For most people yes - but everyone is different. I went back and looked at her profile again and she has lost weight in the last month - just not in a consistent weekly manner. I would say if you are averaging weight loss over a 4 week period - even if the average is .5 lbs a week - that's still a good loss. She had…

I took a look at your diary and I would say its not that you are not eating enough - you have consistely logged pretty close to your goals and not dropped down too low. You seem to eat pretty healthy so I think you just need to give it more time. Yes I do think 2 lbs a week is a pretty aggressive goal. If you seem to think…

doglvr3 - you sound just like me! I have been going through the same thing - no matter what I do I cannot get the weight to stop coming on and to start losing. I can start feeling better and feel like I "starting" to make some progress - then nothing. I swear that my body starts going through a cycle and nothing will…

Thanks PJ - looking real forward to spending some time there with my some. You look awesome. Good luck with your goals!

Awesome! I would give anything to lose 5 lbs right now! I am not sure what that gonna take - lol. Yesterday I did good as far as staying with my deficit. I didn't get as much of a workout as I had hoped - was really tired for some reason but did get a good night's sleep so feeling much more energetic today. Today gonna do…

Great - let's do this! I just started TOM so I am so tired today. I was about 2 1/2 weeks late and I find that when that happens it is harder when I do finally start. So I didn't get the hard workout I wanted to at lunch but I did go for a nice brisk walk and tonight I have to go grocery shopping so I'll get in some more…

Day 1 of Operation Lost Some Weight Before Mother's Day! Back at it today. Going to really focus on getting back into my running schedule. Have missed my Zombie Run. Kind of cloudy and rainy here today so if its raining at lunch plan on hitting the indoor track at the gym. Then hitting the City Market to stock up on some…

Welcome new members! I've been so upset about the non-loss of weight or inches since I tried on summer clothes last weekend I've been diligently searching for answers on the Internet all week. I came across a few good blogs that gave some good suggestions. I've ordered some progesterone cream and some pills that are a…

I don't cook breakfast either - its all I can do to slap a protein drink in my blender. I also was never a breakfast eater and I think you are right - having fruit and a yogart is a big step.

I use Jay Robb which I order right off the Jay Robb website - it can be pricey though. I used to use the Walmart and the GNC brand and they were fine - just make sure you get one that is whey protein - with no additives (such as some of the GNC brands have in them for building bulk). I love my shakes, they help me with my…

I was also going to suggest that you try adding a whey protein powder to your day - instead of the Starbucks - take black coffee - pour a little into cup (hot coffee) and add a scoop of protein powder - I use chocolate - stir and whip it until it is smooth and creamy and then add the rest of your coffee and stir and enjoy.…

I dress for what is comfortable and makes me feel like I look good. I have nice legs and am shorter so I still wear shorter skirts and shorts - until my cellulite starts kicking up - I probably will continue. I am busty so I do wear lower cut shirts too - otherwise I end up looking chunky. I have never been told I am…

Hmm I've been researching the book referenced above and she has a blog that I've been looking at. I think I'm going to order the Progestakey creame. It doesn't look like there are any downfalls to trying it. I thought about doing the Salvatory Hormone Test but its 115.00 which is a bit pricey to me.

Welcome Leslie! So you mean you still have the hot flashes even after your period stops???? I guess I didn't realize that - I thought it was what happens leading up to that point. I think you are doing all the right things for the weight gain - you just gotta stick with it and not give up. That is hard to do when you don't…

Well I guess there is really no way to know the difference - except I didn't smoke so I knew it was from quitting smoking - but as far as is there a difference - the only thing I could think of is that the menopausal weight gain won't come off - no matter how low I go on calories as it is attributed to more than just…

I had to stop over here to see all your amazing totals - you guys are awesome! I enjoyed this challenge and getting to know all you guys. Please keep in the loop on anything new as I would love to stay joined in.

Ok hit my totals as I anticipated -- 475 of cardio and 180 of strength. I finished the punishment challenges and stayed within my deficit all week. I have definitely improved my stamina in my runs and I have lost done inches which I can tell by the way my clothes fit. I gave enjoyed the challenge and it definitely has kept…

Ok my fitspiration is done! I am at 330 for cardio and 105 for strength, and I have two more sets of the leg throw to do (which I will do tonight). I plan on doing another 40 min cardio tonight and 30 min of strength, tomorrow another 45 at lunch of cardio and 15 of strength and then another 60 min or so on Sat of cardio…

Here is my fitspiration picture: So the before is about 1 1/2 ago when I realized how much weight I had put on and that I really needed to get it off. The one in black was taken last week. Though there may not be a dramatic difference I do see a difference in my face, my upper body and my waist line. And the biggest…

Yea - I figured out the picture thing so I'm going to do my fitspiration this afternoon - after I go do my hour long run!

I get so confused when I read posts like this because my fitbit tracks my steps when I am walking or doing anything like pushing a cart and my arms do not have to be swinging. I have my fitbit connected to my Iphone by bluetooth. I have held my fit bit in my hand that I wear my fitbit on and watched my Iphone app track…

Its Tuesday and I have 210 in cardio already and 60 in strength. I have pushed myself hard the last three days and I was so sore everytime I got up from my desk at work that I felt it. So I decided to take tonight and relax. I took a nice hot bath and now I'm having a glass of wine. I will have a new workout partner…

Metonia - love it! Great fitspiration.

Got it thanks!

Oh and about the fitspiration thread -- how do I load a picture on a forum post? I have never figured that out.

I guess I was thinking along the same line Amy - only counting my actual time out running or at the gym in my totals - and I was trying to figure out the same thing considering I'm working 8 hours a day and I have almost an hour commute each way. If I do my run every day at lunch and I go every day after work and do an…

Lol - no rest for Georgie!

I will definitey miss it! I think I read somewhere on here that they were thinking of doing another one for the off season? If so I would love to be included. I have a great start to my numbers this week. Feeling much better and more motivated. I walked and rode trials for 3 hours yesterday - so I just added 60 min. to my…

Awesome job Georgie!
