bump for later. gaining lbs, not losing inches.

bump

bump for later. nasty gain this past 2 wks, doesnt seem like water wt, no uterus so its not TOM. getting ready to freak out! everyone's responses will be interesting.

i'd try 5-6 as an incline. good for butt and legs.

word.

be careful when logging calories burned. i have found that MFP estimates waaay high. get a heart rate monitor that can measure calories for a more accurate number- not perfect, but probably more realistic. if you do not want/cannot afford a heart rate monitor, only log about half of what MFP tells you are calories burned.…

start small but start somewhere. i've let myself go for a lack of better words, and would love to complete p90x or insanity, but i'd probably have a heart attack first. tried some Jillian....maybe next month. bustin' it on the treadmill, eliptical, and hiphop abs. some weights. it is getting easier quicker. best of luck. i…

love the honesty:flowerforyou:

most definately. if at all possible, i suggest starting on a treadmill so you can learn your pace. that is what i did. eliptical for muscle/joints and treadmill for mobility. once i could breeze thru 4.2m/h on the treadmil, i started running. prior i could not even run a block. period. best of luck. you will get there.

me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!

pick me! pick me!

38y/o 5'8 sw- 191 cw- 181 gw- 150ish?? bigger framed, so i have a goal jean size of 29 (not skinny jeans/ultra low cut). currently 31-33 depending on brand/style.

similar experience. i would say at this time i am 'average' with ht/wt, looking to drop 20-30lbs. my BMI by the standard charts is roughly 27%. did the whole standard/athletic scale thing, and using 'standard' it said my body fat was 46%. uuhhh, i realize i have some extra pushin' cushin', but no way can that be correct.…

^^agree. i know some peeps who weigh daily, only log once a week (set day), but they also track thier dailies in a spreadsheet.

dansko. spendy but last. i just replaced a pair i have had for 10yrs- almost everyday wear (nursing). you can get stylish one's too. i highly recommend. also, try have a professional fit you for them. the heel is supposed to be loose as someone else stated. they do take a while to break in, but well worth it. DO NOT buy…

you can add me!

i still havent lost the last 10lbs from my soon to be 13yo!

my advice: find a really good bean and grind your own. GOOD coffee tastes so yummy black. i drink a lot of coffee in the morning, and ufortunately i cannot afford to drink the good stuff daily. sigh. or, how about using extracts? vanilla, almond, etc. you would need just a dash, it will save on cals, and you can sweeten…

if your food choices were over the top before MFP, and now you are looking to streamline and clean up your dietary habits, i would suggest one vice per week. for EXAMPLE:, you drink 2% milk and want to switch to skim (personally, i like the creaminess of 2%, but can essentially do without the added fat/cals, and until my…

yep, 2-3 glasses per day. helps with hunger control. has it truely aided my wt loss? dont know. i will say this, there was a time years ago that i gave up dairy for about year, a psychological glitch, per se. in nursing school we learned that mammary glands are just modified sweat glands, so drinking cow sweat messed with…

first thing in the morning, after i pee, naked.

do what you can when you can. my life is the same. i generally only work out during my breaks at work, which equates to 60min of cardio m-f. life is just too busy.

going old school this time. better food choices and more movement! request sent.

me too! all of 'em.

i never used to be a breakfast person. however, i have learned that if i have a kinda high calorie, high protein breakfast, i do just fine until lunch, and actually supper is my smallest meal, sometimes i will just have fruit/veggies b/c i am not hungry. that said, i just cant get out of bed and eat, i'd throw up- food…

try mini-goals so this journey doesnt seem too daunting. for example, try for a 10% loss of your current body wt, or down 1-2 sizes. just as an FYI- when you do start exercising and your muscles start to strengthen, you may not see the scale move but your clothes should fit better. and, i would recommend a heart rate…
