I am in the same boat and I'm especially struggling today. I had a bit of a meltdown at work today and I can't seem to shake it. I was driving for 6 out of 8 hours I was working so my step goal isn't even close to being met and now it's 9:40pm and I am slowly working up the motivation to get off my *kitten* and walk on the…

My hubby and I are starting to talk more about TTC. I am terrified that we won't be able to naturally (no real reason for why it's just always been a fear of mine) and I just started to get much more serious about my weight loss efforts. I am currently about 230lbs but I haven't weighed myself in a while because I don't…

Hi Nicole!

I too am trying to get back on the wagon :) I'm excited to start back up. In April of 2012, I was doing awesome but then I fell off the wagon after I got engaged. I have recently started being motivated again after realizing that I feel like a stuffed sausage in my jeans. I am at my highest weight ever and ready to turn…

Could you reset your timezone some how to more accurately fit your schedule?

It's a great store! It's the only place I can try on jeans and not want to cry in the fitting rooms!

I'm 5'8" and pear shaped as well and I HATE pants shopping. The only place that I have found for jeans is Vanity. I'm not sure where they have stores but these: http://www.evanity.com/index.php/jeans/boycut-fit.html fit me best and I've also worn these: http://www.evanity.com/index.php/jeans/regular-fit.html Good Luck!

I've always used the circuit training option, usually I just put in for 20 minutes and don't count the warm up or cool down.
-
Added mine! WOO! Let's do this!
-
I'm in!!! I started earlier in April but then I got sick and I never really got back into it. I did one day of Level 2 after being off for a few days and I was like Oh Helllllllllll No. I need some people to kick my butt back into it too! Please invite me to the group :)
-
Gee thanks mom for the cellulite! I got my pear shape from her too...GRR! Haha I think what's going to work best for me is just changing my diet and working on my hammies/quads to tone them up. I hate those yucky fat dimples when I cross my legs.

Oh my lanta if I gave up pizza I would be a very cranky girl. I work at pizza hut 4-5 days a week and I don't think I could do it! Most times I get a personal sized pizza with thin crust, no cheese, italian sausage and loooooots of sauce. I didn't think I would like it at first but it is absolutely heavenly! Otherwise,…

Did you drink enough water? I know that if I don't drink enough water I get all out of sorts and my body gets angry with me. Make sure to listen to your body and if 20 minutes was too much, then slow it down a bit. Everyone has to start somewhere, nobody ever just jumped on the treadmill and ran for an hour on their first…

I'm in the same boat. I haven't been feeling so great so I stopped doing it for a few days and then tried to start back on level 2 for the first time....YIKES! It was hard. Level 1 was hard but manageable, Level 2 was just plain rough after not feeling well. I think starting tomorrow I'll do a few days of level 1 to get…

*drools* looks delicious! Thanks for the recipe :) I love bite sized things like this, it makes portion control much easier. :smile:
-
I can't wait to get rid of my yucky huge thighs (damn pear shape) and my love handles.

Skinny Cow Cookies & Cream ice cream sandwich! Yummmm.

I kinda had a blah week this past week. I wasn't feeling well and I had some celebrating to do (I finished my 480 hour internship) but I still tried to stay as close to cals as possible. Today was the first time I really exercised in probably 5 days, and I had to do something quite different than what I was before because…

I LOVE my sense of humor :laugh: Sometimes it really helps me get through my workouts. One video I found has a "scrub your bootie" move and I just laugh and laugh. I love it! I also LOVE the fact that I've been at this for 4 weeks now. Normally I give up really easily but I'm already down 14 lbs! I can't wait to see how…
-
I'm in the same boat! I am 100% pear, I just measured my hips yesterday and they're 48"! My natural waist is 34" if I remember right. My boyfriend swears he likes my thighs but I think they're just yucky and jiggly. I hope I can start swimming again this summer to get them tamed down a little bit. I swam in high school and…

When I do something homemade, I try my best to put in each ingredient individually (I leave out spices because that can get time consuming) and then figure out from there how many calories I had. For example: 1 lb ground beef, 1 can kidney beans, etc. and just estimate serving size or put in your own recipe and…
-
I really think it depends on how you set your activity level or how much you do those things. For example: if you carry your child around the zoo that day for 2 1/2 hours I think that would be something "log worthy," especially if your lifestyle is set at sedentary on MFP. Or, if you lug 10 loads of laundry up and down 3…

I have a few that I would like to share... I have logged for 15 days now!! That is a record for me, usually I get discouraged after less than a week and give up. When I sit down I can see my belly button instead of it being covered in a yucky fat roll. My jeans are fitting looser even after just being washed!!!!!! And my…

I am an intern with a probation office and I wish I was on my feet more! Granted if there is a day full of home visits or something I will be walking around more but otherwise I'm up to my eyeballs in paperwork at my desk :( I do get up and walk around instead of emailing or calling though and the jail is right next door…

For a sweet snack I really like the Quaker sweet rice cakes 90 calorie packs. They're nice and crunchy and have frosting even! The portion size is just right for a snack and if you take the time to eat one at a time instead of a handful at a time they fill you right up.
