Yoga!

Other than TurboJam, which is mostly cardio, are you doing any strength training?

:happy: Hi! I am a former WW too! I lost 90lbs on WW and decided to try MFP. Honestly I can't say which one is better just yet ,mostly because I was ten years younger when I lost the weight. Now that I am 38, its just plain harder and I have been doing this *diet* thing for so long that my body is just plain done! I put on…

I am a party girl and LOVE me a good shot of vodka! I either take a shot with a sugar free juice or just good old plain water chaser. Nothing with sugar...lite beer is also a good choice.

Hi! Maybe when you do lose the weight, reward yourself! Create small goals and when you achieve them go buy a new top or jeans or something like that! The new *smaller* size will feel sooooo good and make you want to keep going :happy:

I'm not a nutritionist either but I lost 90lbs eating whatever I wanted while on Weight Watcher's. Just stick to your calories, exercise, and drink lots of water! You will lose weight!

YES! and DELICIOUS!!! Love them :love:

Everything she said and WHOLE grain breads and cereals. When reading labels, look for high fiber, that is higher than the fat..also lots of fruits and veggies. Apples and oranges have lots of fiber...broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts...I don't agrre with supplements too much because you can get it from good whole…

I believe so. It's like "zig zagging" your calories. I've heard that is very effective.

Emrogers...I am sooooo completely in your boat!!! I wasn't losing on 1200 so I upped mine to 1330...I finally lost 1lb...that's it! So after reading your comment I am thinking I just might need to go a little higher...The right calorie amount thing is soooo frustrating. Especially when you see everyone esle losing steadily…

The part about them not seeing you naked...Love it, I relate! I too hide things pretty well...if they only knew what losing 90lbs looks like under the cute clothes! Whew!

I get the same thing. Sometimes it comes across as a compliment and other times it comes across kind of mean. Just smile and say, "thank you."

I am wanting to do the same thing!!

Can you tell us exactly how you did that? Did you drink strictly juice for two days? What kind? How much etc.? Thanks!

I believe circuit training can mean a variety of different types of exercises like muscle and cardio. Whereas strength training is just muscles...

Hello! Welcome and feel free to add me:happy:

I think you are right! Can be frustrating..

Hello! You are losing fat and turning it into muscle! That's why you have smaller measurements. The 4 pound loss is very good! Congrats! Whatever you are doing is working :happy:

Hello! Welcome! Add me if you'd like! I have made so many "friends" on here :happy:

Hi! Welcome to MFP!!! Feel free to add me! I have lost 90lbs doing Weight Watchers and put on 13 so I am trying to get it back off...MFP is a fabulous place for support no matter what your size or how much you need to lose :happy:

Do it!!! I did and would do it all over again! I went to The Cole Eye Institute at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation...The Best place to go for Lasik if you ever go to Cleveland lol!

Hello! I can see you don't have much weight to lose and that your body may not want to give it up so easily. I have only 13lbs to lose and my body doesn't want to let it go! It can be very frustrating because we work so hard for what seems to be nothing. I was told by a trainer that although my cardio workouts are good, I…

You are still burning calories so look them up under circuit training in the database. I did P90x for 30 (just legs) today and it was over 200 calories burned! Strength training is a huge fat burner! Keep it up :happy:

:smile: Hello! welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me

Hi! Welcome! Feel free to add me :happy:

sodium is EVIL! It wreaks havoc on me big time! Water is your bff to combat it. DRINK LOTS!

I see a huge difference! This is only 5 days in?? I am going to have to get this workout! Good job :happy:

Less cardio, more strength training! I am in the same boat as you. I am 5'4 and need to lose 13lbs. I have been on MFP for weeks and weeks and nothing has really come off. I do cardio kickboxing 3 days a week and each time I burn over 500 calories. I recently talked to a trainer and he told me, its the classic case of lean…

Thank you for that info! I have been struggling with attaining the right amount of calories. I do cardio kickboxing 3 days a week which burns more than 500 cals each time but I am not doing much strength training. I don't have much weight to lose so my body is just hanging onto it. I had a trainer tell me to do pregressive…

Sore muscles feel worse when not used. The walking will help them feel better. Ibuprofen will help too! Don't stretch unless you warm up first, you can hurt yourself.
