I can do this! I am trying very hard though. I have lost four pounds in two weeks. I find I must have a substantial breakfast and am not hungry for lunch. Dinner is…

Okay, I just read this and I absolutely love this idea! I began riding my bicycle again only this month and haven't really kept track of miles but I will from now on and post them! I would ride more if I had a decent bicycle but for now my janky old Craigslist special Schwinn will have to do... 3/9/2014 10 miles 3/11/2014…

I don't mean to jack this thread but I just want to say THANK YOU TRACY so much for giving me hope. I am a year and a half post total hysterectomy (fibroids) and while I feel so much better, I gained 20 lbs! I hate my body! I have been exercising like a fiend and I haven't lost any weight. I think the key is calories.…

We're human. Don't worry about it. Just get yourself motivated and get back on track.

I really like podrunner. These days though I just listen to Pandora on my smartphone with some good earbuds. I think my favorite workout tune is "Toxic" by Brittany Spears.

Zevia diet soda. It tastes better than most diet sodas as it is sweetened with stevia, a plant. I honestly can't tell the difference between this and regular soda. You can buy it at Whole Foods Market.

I never wear underwear when working out. Underwear sucks in general. Particularly underwire bras and tummy control "briefs". Oh and control top pantyhose, remember those? hahahhaa!!! Fuhgetaboutit. I only use lightweight microfiber stuff that doesn't even feel like anything is there and I may as well not be wearing any…
