Have you tried zigzagging calories?

I avoid the scale in favor of measuring tape. The scale makes me feel defeated. Measuring tape has been an easier method, emotionally. :laugh:

Sounds like it's making you miserable. Maybe you should stop and focus on yourself?

I've been told 6 months out is a good time to get the dress (according to dress ladies at bridal fairs), so I would set your MFP settings to hit that goal 6 months before your wedding and then try to maintain once you get the dress. So, maybe 1 pound a week? And then just track calories and work on doing an exercise you…

I was kind of like that as a teen. Maybe there's a sport she would like or a class she might like. Like kickboxing or archery or maybe even dance. I was always too shy and insecure to try anything, but as an adult, I've loved them! I always wished I would have started valuing fitness earlier. I think since you're the…

Let me lead with all karaoke is bad ;) Some of my friends are shameless karoake all stars.But my favorite one ever has to be B---h by Merideth Brooks performed by a large adult man.

Similar goals and similar experience! I'll add you!

My favorite part is how dedicated/stubborn the both of you were to this to prove your side. Ha ha!

Win! Mine was a combination of fortuitous events. I graduated college, got out of a 4-year relationship and saw horrible pictures of how large I actually was. I had all sort of new free time without the dude or homework, so it was easy to replace them with gym time.

Love this thread. I do so many of these! Biggest one is the year-round jacket to hide my arms and stomach. I even buy winter coats big enough to wear a jacket under so if I take my coat off, I can still hide my love handles under the jacket. :embarassed:

This article supports what I want to believe so I can keep drinking skim milk. But mainly I just like the taste better. 2% feels like cream to me. http://www.answerfitness.com/162/skim-milk-healthy-food-of-the-day/

Aw man. Now going back to how much I spend on Froyo, maybe I need to cut back :)

A lot of the meals at Pei Wei end up being about 550 calories, which isn't too shabby for eating out. I like the Sweet & Sour Chicken or Teriyaki Chicken with brown rice. Also, if you have Paradise Bakery, half of a Turkey Chipotle wrap is only 280. Pair it with soup or a side salad = yummy and not too many calories.

Try to enjoy your time off!

Good post! Motivating!

http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_1/126.shtml This one looks pretty okay. I just googled it. I'm bad at actually stretching.

Yes! This has been driving me crazy! I thought I was the only person who noticed.

I've heard a lot of people say they have to eat more to lose weight. Maybe tune your MFP settings down to lose 1lb or 1/2 lb per week and try to stay on those calorie goals. Hope that helps. Plateaus are a total bummer.

I am a bored eater. I have learned to bargain with myself. For example if I want to eat and it's not a meal time I will make myself drink a whole glass of water first. Or I will chew a stick of gum for 30-60 minutes. And if I'm still really wanting to eat, then I'll go ahead and eat. This might help out a bit? Also, you…

Bump (Had a similar problem last year that I never solved, so interested to see.)

I don't see a problem with it. A lot of people zig zag each day and try to keep an overall weekly goal. I've heard good things about it.

I mis-understood what the topic meant, but I'm still going to stay with my initial response. In Utah. ;) I think my fingers are probably smaller now, though.

Hey, I had this open on a tab I forgot about! Neat.

Ignore the magazine and run.

You'll wear yourself out on cardio and then suck at weights. Weights first!

I'm dealing with them right now, too, sort of. (Calves/shins/feet getting used to this again). Good luck! I think stretching and maybe a new insole might help.

Neither of these are weird, but a little weird together. But delicious! Cheetoes + Hummus. /drool

Dancing?
