I war an hour to an hour and a half BEFORE my workouts and within an hour after. I too would get lightheaded during a workout if I didn't eat properly before a workout. I usually eat a banana or some oatmeal and a couple turkey sausage, nothing too heavy.

My birthday was Friday and as of this morning I'm up 3 pounds. TOM just ended too and I know I didn't over eat by that much so I'm confident the scale will be back to normal in a few days!

I had to invest in a good sports bra about $30-40 i think, and I have to wear it over my regular bra to get adequate support.

Please don't be discourages!! You have to start somewhere and it looks like you are off to a great start. Any exercise that you are doing now is an improvement if you were previously sedentary! If you feel comfortable increasing it to 30 minutes 3 times a week, try that and just continue to increase as you can handle it.…

I'm guilty of this too. I was never satisfied until I had eaten to the point of being extremely uncomfortable. I Thought the point of eating WAS to get full. But I'm glad to say that I have since learned to eat to fuel my body and that all those fatty, rich foods I loved so dearly should be eaten sparingly and not at every…

Yay!!! I'll be joining you soon!

My Fiance and I are currently renovating an old house that's been in his family for generations and I couldn't be happier! It has so much charm that new houses dont have and that's what I love about it...a great big porch, tall ceilings, and large family rooms. It is a LOT of work but totally worth it.

Yep! I need to lost 30 or so pounds before we TTC which I am still undecided on at the moment. Our first will be 2 next month and we finally agreed to try after our wedding in 5 months but now I'm not so sure if I'll be ready by then but definitely within the next year! Good luck losing and TTC, feel free to add me!

I now realize how clueless I was before MFP. I have even lost almost 30 pounds on weight watchers but I counted points and didn't really learn anything. MFP opened my eyes and made me realize that what I thought was healthy was really not!

Love this!

I don't give specific numbers anymore. I just tell people I'm aiming for a healthy body fat % and bmi.

I've lost two inches from my thighs the last two months doing squats, lunges, and leg presses!

:laugh: What in the world is a bingo wing?

Not really sure how to answer. I "try" to have one once a week, as it said in some written information from my trainer. But I usually end up finding a way to fit it in to my daily calories, either by eating less throughout the day or exercising more. I frequently have days where I go over my daily go but never over…

Glad you posted this. My trainer and I were talking about this recently. He told me not to quit after my wedding in March and honestly I had no intentions to. To me this goes beyond a "big" life event. Im doing this for me, I want to be healthy and enjoy life!

Haven't checked out the report section yet. I noticed that I've been getting much less cardio lately as well, especially since I went from lifting weights 3 days a week to five. So I've been making the most of what little cardio I do get in by doing HIIT. I either do the elliptical on the interval section and crank up the…

I've always been a picky eater and afraid to try new things. Now, I have certain goals that won't happen unless I get my diet under better control. I'm being forced to find new, healthier options!

bump!

2 servings per box. I was a little bummed that a serving has 460mg of sodium but I was definitely not expecting it to taste that good!! I'm in love!!

Hi there! We are neighbors! I'm in downtown Little Rock! Feel free to add me :smile:

I have about 30ush pounds to lose but I will be here for a WHILE so feel free to add me as well! I've got a wedding coming up in about 6 months, then we hope to try for another baby within the next year. Gaining 60 pounds during my first pregnancy is why I'm here in the first place so I want to make sure it doesn't happen…

I imagine myself walking down the aisle in my wedding dress in 6 months. It also helps to have good music on your ipod!!

I've been working with a trainer for a little over two months and I must say the weightlifting has made a huge difference. My arms and back were my biggest problem areas because I'm getting married in 6 months and I don't want any flab hanging over my dress. I'm loving the way my arms are shaping up!

I too am finally able to get the results I want with the help of my trainer. I've lost weight in the past but this time it just wasn't working. I've learned so much working with him.

I most definitely wont be drinking it all. I can only drink half of a small before I toss the rest out.

I refuse to workout without my ipod!

Not sure of the exact inches I've lost but I'm able to fit into pants I haven't worn in over 2 years and I'd have to say its mainly do to the strength training that I'm doing. Its made a world of a difference. When I tell people how much I've lost, their reaction is "really?? looks like you've lost a LOT more than that!"

Hi there!! I'm getting married 3/10/12 and it can't get here soon enough! I actually bought my dress months ago in my current size. I just played in it today and it looks amazing!! I have to be at my goal weight by the end of the year b/c I'm taking bridal pictures in January and any alterations will have to be done by…

Bahhahahaha!!! Gotta share this!

My membership is only $10 a month and I couldn't be happier! There was an initial, one-time start up fee of $60 and an annual fee of $25 but STILL compared to what I've paid in the past it's totally worth it. I go at least 5 times a week and started working with a trainer last month. It's been the best thing I've done for…
