First, I don't mind porn. I've watched a few. My hubby has watched a few. It doesn't do it for me because I spend so much time laughing at the stupidity of the situations. Having said that, you're not married (so no legal ties to unbind), I'm guessing you have no kids together (that would push this momma bear over the…

Quick vent: I am a music teacher and my school is hosting our league music festival in 3 weeks. There are 10 schools in our league. I received the entries from all the schools last Monday and began working on the schedule. I got the schedule finished and emailed it to the directors on Friday. I received an email from one…

I used my HRM to figure my calories, but it bit the dust (who knew that a couple years of sweat, even when regularly cleaned, could cause a short?!). So now I'm just going off the last HRM entry I put in. I enter the number of minutes, and it figures how many cals that should be based on the last entry. Someday I'll get a…

Ok, I'm going to take a shot in the dark here (since I can't find anywhere that says how long you've been doing the exercise routine) that the exercise routine is fairly recent (2 weeks?) Assuming that, here's what I think MIGHT be happening. When you begin a new type of exercise, you reactivate muscles that have been…

Don't freak out yet. A few things to consider: 1) are you weighing at the same time of day? 2) are you weighing in the buff or with clothes on? If with clothes, is it the same clothes? 3) have you used the restroom right before weighing each day? 4) have you had the EXACT same eating pattern each day? 5) how much water are…

Got a recommendation for this group from my aunt. I'd like to join, too! I've done 1 intentional workout on my new Zumba for the Wii. However I have counted the two nights I had to play drumset for my pep band as exercise because that is WAY outside of my normal realm of activity! (I teach middle school and high school…

What is most likely happening is NOT the "gaining" of muscle. (That is nearly impossible to do while eating at calorie deficit.) You are reactivating muscles that you haven't used in awhile. When you do this the muscles starting storing extra glycogen (sugars) for energy while you work out. The problem with storing…

I do once a week. When I start doing more than that, I tend to start obsessing about every tenth of a pound. I also do it at approximately the same time of day, after using the restroom, and nekkid. All kinds of things affect weigh-ins. Full bladders, too much sodium yesterday, not enough fiber yesterday, etc. all make a…

Those are the FiberPlus bars, but I LOVE them!!!!

I use this one also, along with frugalcouponliving.com and raininghotcoupons.com I follow those two on FB. It really is more work than they make it out to be on the show. I buy one paper a week and surf the printable coupon sites (I like swagbucks because I get points towards rewards when I use the coupons) for additional…

While I agree theoretically that making my own breakfast bars would be the best option, I would need to find someone else to make them. Between working full time, taking care of 2 children, scheduling said children's activities, and working out, I barely have time to breath let alone make enough breakfast bars to last us a…

Excited to see some music teachers on here! I teach band and choir to 6th thru 12th graders. I fell off the wagon when school ended last spring. 10 pounds later, I'm back to lose that plus the 8 more. I was told in Oct. that I was going to be non-renewed for next year, and "it isn't anything you did." Evals have all been…

Hi :blushing: I'm back. Have I mentioned that I'm severly lacking in the motivation department lately? Usually DH can bring me back around, but he's been unmotivated lately also. So we've both been slacking big time. Here's my stats: Lisa Goal: 5 Lost: 0 :ohwell: WAA: 18 I got a directive from my doctor that the only…

I'm sorry I've been MIA! Last week was a CRAZY week for me! Monday I took my band to the State Fair and marched in the parade then walked the fair grounds. Wednesday was teacher inservice (yea?). Saturday I took my band to Kansas State University's Band Day where we marched in their parade, and performed during half time…

:laugh: Gotta love this water challenge. I'm HORRIBLE about getting my water in. Adding 2 to my best day last week puts me at a whopping 5! :drinker: I better get on it! I'm a music teacher, and finding time to refill my water bottle and empty my bladder is a HUGE issue for me during the day. But I'll get it figured out…

I'm in. I was a mere 2 pounds away from my goal in May. Now I'm 10 pounds away :grumble: I need to find some motivation. Joining a group worked for me in the beginning, hopefully it will work again! My Halloween goal (which is actually 3 days after my birthday!) is to lose 5 pounds and to get back to my menu planning habit.

couponmom.com has links to several different ones. Good luck!

Honestly, other than searching for "September" in the search box (found above the first post in this topic), I don't have any idea. But I will be starting/joining a new challenge after Labor Day. You're more than welcome to join us! ("Friend" me and you'll see a post in your news feed when I join or start the new…

{hugs} Thank you! It's so easy to get discouraged. I've bounced around 165 (+/- 3 lbs) for just over a year now. I get so frustrated with myself, but then I remember that I have MAINTAINED approx 165 lbs for OVER A YEAR! Considering that I started at over 200 lb, this is no small feat. It's not where I want to be…

It's been a long hot summer. And I have had NO motivation. Between classes (finished my masters degree) and vacation I did a BAD job of keeping track of my food. Rather than losing this summer, I have managed to gain 4 lbs and then lose 1 of those. School starts back up on Monday, so hopefully with getting back to a…

A rule of thumb that I use is that the sodium should be roughly equal to the calories. My calories are currently set at 1500, so that puts me at the low end of recommendation. My maintenance cals are at 2000, so that's right in there.

April 25: 164 lbs May 2: 163 lbs May 9: 164 lbs May 16: 163 lbs June 6: 164 lbs GW: 160 lbs I haven't been logging very well for several weeks now. To the point where I got an email from MFP yesterday inviting me back! Uggg. It's been tough staying motivated lately. I've been pretty good about getting exercise in, just not…

Sorry I didn't check in earlier today! It's the last week of school, and I had my daughter's "field day." We had a blast, but poor kid got a cramp in her quad when they were running the 4X100 relay. I was there taking a picture (to send to Dad) so I ran the rest of the way holding her hand. Then we stretched it out until…

April 25: 164 lbs May 2: 163 lbs May 9: 164 lbs May 16: 163 lbs GW: 160 lbs I am nothing if not consistent! :laugh: That's ok. I've set my cals for maintenance until next month. Then I'll drop it back down to 1 lb a week. With not being able to access the site from work, I've been doing more of a paper log (in the notepad…
