you can buy a food scale almost anywhere. walmart, target, bed bath & beyond. you can go cheap (i did and it works just fine) or you can go fancy just depends on your needs. weighing food is much better than measuring cups. you'll get more accurate amounts by weighing. good luck.

i'm not even 5' and i've got a big ole booty so i know exactly what you are going through. one of my fav pairs of jeans are from kohls - lauren conrad. the fit great. also i love love love my nine west vintage from steinmart. not too low (i have a lower pouch) and the length is perfect. i didn't have to hem them.

i see nothing wrong with having some carbs, sugar and fat in a person's diet as long as the individual doesn't have issues with these. the question you should ask yourself is can i eat like this forever? what happens when you start eating to maintain? many concern themselves with how to loose the weight yet never talk…

4' 11-3/4" 1360 no i don't eat back my exercise calories because i'm following the TDEE method

it's stress related. visit your dentist, make sure you have not ground down some of your teeth. i went through this planning my wedding. dentist fitted me with a night guard. you don't want to end up with TMJ.

here are a few suggestions for food to include in your diet (your diary's not open) and should be able to eat on the go. hard boiled eggs lean turkey high protein boca burgers nuts look for a low sugar high protein bar (my husband likes builder bar) fish (i don't eat fish so can't help with suggestions) lean meats (96%…

yup it was probably just water weight you lost last week. as long as your weighing your food accurately and logging correctly i wouldn't get too concerned over it. the closer you get to your goal the long it'll take to loose. it took me almost a 2 months to loose 3lbs.

i have an 8k in the morning (hoping for a PR) then I plan to enjoy myself at my neighborhood pig roast and drink beer. not gonna worry about one day.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

i did my first set of deadlifts at last week's strength session. AMAZING! i did 3 sets of 3 with 115lbs. add some weight you can do it! if i can anyone can - my upper body strength is terrible.

oatmeal with yogurt and berries oatmeal with peanut butter eggs with cheese, salsa, tortilla wrap or wheat toast eggs with bacon toast with peanut butter greek yogurt with peanut butter, banana and honey greek yogurt with nuts, berries, honey eggs with avocado avocado, chicken on lettuce tuna wrap salad with hard boiled…

i ran a half marathon (13.1 miles) back in may and didn't burn what you burn walking. i think you're over estimating your calorie burns.

i'm a wine and beer girl. hard alcohol makes my psycho and not in a good way. extra exercise before going out. :drinker:

a banana split a trip to the make your own sundae bar Carvel ice cream cake i think i see a pattern forming here.

i'm 4' 11" and 3/4" (we all know that 3/4" is VERY IMPORTANT) ;) My goal is somewhere in the high 130s. started out in the 180s. i ignore that chart at the doctor's office and my doctor does too when it comes to my height/weight/health. Over the past 2 years, I've lost 40+ lbs. My blood pressure is down, my good…

if they are saying that then they are not your friends sorry.

mine's open and it's not perfect but neither am i. My diary is a reflection of me.

i find it interesting that your friend is eating the exact same foods and has lost weight yet you gained. if you are accurate and it honestly sounds like you are then i would push the doctor for a thyroid test. keep in mind we all lose at different speeds, you just might be at a much lower speed than your friend which i…

i have to second or is it now third IT. IS. NOT. LAUGHABLE!!!! you are doing so well! this is how i got started into running 4 years ago and last saturday i completed my second half marathon (13.1 miles). do no laugh at what you are doing because you are doing it right. :) and you should be extremely proud of your…

why? because they're only eating 1200 calories max which is making them hangry HANGRY i tell you! :) keep up the great work - slow and steady keeps the weight off. edited to add comback line: thank you for sharing your opinion about MY weight loss now please pass the butter

yeah hawaiian but with ricotta cheese added as well. i love it on pizza. i would probably try the ketchup and chips

eating lunch now and it is a mixed greens salad. mixed greens, dried cranberries, an oz of deli meat turkey, a string cheese broken up, half oz of pecan bits, cherry tomatoes, red wine vinegar and olive oil. dessert will be the rest of my banana from my morning snack.

love blackberry cobbler! wood fired pizza with ricotta, ham and pineapple

MY OPINION: i am not a fan of "saving all my calories" for one meal. i prefer to eat throughout the day. if i know i'm going to dinner or want to indulge i get in a really great workout so i can eat back my calories. you said yourself you did this before and lost but gained back (okay maybe not all but you did get back) so…

it's not that there's a flaw in the product per say but that it's an inferior product. cheap sports bras from target or walmart or heck even some sporting goods stores are poorly made. a good sports bra can be expensive ($50 or more) and well let's face it sometimes you just don't have the available funds to buy a $65 bra…

half marathon update: race was saturday, finished in 2:55:27. did the right thing and took it slow, enjoyed everything and finished with a huge smile on my face! ended up only being 2 minutes slower than last year's race.

thank you everyone! this is why i love this site. when you need the support everyone is right there. when you need a kick in the pants everyone is right there. when you need the voices in your head squashed everyone is right there. so thank you again for being there. :) goal for today: short run tonight 4/5 miles MAX i…

point taken. :) and i do NOT want to injure myself. these two have just stunk and i don't want a repeat.

so your the what 4th person to tell me that my idea of running 1 last long run 2 days before is not smart running. heavy sigh i must force myself to think logically about this. stupid emotions. good news i have my next half already picked out and paid for and it's not until november so i'm gonna CRUSH my time at that race.…

thank you. i will keep all this in mind. run smarter. have fun. enjoy it. i'm super excited for this race because the scenery is SO BEAUTIFUL. i can't wait.
