OMG I feel the same way!! As the scale numbers go down I feel at some point it will stop and no matter what I do I will stay the same. I've been OW my entire life. I don't have a single memory or picture to look back on and say "I want to be like I was then." so I feel like it's never going to happen because I've never…

I liked this article but I wish the author didn't just rant about cardio and gave some alternatives.

My works out are normally this: Sunday: walk 2 miles Monday : weight train Tuesday: Elliptical 35 mins Wednesday: weight train Thursday: Elliptical 35 mins Friday : weight train Saturday: walk 2 miles For weight train I do: weighted squats (at 80 lbs as of today), lateral pulls (at 85 lbs as of today), lower back…

Yeah that's kinda my concern. I know I'm working hard and I know it's gotta be worth something. especially since I'm not doing as much cardio I miss some calories and I don't want to unknowingly put my net calories below 1200.

Personally, a nice guy who can be bad :b

OMG getting a pan just to make this cheesecake!!

I do both. The before is usually mixed nuts at least 30 mins before and some fruit rifgt afterwards if it's cardio or protein shake if it's some sort of lifting.

ahhhh.....yea. I didn't think about that. ok ok ok *mind processing* ....I'll set up a schedule of some sort. I'm in the gym during the 5 weekdays so it shouldn't be that hard to set something up.

I'll give it a try soon. Maybe within the next couple of weeks. I'm starting slow with my push ups. I started doing push ups at knee level. Once I finished that I restarted the same program, still doing them at the knee level but now touching my nose to the floor. My goal is to restart the program doing full pushups.…

I started out not eating back my workout calories, that had me netting below 1000 calories! I started eating back anywhere from half to all of them and I've been slow and steady so far. I think each body is different and will react to calorie deficits and intakes differently. If you do not have any major health issues do…

I think he meant: http://www.nerdfitness.com

Maybe you're thirsty?

OMG it's not just the money that motivates but that horrible *swish swish* sound they make when I walk :(

I am by no means an expert but I'm in the same boat as you. What has helped me ALOT is to make eating junk food an inconvenience. For example, when I go grocery shopping, I don't buy junk food but if we do get some (my husband or son) I have my husband put it away so I won't have a tally in my mind that cookies are in what…

Let me just say: AMAZING...you are my hero :)

I tend to eventually get bored with music...the repetitiveness...so I do audio books. It's kept me going back to the gym so far...I need to know what happens next! :)

Accidentally leaving my lunch at home and eating nothing but fruit for lunch :)

There is an extra space right before the word "from". I was able to open it after removing it.

Exactly! So I think milk/cheese/yogurt should be required and the meat optional or 2nd choice for protein...no?

I forgot to note, I guess I was too worked up about the protein/calcium thing, I was also told to eat unlimited veggies for lunch/dinner.

LOL I think so, I mean I told her exactly what I posted...gained 60 lbs with first pregnancy..want to avoid doing the same thing...had GD, want to keep it at bay....yadda yadda yadda. So it's 10 am, and I've eaten just under 300 calories and I've burned just over 300 and I'm hungry....so I'm kicking her guidelines to the…

I know what you meant. I'm Mexican and it's my favorite food. It's what I grew up on with my parents and what I cook for Gordo at home. Don't get me started on chiles rellenos, tortas and enchiladas...OMG!

My son is not circumcised for the following reasons: 1. If a girl can be responsible and keep herself clean so can a boy 2. They don't use any kind of anesthesia for the procedure and I didn't want my son going through that pain 3. I've heard the loss in extra skin changes their "sensitivity" when they are older, not that…

Thanks ladies!

I like fiber one bars followed by water or chobani yogurt, they have a bunch of protein in them.

Really...no one??

I'm due around April 27th. I had just started MFP three weeks ago and found out this weekend I'm pregnant. I did not make my goal weight so my goal is to not gain too much weight with the pregnancy! I gained a ton of weight with my first :S I'm tracking my calories, I'm not being as strict as I was three weeks ago (1200ish…

I'm due in April too. I feel weird saying that...I wasn't prego last week and now I am. Just found out this weekend :)

I just started MFP two weeks ago and have lost about 6 lbs. I've been very excited about finally getting to a healthier weight and then BAMN!!! Just found out I'm pregnant :D feel free to add me...my goal is to not gain too much weight during this pregnancy...I almost reached 300 with my first :S
