Hi, Whitney. My husband, while not actively looking to gain weight, needs to consume a lot more calories than I do and has a very fast metabolism. He's 6'3'' and maybe 160, while I'm 5'5'' and 140. We eat the same food, but very different portion sizes. I measure and weigh, he piles the food onto his plate. He snacks often…

I'm back on MFP after a year-long hiatus. Losing 5 pounds would bring me to my goal weight, so hopefully joining this group will help me get back on the horse/wagon/what-have-you. SW: 170 CW: 139.5 GW: 135 Weigh-in Start of month (06/01): 139.5 I'm looking forward to: -cabin vacation w/ boyfriend and baby mid-July -camping…

So much inspiration on one thread! Thanks, everyone! The first picture was when I re-started MFP on January 6th, when I weighed 164 lbs, and the last one was taken recently at 144 lbs. I'm 5'5", 11 months postpartum. I don't have a clear goal but I know I'm not there yet.

I forgot to add: GO BUY YOURSELF A NEW OUTFIT! YOU DESERVE IT!

Congratulations on the postpartum weight loss! You look great! I had my first almost 11 months ago, but it took me until she was 6 months old before I started getting back into shape. I was doing really well at first, but started to lose focus once I got to a comfortable size. However, I feel like getting back on track…

Tell him how you feel. I'm sure he's truly just trying to be supportive and doesn't want to one-up you. However, if he wants to lose weight then he should be free to do so; just politely ask him not to share his losses so enthusiastically, perhaps? No, scratch that last part - just go talk to him! If you're not losing…

Ack! Don't feel like a loser! I carry a 20 pound baby all day and it gives me super powers; that's my secret.

I'll be starting Extreme Shred & Shred tomorrow, so I'll let you know what it's like after I finish it.

I had completed 30DS (around 25 minutes long) before starting NMTZ (about 50 minutes long), so I was able to do all of the circuits. My advice would be to take a breather while letting the video continue to run, then try to jump back into it when you catch your breath; who knows, you might be able to complete it. You could…

How did you do this week, Optimisticjes? Care to give a little review of this routine? How does it compare to 30DS? I'm waiting for Extreme Shred to be in at the library (I'm next in line), so hopefully I'll be able to start this routine in a week or so. Meanwhile, I'm doing No More Trouble Zones and recently finished 30DS.

I haven't tried her yoga video yet, but I got great results from the Shred and am already noticing a difference after only doing four sessions of NMTZ. I really recommend you give it a try. I haven't seen anyone post any before/after photos of NMTZ, so I think I'll post mine after 30 days; that is, if I get results. Good…

Today was day 2 of NMTZ for me. There aren't many people talking about this video on MFP, unlike 30ds. I recently finished 30DS and was really impressed/pleasantly surprised by the results - I lost about 14 inches overall and really saw a difference in my before and after photos. Hopefully NMTZ will help me tone up. How do…

Great job! This is my second round of 30ds as well. After completing it in 40 days (weekends off, a couple days off in the beginning because I was so stiff), I lost 9 pounds and around 14 inches. This workout is perfect for me because I can do it while the little one naps, and I still find it challenging. This time around…

You should try the New York Times no knead bread recipe - it's ridiculously simple and delicious. I am generally clueless in the kitchen, so if I can do it, anyone can! I've been using this recipe for about a year, and we make about 3 loaves a week, each time with a little variation. My favourite is 2 C white, 1 C whole…
