  • I think that no matter what stats you enter into MFP, if you select 2 lbs a week loss it will spit out 1200 cal suggestion, I tried that and failed miserably. I understand that you would like have more of a loss in a quicker time frame..but maybe reset your goals to 1.5 lbs a week loss, it will up your caloric goal, but…
  • I personally LOVE the Bob Evans Mac and Cheese right in the fridge section of the grocery store......its super!
  • I have been slacking pretty bad with weigh ins, and had a pretty awesome vacation...but back at it!! SW: 230 CW: 225 total loss: 5lbs The 1st is rapidly approaching, but I'm going to try really hard to get closer to the goal, kinda doubt I will make the full 10...but I will keep working it!
  • I agree its a stamina thing, and you will have to work to build it back up.....but also for me I have noticed that I fatigue really quickly when starting into something, and then as I have been in the motions for a while the fatigue goes away and then I have the energy to carry on (ie: 60 minute zumba class, I drag for…
  • my weight can swing 7-8 lbs a day with water weight and food intake. I think its normal to see a slight increase when you start working out, as your body holds on to the water to help repair itself. And yes, if you are limiting carbs through the week, and then splurging with carbs it will affect water weight also (at least…

  • Don't just listen to all the advice that you get...sort it all out and look into it yourself!!! Especially if it came from the message boards, as they are full of conflicting opinions and schools of thought. Also when reading a message board post, do your best to read it with out any "tone" at first it felt like people who…
  • I will admit that I was sucked into purchasing them when they were the fad according to Dr.Oz...purchased those and the green coffee bean extract something or another (BTW this was long before I heard of MFP, and read about the correct way to lose weight sucessfully). I still take 1 a day (because I dont want to just waste…
  • Wow down 10 lbs in 8-9 days....that was fast! Congrats!!
  • Well done!!!! Way to stay after it!
  • I started out on MFP while I was doing Atkins. It had some great benefits for me, and I felt great while on it. Then I started adding in Zumba, Yoga, and other activities (going from doing very little) after about 3 weeks on Atkins and thats when I started getting extra fatigued and feeling like I couldn't really push my…
  • _I JUST started c25k a few days ago....and noticed that my legs were sore for sure, but then in the following days my arms were worse, thinking back I feel like I was so focused on holding "good form" and pumping arms just forward rather then crossing over my body that I tensed them and locked them up almost....that and…

  • Keep up the great work!
  • I also agree with the others, that you goal weight/week needs adjusted, and your calories seem too low. Also, don't be embarrassed and stop logging just because you over eat. If you don't want friends to see it, change your settings...but don't lie to yourself about your intake. When you plateau and are re-adjusting…
  • I wouldn't personally recommend it...your body's water retention will vary through out the day, and through out the week and month. But as previously stated it is a personal decision....I would drive myself mad if I tried to track weight every day, seeing all the fluctuations. I may weigh daily but made a pact to only…
  • Well I am up for the whole challenge as I was still figuring out what worked best for me, but now I'm on my way back down :) Currently sitting at 230.6 (started around 225.something)

  • I've heard about this...but never looked into it much, but I'm thinking I might have to! Any one use this on shins with good results?? I JUST started c25k last night and my shins feel like they took the brunt of the work. They aren't super tight today, but just a hard hand rub up and down felt amazing tender but awesome at…
  • Sigh* As always...I'm a day late and a dollar short, but heres the run down for 4/29 :) I did 7 out of 8 intervals for w1 d1 couch 2 5K, the whole thing only lasted about 25 minutes because I didnt do the proper warm up...but at least I finally faced my run phobia and did it! Tonight I'm hitting the weight machine circuit…

  • I wish I had good advise....but all I've got is...Just DO It! I was in your shoes until just over a month ago. I wanted to change but I felt I was to far gone to do it, and I was down right lazy!! And then one day something in me snapped, and a flame was lit. I'm not going to say that I haven't fallen down, because I have.…
