Not so sure, since I do the same things... But I think you need to look at the overall picture! (As do I.) We all know when we are being bad to ourselves, and when we are being good. So you had a bad week, you know it, you don't need the scale to reinforce what you already know. Now you learn from it, and go forward. If…

I'm 5foot (and half inch, as I like to brag about)! I just saw my scale tip the highest its ever been in my entire life at 158 (it may have been higher, considering I didn't own a scale until a few weeks ago). I'm here now to get myself on track and to never see the scale tip as high as it has been currently! I live too…

Yay!!! I love the idea of this group!!! I'm 5foot (and half inch, as I like to brag about)! I just saw my scale tip the highest its ever been in my entire life at 158 (it may have been higher, considering I didn't own a scale until a few weeks ago). I guess I was pretty naïve about how much weight I really had put on,…

I thought I was 150 when I started and bought a scale after 1 week and that night was 158 when I finally weighed myself for the first time since a doctor's appt in October) CW: (Current weight) 155 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 148 UGW: 120 I have a wedding I'll be a bridesmaid in…

I think I may be taking the same multivitamin! I use One-A-Day Women's Active Metabolism multivitamin. It is soooo crucial to take vitamins with food, otherwise you could get nauseous. I learned this long ago when I used to get sick from vitamins and my doctor told me that this was because you are never supposed to take a…

Chicago is the absolute worst when it comes to trying to watch what you eat! We have the best food ever and so many craft breweries!!! It's funny you mention the pizza! We actually were talking about how we can only eat the "stuffed pizza" that everyone knows Chicago for like once a year at most. But Lou Malnati's does…

I'm right there with you!!! I have a size 12 dress.... I'm sooooo disgusted with myself!!! I used to be a size 4!!! I could have even handled a size 8 at least! I never knew I was as big as I was until this last month... It all became very real... And the reality was an ugly one!

Congratulations to all of you on getting married! I'm not...yet anyway (lol!). Although my best friend is getting married May 19 and this will be the first time that I'm a bridesmaid! I'm also the only one of out of the group who definitely is a little on the chubbier side! It's crazy, because I used to be tiny! I…

Yep yep! I am the same way!!! This is probably my 3rd of 4th time. I don't think I took it seriously before since I wasn't logging religiously (especially my weekends and when I would eat badly when I knew better). I got depressed so this time, I'm logging it all! No hold-backs! I am also serious about why I want to lose…
-
Definitely log it!!! I'm in the same boat as well... I lose weight during the week, and gain on the weekends. I told my boyfriend that he needs to be more supportive of my efforts. So we try and order "healthy" take-out on the weekends now like sushi or Japanese or make our own meals. Then drink lite beer (I know it never…

Funny how almost every article you read about weight loss and snacks recommends nuts. They usually are under 200 calories (since I highly doubt you will eat more than 24 in one sitting) and packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. They are filling and good for you. I would still recommend for people who want to grab a…

http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/women-lose-weight-without-exercise Someone posted this article in another thread... This is why.

Definitely healthy snacks! My favorite go to when I'm craving super sweet is the Fiber One bars, so I'm also getting fiber to fill me up! My favorite is the Oats and Caramel ones... If you are a salty snack person, try doing mixed nuts! This is also one of my favorite go to when I'm at work and just wanting to munch on…

I'm there too!!! I'm also 5'0" 28 years old (until end of April anyway) with a goal of 120! But ideally would like to be around 115-118 depending on how things go. More my goal is to be back in a bikini sometime this summer and stop being so fat... I am at the highest weight I have ever been in my life and it's getting…

You are really looking at this the wrong way... First, you need to decide that this is a lifestyle change, not just a fast remedy; otherwise you will gain all the weight back again plus some since you'll lose muscle as well without any exercise. When you lose muscle, your body stores more fat; so when you stop eating less,…

I recommend using youtube videos as a good go-to for "how" to lift weights or tone. I've been using youtube videos for myself to get back into the working-out mode myself. Don't worry, I can't do a push-up either! Not even one where I'm on my knees! I saw that you can do one standing with a wall to start with, then use a…

This article totally hit home for me! Being very fit as teenager from being an active dancer/cheerleader, I never had to worry about weight or fat until I stopped being so active in college. Then came the yo-yo dieting trend, every time I thought I was at my fattest weight, I would amaze myself with a new maximum weight…

In May, I have my first ever wedding that I will be a bridesmaid in. I used to weigh 120; and now I'm 156. My goal is just to not look like a total fatty in the pictures, since I don't know if losing 36 lbs in 12 weeks is exactly realistic... I like to socialize on the weekends with my boyfriend and friends going-out…

Hey All! I'm also 5 foot (and a half an inch! haha! always gotta add that extra half inch!). I'll admit, I've been naïve up until recently, growing-up I never had to worry with being a dancer and cheerleader. I was 112 lbs when I graduated high school eating McDonald's 2 cheeseburgers and 2 apple pies all the time! My mom…

Yep! I am with you all on this! It wasn't until college that I have had troubles with my weight (before college, I was an active competitive dancer and cheerleader, so I was always a fit girl growing-up). After my first year of school I went from being 112 to 128, I've been a constant yo-yo dieter ever since... Weight…
