I recently realized that taking magnesium supplements everyday can really lessen my cramps. Maybe worth a try for some people!

I've been doing dry January (no wine this month and I love wine!) along with counting calories on here and running. After the first 2 weeks or so it got easier. I've lost 8 pounds this month and feel much better. There's an app called dry days and also a Facebook group called dry days community if you would like other's…

I have the fitbit scale and it syncs with mfp.

I started having this years ago when I was in the military and can still have issues with it now if I'm not careful. I have a tight IT band which cause my runner's knee. So I try to stretch that after every run as well as roll the outside of my thigh from my knee to my hip with a foam roller after every run which helps. If…

I'm a vegetarian (lacto/ovo) of 11 years, and when I tried to be vegan years ago I had a hard time getting enough fat. My hair started falling out because of it. Make sure you pay attention to that too.

You can try taking lactaid before you eat dairy and see if that helps.

I like ranch, Hidden Valley ranch. The low fat or off brands just aren't the same.

I joined the online program this month and am logging on here and ww to compare. It's been interesting so far.

I work from home too and it has definitely contributed to my weight gain. I love my job though so I have to get into a better habit of getting on my treadmill at home!

If your calories are being accurately tracked just give it more time! I know it's frustrating, we all want fast results but unfortunately we need to be patient. (Telling this to myself too)

I have the exact same goals as you! Same starting weight and goal weight. Crazy! I'm 5'6", how tall are you?

I have a Bowflex brand treadmill. I've had it for about 10 years now, very good quality. You may want to look into getting a used one. Lots of people buy them and hardly ever use them.

I'm in, no more excuses!

When I cut wine out completely it usually takes a few weeks to start noticing a change in my weight. But I feel better immediately. I'm about to cut it out again to lose some weight so good luck to us!

I have a desk cycle and it definitely gets my heart rate up a little bit. It's better than nothing which is the alternative since I have a desk job and can't move much all day. Even if you just do enough to burn 100 extra calories a day, that's something! It adds up especially if you are doing it in addition to other…

OMG, yes! I'm 39 and I've been gaining so fast the last year. I've gained more than 10 pounds since June, this has never happened to me in my life, it totally sucks and I have yet to get it under control :(

I use a foam roller down the outside of my thighs. It hurts but it does help with the IT band.

Wow, I can't imagine. I'd spend a whole day eating nothing but beans. Glad you are going to the dr!

I quit in 2005 for good. I loved smoking at the time so it was hard for me. The first few days are the worst so once you're through that, keep going! Now I find smoking disgusting and can't believe I used to smoke! You can do it!

I just joined the other day, hope I like them! I joined the VIP club and got 2 pairs of leggings for $24. You can cancel anytime or just skip months.

Yep, I wear it every night, it protects my teeth but my jaw pain still gives me headaches unfortunately.

Day 12 of no wine here! Feeling good, I did wake up with a headache today which is disappointing since I didn't even get to enjoy wine lol. It's probably from my TMJ, maybe all my headaches weren't always from the wine I drank the night before... I've been doing boot camp classes 5-6 days a week, saving hundreds of…

No, I cancelled it. Not much of a difference.

Maybe what I'm really asking is, why after eating breakfast (which I normally don't eat - perhaps I should have mentioned that in the first place?) am I so hungry? [/quote] I know for me, if I skip breakfast I can make it to lunch easily with only coffee but once I start eating it's like fuel to the fire and then I'm…

Day 3-trying to make it a dry January. Started a new workout plan and I am so sore nothing sounds better than a hot bath with some wine! Must resist!

@donimfp You sound just like me. I'm going for a dry January too. I like wine, I'm sure it will be challenging but it needs to happen. Has there been a continuation thread for this started yet for January? I've just been lurking and enjoying everyone's inspiring posts!

I haven't eaten any meat since January 8, 2008. About to have my 10 year vegiversary lol. I know it's not for everyone but it is the best thing for me. I don't think anyone gives me any crap about it. No one really gives me any crap about any of my choices, I must be scary lol.

Put some weights in a bag and carry it around for a while. See how far you've come or how good it will feel to get that weight off.

I recently signed up for WW online just to see the difference. I want to be able to eat my normal, favorite foods in smaller portions and lose some weight. If I do this using WW, sometimes I can use up all my daily points in one meal. If I eat these same foods while counting calories on MFP I am still left with 500 or more…
