EA Sports Active 2 for the PS3. Might not be considered a 'workout video' since it's more of a 'game'. It's like a boot camp workout with increasing levels of workouts. I love it & it's my main exercise besides walking the dog.

Potato chips! And bread!!

Welcome ... again! That sucks your friends and family aren't being supportive. Are they just jealous? Could you get one of them to get on board and talk a walk with you every once in a while? Maybe once they started, they'd like the healthier lifestyle. That's assuming these other friends and family have weight to lose,…

Welcome aboard & good luck on your journey!! I started reading other replied and had to just stop - Please don't think everyone is negative, or judgement about your every word! It looks like you have the right attitude and that's sometimes the most important thing to have! Good luck & you'll be shopping in regular…

I like what the last person said - you have to make the decision that losing weight is more important than gorging on free food. The answer is 'just say no'. Or you can pick 1 thing per day to snack from. You just have to remember where you are on your calories for that day and see if you can squeeze in a cookie or…

I would suggest keeping it in the same spot and weigh yourself at the same time each time you do. For me, it's first thing in the morning, nothing on. As for why your scale is crazy? Who knows! As for getting discouraged - please don't! It is a journey and in the grand scheme of things, when you reach your goal, those 3…

What you are doing all sounds pretty good. But if you are still gaining weight, you just need to make sure you are making a calorie deficit every day or at least a few times a week. Are you exercising? You didn't say anything about that. Since you are on MFP, I'm going to guess you are logging your food, but if not, you…

What to do when someone cooks a meal for you - THANK THEM!

Good luck on your goals! I log in every day!

Same for me - going on vacation soon, hotel for a few days then a cruise. I plan to do just a quick 20-30 minute walk on a treadmill each or every other morning. Just trying to get it in will make me feel like I'm at least doing something. But like other people said, hopefully your vacation can include some activities -…

I'm still confused. What do you eat & what exercises do you do in a given day? Could you share like yesterday with us?
-
I haven't, but it sounds like a great idea!!
-
I think some more research is in store, or at least we might need more information. What is it you are allergic too? Or giving you hives? Could be what you are wearing maybe? I would suggest - would even a slow-ish walk outside work for you? Otherwise if cardio is out of the question, just lower your calorie goals.

Every morning I have a Clif Mojo protein bar - Peanut Butter Pretzel flavor. It's delicious. One bar is 190 calories and fills me up for quite a while. Super easy - grab & go!
-
5'6" 151 right now - wanting to be 145 pounds. Obviously less would be great too but I'll reevaluate around 145. Add me!

I have Clif Mojo bars - Peanut Butter Pretzel. They are fab! 190 calories with good amount of protein.

I really love the EA Sports Active 2 for the PS3. Also, have a Jillian Michael's kettlebell workout that's great.
-
Clif Mojo Peanut Butter Pretzel (protein bar) is my morning breakfast daily!! I literally love the taste and it's so easy to grab and go, but also easy so that I don't have to wonder what I am going to have to breakfast each day.

Welcome & good luck! Vacation really is a great motivator isn't it? Where are you going on vacation in June? I'm going on a cruise in April so I'm trying to lose a few more pounds before then. I'm 5'6, 152 pounds. Want to get to 145 by then!
-
Welcome Chris & good luck! My Fitness Pal is a great resource - Do you use the app on your phone? Just set your guidelines (in your settings I think) on what you want to lose, like 1 pound a week or whatever you are thinking, and log your food and your exercise and try to be under your goal each day! I love it when you…

Open or private diary is in your account settings. I'm not sure about the other thing - maybe there too!

Zumba for the Wii is pretty good. You wear like a fanny pack type belt with the remote in it, so it tracks your movements sort of. I used to go to a Zumba class once a week and that felt like enough for me, but on the weekends I would sometimes do the Wii Zumba too. Zumba is so much fun and a great workout - I need to get…
-
I think you are doing great! Walking is a great exercise! Maybe on the weekends, do something fun like Zumba classes or Yoga or Pilates, just to mix it up. Is there any way to squeeze in 10-15 minutes of something during your work day? I'm sure the last thin you want to do is walk, but maybe some tricep dips in your chair…
-
It sounds like you are on the right track! I wouldn't think you would need to go for a fitting quite yet anyway, but maybe next month or so (?). Just keep plugging away! It's all about having a little deficit at the end of each day, so eating healthy snacks like fruits and veggies, and doing some exercise each day. Good…

You can't let food get in the way of having an enjoyable experience!! Have a healthy meal before going to this party (I guess I don't remember if you said it's a dinner party, like it's actually dinner, or if it's more like a buffet/appetizer situation) - Have a healthy meal beforehand, then you can just snack on a few…
