  • That was totally me 2 days ago. Now I know why I had the munchies so bad!!! I also know, even if I'm good, my weigh in is affected in some way, usually from retaining water. I think the best thing to do as far as cravings is to acknowledge that they are chemical because of the changes in our bodies. Sometimes just knowing…
  • I am just about in the same boat as you. I have about 115 to reach my goal from here. I started a few years ago and lost 30 but gained about 12 back so I am working on loosing that 12 before I can move on into "virgin" fat so to speak. I have found a huge motivation in this site. I stay connected all day. I check in…
  • Happened to me too when I lost 30 lbs last year. Fortunately I have enough to spare. :) My suggestion, do some pec flies, build the muscle behind the fat and that will push them out. I hear that works. :) Either which way, lbs lost is a great accomplishment, and if you keep going, it will come off in the other areas as…
  • I did it and loved it. At 252 lbs it wasn't easy for sure. Make sure you take measurements cause I gained 2 lbs the first 2 weeks, but also during that time I lost 4 inches. My overall was 8 inches and 6 lbs lost in 30 days (I did it EVERY day regardless of what was going on each day). That's a huge number for someone as…
  • I should also say, at 75 lbs lost, you are inspirational. :)
  • I feel the exact same way you do! I know the goals I have in mind. I know what I WANT to do. It's like in the Bible, Paul says "That which I want to do I do not, that which I do not want to do, I do." I don't know why I do it to myself. I get this attitude that I just don't care. But then the weigh in comes and I am so…
  • Thanks for the advice. :) I did go too frequently, and in my first week I was able to reach the gears and RPMs that the instructor wanted us to, as well as all the standing. I think it was the standing that did it. I am still quite heavy but I was determined, so I worked till I was sick each time. Then on top of that, I…
  • Born in Syracuse NY then moved when I was 8 to Richmond VA. Moved back to Syracuse when I got married but after 2 years I moved back to Richmond where I am now. :) Hubby is from Mansfield, OH.
  • Hi, I'm not new to dieting but new to this site. I am not doing Atkins perse, but I am doing low carb. I try to stay around 80 grams a day. I was thin all my life, 125 lbs at 5'7" when I got married in 2001 but when I got pregnant, I had already reached 170 and by the time I had my second child, I had reached my highest…
