If you search the boards for building muscle while losing weight, there are a million different opinions out there. My 2 cents would be to see how your body is responding. How long have you been trying to lose weight? Have you noticed that you are toning up as well? I personally was able to build a lot of muscle while…

IVe never tracked my miles, but which I had. I will start doing that Jan 1. Does anyone know of a good app for Iphone? I wear a HR monitor (polar) but no gps. I did just get new nike running shoes and there is a gps chip in them...does anyone use that app to track?

I used OEP this summer to kickstart my metabolism during a plateau. I actually went to my pcp and asked her about it. She said to try it! I was on a strict diet and working out 6 days a week, doing insanity. I stopped taking it in September but I just started again for the next 2 weeks so I get a higher calorie burn when…

Awesome job!! It will just keep getting easier and easier if you work at it! Congrats!

My friend just got bangs like that and it looks awesome. Lots of upkeep. Keep that in mind, but if you can handle frequent bang trims- do it. I love that look. But, you do look great now too! You have beautiful hair!

Well, this will probably shock some people, but my ex-husband and I re-married. So we got divorced, stayed in touch and then a few years later got back together and remarried. Its been almost 10 years that we have been together again and 2 kids later we are happier then ever. :)

I am hoping to have this topic opened for discussion again...Im considering getting these running shoes and would love to know if anyone has tried them?

I am running my first 5K this sat as well! Im nervous but I can run 5 miles without stopping. That being said, Im slow. And I keep worrying about my time which I know I shouldnt think about. Good luck to you!!

If you go over your calories for the day...take a look at your weekly chart. Sometimes, its good to zigzag your calories.

I too, wondered about this topic and scanned the message boards for infomation and then decided to take the plunge. I had hit a major plateau and couldnt kick start my weight loss regardless of what I tried- less cals, more cals, adding more strength, doing more cardio, etc. I actually went to my doctor because of this and…

Your calories are way too low, although I dont know your height/BMI. Sometimes the body gains in the early stages of weight loss. The first month of diet/exercise for me, I gained too. Then the weight came off, then it stopped again. Im still trying to figure out my next move to start losing again. Good luck and dont give…

Thank you for the posts...I got my labs back from the doctor yesterday and my T4 is low...meaning I may have hypothyroidism. This makes sense to me because I have PCOS too and that can be caused by thyroid issues. I also have borderline high glucose levels which worries me, since I have been so healthy the last 4 months. I…

I use body Fortress in chocolate. 2 scoops have 52 grams of protein and only 8 grams of carbs. They taste really good. I mix with ice, water and a banana. I am looking to mix it up though...thinking of shakeology.

I too, have PCOS. I am considered "lean" for PCOS but need to lose body fat. I have 2 kids but both were concieved through IVF. If anyone want to be friends for our mutual weightloss journey or for fertility support- I have been there done that! Im happy to listen or share my expirence. Good luck to all!

Thank you everyone for the advice. I have changed my calories to be set higher and we shall see....

Cbond- those were great articles, especially the second one by Natalie. Thank you!!! :)

Okay, thanks for all the feedback. To elaborate, Im 5'4 and I do eat most of my exercise calories back. I wear a HRM so I know pretty much what to log for exercise cals burned. I actually love how I feel when Im done working out, so the exercise Im doing does release my stress (mostly caused by 2 little ones at home). Im…

I calculated my average weekly calories (net) and they are as follows: 6/19- 1314 6/26- 6/30- 1334 7/1- 1407 7/8- 1474 7/16- 1666 7/21- 1412 7/29- 1350 8/6- 1375 The week of 7/16 I gained weight (3 lbs). Im scared to increase my calories, but willing to give it a shot...what should I increase them to? I have it set at 1360…

I would love to be 127!! Did you have any trouble getting past the 130 point? How did you get to a size 2? I did just buy new citizens jeans, size 26 but I think they run on the larger side.

I have a polar ft40 and just bought my mom a polar ft7 from amazon for $77.00!! Both have a chest strap. I think I would have purchased the ft7 if i had to do it again. The FT40 has a fitness test on it for more accurate calorie burn, but not worth the extra money in my opinion. The polar website has a comparison feature…

Im 5'4 and had a baby in December. I have lost 20-21 pounds since then and my current weight is 133-134. My low was July 4, where I was 131. I have hit a major plateau since the beginning of July and havent been losing any more weight. I net around 1350 a day, or less. Sometimes on the weekend, I will have a day where I…

I use so delicious coconut milk creamer, french vanilla flavor. Its so good in coffee and now I dont need to use artificial sweetner. I also use coconut milk, sugar free in my protien shakes from time to time.
