Thanks for the input!!! I'm looking those suggested up!!

If anyone drops out, let me know as I would love to join but if not I will get you next time!

GOOD day for me to have a cheat day also!!!

I weighed 164 in October and now I battle between 161 - 162.5 I'm going to up my calories and try to get it shocked back into gear! I do a lot of cardio and weighs atleast 2 days per week. Also thinking I should add another weight day. I logged 90% so if you look at my diary it isn't accurate some days! That is my 2nd goal…

We are the vacation spot!

Great post! I totally fell off the wagon yesterday and reading these tips are helping me so much! I have 10 pounds until i go to maintenance and I'm struggling so much!!! Today is a new day and we WILL succeed! Good luck to all!!

Great inspiration ladies!!! I'm in pre/menopause and have been having issues. I'm staying with it and trying to regular my calories and carbs

Thanks for your tips and I hope you are on your way to a full recovery!! best of wishes!

Would love to agree but I can't because my logging isn't accurate. I do try but somedays just get the best of me and the small things dont get put in - LOl... I will try to readjust and watch for that

Great response! I also use a HRM because our machines are about 40% off. I sometimes eat my calores but I get 1200 per day and try to defiantely eat the 1200!

I too was SO shocked! Actually depressed to find out I wasn't burning that many calories!! Our machines are approx 40% higher compared to my HRM!

I could surely use the motivation!!! Let's do this!! I'm in!

Great information - Thanks!!!!

ABSOLTELY AWESOME!! Chocolate Chip cookie dough - YUMMMMM. I purchase from Amazon or directly from Quest. Buy a variety pack and find your favorite.

I also have a desk job. I try to get up and move every hour. Go to the bathroom and do push ups against the wall, stand and do high knees, toe touches...anything that will get me WOKE UP and moving helps. Can practice kegels and holding your stomach in for so many seconds. Also squeezing your glutes together really helps..…

Whay are they stil in my house - It's called having teenagers and a husband! I try to learn self control. I don't deprive myself of anything. I'm doing portion control. A lot of you had some good ideas. I'm not binging nor lacking salt. Just looking for an alternative to get away from them. I hadn't ate any chips forever…

Great information - Thanks!

I'm kind of new to the forums and not sure but what is the Focus T25 program? I'm very interested in joining because challenges really help me be accountable.

I'm from yet a smaller town in Indiana I bet! BROOKVILLE Nice to see other Hoosiers on MFP!

AWESOME!!! Loved reading your story and the tips are WONDERFUL!!!!! Keep it up!!! You look AMAZING!

Have faith in yourself! You CAN do it!!! I was drinking anywhere from 2 upto 6 cans of diet Coke per day. Even after having a kidney stone I went back to drinking it. And let me tell ya, that was NO FUN! Once you set your mind to do it, it will go smoothly! I just drank tons and tons of water for the first couple days.…

Try going to the polar website and watch their video for the setup of your style of watch. If nothing else, they have a forum on their website that I'm sure you can find help. Best of wishes!

Seriously STOP STALKING ME - just kidding but I did just leave the gym!! I do use my Kindle why on the elliptical and sometimes treadmill BUT if I'm doing weights or any other machine no. At least they are making an effort! I know one guy who used to bring his tablet and watch a video that helped him to work out.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one trying to figure all these things out!!

I've been esearching the same thing!! Everyone says HRM but I was so disappointed when I found out the variation in the machines -vs- the hrm! But I'm not giving up! Everyone different and you have to give it time to find the YOU. Best choice is a HRM!

I do a weekly Circuit Training Class at the gym I belong to. The way we do it is - he has 10 different stations. We do each station for one minute and switch - resting no more than 15 secs inbetween. after first round you get a 2 min break and then repeat. we do this 3 times...takes about an hour depending on how many…

I was an avid Pepsi drinker and I'm talking sometimes 6 cans a day! I finally switched to Diet Coke and honestly over a year, my weight really didn't change. I think it depends on the person. I personally found myself craving sweets a lot more and a lot of bloating. It has been alomost 6 weeks and I'm no longer drinking…

Thanks Bawalker11!!!!
