  • That was the most I ever weighed, so it's something I remember very well. My whole life I've hovered around 105 lbs. so realizing I had topped my previous "highest weight" was a shocking moment for me. Plus we had recorded my previous weight during the weigh in at the beginning of the course that was taken on the same…
  • I had not considered bone density, but I doubt that could account for much weight. Perhaps I'm underestimating the difference in weight between dense bones and soft ones? I will have to research this for sure. I weigh 106.5 lbs now and I've been sedentary because I had a baby and then I broke my patella and had to go…
  • The weight didn't drop off me and my muscles didn't deflate a week later. I stayed really buff for a very long time. I loved it. I loved showing off my legs especially. It was great! Like I said, I did eat a lot more than anyone else, so I did have a significant increase in calories, and most of the other people didn't…
  • I'm not disputing the theory that a person can only gain a few lbs in a month, but I want to share my experience because I believe that I gained far more than that. When I was 21 years old, I was a former fit person. I went to a boarding school with a dance program and I loved to dance so I took as much as I could. I…
  • I was surprised that I liked Pilates for Dummies. The instruction was succinct and clear and each exercise could be done separately which allows the user to pick and choose which ones to do. If the yoga one is made the same way, i can understand why you like it.
  • Crunch Candlelight Yoga available on demand on Netflix is a good one.
  • Before I had a baby, when I weighted the most I wore the smallest size. I looked good! I now weigh 12 lbs less but my waist is a lot bigger because I have so much less muscle and so much more fat on my body. Muscle weighs more than fat. Don't get hung up on the numbers on the scale. Inches mean much more. Using photos to…
  • It means you're doing it right! That's how you're supposed to feel. I see other people have mentioned what you eat after. Don't forget to include protein afterwards! I also take certain supplements after. It's used more efficiently and the right food eaten immediately after will keep you from gorging on something…
  • I haven't read the whole thread, but I have been where you are! In a previous relationship, my live-in boyfriend was your guy. He used to tell me that vegetables made him nauseous and if I cooked them, just their presence in the house made him feel like vomiting. His mom primarily fed her kids frozen dinners and he was…
