Hey, how's this challenge going? I'm thinking of doing the same thing and struggle with the same sweets as you. I can be perfect on my diet all week long and then eat an entire bag of Dove chocolates in one sitting. I really need to figure out why I do that and STOP it!! I'm not depressed, I exercise everyday, I get in a…

I use DailyBurn and love it. I think it's worth the cost mostly because it's much less than going to the gym, plus I can play it on my phone anywhere so I use it at the park a lot. However, there's not a huge selection and it can be difficult to choose workouts b/c it wants to assign a 'program' to you which doesn't suit…

Avoid sports bras with the hook and loop fasteners. I prefer the ones that zip in front. Body glide is an excellent suggestion. Also, check to make sure the bras you are using are for "high-impact" support. Most common sports bras are only medium/light support. If you found the right 'high-impact' bra you shouldn't need to…

I don't think anyone else has suggested it, but I enjoy listening to sermons while I run. Check with your local churches to see if they have an app. Sometimes I also listen to talk radio. Music becomes annoying to me after awhile and having the ability to focus on a stimulating topic distracts me. Also, to switch things up…

Hello, I'm back on MFP and trying to get my holiday weight off, along with FINALLY getting to my goal weight this year. My food log is public, and I enjoy getting ideas from others' logs. I'm a single working mother of a 3 year girl, so easy, convenient food is a priority. I also exercise daily and hopefully my muscle tone…

Wow you look great! I've lost about 20 lbs and I'm only 20 more to go to my goal. I'm hoping to achieve it in time for bathing suit season this summer!

How are your eating habits? Sometimes the best motivation for a child is to see the example set by their parents. I wouldn't worry too much about his actual weight, other than what is recommended by his doctor. However, I think as long as you're making 'healthy eating' a life-long habit change and not a 'diet' is the best…

Please add me! I still have 20 lbs to go and need fresh ideas.

You might want to check out Body by Vi (Vi-Shape) nutritional shakes. Not cheap, but its tasty with low sugar (<1g), 12g protein, 5g fiber and all your vitamins. You say you're just doing light exercise, which is fine, but just know that any results you're looking for will HAVE to come from what you're eating. You're…

I work with a PT and have lost fat weight while gaining muscle. I was 170 lbs, now about 160. I used a calorie-deficit of about a 1 lb per week and have lost inches and gained muscle weight. The trick is regular circuit/strength training and consuming more protein than carbs. I aim for about 140 g of protein per day.…

Are your clothes fitting differently? I've been training for a triathlon and got a personal trainer. In four months I haven't lost a pound but all my measurements have steadily gone down, meaning I've gained muscle. Talk to a trainer a Planet Fitness and have them take your measurements once a month. Stick to the food…

Thanks! I have that book and started reading it a couple months ago but haven't finished it yet. Sometimes I actually don't want to read these things because it makes me feel accountable. I guess that's the whole point though so I better get reading!

I have never done a fast but its something I would like to learn more about. How does fasting effect your weight loss goals - doesn't it put your body into 'starvation' mode?

Hey you can add me - I'm nondenominational/Baptist Christian and I just turned 30!
