Thank God for people like you.

not eating enough could be your problem. Your body may be in starvation mode and holding on to weight. Make sure you also change up your workouts because your body gets use to the same thing all the time. Muscle confusion is a key element. Make sure your heart rate is in the correct zone for burning fat also. Lot's of…

Don't give up!!! I myself in the last couple years became poor and couldn't afford the gym anymore so I bought a wii and I now do the wii active, wii active 2 workouts at home. Yes you have that initial cost if you don't already own a system but so much money saved in the long run. I've had more results from the wii than…

I feel badly that your sad. Don't be sad. I think it is like you both say that neither of you are happy with yourselves right now and nothing more than that. Your drive will come back! It's hard having a new baby so maybe get a babysitter and plan a date night!

i just got a hrm and the strap will reach 37". However,don't forget you can use velcro and lengthen it yourself. Ihave a polar FT4 and love it. Highly suggest everyone use one

I can't imagine it's the exercising. However something is wrong so I'm glad your going to your doctor.

roflmbo, wear a hrm and when your done look to see how many calories you burned......

The sweat is body water so your probably not going to burn fat but just lose some hydration. Good luck though.

don't be so hard on yourself. know that tomorrow you don't want to feel this guilt and keep your eating on point. That's all. Nothing more nothing less. You are not the only person to have a bad eating day so learn from what made you do it.

i think your doing right by stopping however keep moving a little until you get your breath back and then start again where you left off. It will take time to build yourself up to that cardio level but it will happen.

mine is a weight watchers and it's hard to tell but the man and woman are shapes (like on restroom doors) but very small so you really have to look. Hope that helps.

I do it all the time and just use fat free ingredients or low fat ingredients. I also learned to make a very low fat guacamole. If your interested inbox me.

i think depending on the hours you put in I would change "lifestyle" in profile. If you had it at sedentary move it up. I clean houses but when I'm not working I am home sitting so I set my profile at sedentary and add the hours housecleaning as an exercise in my journal.

i was having the same problem but my scale was old and had been moved from home to home over the years so I decided maybe my old scale was just crap. I went and bought a digital weight watchers scale that measures body fat, body water, bone, and of course weight. Love how it works and even if I don't lose I can check if I…

this is where you can go to figure your BMR, which is what your body burns doing nothing but laying in bed all day. No moving, no exercising, just laying in bed. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/

I am waiting on my Polar now. Should be here tomorrow or next. Their website told me the FT7 wasn't available until Feb so I ordered the FT4. seem to do the same only the line you see between fat burning zone and cardio zone is not on mine. What ever HRM you get take note that if it doesn't ask your weight it will be a…

It makes sense that you would not be as warm. However, I had to reply cause I was laughing about you thawing your fingers out while waiting on replies.

The exact same thing happened to me. EXACT. What I am doing now is weighing myself everyday and I am keeping track to actually find out if our cycle makes a difference. So we will see. BTW I dropped it back off the 2nd day later so.....I am also keeping track of my body water weight on my scale to see if it is going to…

Is the crust/dough included in this count? the only mention of it I'm seeing is when we put the toppings on it. Or is the cauliflower mixture the crust/dough?

There is a person on here by the name of pixelblossom and she is very informed on low carb. Maybe talk to her. She is in my friends list if you want to look her up.

When I was on them I also gained weight, maybe 20, hard to tell exactly. I finally took myself off of them with help of dr cuz you can't just stop. I accepted Jesus into my life and things got better for me. Sure I have down times but they are far a few inbetween. I realize some people will always need the medicine because…

That's how I use to do it when I walked or ran.

MFP tells us to eat them and as long as we stay in our caloric range we will lose the weight. I personally do not eat them, I let it be quicker weight loss cuz I'm impatient.

Good Luck. This is a great site for support. Everyone on here is about losing weight or getting in shape. None of that extra crap like FB.

Protein builds muscle so I never worry about it being to high just too low. If you do any resistance training then you want your protein.

this is my whole problem too so I'm not allowed cheat days. For someone to tell me I can have ONE slice of pizza is just rubbing it in then i'm just gonna be mad. Like my son insisting when we went grocery shopping to pick up the Etemans cinnamon rolls, or just having to stop at a fast food place so the smell of his burger…

I use to believe I could never give up a lot of things but with God's help I have given them up. We should not be addicted to anything regardless of what it is.

good job girl.

For those that aren't aware. It isn't necessarily the eating more that makes us gain weight when we quit smoking. Nicotine RAISES our metabolism so when we quit our metabolism slows down so you have to try and expend more energy to make up the difference.

I would stick to the 1200 and see what happens or get in more aerobic style exercise.
