I have another question related to boobs and HRMs - I wear a sports bra that contains underwire. Does anyone have experience with HRMs and underwire bras? I'm not even sure I could get the monitor to lay correctly on my chest because of the placement of the underwires. Any feedback is appreciated!

It took me awhile to go down in sizes. I lost a good 30 lbs before it was time to go down a pant size. It was probably 50 lbs before I went down a shirt size. Once I went down one size, it seemed like it was no time before I was down two sizes, then three...you'll get there and then you'll be like me and have piles and…

Studies like this drive me nuts.... There might be a "correlation" between the two but it doesn't sound like there is enough evidence to fully support "causation."

Vikeschick - I tell people to stop asking! My parents are the worst offenders because they like to ask me every time I talk to them, which is almost everyday. I only tell them when I feel like it. When it comes to coworkers and stuff I'm more polite about it and remind them at "slow and steady wins the race"! I have also…

I joined MFP last week and have noticed that I have become more obsessed than ever with weight loss since joining. I have been losing weight on my own since last year and have done it pretty much stress free until jumping on MFP. I just let my body lead the way . I eat when I'm hungry. When I'm hungry I eat until I'm my…

I have had the best luck with organic products that don't contain sulfates that dry out the scalp. I LOVE John Masters Organics Zinc and Sage shampoo. It's for distrressed scalp plus it contains a conditioning agent to help add moisture back into the scalp - and it smells AMAZING. I follow with the moisturizing…

I came off BCPs back in November. My rate of weight loss has been the same as when I was on the pill. I have been assured by multiple doctors that BCPs (especially newer low does versions) do not have any influence on weight - whether it be gain or loss. I have noticed that I do retain more water the week before my period…

Did you weigh yourself at the same time on both days? Also, did you consume a lot of sodium? I notice that when I have a day or two high in sodium I can easily add about 2 lbs to my weight just from the retention.

Congrats on your weight loss!!! It takes awhile for our brains to catch up with us. I have lost 86 lbs and most of the time when I look in the mirror I see the same person I was 86 lbs ago. I'm hoping that one day I will be able to see the changes that everyone else is seeing. Keep up the good work and keep embracing the…

The "belt" is exclusive to the Wii. You have to put the Wii remote inside the pouch on the belt and wear it so the game can track your moves. I had purchased the game and returned it because there were so many mixed reviews. I'm hoping to pick up at "used" copy sometime soon. I keep checking Gamestop but no one has it used…

How much have you tried switching things up? Try eating different foods and doing different exercises. I'm a big fan of interval training - alternating speeds/inclines on the treadmill and doing a variety of strength training exercises. It helps prevent your body from getting "used" to what you are doing and keeps the…

Zumba is a really great and fun workout. It has been a part of my routine since last spring. If you go to a class, a good instructor will keep some of the same songs week after week (so you can get comfortable with the routines) but they will also add in a few new songs so you don't get bored. You'll be sweating it out in…
