  • Are you measuring you food? How are you measuring it (if you are)? You may be eating more than you think.

  • I agree with this 100%. I had tried juicing in the past. The juicer is a pain to clean and all the good stuff is left out. I always felt like I was wasting a lot of my fruit and veggies. I received a NutriBullet as a gift for Christmas and LOVE it! You can use much more of the fruit and veggies, and you can add peanut…

  • I totally think I am going to make it! The sad thing is that I was doing better in February because I was getting in an extra 3 miles at least 3 times a week, but then life got extremely busy and I haven't been able to make it to the track. Tomorrow we're taking my daughter to the Zoo, so there should definitely be some…

  • Okay, this is my first time attempting to post pics on here. Hopefully this works. I'm not 100% sure on the "before" as I either avoided the scale or didn't look when I was weighed at the doctor's office. The "during" pics are from February @ 165 lbs and a few weeks ago @ 160 lbs. I'm a work in progress and still working…

  • It does get easier. Getting started and sticking to it is the hardest part. I agree with you needing to stop thinking about it as being a "diet" and think of it as changing your diet. There are always going to be people that balk at the idea of a diet or even really just change in general. Ignore them! You can't change…

  • I didn't mean I log on the device app, but I log in MFP and put the start time and duration. I only do that to track the type of exercises I am doing, so I know I did an actual workout that day and wasn't just counting my steps around the house.

  • All this! In prior years when I would come to this site and login, I was not really motivated and was looking at it as a diet. Usually I would get panicked because bathing suit season was coming around and I would want to get the weight off. I wasn't ready to put in the "work" required though, so I always failed and got…

  • Yes, just log your spin bike workouts since you aren't wearing your device then. I have the FitBit One and, if I log an exercise and put in the time I started it and duration, it doesn't double log it. I'm not sure how it works for other devices.

  • Last week I made a Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Steel-Cut Oatmeal. I cook it overnight in the crockpot, take out a portion in the morning to eat, and put the rest in mason jars in the fridge. I can then reheat a portion everyday. A 1 cup serving works out to be 116 calories, not counting any additional toppings or sweeteners I…

  • Not quite at the 50 mile mark yet, although I am only 7 miles short. While I increased a little last week, it wasn't at all what I would have liked. I am definitely still pushing myself, although warmer weather might help to get me outside more (which is where I seem to get the most mileage in!) Week 1: 21.03 miles Week 2:…

  • I think it will happen when you lose a little more. I didn't drop a pant size until closer to 35 lbs lost. I've dropped 2 sizes with the last 10 lbs though. I tend to carry my weight in my hips, butt, arms, and thighs. The weight loss was noticeable first in my face, neck, and waist.

  • I was a size 18 at one point (have no idea what my weight was because I stayed far away from scales) and I can fit into a size 12 now. I weight 161. Honestly, I never thought I would fit back into a size 12. Now I stopped putting a size limit and will see what I am when I get there!
    in Do you think it's possible to go from size 16 to 10-12? Comment by christa279 March 2014
