great point! I absolutely did not mean for people who are underweight. We all know that we should be within a healthy weight range for health reasons, but most of us have another kicker, wether it be a wedding dress or starting a family. Mine is because my knees and ankles hurt so bad because I'm overweight. I don't need…

thank you!! :)

I measure my neck, waist, butt because that's how you determine body fat % but I also measure my gut and chest for comparison. I can't wait to not have a gut haha!

My least favorite people are the ones bashing people for why they want to lose weight. Who cares why? Maybe I want to be a super model, maybe I want to be a stick for halloween. who frickin cares?! just want to talk about losing weight not why you reason is so much better than mine haha

my only problem with clothes is I don't have any clothes that fit perfect now, and lycra stretches clothes out, cotton shrinks, and things get messed up anyway. That's why I'm thinking marking my belt may help. So far what I have from this is, Weekly weigh in, after I wake up, pee and am naked, pre-shower. preferably…

I have a simple belt that you wear around your waistline it's stretchy as crap too so you hardly notice it. it's pretty handy :)

I used to run 5 miles everynight. I chose my routes on distance of sidewalk from street/ and that it was well lit. The only spots where it was dark was in my my neighborhood where it was very safe at the time, and a fairly small stretch in the middle if my run. Which just pushed me to run harder at the spot! and if you get…

great ideas! I kind of try to do that but I need to more. I picked wednesdays because it's the middle of the week so I can't blame it on dehydration from weekend activities (I don't drink that much but when I do it's usually when I am exploring and walking a lot haha) first thing in the am, in the same clothes. or before a…

You should really try taping!! Body fat is so much more accurate than BMI! My goal is based on body fat, and scale is just kind of it's buddy to keep me entertained, Scott I've heard a lot of people doing the weigh in daily but I tried it and what ended up happening with me was I'd fluctuate 1-2 a day. So I would workout…

I totally agree, I've seen people start running more than usual or even start working out during a pregnancy because they don't want to gain any weight or want their pregnancy to look a certain way!! I don't know THAT much about being pregnant because I am not even close to trying, but I know it is okay to go jogging and…

Because most women don't put themselves first. I personally put my dogs first, my boyfriend, my family and then myself. Because if it was just me and I died who cares. if it was just me and I was healthy and lived to be 100, it would be a super lonely 100 years. I have a new found purpose in life and I want to have kids…

Has anyone ever tried going by Body fat percent instead of BMI? when I was in the best shape of my life my BMI told me I was obese but my bodyfat said I was healthy. it's very easy to do, and I trust it more than the scale and BMI.

if you are starving all the time you will get weaker and your body will start taking some protiens from your muscle. (even if you have plenty of fat stores like me!!) So if a the pb and almond milk worked for you than stay with that!!! that's an extra 150 and lots of protien your body needs to rebuild :) For me it was a…

You all are so wonderful!! Quitting is definitely hard. My next step is the gym. OOF
-
No annual but the start up is $89 =\. Luckily they said they can split it into 2 months for me since I just moved to a new area and just started a new job, (no paycheck for 2 months oof!) I'm checking it out on monday and gonna start the 7 day trial, hopefully it goes well!! thanks everyone
-
Thank you all!! I added everyone who posted you guys are the best!!
-
Thank you all!! I will definitely have to go check it out in person! It sounds like any other chain it's good or it's bad! I got spoiled at my last gym. Large private gym 24/7 with only a $17 a month fee. the annual fee was small as well. I guess it's worth checking out, it's right around the block which takes away half of…
-
They did that to me as well, that's why I posted this. I'd like to get real reviews before I go in and have to talk to people trying to sell me stuff. (I have social issues haha)
-
thanks!! ya quitting is definitely really hard! I was super dumb and did it the first day of PMS. I was such a wreck I ate soooo much ice cream and started crying because of the adorable puppies on Too Cute! I couldn't handle it. Then started crying because my boyfriend wasn't watching hahahahahah
-
I had a friend who worked in an office, he put a balance ball in replacement of his chair (at first it's kind of hard, but before you know it you do it without realizing it, and it helps you tighten your legs and core without even trying!) maybe you could try it? even if it's only for a small part of the day!

Hi! My name is Allison and I need some support buddies too! My boyfriend is helping me out, (but you know how boys are they lose it after pooping once) I'm just starting again too, I'm a constant yo-yoer. Last year I lost about 20 and gained 40 back (yay me!) I'm breaking mine down into 2 parts. it's 16 weeks until the end…

The problem is sometimes if you aren't giving it enough fuel it will start taking calories from the wrong spots (muscle). Weights been a life long issue with me. I was 202 pounds, I'm 5'9". I had a 'doctor' put me on a 1,000 calorie a day diet, no carbs. I was working out twice a day (cardio in the am, weightlifting in the…
-
All I know from experience is I start eating the bare minimum of calories, and burn as much as I can, after 3 days of doing such I feel weaker, more tired and I don't lose any weight (sometimes start gaining). My trainer at the time found out YELLED AT ME. and made me eat a fatty meal to sort of kick-start my system. Once…

I can definitly relate! 25 and I have 75+ to lose! I'm just starting over now so maybe we can do this together!
