I totally agree with the lunchbox idea. At the least you can probably bring a few healthy snacks to get you through till meal times. And you should try and eat breakfast before you leave for the day. I know it's hard. I have to be to work early in the morning and have a baby I have to drop off at daycare. But my husband…

And breastfeeding doesn't help all of us lose babyweight. I breastfed for 10 months and practically couldn't lose weight while I was. As soon as I stopped, it became a lot easier. Every pregnancy is different... and every woman is different. But... I've lost about 40 pounds since having my daughter. And right now, I'm…

I concur with everyone here. However, there are some benefits to walking instead of running. And different benefits to running instead of walking. Walking will keep you in the fat burning zone. Which means that a higher percentage of the calories that you burn will be from fat that is stored on your body instead of…

9/19 SW- 168.2 GW by Halloween- 156-149lbs (12.2 - 19.2 pound pumpkin. I'm determined to get into a healthy weight range for my height) What I'm willing to do to lose the weight? - Walk or do yoga during lunch at work. And do the kettleball workouts! What will my reward be when I reach my goal on Halloween?- Start trying…

Sounds like fun... do we just come back to this post in order to check in??? I'm late. .. but I know what I weighed on Monday... I'd still like to join. I might even try and catch up on the squats! 9/19 SW- 168.2 GW by Halloween- 156-149lbs (12.2 - 19.2 pound pumpkin. I'm determined to get into a healthy weight range for…

Um, yeah, you're probably on the wrong website to get sympathy for just a chubby face. Not that sympathy is what you're after. You should feel blessed. A plumper face will wrinkle less than a thin one. And it will thin out whether you want it to or not as you get older. On the other hand, you should make improvements to…

It's starting to become second nature to me... but as long as I need to lose pounds, I'm probably going to keep on logging it. My husband and I were losing weight at the same time. When I started counting calories, he started paying attention as well... and then reached his goal weight. I'm still working on mine. He's not…

Week 2: Weight loss week 2: 2.8 pounds Total Weight loss: 4.2 pounds Seriously... 2 of those pounds came off like magic. I was 2.4 pounds heavier yesterday... and last night I went for a walk, and ended up running for 10 minutes straight... which is the first time I've done that in about 9 years! I had a major…

I tried it, and was not impressed either!

Drinking a lot of water is a good suggestion. But my husband worked out for 100 consecutive days... and ate right... and lost 5 pounds. He started taking days off, and in the following 6 months lost 40 pounds. He is at his low adult weight and now could not possibly lose another pound. Days of rest are important too... and…

I did actually weigh in on Wednesday, but just found the post... Week 1 - lost 1.4 pounds Total lost - 1.4 pounds

To me, it depends... are you actually "friends" with them... or did you just accept them as an MFP friend, just cuz? Have you actually interacted with them on purpose? Why did you become their friend? If you don't really know the person, they will probably not realize you deleted them, even if they log on every single day.…

Rice chips. They're awesome!

Hmm, I'm not too into gyms myself. But, I can tell you FOR SURE, that people are not judging you at the gym for being overweight. If anything, they are proud of you for being there. IF someone actually throws you a look that isn't pleasant, it's probably because you're using the machine they want to use. And, IF someone…

I'm cool with having to weigh in once a week with our progress, but I weigh in every day. You have to be pretty resilient if you're going to do that, because we do all fluctuate every day, up and down... but, it's incredibly motivating for me... so I'll be weighing myself daily, and logging my lowest weight for the week on…

I actually just did it! I just lost 10 pounds in a month!!!! But, I need to keep it up, and lose 10 more pounds in the coming month! Good luck! It can be done!!!!!!! =D

WOW! That's a great idea! If you use it correctly, it could hold you accountable to keep doing the things you're doing to make your activity level moderate!

Good for you... knowing the underlying problem can definitely help! PCOS can cause you to be overweight (my sister has it)... but did you know that if you lose weight the PCOS can go away???? That's right... it can go away. It won't always, but it can... and maybe that will help motivate you as well. I do believe that what…

Well... a week off isn't any big deal... most of us end up doing that because of one life thing or another. A break is one thing... an extended period of time not working out doesn't make much sense. Let's look at this from the scientific perspective that your doctor is looking at it from. You've recently, and quickly,…

I tried those awhile back, for dinner... and my husband (who works out a ton, and can eat a ton) was full after eating two! Ours weren't intended to be low calories, but they couldn't have been much more than what you listed there! They are SOOOO filling and SOOOOO delicious! this is something I should put back into my…

No, I don't think you should eat them all... and here's why. The calories burned while working out, according to MFP's calculation, does not factor in the number of calories that you would have burned just sitting there. I'm not saying you won't lose weight if eat those calories, as a deficit is built in. BUT, you won't…

Sometimes you just have a day that wants more calories. If you're really tired, your body will try and make up for the missed rest with calories. If you're female and PMSing your body burns more calories during that time - although you shouldn't eat more calories if you're trying to lose weight. Good luck!

I couldn't agree more with what Rikki444 said. The medical supervision is necessary because they will also do tests for other underlying causes of being overweight, like testing your thyroid and hormone levels. Usually, they will include any other hormonal treatment necessary. They will track your blood pressure and weight…

I love bikram. And it does wonderful things for my body health in general. It has helped me squeeze through some plateaus... but I've never lost a significant amount of weight from the workout. You might be gaining a significant amount of water weight. That sounds backwards, but maybe it makes you drink a lot more water.…

There are two ways I'd approach it. First, I'd pack some healthy foods in an ice chest, and keep it somewhere that isn't too easy to get to and snack too much. Plan your meals to the best of your ability, that way. Second, look up some of the healthier items at your husband's favorite fast food places, and know what the…

Sony has some that actually go over your head, and rest... sort of... in your ear. Since they don't rely on the fit in your ear to keep them there, they do not hurt. The band that goes over your head is super flexible... and actually, they are pretty comfortable to wear. I usually just blast the music out of the speakers…
