It's easier to lose weight when you set it at 1/2 to 1 lb per week lost. 2 lb per week kind of "shocks" your body into a plateau after about a month. It happened to me and when I changed to 1 lb per week, the weight has steadily been dropping again. Remember, you didn't put it on overnight, there isn't an express way to…

Not only what all the others have said, but it also helps on those days when you eat a lot of sodium filled foods and when TOM is creeping around.

Great job!!

Yes. It would seem as though I have absolutely NO upper body strength because I truly suck at them! I can pick up my 32 pound son with no problem. I can bring in a ton of grocery bags at once, but I can't lift my upper body up off the ground. You are not alone :smile:

You look great! Good job!

If you are burning 400 calories working out, you need to eat those 400 calories as well as the 1220.

45 minutes of cardio of some type 3 to 5 days a week. I was just doing the treadmill, but my body got used to it, so I alternate with Yourself! Fitness on the PS2. I also do light strength training 2 days a week. I have a tendency to zig zag my calories about every 2 to 3 weeks when I feel I'm too comfy in a routine.…

Great article! It always frustrates me when people in the forums here go crazy with the "you CAN'T have this" or that or anything with... or this food or that EVER again. Really? That's why we're all here. Obviously being on a "diet" didn't help any of us keep the weight off. I will eat my doughnut and I will run on the…

Great job!

Awesome job! I love NSVs like that!

Have a half serving of any kind of nut. They'll keep you full for hours. If you don't have the calories left, do a few minutes of exercise so they'll fit in to your day.

I just had an NSV like that tonight! I always log my dinner after I finish my workout, which I did. Well, some bozo had the spanish rice I ate calculated wrong and instead of re-checking the package, even though I looked at it twice while preparing it and knew I was right, I just went with what they had and logged it. It…

You usually get side stitches when you aren't breathing properly. Make sure you take lots of regular breaths while you're running.

As many as 3 pounds...so awesome to go to sleep one weight and wake up lighter!

Have to give this one a *bump* I love my crock pot too and the poor thing hasn't been used in so long because I got tired of making the same ole stuff...

bump!

sounds delicious! Thanks for posting!

My husband would kill me if he knew I posted this, but I let him use my Monistat Anti-Chaffing Gel. Don't knock the company!! It's just for chaffing and it feels silky smooth for hours! He thinks it works really well.

Great job! You look awesome!

There are a few people in the forums that this has come true for. Here's one: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/186406--if-every-day-were-like-today-you-d-weigh-in-5-weeks-it?hl=you%27d+weigh+in+5+weeks If you do a search with the words "in 5 weeks you'd weigh" you'll find others. My food log has told me the exact…

Mine told me medium frame and 136 to 149. I was really aiming for 150, but I guess I can go 1 more pound down, lol. There's a reason I don't like BMI numbers, they don't take genetics and frame into account! At least this site does address frame size.

Any time I have ever dieted or lost weight, TOM goes all crazy. I skip entire months sometimes! That has happened to me twice since I've actually been steadily losing weight with MFP. If you're really concerned, talk to your doctor, but your body is producing hormones for a smaller body than it was before. It's bound to…

I have them occasionally. Sometimes you just need more than water! And sometimes *gasp* I have a really small non-diet soda! I try to have maybe 1 every 2 weeks or so because I bloat easily and the sodium does me in! If it doesn't bloat you, I say enjoy!

Do you have Netflix or rent videos ever? Or, do you have a Playstation 2 or 3?? I was stuck just doing the treadmill and I started alternating every other day with aerobics. I use Yourself Fitness for the PS2 and I have some aerobic DVDs as well. If you have Netflix, you could get some Zumba or other fun aerobic DVDs. You…

Eat about 120 or so calories of nuts and I pretty much guarantee that you won't feel hungry for hours!

I haven't found a pair of shoes that helps yet! Someone told me to try Asics, but I haven't been able to buy any yet. :ohwell:
