I lost 50lbs with WW then gained them back, then lost them, then gained them back plus some. I did WW twice. The first time was WW at work and it worked for me. Even though I worked at a large facility, the group (and leader) was supportive and awesome and brought in food to try. The second time I went to the storefronts…

I've had a few people say things but it could be because I'm posting on FB and they see my comments. My fiance says she sees it and my clothes are fitting better but I really don't see it. At the gym I try to avoid looking at the mirror because I still feel like a blob but I'm happy with my journey thus far. I work…

Awesome!!! I love that you are aware of your strength!!!! What an inspiration!

We started doing Zumba about a month ago and love it! We've also started taking Drums Alive which is a lot of fun too, great music and getting your aggression out. Feel free to add me!

What about doing some upper body exercises to keep the body moving? I would rest that foot as much as possible.

If you use natural peanut butter, it's better, just watch your sugars. We use as a snack Kink Pops with peanut butter or almond butter and 1/2 a banana. Soooo yummy

I'm down about 13 pounds and while some things are too big, I'm properly fitting into the clothes I was being a sausage stuffed in just a month or so ago. The first time I dropped 50 lbs, I looked like it. the 2nd time I dropped it, I was toned but didn't go down as much in sizes. This time I'm doing both so I know it's…

I grew up in an Italian family so gluten free is out of the question for me :smile: However, I have done a lot of reading on the Candida Diet which cuts out wheat, sugar, and pretty much anything white (I guess it's similar to Paleo) . All of my ailments (fibromyalgia, endometriosis, reynaud's syndrome) are triggered by…

I have been told by trainers that you should be drinking half of your body weight in water. For example, if you weigh 200 lbs, you should be drinking 100oz a day. Rarely do I make my 1/2 body weight daily and especially when I exercise, I definitely feel dehydrated. It's just that I used to drink so much pop that it's…

One hour of Zumba today. May try a two a day exercise tomorrow-hour of zumba in the morning then drums alive in the afternoon.

Since we've cut out the pop, it's either water or unsweet iced tea as far as drinks go. When we traveled the last time, we ate at Denny's for breakfast but pre-chose our meals. Lunch was a well researched food cart (we shared one meal). We don't have Thai food in our area and this place had a million Thai restaurants. We…

I do believe chicken and turkey are water phobic. Maybe I should put I don't eat anything that could live with Spongebob (and no I don't eat squirrel regardless) :wink:

I'm 5'2 and trying to get to 150. If lower, great but I know in my past times, my body looks good and I can be athletic at 150. I even have my doc's approval.

One time I did my weight loss, I lost 2 jean sizes and only lost about 10 pounds but it was hard working out. This time, I'm down about 10 pounds and the pants are just getting a little loose (most likely I was in denial that I should move up a size). It really all depends where the weight wants to go that day! Keep on!!

I know this is a late post but I'm new to the boards. Here's my take on it. When I trained with the right people, I succeeded in exercising like an athlete. At one point, I was training along side of a Canadian Football League player (I of course was doing lower weights but same exercise). I had days where either my fibro…

For some reason, MFP wants to put me at 1200/day but another site had me at 1700. I edited it to 1600. Between exercise and eating healthy, I'm barely making 1200 but when I do 1400, I'm still ok. I'm loosing about 2lb/week. I will tell you, we're eating pretty well and often if you choose the right foods, you still won't…
