All I can say is YAY! Menopause! No more of any of those symptoms. Its the best thing ever.

Zumba, 30 Day Shred, to name just two.

I'm interested in rowing but not sure I could fit a rowing machine in my home and I don't have gym membership. I did see that one of the Wii fit games has rowing and you can get the rowing dohicky for it. Has anyone tried it? I'd be interested in hearing opinions.

Nothing like a belly laugh to start the day! I love these!

Get in a really good workout the day of so you have a deficit to use up.

San Diego, California to Everett, Washington in 26 hours straight.

1200 calories is too low for your body to function properly. Check your BMR and adjust it from there. And yes, eat back those exercise calories to fuel your workout.

I stuck it out (off and on) for ten years. That is 10 years my son and I will never get back. The frustration and tension in the home was awful. I should have left when the ex-wife dumped the first kid on us. We'd been married four months. It NEVER got better. We had been married 6 years when she dumped thee second kid. He…

I like to work out at night. I figure out what I'm having for dinner, check out my food diary and then exercise for the extra calories. :)

I've been through the same situation. My son has rules, chores and treats me with respect. My step children were violent, lazy, rude and disrespectful. Hubby made a zillion excuses for them and ultimately it became an armed camp - them against us. I finally left the relationship. I should have done it years before. Best…

Hi Vicky: Welcome! You've taken the first step. MFP is a great place for motivation and support and lots of advice - some good, some not so good :). The important thing is to log every thing you eat or drink everyday; log your exercise, and eat back at least most of your exercise. Make sure you figure out your BMR so that…

I like to have a glass of skim milk with my nuts, peanut butter and avocados when I have extra calories.

EXACTLY!!!!

Pay Definitely pay. You'll feel good about it and so will they.

You may have to bite the bullet and get fitted for a bra. Yes, fitted. Most of us don't wear the right sized bra and therefore, the boob spillover....

Don't allow yourself to be pushed into anything. You've been together less than a year, you're young, what's the rush? I've been married and in my case it always turned into controlling, jealousy and cheating. I enjoy being alone and plan on staying that way! On the other hand, my parents just celebrated their 57th wedding…

I started out losing about a pound every five days but then I stalled out for few weeks. I upped my calories and added new exercise routines and now I'm back on track. I've been on here for a little over 45 days, SW 158, CW 147, GW 130.

I'm definitely an apple. Narrow shoulders, boobs, and then belly! Narrow hips and thighs....I think I'm an hourglass trying to get out though.

Sugar free pudding.

I felt like I got a good workout. It was confirmed this morning when my legs felt like spaghetti and my hips and midsection were sore. But I also woke up totally energized and in a great mood!

I started the kettlebell body shred yesterday and I feel the same way! I got in the car this morning and almost couldn't put in the clutch because my legs feel like spaghetti! My body is so sore! BUT I also work up feeling great! Good mood and totally energized, maybe that is a by-product.

: Drinking while posting???? :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Okay, that was REALLY cool!

I'm alone, but not lonely. There's nothing wrong with being alone - I get to work on myself, and make myself happy. I do what I want when I want and I don't answer to anyone else! Maybe changing your outlook a bit will help. You're very young and this is a great opportunity to work on YOU and not worry about anyone else!…

Would you consider opening your food diary? If we look at it, it may help. Are you drinking enough water? Eating too much sodium? Eating back your exercise calories? Don't give up, it may need to be just tweaked a bit....

Happened to me too. I upped my calories to 1330 and eat back exercise calories and its working again. I was 1200 which is just way TOO low.

My 14 year old son made candied bacon a few nights ago. I grabbed a couple of slices before he got it to it and had a bacon, egg, cheese, tomato sandwich. I stayed within my calories. :bigsmile:

I tried some Wylers pink lemonade (o calorie),one packet to two gallons of water. I've never been fan of sweets or sodas, I usually drink water. What I found is that 16 ounces of Wylers made me feel really bloated. I don't get that feeling with water. I won't be drinking the Wylers again.

Call it a cheat day and move on. Its not the end of the world....

I've had the same problem with trying to figure out how to log exercise. Some of it I don't even know how to classify! Core training, kettlebell? What is that exactly? I watch this thread to see if anyone has suggestions.
