Thank you, I wish I had the money for a trainer. It sounds awesome. The area I live in this gym knows they run the show and charge like it too. If my money situation changes, I plan to look into it. So, ones not connected to a gym are more affordable? And I will definitely send you a friend request :) I am always looking…

Thank you :) Thats what I am doing :). My favorite machine lately is this seated elliptical from Octane. Its a nice combo between the bike and the elliptical. I also can control my pace better than on a regular elliptical (it kills me that I can't work out on an elliptical the way I used to). I use the treadmill in between…

Key word: Trainers They get paid to give advice, trust me I have tried. They aren't handing out freebies. Their personal trainer costs are ridiculous. And everyone but the girls who make the smoothies and protein shakes are trainers. There are no middle men who hand out fitness advice. The most advice I received was that I…

I moved to another state and am currently outside of my coverage area. I can not afford doctors right now and can't drive 2 hours to see one. I work midnights 5-6 days a week. It's just not an option right now. I would also like to point out I barely make enough money to cover my expenses as it is. Suggesting things like…

I wish they did but being the only gym in the area (other than curves, and not that many people like curves- I don't) they milk it for all its worth. Training costs an arm and a leg, and every time I try to talk to one of the trainers to get advice I get nothing out of them or they tell me I should sign up for things like…

Again, what is with all the "seriously"s? THERE ARE FORUMS WITH MORE STUPID QUESTIONS THAN MINE. And like I told the other person, I BARELY MAKE MORE THAN MINIMUM WAGE. My health insurance certainly won't cover it. "SERIOUSLY" PEOPLE, DON"T YOU THINK IF I COULD AFFORD TO I WOULD ALREADY HAVE GONE TO SEE SPECIALISTS? Why…

First off, I am serious. Second, I need to lose 100 lbs. When you google various keywords to get gym workouts, its either success stories (for the serious weightloss) or skinny women workouts. Frankly, its not designed for someone like me. Your rudeness is unappreciated, and my gym is expensive as it is. I can't afford to…

Do NOT do that!!! You will do so much more harm to yourself than good. First off, you won't lose the weight that way, and any you do lose will come right back and possibly worse. Your body will enter starvation mode, and will automatically store EVERYTHING you eat. The max amount of weight you should PLAN to lose is 2 lbs…

People on these forums who readily put others down, and clearly forgot that none of this is easy. Who cloud other peoples efforts with negativity, and trample on their hopes whether misguided or not.

First off, I would like to say that while I went along with the anti GMO flow at first, that was before I truly understood. There's a whole lot of fear mongering. There are no proven risks to GMOs, but thats because there isn't enough data to really tell. So far, it seems okay. People think it goes against nature and…

You can't gain weight overnight, for one. Its literally impossible. What you can do is have 3 lbs of food in your digestive tract, and lose said weight by evacuating your bowls. Weight fluctuates because of titchy things like this. Weigh yourself before your first meal, when all of the tank is completely empty. Its the…

Slightly femme? I'm not super girly, but I'm definitely not butch lol. I like to just be me, and me likes to shop the guys section and the girls section, and wear whatever fits my mood. Attitude wise the lines blur.

Fiber One 90 calorie brownie Whipped Yogurt (chocolate, strawberry, yum!) Fresh spinach, sauteed (no butter or oil or any of that) with a table spoon of CJ Korean BBQ Original. Seriously, a huge helping of that is less calories than even the brownie! So definitely a perfect snack. Tastes amazing, filling, and under 100…

Oh my god, I think I love you. THANK YOU! This is awesome! I eat lean cuisines because I don't know the calories and etc on any of the things I like to cook. Hell, half the things I cook I never measured so I wouldn't know how to measure it now to know. It will be nice to find a good recipe and know the calories in it :D.

Its okay to cheat now and then. If anything, thats dieting responsibly. If you feel deprived, dieting will never work. Get yourself some chinese, just don't over eat, and be mindful about what you get. Fried rice will be okay. Don't do it all the time, but schedule yourself some cheat days so you have a day you can eat…

P90X3? I think I am out of the loop. I've had P90X, whats P90X3? Is there 2 too?

My job. We don't have a fridge or microwave in the crew room, because in reality when you work in fast food they would rather you buy their food when you are on break. And I work at McDonalds. So, yikes. One EVM would blow my calorie allowance away. And lets face it, that side salad on the dollar menu isn't appetizing at…

Thanks guys, loving the advice! I plan to check out those bra suggestions, I can always use another bra and if it works thats even better! To those who mentioned a sports bra over a regular bra, I totally do that for work. I do a lot of bending and hate readjusting after wiping down so many tables, so thats helped. I…

Heck no. I bloat like nothing else and I sometimes cheat. Periods are harsh on me, I lose a lot of my body's resources and get craving and needs to eat something to make up for the deficit. :/ Periods aren't supposed to cause anemia but my gyno says something makes me periods too harsh now and then. If it falls during a…

I have the same goals. 100 lbs in 1 year. 2 lbs a week should get me at least that much with diet and exercise. I would love to have the company of others trying for the same goal, so feel free to add me :). Its easier to accomplish a goal with support and friends.

MFP has the ability to calculate what your calorie goal should be based on your height, weight, age, gender, activity level, and how much weight you are looking to lose. You should see what number it throws out to you :). There are also a lot of sites that can calculate it for you. The basics of it is that based on your…

My significant other works midnights often so when I have a stretch of time off I flip onto that schedule so we see each other. I count one day as when I wake up to when I go to sleep.

I may sound crazy, but I love that my calorie limit is about 1,200. MFP calculated it as 1,240. It seems hard at first, but heres the thing- what you are eating is what makes the difference. I don't know if you like your veggies, that could be the hardest part. Taste palates adjust though and soon it becomes a preference.…

I'd love to update about it. You should share your progress with me too :). I have heard that people who need a slightly bigger kick when they plateau or are on the last bit add Razor instead of any of the regular ones, so I might try that later if my weight loss slows, of it sounds like it helps. I go up to 2 pills later…

You look amazing! I want progress like that. :) Majorly inspiring.

Do you think when I see a doctor next I ought to push for more testing? I mean even if it isn't, if they just ran some more tests maybe they'd figure out whats wrong. I've often been dismissed by doctors. I rattle off my list of problems and they immediately don't care, like I overreact or something. I do have a lot of…

I wonder why that happens then, I thought it would be the caffeine that did it. How soon did you experience that? Did it take a while or happen within the first days? I just want to give A an idea of if something would happen what to look for and how long until we would know if we were in the clear or not. I know it sounds…

Your mood improved? In what ways? I was curious about that, since mentions mood stuff. I have had issues with anxiety and depression. Thats why I have been being cautious with it, as well as my heart, but if anything I felt calmer or more relaxed the past few days and I didn't know if that was just circumstance or the…

My doctor thought that and thyroid might be part of my problems, but I was tested for both with a lack of significant results. I know risperdal really screws up hormones and most of my issues started from that. I only recently regained my cycle. My hair and skin still suffer, but with care are improving. My doctors really…

@LexiMelo One of the first places I checked was Amazon. The problem with that is you get people who took it for a few days, a couple weeks at most and are butthurt that the pounds weren't just falling off. The other half are people propositioned to market. I see job ads all the time asking people to write positive reviews…
