  • Everyone is different. My husband is the same as you, he can't eat before a workout or he gets "sick". I'm the total opposite, I have to eat something small or else the lack of food makes me nauseous. :-)

  • I think it looks pretty good. :-) Are you eating before your workout? It could just be that you need to fuel up before hitting the gym. :-) Great job.

  • If you step back and look at your situation, it's going to overhwelm you. One thing at a time. Don't let your physical limitations get you down. Take this time to focus on your diet instead. Also, I carry a lot of my weight in my belly too. There's a book out called "Wheat Belly" and I haven't actually read the book but I…

    in Losing that Pregnancy Weight!! Comment by skyler8937 April 2013
  • Tips? Hmmm....I think my best advice would be to stay realistic about the process. You're gonna have bad days. You'll probably have about 2 weeks where your weight loss efforts seem to be sabotaged by your monthly cycle due to the cravings, the constant hunger and the fatigue. :sad: Don't give up. Be kind to yourself.…

  • I had my MFP settings to lose 1.5 pounds per week and they had me at 1500 calories. I wasn't losing anything and so I adjusted my settings to losing 1 pound per week and MFP upped me to 1750 calories. The weight is melting away like crazy. :-)

    in 12 WEEKS IN... NOT BAD! Comment by skyler8937 March 2013
  • Broox - It's taken me 2 years to take it off. I'm currently at my pre-pregnancy weight and now just have to shed the college weight/first years of marriage weight. I remember someone saying, in regards to pregnancy weight, that it took 9 months to put it on so don't expect it to just come off. And, that's been pretty true…

  • And if I could just add... If you are a sugar addict, it will take some time to detox your body from that. When you totally cut out the sugary snacks like the M&Ms and the cookies, your body will go into some serious withdrawel for at least a week. You'll have mood swings and your energy levels will fluctuate but hang in…
    in HELP I am always hungry!!! Comment by skyler8937 March 2013
  • I was stuck at 220 for like two weeks, I had my settings to lose 1.5 pounds a week. MFP told me to consume 1,500 calories a day and so I was. And I was feeling extremely satisfied, I wasn't feeling hungry or deprived so I stuck to my 1,500. And each day the scale stayed the same, I would get more and more frustrated. Then…
    in OK, I'm ready for some help. What am I doing wrong Comment by skyler8937 March 2013
  • I am not a diabetic so I can't really comment as far as that goes.... But, I can tell you that it's SO important to PLAN, PLAN, PLAN. If you're going away on business and you know you'll be eating out often, do your research. Make a list of things that you consider acceptable to eat at a restaurant that won't hinder your…

    in so THIS is what diet success feels like :) Comment by skyler8937 March 2013
  • Yeah, I can typically count on plateauing around my cycle. In fact, I may even gain a few pounds but once my cycle is over, I know I'll see the scale budge. So, hang in there!! And definitely look for patterns --- I think women's body's tend to be be "cyclic". :-)
    in advice needed Comment by skyler8937 March 2013
  • Well, you're not alone. I can guarantee that a week before my cycle starts I am going to be hungry all day, every day. Yesterday I went over my calories by 600 (partly because it was my dad's birthday and we took him out to dinner) but also because I KNEW I was going to feel hungrier than usual so I packed more in my…

  • I am also 5'10" and I have seen the best results with walking and Zumba. I HATE running and my chiropractor actually told me to stay away from it since it's not a passion of mine. He says the hard pounding is bad for my back & knees. Which was fine by me because I don't enjoy it at all. I think Zumba & walking has worked…
