  • Maybe for Christmas I'll get band of some sort ;) I knew machines were generous but compared to mfp, they're not. So to say both are way too high, almost seems like a lot of work for pretty much no calorie burn! Frustrating :/
  • Yeah, I hate that it's so hard to calculate strenght training- even the fit bits don't do that :/ I figure I'll just use the calorie burn from the cardio and not worry about strength numbers. The strength is there for me to shape up, not neccessarily burn cals (even though it does that) I just don't count it
  • It's just crazy how the #'s are soo different! And I guess is MFP is going off of what someone else entered, a 400lb person may have burned 217 cal with 20 min of biking, but I highly doubt I did!
  • All 3 of those guys are right!! ^^^ I have also been on a plateau and was super frustrated. I workout 5 days a week, cardio and strength, was eating 1200 cal and still getting nowhere on the scale or inches (or body fat %) I popped in and talked to a trainer and she told me that since I am basically doing the same routines…
  • Your tummy and thighs are usually the last place you lose weight :( Your arms, face and chest go first. You'll get there, it just takes time. Once you're at your goal weight, your belly should be down. Of course, you want to be doing lots of ab exercises and cardio to burn off the fat. There will be days it's a little…
  • Lol, me too!! I'm holding out for the "mommy makeover" and just get it all done at once!! Dang husband wants another kid and Im finally thin again and ready to stay this way and get some work done!! Surgery scares me but if I can grow a big baby and have my belly sliced open so they can pull him out, then I suppose and get…
  • pretty sure if I get that low I'll look like I'm dying lol. Im already 18-19%, I know I can go lower but dont wanna be too skinny. Gemma, That's gonna be my goal over the next couple years, convince my husband lol. However, after the not so pleaseant experience of a c section, Im terrified of a tummy tuck :( I've seen the…
  • I know we're supposed to be proud of our mommy scars but dang lol, you do all this hard work and still can't be happy! I'm 5lbs shy of what I weighed 10 years ago right out of high school and that very much makes me proud but now I have all this extra crap that you can't exercise away like loose skin and cellulite- nice.…
  • I have heard and figured tummy tuck was the only answer but it never hurts to ask additional resources :/ With the weightloss, I lost the small amount of boobs I had too so maybe in a couple years I can just get a double whammy at the surgeons office lol. Thanks for the input ladies, maybe someday someone will come up with…
