The best naps comes from after a killer workout!

Student, mom of 3, trying to be more active next semester. I've been on here for a few years but it's HARD while in class.

You are inspirational my friend!

I just kept trying black coffee and it finally stuck. Now anything sweet in my coffee I can't stand.

Great Job! I am wrapping up stage 4! I love it! I can't wait to post pics when I'm done! :)

Honestly I cannot fathom not liking water!!! What do you do when you're thirsty? You're bloated from not drinking enough water, water isn't the cause of your bloat. You need to retrain your brain because naturally that is all our body wants to hydrate. Try ice water, lemon water.. Sorry I'm not much help.

Congrats! That's awesome news!!! :flowerforyou:

I am having this problem too. I haven't had acne since high school (I'm 31 now), and its back!!! Ahhhh so annoying!! I went to the dermatologist for the first time and they gave me some cream. Guess what??? It made it worst!!! Ugh! I stopped the cream and now I am clearing up and find that I am just more prone to have a…

If he's not responding, then I think it's time to move on! It won't be awkward. You snooze you loose!

What ever you do, just don't smother yourself with perfumes (spray or lotions). I find these more repulsive and offending while working out in the gym then anybody's BO I have smelt!!!! My #1 pet peeve in the gym! I think others have given great advice, and make sure in isn't something a doctor might have to look at. Also…

I am copying from the first thread since it's now continued onto a new one. Me: 31years old SAHM of 3 (9yo, 3yo, 18months) 5'9'' current 145 was 200+ after delivering my last bubs goal ??? I am more working on body composition and reducing body fat% although I haven't lost weight in months I am losing inches I eat at…

wow went through the 20 pages and found a few similar and sent requests. Add me similar "twins" :) Me: 31years old SAHM of 3 (9yo, 3yo, 18months) 5'9'' current 145 was 200+ after delivering my last bubs goal ???

Going back to smoking should be "not an option" for you!! It's understandable that you might have gained weight the first month but I would suspect that you're over the hard part of kicking that stinky habit. Are you eating more to make up for not having a cig? Try gum, doing something with your hands besides eating. Don't…

1500 still might not be enough. I wouldn't go below 1800, and that's still pretty low. I'm not trying to preach but you'll have to decide between BF or weight loss at a significant calorie deficit. Most like likely you're milk supply will decrease and its very hard work to increase if this happens. I weaned my daughter a…

What's the 2nd thing you all have in common besides 1200 calorie goal?....You all just started!!!!!!! Because it isn't sustainable for a long period of time for most people! Why only eat 1200??? Is it a race to see who can lose the weight the fastest (then usually gain it back cause you're body and metabolism gets all out…

Congrats! You look great! Your words are perfect!

I too was surprised to see how little calories are burned doing yoga. I thought mfp data bank underestimated this, because I too would be sweating and feeling like I just worked out. Then I got my hrm, did the same yoga dvds and found out I actually burned LESS then MFP estimated!!!! I do yoga flow so it's not a full on…

Congrats! Awesome!

I live out in vegas and pool parties are the norm in the summer. I felt uncomfortable all the time watching all the little other skinny women look awesome having a fun time. I wanted to be at my goal this past summer, which didn't happen, but I was close enough to actually get into a 1 piece suit. Next summer it's on,…

I have this same problem!!! I visit my very unhealthy in-laws and try to bring some protein bars and grab a few things from the grocery store but it's inevitable I'm going to consume what she makes or where we end up. The temptation is very hard too, they have their after dinner desserts every night! I am trying harder to…

I really liked the Kurt Johnsen's APY60 DVD set. You can get it on amazon, 10 weeks of dvd's. I really enjoyed it!!!

Tell me about it!!!! I have a real life experience that just happened to me. Been in my spin class for over a month now and finally introduced myself to the woman spinning next to me. Instead of a possible friend and support person in my class she right away hands me a beachbody/shakology card and then blows up my email.…

Natural maple syrup or my favorite a little bit of powdered sugar and some strawberries!

I love my polar FT40! You can get them on amazon for half the price! I like that it can store my workouts. Strap is comfortable. I'd recommend any polar depending on the amount you want to spend. Like I said check out amazon after you look at the polar website to compare the different models

Congrats! What an amazing transformation!

Christmas time will be hard for me also, and my first one while one MFP! I love baking and cooking and I know I won't stop, just hoping I won't consume too much of it!! My husband is a firefighter so I'm planning on still baking and cooking, just sending it to the firehouse after I taste it lol

I'm not sure what your daily calories are set at but make sure you're eating enough to not feel like you hungry all the time. That would get old fast if I was constantly hungry. MFP sets to 1200 often and honestly not sure how anyone does this. Instead of looking to lose 2 or more pounds a week just aim for 1 and just a…

You're doing great! You look awesome and look more happy!
