Ok I'll look into that plan and the turmeric! Thank you!

Yes- but that's not the issue. I only started dieting again last week. My hair has been thinning for a few years.

Who is Link by?..

Thank you I'll look for that group

When you log exercise activity (walking) on fitbit so you have a record of it- does your calories for the day increase also?... Or are you only supposed to log activity that the fitbit can not read or if you weren't wearing it?... It has walking as an activity listed so I thought I should be recording it.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Yesterday I wanted to record a walk I did...so I was on the fb app and went to Activity and logged "Walking, 1 hour, 3.5 miles" Then it added in additional calories burned to my total burn for the day.... Shouldn't that number not have changed since it was recording my steps and cals burned…

Yes- I used the time of day column and everything and it showed as a double dip on MFP and in the fitbit when it synced so I had two seperate calories burns?... I did one workout not two...

Ok- When I logged my exercise on MFP it DID double dip....and the calories burned on my fitbit didn't change to a lower number?... Did I do something wrong?

I'm going to try this. How long does it take to get into a ketosis state so I'm burning fat and not stored carbs?... Does doing exercise speed help you get into ketosis faster?

I shouldn't laugh but the "fatty solidarity" comment cracked me up! I'm the same way though. I feel like everyone is staring and judging. Which makes me want to comfort myself with food. HELLO-that's how I got fat! grrr I hate that cute clothes don't fit, that I'm too self concious to wear shorts in the Texas summer, that…

^^ THIS!

Ok thanks everyone! I'll try lifting heavier than I have been and eating more cleanly.

January: 1. Make an eating plan and actually stick to the plan! 2. exercise 4 days a week at least 3. drop 5 pounds 4. get more sleep!! 5. read more books instead of watching so much tv :)

That's awesome! Way to go! :)

darn it- ok I was thinking running would be good for my weight loss and leaning out. guess I'll do lunges and weights. :/

"What is often called lack of motivation is actually lack of discipline and lack of habit." TRUTH!

crap

How fast do you run?... The fastest I go on my treadmill is 6mph.

I have a small homegym that I use for strength training too. It is mostly just for arms. I try to do the different exercises for my legs with it and it's really difficult. :-/ I have Jillian Michaels DVDs I use too. My treadmill is my favorite and so I have actually gotten my money's worth out of it. LOL I just want to…

I'm in the same struggle. I'm 28 and my story matches yours except I lost 34 and have put back on 12. I stopped even updating my ticker with all the weight gains. :( I'm in the same boat.

Yep.... think it's because I focus on my problem areas most(my legs) I have thunder thighs and knee fat and big calves and shin fat. It's the first place I gain and the last place I lose. I know I've lost some weight but the legs are still very large and quite dimpley and jiggly. :-( The top half is slim and the bottom…

I'm the same way.....I just lose my control on the weekends and binge...then I'm tired and take a nap...then wake up bored and go eat more junk....all I've done is gain the last few months. :(

You must be my leg twin!! When I was a 130 mine got pretty slim....for MY legs. At 140 they're back to ugly tree trunks.... I'm hoping once I get back on track with my dieting I'll lose down to 120-125 and they'll look like I've always wanted them too. It's the first place I store fat and the LAST place I lose it.... We…

I have a treadmill and LOVE it!! Schedule a workout time and days to get on it. If it's in in your "schedule" then you have to workout. I get insomia periodically too and when it's 2:00am and I'm awake....well maybe my body wants my jiggly butt on that treadmill!? So I get up and walk on it for a bit and tire out and then…

I'm 5'6" (almost ) and I'm 140 but want to get to 130....125 if I still feel I have extra fat and it's not tooooooooo much harder to sustain. My biggest problem is sustaining the weight loss. :-/ I'm bottom heavy and all my extra weight is in my legs. In the shins, calves, knees(on top and sides) and thighs and saddle bag…

ME TOO! Only I fell off the wagon at the start of August and then didn't try to hard to get back on.... I have an addiction to food ( I love it) and think about it ALL day long!!! The previous posts are all correct- Just do it and focus on one day at a time.... Maybe we'll both get back on the wagon soon. :-/

I'm 5'5.75" LOL and 140lbs I want to get to 130....maybe 125lbs....depending on how I look and if it's hard for me to maintain. I'm a pear shape so the majority of my fat is well all over my legs...shins knees calves thighs hips...grosse! I want it off. Feel free to friend me! African safari's sound awesome btw!

I lost 35lbs and have put back on 10! I'm in :)
