  • I agree that this approach would allow for weight to fall off quickly, but I think it's important to find a diet that one can stick to. From personal experience, following a strict diet always leads to disaster because it's not something that you can easily stick with and then you fall back into bad habits. I believe it's…

  • We have a steep hiking trail in our area. It's only three miles one way, but it's super difficult (even for experienced hikers). My husband and I have only made it 2 miles up. This summer, I wan to conquer that mountain and see the city from the very top. Physically, I want to be at a weight that I was at BEFORE children.…
    in What's your REAL Goals and Reward Comment by ameaston22 March 2011
  • Hey Elizabeth! I am fairy new to this too. I've had three children and I am hoping to whip my body back into a shape that resembles (even slightly) what it used to be. I really like that you're setting goals. Losing 1 lb a week is awesome and should be attainable. I've been working out and dedicated to my routine for about…

  • I've been heavily working out for the past three weeks and I've lost eight pounds. I really believe that the key to my success has been not freaking out about every single calorie that I put in my mouth. In the past, I've been so strict about everything. If I slipped up even once then I would call it a "cheat day" and…
    in Why am I NOT dropping any pounds??? Comment by ameaston22 March 2011
  • I don't make it a point to eat my exercise calories, BUT I know that when I exercise that I can eat a little more than the base 1200 calories and that it's probably better to eat additional snacks when you have or are going to work out. I used to try and deprive myself and stick to a firm calorie count and MFP's way of…
    in To eat, or not to eat? That is the question! Comment by ameaston22 March 2011
  • I have always been against diet soda because of the artificial sweeteners. However, all of my skinny friends seem to always have one on hand and they all seemed okay so I went with peer pressure and bought two cases (Dr. Pepper and Sunkist). It wasn't hard to make the switch and I found myself addicted. I noticed that when…
