I started off with walking. I'd go to the park and walk around the track for about an hour. I started off going with a friend and then gradually started going on my own more often. Then I started doing workout DVDs at home (I'm not super motivated with those when I do them by myself). I've recently joined a gym.…

I've pretty much always been bigger. And for the longest time, I felt like it wasn't okay for me to be comfortable in my own skin. Even back when I was thinner (at one point, I was only 156.... in comparison to my 216 right now) I felt like I was fat because I was still bigger than the "skinny" girls and it used to drive…

My pinterest is musicalsoul207. Feel free to follow me. I only have one food board, but it's the biggest board I have. :-] Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

Also, if you switch your routine up sometimes that can cause it fluctuate quickly. Back in July I temporarily switched to the overnight shift at my job, and I lost six pounds the first week and over the course of the next three weeks, as my body got more used to the change in shift, I lost another five. And then my first…

Are you kind of on the pale side? Do you have kind of a pink undertone (as opposed to olive or yellow) in your skin? If so, that's probably why. Also, if you eat a lot of tomatoes. But anyway, I'm really pale and I have a pink undertone to my skin and I'm ALWAYS red after I work out. Usually after a little while it fades…

I'm in total agreement with you, that's why I love the elliptical. So much easier on my wonky knees. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

I'm fairly new to the working out thing myself. And elliptical and biking is both a really good way to start out. I started out with walking at the park and I'm slowly adding some strength training in. If you want to tone your arms lifting weights is a decent idea. I just bought the Jillian Michaels 30 shred and it's a…

I read the first one, but I didn't enjoy it very much. I mean, the sex scenes were fine, and BDSM is cool if that's what you're into, but the writing was terrible. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Seriously, the only way I could possibly eat 500 calories a day is if I was only awake for about 3 hours and I slept through my meals (I have done this before when trying to get back to regular sleep schedule after working overnight for a month). And you know what happens. I wake up feeling like my stomach is trying to eat…

I have only lost 31 pounds but, I started this in April, and it's only August I am now a size 20 not a 22 in my bridesmaid's dresses I am making progress everyday I can walk walk 4 miles in just under an hour I have more money in my wallet because I don't eat as much fast food Or junk food I've learned more about good…

Oh man, if that was true, Paula Dean wouldn't be diabetic. I hate that her recipes are sooooo bad for you, because they're just sooooo good. :-\ I'm pretty sure 95% of the homemade food I make is horrible for you. I'm trying to work on that though.

I log stuff from restaurants all the time. All you have to do is search for it.

I don't usually log my cleaning hours, just like I don't log the exercise I get at work. Of course I have mine set to active because I work in a very large retail store so I'm always moving around breaking a sweat. That's why when I first started using MFP I lost a bunch of weight because I put in the wrong "lifestyle"…
