Try some pilates :)

Making up for my last post when I did nothing! haha Tonight I did PIlates and Zumba, and wrangled my calories back from too high to just right :)

Big difference! I was eating twice what I thought I was. Also, in general I tend to weigh my food now, which is like an extra little something to keep me in the game and away from mindless eating.

read this: The New Rues of Lifting for Women by Lou Schuler He explains everything you need to know about why gaining some lean muscle is going to help your weight loss more than cardio in the long run. I just picked it up, and its a really great read. Also, eat less to weight less.

After a workout, there is often water retention around the muscles as they repair. The increase on the scale is not fat increase unless you ate an extra 3500 calories

Cliff notes for mfp members with tendencies towards dry humor: This introduction illustrates the internal negative dialogue inside of my head that indicates mistrust of diets and an inclination towards impatience The action of the post. Here is where the excitement happens. Numbers add up to show a surpise. The exciting…

Yes, I am measuring. Slight progress there. Im just impatient ☺ I actually intended this as a very pro-mfp post. Im typically suspicious of anybody that tells me weight loss is possible, and its exciting to see the formula working correctly here. I guess I wanted to inspire the other reluctant believers like myself with…

Female 37 5'2'' 155 pounds Find me, my twin!!

I prefer to calculate my wine servings per bottle, not ounces.... I'm just a lush that way :/

I am IN for this challenge! I've been consistent for 3x a week, but I'll go to 5 for this one :) Lets do it!!!!!!

I am a 5'2'' girl and I've done days like that. Lots of them, actually. The tortilla chips sent chills down my spine. I'd have a "typical day" for me - about 2500-3000 calories. Then my husband would go to work at night and I'd eat an entire bag of tostitos and creamy spinach dip (1000 + 650) and polish it off with a 6…

The food scale has made a big difference for me. I had no idea how I was eating double the calories I thought I was. Also, if you are cooking with oil, that adds up quickly too. Check your portion size on rice and bread very carefully as well.

Log everything weigh my food make exercise fun...I like c25k, dancing, and im attempting to learn how to lift. In the meantime im doing situps, pushups, jumping jacks and squats using technology ... fitbit, hrm, and now I got a chromecast so I can do youtube fitness videos chatting with friends here to keep me fitness and…

37 days ago when I joined MFP, I made myself a selfie-video to tell myself to stay on track if I fall off. Kind of like a "watch this in an emergency" type of thing. I only filmed my face talking. Yesterday I watched it and I had an extra chin! I took a current picture and compared it side by side - I look completely…

Also, he was spinning. Probably with lights and music. Not exactly the easiest time to have a conversation. He'd probably have to scream "don't touch that!" Being all charged up and spinning, probably partially out of breath, I'm not surprised that his "Swat" was perceived as a "hit," Its the gym instructor's fault - she…

I recommend putting in writing exactly what happened and submitting it to the gym office. They should have your statement on file in case this crazy person decides to take it any further.

Hi everyone, Looking forward to being 20 pounds lighter on my feet by Christmas! There is a particular Christmas party that I was too hesitant to go to last year (my husband's work party) because I didn't want his coworkers to see a big wife, but now I already feel more confident and excited to go this year! I live in NY,…

You are all awesome! Thanks!! Can't wait to put these kids to bed and start replacing the endless amounts of Frozen and Lego Movie youtube clips with some exercise stuff!!!

if your goal is to get drunk, go with some hard stuff and diet soda. Go with Jack. It'll work with less drinks, which will give you a better bang for your calorie buck. If your goal is to nurse a bunch of drinks while socializing, go with wine spritzers. Half wine, so you're technically still drinking, but minimizing the…

ugh, so far nothing. Just sitting here browsing MFP and listening to the kids tv show in the background. Guess I'd better get to it! Good luck everyone on your exercises today!!!!

Clean eating means different things to different people. I think in general, overprocessed stuff tends to be less full of the good stuff. And the good stuff makes me feel good, so I want more of it. Fast food - I've pretty much given it up. That's beenn great for weight loss. Even better for stopping my cravings to…

As someone who has asked others about their secret and gotten responses that varied (clean eating, weight watchers, atkins) I can tell you what the look probably means. They are genuinely curious, they get the answer, and then in a moment they determine that in order to get what you have, they'd have to change their eating…

I wish I could introduce her to my mom. My mom will never admit that she's had an eating disorder her whole life. She was always proud that she was skinny, that she didn't need to eat regular meals. As the years went by, she started to eliminate entire normal foods because of one reason or another. Beef will give her high…

Start weight: 155 Goal Weight: 135 Lbs to Lose: 20 by Christmas (the top end of the healthy BMI range for my Christmas gift to myself!) 08/21: 155 09/05: 10/03: 11/07: 12/05: 12/26:<<<GOAL WEIGHT>>>

Fitbit tells me I did 10 flights of stairs and 10300 steps. Some of those steps were my 30 minute couch potato, (week 3) program. Some other steps were the .75 mile walk I forced my 6 and 7 year old to accompany me on after dinner tonight. :) I think tonight I'm going to do a little Just Dance too.

I do a lot of the suggestions above. Yes, weigh those nuts! Additionally, I use popcorn chips as a substitute for chips, and also a tablespoon of cream cheese on 5 saltine crackers works for me too. A nice salad with a few sunflower seeds or a low cal soup works great too. I love dipping, so if I need to dip I use celery…

Thanks! I picked up the book on your suggestion, and also on the link - exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Must have missed it in the stickys. I don't know what some of the lifting means - like "military press" or "kickbacks" or "dumbpress." But I will research. :)

I'll have a homemade bran muffin with some nuts in it or I'll make egg whites with vegetables in it and throw them on an open face english muffin. Mostly I concentrate on drinking. I have coffee and a lot of water.

Same problem out here in the US. Sin taxes on everything. I believe if something is legal, then let it be legal. Don't tax it more because someone in the government has decided its a poor choice for its citizens. Instead, give tax breaks to marketing companies who have a positive message Let the people decide what is right…
