  • Tighten up your life. In the first few weeks we just lose water weight, which is good, but losing weight is more about losing fat than losing water. Pretend like you have a big event coming up in 6 weeks. Be your own nutritionist. Measure everything. Read packages. Log everything. Challenge yourself to work out a little…

  • Hi Christina! First of all, it's going to take time. Be patient with yourself. Where did the number of 1610 come from? I really had to work to get down to my "ideal" caloric intake number. For me, the solution is lots of water and iced green tea with a little bit of lemon (lots of ice to dilute it). I drink as much water…

  • MFP is a fitness website not a dating website. There are many other websites for that. MyFitnessPal is about fitness and being healthy.

  • Compression pants are good and a terrific fitting sports bra is a MUST (go to a specialty store for big busted women if needed - you'll thank me later!). It takes a little while to get the clothing mechanics right but you live and learn. I nearly lost my yoga pants during PureBarre class. I wore them thinking "so the waist…

  • One day per week I allow myself to eat a reasonable amount over my calorie allotment. One meal per week is also whatever I'd like (if it's burger and fries I will order a small and eat it on the day that we go for a 2 hour hike). For most people the weekly calorie thing is fine. For others, their bodies more slowly…

  • Thank you so much for sharing your pictures! You look amazing. Did you use MyFitnessPal tools? I can't figure out "net calories". Maybe that's why I keep gaining weight and inches instead of losing. It's discouraging. How did you do it? What advice would you share?

  • I was diagnosed with PCOS 13 years ago. I took Metformin (aka Glucophage) about 5 years ago but only briefly. I stopped because I hated the way that it made me feel. At this moment, I am heavier than I have ever been but I will also be 45 in a few months. With age and PCOS (and never having children) I can feel that…

  • I agree. I see a lot of people who have opinions about something they have never tried. I worked with a trainer who also does crossfit himself and had to go through a training program to get his crossfit coaching license. Of course you don't need to have a license to own a crossfit gym just like you don't need to be a…
