I am considered "thin" I guess...and yes, I hold a lot of belly fat. I have had a baby (5 years ago) but this has always been the case for me.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: 28! But thank you:smile:

Ha, sorry

Meredith.....25?

Are you in gatlinburg?

Actual job: HR Assistant Dream Job: Now-SAHM for my son after he starts school this fall: personal trainer I am so sad I have missed the 5 years where I could have stayed home with my son every day before he started school:-( I literally cry about this once a week and cry almost once a day from missing him so much. I'm not…

Try a leg press! Also, get into the lunge position and try to hold it with your arms out for 10 seconds each time. You can "pulse" in that position and it will help with strength until you get your balance down....I had to do that before I could do single leg deadlifts with a kettlebell and it helped me focus on my balance.

When I used it, I put my phone in an armband on my upper arm so I got paid for my strength training. As long as I was moving, i could track the time in runkeeper under Other exercise and it worked.

Just to be clear...you're eating 800 calories per day on average? If so, why so little?

Thanks:)

Eat some fruits and veggies and add some lean meats in there and yeah, you got it.

Great goal setting and congratulations on the weight loss! You're doing great!

The first time I made fried porkchops, mashed red potatoes, corn, and bread for my husband but ate a baked chop and sweet potatoe myself.

Under this act, employers will have to make your insurance actually affordable (I did the math on mine and my employer will have to drastically change our premiums) or we will be able to go through the exchange (Federal here in Tennessee) to get affordable healthcare and our employers will face HUGE fines if that happens.…

all alcohol

I am also prescribed Trazadone for sleep....only side effect I have had is dry sinuses sometimes. I just take it on those days when I feel like I won't be able to settle my mind.

I have learned to love working out alone! I tried several times to work out with my best girlfriend but she doesn't seem to go her hardest when we work out together and we don't get much accomplished! Not to down on her though because I know in a larger group session with an actual trainer, she kills it! What really…

1. Eat as much un-processed food as possible, make sure you're not hungry but aren't stuffed to the brim. 2. Drink A LOT of water. 3. Lift as heavy as you can, as often as you can. 4. Do some interval training instead of steady-state cardio. Sprint, then walk, sprint, then walk....unless you just love stead-state cardio,…

Hell, where 'em anyway! Just not for school pick-ups or PTA or what have you.

have your therapist contact your RA and see if there is an empty dorm room or any other room that can be locked from the inside that you can use for specified periods of time...then you can go in, lock the door, and get your fitness on!

Winner winner, chicken dinner! You go girl!

I live in an impoverished area in the foothills of East Tennessee. There are folks selling produce every mile down the road and a farmers market in every community. That's the way a lot of people make $. There are 5 walmarts within 20 miles of my house and two amish stores on the way home. The amish stores carry bulk items…

Because I work in HR and I don't like being a hyprocrite....and $$$$$$$, I'd rather buy my son clothes, toys, good food, and take him on trips. Amazing how much easier it is to make ends meet.

have him track his measurements each day....that'll teach him. I'm jokin folks so don't start in on me.

Unless you have an extreme (100 lbs or more) to lose...I don't recommend! I took phentermine after I gave birth because I had gained 50 lbs during my pregnancy and had no motivation and was exhausted. I lost the first 30 with that and a healthy diet and exercise, but looking back, I think I would have been able to do it…

Squats. Eat enough to build muscle.

I have a full bottom lip....my friend Daniela has perfect lips much like the ones posted towards the beginning with the tooth gap. She has the gap too and ALL I can say is SEXY. JEALOUS.

Could be water retention in your sore muscles, could be muscle added, could be you eat too much because you feel ravenous from running.....just keep swimming...errr....running:-)

This is my favorite success story I've ever encountered on MFP.....tears are flowing for you! Happy ones!
