not the first few days but after that yep.

don't give up yet. its only been 2 weeks. if your building muscle during exercise that actually weighs more than fat . also check to see if your eating or exercising the same. If yes change it up just a little. see if that helps.

sorry I eat my calories and then exercise takes it off. I am not going to eat more just to hit my calorie count for the day when I am not hungry. I m also a stress eater and on meds for anxiety. Kills my appetite and makes me lose weight faster. I lost 20 pounds before coming on this site. I actually gained yesterday and…

I have pins and needles and numbness in my hands. It was a symptom of anxiety. So it could be a ton of things. Let him rule out certain things first.

yep. I'm in my 40s with tattoos and piercings. I even had a mom approach me at school while picking up my youngest that I was a horrible mother based on my tattoos. I don't think a heart and butterfly is that shocking. Don't worry I'm not here to pierce your 5 year old.

I have a bulging disk in my back. Right now its not acting up. But I have to be careful with certain exercises.

would love to join. : )

what gym do you go to so I can avoid it. Just one word ewww! I have a woman at mine gets all dolled up-makeup, hair, new workout gear and never see her doing anything other than hitting on all the guys. never once. Go to the bar honey. she just annoys me. and that overly steroided guy that has arms and legs like tree…

I'm ok with it as long as I don't have to hear about it. But if he goes into the VIP rooms. He's a deadman.

don't like super hairy guys. But shaving is a pain in the you know where to keep it up. But it's your choice. I know swimmers that shave too.

omg. You guys are the best. Little down today and this whole post has me cracking up. ps. hope there's cake left. : )

you look great. Congrats. Keep up the hard work.

wow you look great. Congrats.

I have a fitbit zip. It isn't even synced to the website. I use it mainly to count how many steps I take during the day. Thats why I got the cheaper one.

don't let it get you down. Focus on you and let the negativity slide. She'll see the results soon enough. My co workers including several guys have commented on my weight loss. Husband-has not. Until yesterday when he gave me a hug and said you can feel how much weight you lost. : ) I know my banner only says 6 but I lost…

you do need a certain amount of daily fat for your body to function correctly. And some vitamins are fat soluble so for your body to absorb them they need fat. I have found mixing a fat free dressing with a full fat cuts down on how much fat I'm eating without losing the flavor. As for the salsa eaters? Have you tried it…

to me big boned is just a nice way to say I'm fat. I do have a larger bone structure. Very broad shoulders. No matter how much weight I lose I'll always have them, Some of us have larger bone frames then others. We will never have that size 0 super model body frame that Hollywood pushes down our throats. Which is fine by…

I tried restricting what I ate before and failed. I have cut out almost all soda. And really don't miss it. So now if my family has pizza I do too. One small slice and then a huge salad. At a BBQ. Yep I will have a small helping of potato salad and a hot dog then fill up on fruit. Why not? One step in weight loss is…

I'm 5'3. When I started I was 230. I am under 200 now and started the site at 200. I would like to be in the 140-150 range. I have some muscle tone so I don't want to be lower than 130.

i walk everyday. usually 6-9 hours at work. And then some at home. I do rest days when I do weights and thats every other day.

i agree with Dixielawgirl. I'd do a snack of fiber and protein.

I'd go by how your clothes are fitting rather than actually numbers. Weight fluctuates. Muscles, water weight, didn't weight your self at the same time. Through out the day it even changes. I showed a 2.8 pound difference last night before bed than this morning.

I'd hit a buffet and eat all my favorites until I popped. Then follow it up with a lemon torte from the cheesecake factory. : )

first of all you don't need to "start over" at anything. You had a hiccup. a weak moment. You are human. it happens. You just need to get back on track. I have stopped eating fast food. the other day my kids and I were out at lunch time and I had a cheeseburger and some fries that I shared with my youngest. I felt…

I'm not a big breakfast fan. But I eat a bowl of either oatmeal or healthy cereal. Then take some fruit I can eat at work. I work weird hours and lunch is never a set time. Which makes it hard to stay on track sometimes.

it's hard but I tell myself I have the perfect body.. But its excess in some areas and lacking in others. lol. Just remember we all are our own worst critics. He likes you or he wouldn't be with you. Don't let these searches undermine your relationship. After all we all have our secret or maybe not so secret celebrity…

I'm building one too.

don't give up. I too was a former member that just stopped all efforts and I am back. No longer on focusing on size or numbers but looking just to get healthier and happy with me. Recently I have given up soda and fast food. Lost 20 pounds so far. Yeah. Get into the mind set that this can be done. You can do it. Michaelle
