It doesn't take the place of running but is a very good workout. I alternate between running on my treadmill and using my elliptical. If I set the resistance/stride high enough on the elliptical, I am feeling it the next day....all day!

I am always looking for new ideas!

very interesting!

Great story/pics! Gives me so much hope and inspiration!

I too am a former WW member. I was able to lose my pregnancy weight after both pregnancies thanks to WW. I like that this program is free and I love the support on here! I often found myself not wanting/too tired to exercise but it is a matter of finding something that you enjoy. Once you get started, you start to feel so…

You look amazing! I was in need of some inspiration today and you helped!

Oh my...I am laughing right now. :laugh: My husband commented how much he loves my "back dimples" and I hate them! I never knew people found them sexy let alone wanted them! Now if only the dimples on the backs of my legs were sexy...

I have the same problem sometimes. Did you try putting in a new battery? I like digital scales because they are so much easier to read but when it comes to accuracy, they can be a little off. As long as you keep it in the same (non carpeted) spot, you will be able to keep track of what you have lost. I hate going to the…

To my mom, I would be sarcastic with her (that's just me)..."Yes mom, that is exactly what I am doing and it's working great!" Sarcasm is usualy enough to shut my mom up. LOL To everyone else, I would thank them for the "compliment" and simply tell them healthy eating and exercise. No need to go into details but atleast…

I would not have been able to keep my mouth shut! Kuddos to you for that. But you look amazing! Her boyfriend must me a "butt man". LOL Keep the junk in your trunk honey...toned with curves....love it. Sticks are not sexy! :wink:

I agree! I joined WW after both pregnancies. I did lose the weight and thought I ccould keep it up on my own...WRONG. WW is based on points but in the end, it's all about calories. Too much calculating too. I did try the new Points Plus and was not thrilled. (even more calculations) Unlimited fruits and vegetables…

I hate going into Payless! LOL why is it we're lucky to get 1/4 of an aisle...but walk over to the 7's and 8's and they have both sides of the aisle!? I think we should all ban together and start our own shoe line:happy:

So glad I came across this thread! Depending on which Dr I go to, I am between 5'7" and 5'8" I consider myself to be "big boned". That's how everyone always referred to me when I was younger. I personaly think it sounds like a polite way of calling me fat! LOL I will always have wide hips and broad shoulders and my husband…

Both...I guess you could say that I want my cake and be able to eat it too:laugh:

Me too......2 boys with lots of energy!!!!:tongue:

I sooooo want to try P90X!

Guess everyone else beat me to that one. LOL (must....type.....faster):laugh:

5 pounds of muscle weighs the same as 5 pounds of fat right? When people say that "muscle weighs more than fat", they need to re phrase it better.

Hello co-worker! :happy:

The other night I was on MFP and the boys came to me to tell me "Goodnight". I didn't even realize it was time for them to go to bed and my husband was getting ready to tuck them in.....mother of the year award for me (insert sarcasm)

I am the same way. It was the way I was raised. We were told we couldn't leave the table until our plates were "clean". And waste food....forget about it! I too do not like left overs but thank goodness my hubby does! My biggest hurdle though is the buffett. Some of the best Chinese restaurants in our area are buffett…

Holy crap...the picture above doesn't even look like her! I think I even like the color of her hair, considering I am a red head and don't think I would ever venture from red...:flowerforyou:

You look amazing!

There is no way I could keep it in the house! I save it for after lunch time at work and I keep it in a co workers office so I have to get up to go get it! A little crazy I know but I have no willpower when it comes to chocolate. Maybe I should attend meetings :-) "Hello, my name is misleo7 and I am a chocaholic."

You can eat grilled chicken breast with a side of steamed vegies and a side salad for the same amount of calories as some shakes. I have tried the shakes before and they taste great and are loaded with vitamins/minerals, but they just don't have the staying power as a healthy meal. Just my opinion :-)

Love Dr. Oz!

You're doing great! I know they say the slower you lose, the longer it stays off but sometimes we want it like yesterday!

I have to have ranch! I use Hidden Valley Light Ranch. 80 calories for 2 TBS. Doesn't seem like much but I put my salads in a bowl, put the dressing on then pop on the lid and give it a good shake. Everything gets a good coating,

I have been using the app on my phone for a couple months now but I am really loving the web site! I love the success stories/pictures! They give me the encouragement I need!

I was also on the WW train! I was able to lose after both of my pregnancies but like you, ended up gaining the weight back. I love this site and the message boards are way better than WW!
