I'm just starting out on this and I went a week doing low carb, not keto level but just low carb. I felt good. I felt more alert and more energetic. I found foods that I already liked and made slight changes so I wouldn't get bored. Just for an experiment I went back to eating normal for two days and I felt like crap. I…

I'm starting this also. I have been struggling with my metabolism for awhile and continuing to gain weight. I'm only 29 but my body is already struggling. Getting tested for thyroid and other things soon. My sister got me on it, and she's pretty heavy. She's lost a good amount so far, I can actually tell just by looking at…

I've never had any problems with MFP being wrong. I have my own pediometer for when I walk and it tells me calories burned and it's always close to MFP.

Every body fluctuates. I fluctuate 2-4 pounds. Also depends on where I am in the my cycle, and the time of the day. It's normal. I wouldn't freak out over this.

I recently found out that I'm pre-diabetic. I'm 27 and I am about 170. I'm only 5'3. Diabetes run in my family big time. I guess it is time to make the changes I need to make... I'm getting ready to start WW. I only have about 40 pounds that I want to loose. Dr said at least 30 pounds would be good. My joints are having…

I don't think that he really meant to hurt you. I went through this with my boyfriend, and instead of just making the comments he actually took the time to explain why he was feeling it. I think your husband and you need to sit down and let him tell you why. He most likely has been feeling like this for a while. I'm the…

Part of me really wants the p90x too! I've been looking at that one..... The walk at home is nice... but I want something a little more moving lol. I don't even break a sweat with that one.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas!!! I wanted to try the 30 day shred but I wasn't too sure. I never thought about checking out the library either, thanks!!!

Hey all. Just checking in. I walked all day yesterday. It felt good to get out and be that active on my day off. Where is everyone????????

Goodness. I hope your mother feels better soon Painten. Well, I have good news. I have been thinking about going back to school for a few months now and I finally went ahead and started the process. I got the call today that it's official I start classes the 31st this month. I'm going for my associates in business admin…

This group has become very quiet............

Do your research. Yes it does help. But you have to be moving. The more you drink, the more you sweat, the more you burn. I know this is true because it worked for me. Every body is different. You can't just drink and sit. You have to be moving. I wouldn't call it flushing out the fat though. It's called burning lol.…

Hey everyone. I forgot to post my weight yesterday. SW:161 CW:161 GW:130 No loss. I'm holding a lot of water though. I'm drinking a lot of water. Lately I feel like I can't get enough. I'm always thirsty. Today, I kept to most of my goals. I haven't logged my food yet. I'm getting ready to though. I drank my water. I took…

Hey everyone. Doing my daily check in. Today I drank lots of water, and I took the steps at work as much as I could. How's everyone else doing?

I have a cinder block to loose :) One of my residents today said it looked like I was losing weight... Interesting. Considering my weight hasn't changed and my clothes are still tight. But, my doctor does want me to come in and see if there is anything else going on because of my massive weight gain since starting back on…

Way to go on dropping a jean size :)

It's great to log everything. That's awesome. It really helps you see and kinda hold you accountable for what your putting in your mouth.

I want to get it and try it so bad. I didn't know if it was worth it though.

Where I live, Walmart sucks. I actually prefer Krogers. I spend way less there, and I get fuel points. So I spend less on food and I spend less on gas.

I see a difference. Keep it up :)

Fish and lean meats. I like to use turkey instead of ground beef any time I can.

Well, I ran around today with my daughter. Literally. I moved the couches and put on some music and ran around. I lasted for about 25 minutes.... I was wore out lol. I made a healthy dinner. Lots of veggies. Made pot roast. I made sure all the fat was cut off. I ate my veggies first. I did good with my water. I usually…

Ok, thanks ladies for your input. I appreciate it greatly.

That's something that I never thought about. I'll have to pay closer attention.

The starchy stuff.

I think that's what I might have to do. I've re done my goals and I'm gonna bump up the exercise and see if that does anything.

That's the strange thing, I don't have food cravings lol.

I don't fix those anymore as much as possible. Living with a diabetic I have to be careful. Maybe I've just stopped paying as close attention as I thought I was.

It's Loestrin 24. It's a very low dose level. I have always taken the pill. I've never gained weight. But now that I'm on this one I can't get over how much I've gained. I've always taken it in the morning though. I've been pretty active, watching what I eat. I was doing great with maintaining. The only thing that changed…

Yay :)
