  • Returning to MFP after having my first child in December. I lost some of the baby weight initially, then the 4 month sleep regression hit and it destroyed me, my appetite, and my weight. The stress of being a new parent during the pandemic has also made it difficult. I am an emotional/stress eater, and worrying about the…

  • My goal today is just to log what I eat, even if I don't meet my daily calorie goal. I tend to stress out if I go above my limit and just stop counting since it makes me feel guilty. The problem is my body will accurately count the calories even if I don't put them in the app! I need to face the reality of what I'm eating…

  • I've always had large calves too... it sure does suck for finding cute boots to fit. Even when I was skinny my calves were large, however they were much smaller than they are now. I agree that general weight loss is the best thing for reducing their size.

  • I started feeling slimmer around my waist first. Then I noticed the other areas (thighs, hips, arms). It makes sense though because I gained weight pretty evenly all over my body, so now I'm losing it all over my body : )
    in Where do YOU first see weight loss? Comment by hevans05 June 2012
  • You may be over-training. Use a heart rate monitor when you work out and vary your effort so that your heart rate stays in the "cardio" zone (70-80% of max). Before I used a monitor, I felt just like you did... tired, drained, unhappy. Now that I have noticed that I push myself WAY too hard, I tone it down and pay…

  • A Course in Weight Loss - Marianne Williamson This book did wonders for me and really helped my heal my dysfunctional relationship with food. It is an interesting approach because it tackles the idea that our unhealthy relationship with food stems from a "spiritual" hunger. By connecting with ourselves and our higher…

Regardless, I read a book called "A Course in Weight Loss" by Marianne Williamson that really helped me change my relationship with food. The book is more about developing a spiritual program for weight loss, with the idea being…

  • I have noticed that for 3 weeks out of the month, I have no trouble eating clean. Then for that 1 week that I'm PMSing my appetite is insatiable! I get frustrated that my eating habits change so much because of my hormones, but I am learning to accept that this is the way my body works. I think one of the biggest battles…
