When I hit a plateau I have a binge day - nothing crazy but maybe 500-1000 caloires more than you usually do, all still healthy choices just more of them. Then totally change your workout routine, change cardio machines, more time, higher resistance etc. I did this when I hit my plateau and I lost 5 lbs in less than a week…

I am down 4 sizes but I am addicted to shopping so I have purchased more than I probably should since I have about 2 more sizes to lose. Right now I have 2 bags of WAY too big clothes but the ones that kinda fit I have been drying so they fit better! I am a teacher and work starts for me soon so I told myself I wouldn't…

Atleast 6 days a week between an hour and an hour and a half. My trainer says days off are good for your body, it is when your muscles grow!

Count me in!

I just request and recieve requests from people that are having similar weight struggle. I have gained most of my friends from reading forum posts and then requesting then to be a friend. Most people won't turn you down and everyone is really motivating, just starting asking everyone you find interesting, it adds up fast.…

Thanks ladies - I will keep at it! So nice to hear I am not alone! :-) KEEP UP ALL YOUR HARD WORK!

As long as you are wearing it right I think you should give yourself credit for all your hard work. I also have an FT7 and I average about 500 at the gym during a 1 hour workout - but the longer your heart rate is elevated the more calories you are going to burn. Wear it the next time you play golf and see if you get the…

for me they are WAY over - I used to burn 800+ calories a day when I went by MFP estimates, but since I got a heart rate monitor I burn about 400+ - HRM are totally worth it but you should be fine using the ones on here until you can get one!

I am bad I weigh everyday - but it is what works for me!

Eat more - increase your calories to 1600-1800 and I bet you drop 5 pounds pretty quick. I was doing the same thing when I first started and gained 3 lbs - my body thought I was starving it. Increased my calories and dropped 5 pounds in 2 days. I know it is hard when we are told to eat less all the time, but when you are…

I have a Polar FT7 and it has been great for my workouts - they are about $110 and totally worth the investment if you aren't looking to spend a whole lot!
-
When I have my hungry days I eat - just make them healthy choice, apple, banana, handful of nuts - you body is telling you something. I always call them my growing days - even when I eat more some days I figure listening to my body is important!

HRM all the way! I have a Polar HT7 and I LOVE IT!! It tracks my calorie burn and I was suprised to see the difference in my workouts - I work harder because I want to see a big calorie burn at the end of my workouts!

grilled chicken with BBQ sauce baked asparagus baked potatoes with garlic and onion DELISH!

check out skinnytaste.com my hubby loves everything I have made from her website!

with the economy that way it is I know I would take a job if I was offered, I dont have children, but having the extra income in case something happens is always a good idea. I would totally go back to work!

The trainer I had about 10 years ago (when I went through this the first time) my parents paid $500 a month, and we worked out 5-6 days a week for 30-45 minutes. I am now working with the same guy but he is no longer a trainer (he has moved on sales) but we are still friends and we work out together 3 days a week and my…

Welcome!! When I wasn't losing weight I started to eat more (maybe bump your calorie intake up to 1500), I dropped about 10 pounds in 2 week - give it a try, you never know!

I'm in!! My name is Lindsey and I have been married for 6 years to my wonderful husband! I am a high school behavior specialist and I LOVE my job! I have 2 pugs that are my world and I am so in love with them. I have been overweight most of my life but never enough that it really bothered me, being 5'11'' I can hide a lot…

I agree with everyone else, DONATE!! I know most people give to goodwill or a similar place but call a local school and see if they would like come clothes, I am a teacher and I have lots of students who need clothes, so I bring all my old clothes in and the kids love going shopping for new items.

skinnytaste.com THE BEST!

I just got a Polar FT7 yesterday from my hubby for our anniversary. He said he paid 109 plus tax at REI. So I would say 60 is a great price!! I LOVE it, easy to use and so far very accurate!
-
I weigh everyday and it gives me the motivation that I can do this. My hubby currently is hiding the scale from me for a week and I am going crazy, but I was becoming a slave to the scale and driving him crazy! Hope to see big numbers in a week!
-
I go through this every day! My husband isnt the most supportive when it comes to me wanting to be healthy and is constantly bringing home take out and ice cream. I am 100% committed to getting healthy and losing weight so I have not splurged at all in the last 4 months. The way I compromise is we do go out to dinner once…

When I uped my calories I lost over 5 pounds in less than a week. I have maintained my 1400-1800 intake and am almost at a 30 pound loss, I average 3-4 pounds a week! Eating more is so worth it! Good luck!
-
of course you can eat after you exercise (unless it is late at night, like past 7 or 8) just make healthy choices. My body craves food after I workout so I try and make healthy low calorie choices to fill that need. If you are getting in a good workout you body will need more food to function!

I plan all my meals on Sunday and try and cook or have most of them prepared on Sunday as well. I get most of my recipes from www.skinnytaste.com she has FABULOUS recipes and logs all the WW points and calories. I am down 20.5 pounds in 6 weeks all from eating her recipes and going to the gym 1 hour 6 days a week. Meal…

I was surprised that the flatbread had more calories that regular breat, I was eating it thinking I was saving on carbs, but in the long run regular bread is easier to eat, more filling, and less calories. I agree go to subway.com and it will break everything down for you, then you can see if the database has anything…

Your body goes into starvation mode and will refuse to lose weight when you aren't comsuming enough. I was consuming 1100 a day and exercising once a day burning about 650 during my workouts and I was at a stand still in weight loss for almost 2 weeks. I increased my food intake to 1500/1700 calories and lost 5 pounds in 2…
