Thank you

So let me tell you from a wife's perspective. My husband and I have been together 12 years. Before I had my son, I was skinny fat, unhealthy but skinny. I still thought I was fat and all in all, I was just normal. My husband would joke and say I needed to put on a little weight because he could see my hip bones. Flash…

Ok, I ate lunch at 12 and drink a big cup of water and had some coffee. Waited until 2:30 to run and got about 45 mins in mostly running, some walking but the running I did on the treadmill at a 5 pace, which seems so slow but I did not get a stitch.

Ok, I will try that, thank you

I do not think it is too fast and I try to breathe deeply. It could be dehydration.. I have been not trying to drink before though because I read from many places it can cause the stitches.

I have not counted in a very long time BUT I had counted before and got an idea of portion control and all of that. I still eat the same things for breakfast and lunch typically and I still look at nutrition labels when I buy stuff and still avoid things that are high calorie and not healthy. You can lose without counting…

Also, yes, you can lose weight without exercise but keeping it off will be tough. You can eat more when you exercise, you will feel better and live longer. Exercising keeps you healthy, you just have to find something you enjoy doing. I used to have a lot of pain in my lower back and knees and now I do not. If I have a…

You can do it, I lost 53 pounds so far and I never thought I could do it. If you need any tips or anything, feel free and message me. The biggest advice I can give you though is make a lifestyle that you can live with. It is not a diet, it is a lifestyle chance and it needs to be one you can live with and nothing too…

I am a cis woman but feel free to add me for another friendly face :-D

I am at 648 days :smiley:

My advice is first to look at this as a lifestyle change, if you look at it as a "diet" you will lose the weight and then put it back on. Figure out things that work for you on both exercising and eating. Find exercise that you enjoy. Walking is the easiest but it gets boring, your body also gets used to things so you need…

I was hoping this would give advice on how to combat all of those things instead of just telling everyone what they already know.. this will be my first year running in the cold but it did not :(

I used to be what is called "skinny fat". I am 31 right now but I did not become actually fat until after I had my son and got my meds upped for PPD. (I now take nothing). I used to be around 125 and ended up at 210 and felt so gross and sluggish. I had never been healthy or exercised and I did good and lost 50 pounds but…

New runner here, I am doing a training app to get me to run all the time instead of run/walk/run/walk but I am averaging around 4-5 runs a week if I can get it in :)

Add me if you would like :) kellybarbour@outlook.com

You can add me :) I do not log much anymore though since I have been doing this awhile, I typically log on to log exercise and such but respond to messages if you want to message me :)

I did not read all of the replies but my son and I both have chronic hives. My son's is unknown cause and mine is a severe allergy to dust. At any rate, its pretty much a constant, unavoidable battle. We have been to many specialists and you should be taking more than benadryl. I am also not sure what of these meds you can…

I have it on my fingers and hands too and I got this aveeno baby eczema stuff and its been working great. It is not completely gone but its not cracked and itchy. Its super thick cream and I layer is on before bed. I also use gold bond eczema lotion anytime my hands get wet.

I counted on here for a very long time. I do not count anymore but still look at calorie content and avoid things with high calorie/sodium, etc and just try to make good food choices. I have lost 14 more pounds doing this. They key word is picking healthy food and not eating junk or huge amounts. Do not eat things out of…

Does that have to be nailed into the wall? Can you buy it on amazon?

Thanks, I have been doing the running then walking type thing and logging around 15 miles per week but then I get sick haha! Yeah, I have heard that about the pull ups but I know my arm muscles in general are about as effective as jello ;) working on it though haha.

Thank you so much, great advice!!

If I get cravings late at night, I typical go for fruits like watermelon or grapes. They are low cal and full of juice. Also try water, sometimes you can think you are hungry but actually be thirsty.

Thanks guys, I may. I may not buy a bunch but I think I will look after work when I get paid friday, I just dont want to waste money on something I may wear a couple months and never touch again you know? lol

I got 2 new bras because they were literally not working anymore, other than that maybe a shirt, I was wearing baggy stretchy stuff before because I did not like my rolls nor did I intend on showing everyone lol, so aside from the tshirts being big, I can still wear mostly everything, its just loose.

I have been almost 1/2 a year with no soda (though every once in a blue moon I have a diet one, I know they are bad but this coming from someone who used to drink 5-6 a day... lol). Cheese is my chocolate lol, I have never been a sweets fan so I have cut out a lot of it and have it rarely as well but it is one of those…
