hi susan! i'm jessica, and i'm almost in the same boat. i'm not married, but my boyfriend left for training in august for his november deployment. as soon as he left, i jumped on the scale and off i went! prior to his leaving, we were eating out almost 3 times a day with friends and family soaking up all the time we could.…

:happy: hey everyone! happy monday! i hope everyone is doing well! i'm refusing to weigh in on thursday this week:noway: since i only have 9 lbs to go, i know its gonna be HARD. so i've reset my goals to reach a mini goal to lose 4 lbs first. that uppped my caloric intake from 1270-1520 calories per day. i feel like i'm…

BUMP:laugh:

agreed! you must incorporate cardio with a balance diet in order to shed belly (or any fat for that matter). our support group (trim for turkey day) is doing a crunch challenge to help strengthen our core. i'm on week four and i feel really strong in my core (abs). check it out! http://www.twohundredsitups.com/index.html…

i recently bought the F6 as well and i'm already an addict!! i've worn it to the gym and even on a long bike ride. one day i wore it for 24 hours to see if my daily expediture was what MFP estimated it to be...and it was! its great to see the true calories burned! enjoy ur new tool! :drinker:

happy happy birthday :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: enjoy ur trip and live it up!!!!

thanks guys! i guess the boss has spoken :wink: so i shall try this and see what happens. i would have totally upped it in one day, so thanks for the advice on the calories banks. heres hoping :wink:

i've def changed my workouts. i'm limited due to recent ankle surgery...but i started just walking on a treadmill for 30-45 mins. no i do the elllpitcal for 15 mins, then strength/circuit train for 45 min then elliptical or treadmill for 30-45 more mins. i've had a lot of change in my body since i've started changing it…

woot woot! :bigsmile: congrats!!! i remember seeing the scale hit 130 a couple weeks ago and i hadn't been there in sooooo long. its an amazing feeling! keep trucking and i wish you the best of luck with those last 10 lbs...i'm right there with ya!! :heart: jessica

Morning everyone! last week: 129.0lbs today: 129.0 lbs no loss, no gain td goal: 120 no change for 2 weeks now, on the scale that is :bigsmile: loving the shape my body is taking with my dedicated strength training. now i just need some advice on how to strength train and STILL lose numbers on the scale! getting the hang…

stay off the scale!!! :noway: wait a little while to step on the scale til you're back in your regimen. what everyone said is right about the muscle/water weight. try and weigh yourself once a month and go by how your clothes are fitting. i just started strength training and was worried when i saw the numbers on the scale…

hey everyone!! hope your week is going well. i'm sure everyone is busy with that thing called life...:laugh: but where are all our posters?? so i used my F6 for the first time during my cardio-strength train-cardio session of 2 hours and i burned 700 calories according to my hrm. i put it under circuit training...guess it…

i've been wearing it since i practically walked out the store:laugh: and i'm already in :heart: glad to hear ur feeling better missresa and yay for volleyball. that'll keep the calories comin off!

thanks leash! :flowerforyou: i think i'll try the whole day tomorrow to see if my daily calories burned at work add up to what MFP averages. then i'll stick to just exercise activities. :bigsmile: i'm excited! it's like a new toy for adults :laugh:

sooooooooooo....i got one! so do you all wear it all day? or just when you exercise??? advice puh-lease???:flowerforyou:

mmm oktoberfest! sounds yummy! i just went out and bought the polar f6 hrm. trying to read up and learn how this handy dandy thing works! anyone use one? do you wear it all day, or just during your exercise sessions? hope everyone had a great weekend. :bigsmile:

awesome, thank u! gonna head out and take a look at them. :flowerforyou:

question on the women's polar f6...i'm not too familiar with these devices, but looking into getting one. they all look like watches, but do they come with chest straps as well? i see from reading around that they are far more accurate that way, so does this model go from watch to chest strap mode or how exactly does that…

"nothing tastes as good as thin feels" repeat to yourself!! make sure you drink plenty of water. try and make the best choices, but most of all enjoy life! :flowerforyou: good luck

hmmm:grumble: no idea to be honest! but you could just drink extra water to carry you through, or perhaps go through your menu and change up some of the high sodium items for something not so high. good luck! :flowerforyou:

i've been country line dancing (not by dvd though!) at a country bar for over 5 years now! when i first started, i was 21 and i lost probably 20lbs in no time from going 3-5 times a week. now i dance on a competitive level, but still go out once or twice a week for the exercise. i love it cause its fun and doesn't feel…

welcome to MFP! :flowerforyou: another floridian here! down south tho, west palm. good luck on ur adventure here!! this place is fabulous!! :heart: jessica

make sure you're getting some rest too!! there is such a thing as too much exercise. maybe give yourself a lil downtime, make sure you're getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night. sleep is so important in weight loss so your body can heal and repair. hope you have a better week. good luck :flowerforyou:

LOL:laugh: :laugh: work it..but don't kill yourself!!
