I was/am doing the C25k right now and am a newb runner. I had to take about a week off due to a new dog in the house and a slight knee injury, but when I was doing it steadily, I was only doing it every other day or so-Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning. If I pushed it too hard, I'd end up injuring myself or just…

Yup, mine was all over the map for a couple of months. I think i read that it's because you're losing fatty cells and regulating and decreasing the excess estrogen produced from fatty cells; as a result, your menses are all over the map. (I dunno if that's true or not though). It settles out! Although in my case, it wasn't…

Yeah, my husband is absolutely oblivious to it which is hysterically funny to me :D I point it out and he just gives me a vacant look and denies it ha ha! But if any guy even LOOKS my way, he immediately knows, a haha

I do if it's a big clean involving moving full boxes, furniture, scrubbing, tons of sweeping and carrying garbage around. Dishes, laundry and light sweeping, not so much. I think it all depends on your perceptions of exercise though :)

I have a vegan brownie recipe (lactose free for my sister's sake) which are pretty good. 284 calories per 1/16th piece (in a 9X13 baking pan). here's the link: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Vegan-Brownies/ and for the true chocoholics: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-pudding-cake-ii/ This is an awesome recipe and so…

June 6-174.6 June 13-171.4 June 20-172.8 June 27- 169.0 Yay! I did it! I'm also halfway through the C25K program (though today was weird, my legs actually gave out and I had to stop for a few seconds :/). I'll do a final weigh in at the end of the month too, though I don't expect much change in three days, ha ha. Thank you…

When I moved out, I lived in student housing on campus for one year, but I was very fortunate in that my parents helped to pay for it. After that year, I moved in with my then boyfriend (now husband) and we lived with a woman who owned her house (gahhh!), then we moved into her basement suite until I graduated and we…

It's much easier to stay warm (at least where I live) in the winter XD. My father in law lost a ton of weight and then this past winter, he was constantly shivering at work, ha ha! In all seriousness, I think I was just the master of denial. As long as I never saw my reflection, it was easy to kid myself into thinking I…

I have a compulsion to research-my family all know that if they need to know something, ask me to look up! Need to distract me... ask me to look something up :/ I can't help myself! I'm a messy person, but I can memorize the schedules of multiple people all at the same time and organize around it fairly smoothly. For…

June 6-174.6 June 13-171.4 June 20-172.8 June 27- I'm really hoping that's water retention from lifting heavy boxes yesterday and starting the third week of couch to five K., lol!

DO EEEEETT! Heck, do both! This is clearly important to you and you don't have to run it to win it; just running it is fantastic. So I say, GO GIRL GO!

My grandparents DIDN'T have a scale, but I weighed in yesterday. June 6-174.6 June 13-171.4 June 20- June 27- (changed my weigh in dates since I was already weighing in Thursdays, ha ha) I probably already did my dramatic weight drop though, so we'll see how the rest of the month goes XD. Good job everyone so far!

I do that all the time (even before I started losing weight). I'll feel great, see my reflection in something and then feel bad. Move away from the reflection and BAM feel better again! (Denial was a beautiful thing for me, lol!) I'm now slowly getting to the point where I feel good even when I catch my reflection in…

It is related to your search, but also related to things that are related. For example, if you've searched for dog food recipes, you would not only get dog food recipes, but also dog food and dog health. If you've searched for something like 'low calorie pizza' or 'how many calories in pizza' or 'vegan pizza' or anything…

I'm new at this group and I'm in! SW: 200 CW: 174.6 GW: 168 Weigh in dates: 6/2 6/9 (assuming my grandparents have a scale, otherwise it'll be 6/13) 6/16 6/23 End of the Month Planning to walk about 70 odd miles and complete half of the C25K program :) I have a ticker I can post. Good luck everyone!

-no more eczema. This is huge for me because I used to get terrible rashes on my hands and ever since I started, it's stopped even with all of the irritants in the air. Way less acne too -better sleep on less time. I used to need eight hours minimum and I'd be sluggish. Now I can sleep for six hours and feel way better…

I weighed daily when I got started and now that I'm down to my last 10 pounds, I've stopped and I'm weighing on milestones of my walking goals-half way through my walking goal and at the end. This is just because I know mentally that the last 10 pounds are slow to move, but emotionally I hated seeing the scale not budge or…

Definitely fixer and peace maker; everyone comes to me with their problems (or just to rant) and I usually end up trying to patch things up between people. Kinda stressful, but it's nice to be needed. I'm also the one who can be relied upon to cook/bake good food and make appointments on time XD

I dunnoo... since I started, I dropped about one size in pants, from 12-14 (though I was too proud to wear 14, lol) to 10-12, depending on the cut and style. I think it takes me about 6-8 weeks to drop a pants size judging from this. I have hips that won't leave!

I'm going by body fat %; I don't want to be super low on the healthy range, (I'll lose my figure!) but the lower middle would be fine with me. It would also be the lowest I've weighed since university! But really, I'm also just enjoying having already dropped 20+ pounds and having more confidence again. So, my goal weight…

I'm 5'7" SW: 200 My current weight is 176. Goal weight is about 166, though i'll see how i feel and possibly go to 160 or even 155, though I don't really want to lose what figure I have, ha ha. Body shape is pear; baby wasn't easy on my hips! But then, I used to be a banana so I kinda like having curves even if they aren't…

Hurray! Pushed through today (in spite of the rain) and made my goal before the end of the month :)

My son didn't need one HOWEVER, I have no problem with them. If the kiddie is a bolter, none too street savvy or a day dreamer, (or you have a few kids to keep track of) then this seems like a pretty good way to go! Trust me; holding on to a child's hands isn't always foolproof; the little bugs can be sneaky about…

I dunno... if you're doing a lot of sweeping, carrying, moving, lifting, loading, vacuuming, dusting, reaching, garbage runs and shoving furniture around for a few hours, I imagine the calories can add up! But I'm ever the optimist, ha ha

Checking in before the weekend :)

I'm 27 and 5'7" Weekly weight loss: Don't care anymore. i have MFP set to one pound a week, but I'm looking to lose inches and reduce body fat I'm eating net maximum 1600 calories per day, though on average, I'm eating net 1200-1500/day; more on days with lots of activity.

Kinda hitting the same problem so I have to forcibly change my thinking. Have I lost many pounds of late? no, BUT, my clothes fit better, I feel more confident and I can walk farther and faster without tiring myself out. Sometimes you have to kick the scale to the curb and focus on other aspects of weight loss such as…

Fringe, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Corner Gas, Babylon 5 (season 1-4; the 5th had problems), Leverage, Burn Notice, White Collar, Once Upon a Time, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Dollhouse... Admittedly most of these you'd have to get on DVD and/or Netflix, but they're still worth considering

I don't really have cheat days or cheat meals; I just plan for the fact that some days I'll be eating worse than others XD. For example, I know that every Thursday, I'll be going to Wendy's for a grilled chicken burger and fries because my son has therapy that day and we're done by lunch time and he adores the chicken…

Yeah.... no, doesn't sound like a disorder to me! I also do weekly planned meal shopping (have for a while though; it's easier on the budget), I measure what I eat (though I don't have a food scale so I just make sure I always have extra calories left over) and it sounds like you're doing the sensible thing! Haters gonna…
