I completely understand how you feel....first off congrats! Second, I have had 4 m/c, and with each one I felt like it couldn't happen again, then it could, then I was just expecting it to happen again. The 4th time, I felt that this was going to be my last time trying. And when it ended, I cried and cried knowing that we…

TO SETTLE OR NOT TO SETTLE? That is the question. I never settled. The reason why i know this is because I barely bought any larger sized clothes. I knew I had to lose weight cuz I felt like crap, emotionally and physically. So, every time I went to my closet and wore the same pair of jeans or my over sized shirts, I felt…

I refuse to buy clothes...at least nothing too expensive. At that point I feel like I am accepting my weight, and I have a ton of cute clothes that I own from when I was thinner, so I am working toward fitting into those again.

I usually eat fruit or yogurt for my snacks. This is usually where my "cheats" come in, such as the Who-Nu cookies. They are high in fiber and vitamins. I also eat veggies, nuts.

I am 157 lbs, 5ft 7 and about a 10-12. My problem is my hips, whereas my waist is pretty slim.

For me it was a combination of being lazy, lack of motivation and probably throw some depression in there from my 4 miscarriages. I gained weight from being pregnant and then a few more pounds each time from the sadness that I endured (aka my comfort food). So a few pounds here and there, I am now 30 lbs over. Now we have…

I know PF is no joke. The one thing that helped me over the course of a few years was wearing the night splint. I also made sure to massage my foot when I could handle the pain and most importantly anti-inflammatories and ice. I don't run for a few reason of my own (the shear pain in my shins from running and the fact that…

Hello everyone.....did someone say chocolate? I have decided that the only way I am going to lose weight is to satisfy my chocolate cravings when I need to...so, when I make pancakes, I include a few chocolate chips. This helps me get some chocolate, but I believe it is much better than a full 250 calorie candy bar. Helps…

Hello. I am glad this group was started. I am 36 yrs old with a 6 yr old son and a wonderful husband. I have had 4 miscarriages and a back injury between the 3rd and 4th miscarriage. I weighed 125 lbs before I got pregnant with my son. My highest weight was 163 lbs. I have been working hard and really watching what I eat…

I have been doing Power 90... I am not ready for P90X yet. I am losing weight though, so I must be doing something right... GOOD LUCK to you!

I am down 4.8 pounds, but everyone at work wants to go to lunch! To top it off I managed to hurt my knee yesterday, so I had to fast forward through the leg portion of my workout, so I have to really keep within my calories. So im sitting here with my knee iced up.

I have never heard of HIIT training. I have been doing Power 90, which is the step below P90X. It is a little easier than P90X, but it gets you into the routine. After 90 days of Power90, then on to P90X for 90 then Insanity. First things first, I am 16 days into Power 90 and I have lost 4 lbs so far, much more than I have…

Amanda, I know how you feel, my son's bday was yesterday, so we had cake thurs, fri and sat! So, tomorrow I am back on track, although I did gain any weight, I tried to adjust my calories cuz I knew I was eating cake! I also found Fiber ONE brownies that are only 90 calories. I have been eating one every other day. They…

I enjoy the Power 90, because it is not aerobics, but instead it is doing specific movements that benefit your strength and cardio. I work out 6 days a week, alternating cardio/abs and strength. I also have the option of turning off the cheesy music, so all I hear is Tony Horton going through the exercises. He always gives…

The phase 1-2…

My first big goal is to get below 150, so far so good: starting 154 7/17 is 152.2 once I get to the 149 mark, then I know I am actually losing fat instead of the initial "bloating" which comes with the beginning of the diet... Be proud of me...I didn't eat ANY of those donuts... I have also been doing the Power 90…

Hi courtney I am a recovering chocoholic...I have been using mfp for about two weeks and I have a very difficult time not eating a pound of chocolate in a day with no real food during the day... I've decided to just have some candy every 4 to 5 days which I allow for in my calories. The rest of the time I eat a sweet…
