I get the same thing too - it's normal (which I have to 'remind' myself so I'm not discouraged lol). Now I can literally 'feel' when I'm bloated (water weight) in the morning - so I don't bother weighing in (even if it's my scheduled weigh in day) - I wait until I have a morning where I feel 'normal' or 'lighter'.. then I…

You look awesome - that's about where I am now - where you started... doesn't seem to be budging at all!! Care to share some tips, etc?

Good for you!!! Love good stories

I tried that link to the cheat sheet and it says page no longer exists.. anyone have a copy they can send me?

That's such a fantastic feeling!!! I've been where you are - you must be walking on clouds!!! Great job!!

I've used both - and honestly I just stick to the MFP method now because I could probably count on one hand how many times I've actually ate BACK my burned cals... -Again you have to find what works for you... My loss has been slow (banner says 3 lbs but that's just been reset the passed month - I lost 25lbs the last year…

I tried pilates on the weekend.. OMG!! I'm still sore today and I only did them for 15 min!! lol... I tried the blogilates beginners.. I may try them again once I stop hurting lol

I use the 'happy scale' app.. I think it shows the same type of thing.. going to check out the Libra one too though.. I like the look of it..

Thank you lemurcat12 & Myrmilt... I appreciate your input.. hoping to try out pilates this weekend at home.. see how that goes :)

Dark chocolate is ok for you - try to get sugarfree if you can - but if you can't the 'darker' the better... it's my 'go to' if I can't get outside and need a little 'pick me up' as I don't drink coffee.

I work with the gov't and it's all we've been emailed about... very unnerving considering not 6 yrs ago I was working very close to where this all took place in a gov't bldg... hard to believe.... my thoughts to those caught in the kaos!!

Thanks nikkit321 - I'm taking all this info in to get a 'plan' in action.

Great - I'll take a look.. I don't have a fitbit or any HRM.. I know, I know I should get one.. budget just can't handle that at the moment.. besides I really rarely eat back any burned cals... Thanks for responding Cc215

Wonderful information!!! Thank you all for your input.. I'm definitely going to check this out and incorporate it into my workout regime.. is there a 'pilates' option on MFP to track burned cals or do you have to input it under another type of cardio, etc?

Where can I find that? How long a session/x per week do you do this? Is it true it doesn't help with weight loss - just strengthening?

Thanks for the info - I actually don't wear my hair in a ponytale very often - and the breakage is only at my 'bangs' area.. the rest of my hair (sides and back) are in perfect condition... weird I know..

I have Neo TV at home which is streamed - was thinking of checking out pilates on youtube.. any suggestions on there?

Thanks for responding rosestring - I'm going to PM you if that's ok

wow.. nobody can offer any direction on this??

Thanks.. I'm working on taking supplements for that.. :)

Wow.. really that long past huh? I've been healthy eating for over a year now.. you'd think I'd be ok.. guess not.. I'm going to check out what nutrients are good for hair I think. Thanks :)

I'm definitely picking up some of that infusium 23 stuff.. give that a try.. and thanks for the link.. I'm going to check that out too..

Low protein diets can cause hair to weaken or fall out.[/quote] I've been trying to make sure my protein is anywhere from 80-115g a day.[ It's not really falling out - more like 'breaking'.. it gets to a certain length (which is maybe about 1.5 inches) and…

Amazing transformation!!! So happy for you!!!

Hi Suz_ers.. welcome back!! Hate to say this, and don't want to sound rude - but you don't need 'alternate' forms of diets... PLEASE don't waste your money on that.. it may work for a TIME but once you're off all their supplements most ppl gain it all back. Think of this as a LIFECHANGE not a diet because how you train…

Totally amazing!!!! Any tips you found really helped?

Absolutely!! I drink lemon juice and stevia in my water bottles and count that as water intake as well. It's the only way I can get ALOT of water in me lol. FYI a water bottle is 160z which equals 2 GLASSES OF WATER I found out... so each water bottle counts as 2 SERVINGS OF WATER.... If I've been 'misinformed' someone let…

OMG I wouldn't have even thought it was the same person!! You have all the reasons in the world to be SO proud of all your work/dedication to YOU!! You are definitely an inspiration - please thank your daughter to talking you into posting this... she's right - IT IS total inspiration for those of us who have been fighting…

I had a 'vaginal' hysterectomy - all but my ovaries came out.. i was weak at first because it's surgery! lol To be honest - I felt awesome within a few days... and I actually went DANCING 2wks later!! Take things in stride.. do what you can but don't push too hard... your body and 'gutt instinct' will tell you what you…
