Mine did the same thing and I've done all of the above and it still doesn't work. I've given up on it to be honest.

My husband and I are currently doing a 30 day challenge. We're two weeks in and I've lost 5.6 pounds and 1.7% body fat. The first week was very difficult, but you eventually find what works for you. I personally don't think that it's a "fad" diet. I see it as an extremely healthy way to eat, but I know that it's going to…

Yes. I change in the bathroom or the one changing room they have. Mainly because I don't want anyone to see, but also because other members sometimes bring their older children in there and I don't want to scar some poor boy for life. =P

We toss them. If you work out of the home, take them there - maybe leave them in the break room? There's always random left over food it ours and people will eat it, lol.

Sounds like you could start your own boot camp. Where do I sign up?

I would be interested as well! I live near Braun and 1604.

I don't see another Sabrina yet! Where are you?

Me too!

"I could care less." Then apparently, you must care. Or do you mean you COULDN'T care less?

Bump

Me too! lol

I like shopping on Amazon because I have Amazon Prime membership and get free 2 day shipping. This scale has a 5 star rating with over 3,600 reviews and comes in different colors. I love it. You can put a plate on it, zero it out and then weigh the food alone. You can also change between ounces and grams. I'm sure other…

Hold me accountable ladies! SW: 261 CW: 217.8 GW: 212 Weigh in Dates: 8/1 217.8 8/8 8/15 8/22 8/31

I'm sorry you're going through this, but I'm glad I'm not the only one! I lost almost 80 pounds before I got pregnant, and like you I stopped working out and didn't have the best eating habits. Towards the end of my pregnancy I was horrified to see the scale so close to what it was before I started my weight loss. Granted,…

When I was hitting the gym before work (and I have to be at work by 7am) I had a bag with everything I needed to get ready (body wash, deodorant, etc.) and then just added the next day's clothes. One thing I do recommend though is getting a pair of flip flops for the shower. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I really didn't…

I agree with this. Some guys play on a girl's lack of self confidence so the the girl will desperately seeks the guy's approval. You are very beautiful and have a great figure! Like someone else said, I would love to look like you do already! I can't even understand that comment. If he's not "attracted" to you then why is…

I do agree that it can be a very fine line from trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle and becoming obsessed with it to where it negatively affects other parts of your life. I myself recently took about a 1 month break from MFP recently as I found myself becoming too focused on every calorie and comparing myself with my…

That's wonderful! I had my son in January and am currently working off the baby weight I'd gained (which like another poster is a lot more than 13 pounds, lol!)

Wow! That's so incredible. Thank you so much for posting this!

Pippin and Merri, the two hobbits from Lord of the Rings. :) Pippin is an orange tabby. Merri was a grey tabby who is unfortunately now in kitty heaven. Not sure if I will do matching names again, since now Pippin is missing his other half.

I'm going to a Zumba class! One of the best hours of my week. I like the 30 Day Shred DVD.

I have to agree with this. I've been trying this approach more and it's been helping. I take care of my nephew a lot and I'll usually eat what's left of his when he's done. I did this and gently reminded myself that I'm not the"clean up crew" and just because he doesn't eat it doesn't mean I have to. I also did this -…

I'm 5'4" as well. Started at 261 lbs and was a size 22/24. Currently 197 lbs and in a size 12 womens or 15 juniors. My goal is a size 8. Not sure what I'll weigh when I get there, but no one ever believes I'm close to 200 pounds.

I see a trainer twice a week and he always changes up the work outs. I too change what I'm going on the days I'm not with him. Some days I do a spin class or Zumba class, others I will use the treadmill, Arc Trainer, or stationary bike. I usually don't do the same thing every time. I also change the days I have a rest day.…

I have a REALLY bad sweet tooth in the afternoon and of course my boss has a big bowl of chocolates on her desk for everyone to help themselves. I recently found some freeze dried fruit at Costco that have no added sugar, just fruit. With all of the water out of them they're sweet enough to keep me out of the chocolates…

When I was in middle school some jock told me I'd be really "hot" if I lost some weight. More recently, I was showing some co-worker friends my "before" picture and one guy I hadn't known for very long told a long time friend, "I bet you think you can't believe you were friends with THAT?" It stung for a bit knowing how…

Wow! What a difference! You look fantastic. :smile:

Congratulations! I hope you have a wonderful trip!

I agree with what everyone else is saying. I was surprised with my HRM results but it calculates your age, height, etc. with your heart rate so it's more accurate than the general information here. Not everyone burns the same amount of calories doing the same activity. And 600ish for Zumba sounds about right according to…

Sounds amazing! I WILL be trying this soon!
