Can you explain the difference?

This morning I was up a pound for some strange reason. It depressed me and instead of dealing with it properly, I had a donut. Now I feel even worse :(

Did switch to new ones. I found out I have a UTI. I'm hoping that's what's causing the problem. On antibiotics for a few days and hopefully will return to normal soon. If not, it's go to be a resistance issue.

Ok, should I not put in MFP any intention to exercise?

I'm down to my last 10 lbs to my goal weight. I've lost 37 lbs. and the last 10 is taking forever. At the gym, I usually work off 400-700 calories 5-6 days a week and thought if I eat back some or all, that might actually help it to come off quicker...just a thought.

I'm a diabetic and yes, you need to see a dr. However, if you can't eat during class, can you sip on some juice in the afternoon?

I've lost 30 lbs. going to Planet Fitness. Truth is, you do what you want to do. Some may think that they aren't a 'serious' gym or workout environment, but if you want to make it work for you, you will. I don't indulge in the pizza or the bagels and work hard. Do with it what you will...just like anything else.

Try Vitamin D and make sure you stretch before doing any exercise. Vitamin D really helped me a lot. I was getting cramps in my calves and feet. Hope that helps!

I only have about 10lbs. left till my goal. Is that enough to be on a team?

I'm Pattie and would be happy to add another buddy :) Good job on the weight loss! Feel free to add me!

Turned 40 in July. Would love another buddy! I like to encourage and appreciate it from others!

Sounds delish! Thanks for sharing!

Please excuse the lack of knowledge, but what is MDI?

I also have an hypothyroid. I was actually diagnosed with hyperthyroid, but given radioactive iodine so now it's hypo. My endocrinologist said the majority of Type 1's develop at least one other autoimmune disease :(

Aww...don't cry! You're among lots of friends :) Feel free to add me to your list!

Wow! Great job! You're so encouraging to others...thank you for sharing :smile:

I'm a Realtor. I eat in the car, on the run a lot and in order to get healthier and lose weight, I've had to pre-plan snacks and meals. I'm also taking water with me everywhere which is helping a lot too!

I see that all the time at my Planet Fitness and I do think it's a great place!

Baskin Robbins Chocolate and Peanut Butter Ice Cream!!!!

She likes to smile (and has a lovely one).

Stopped eating fast food...I seriously was so addicted.

Feel free to add me :) I've lost nearly 32 lbs and am pushing for 10-15 more. It's getting really difficult so I too could use some encouragement and would be happy to be that for you!

Hello! I'm in Dyer and look forward to getting to know some of you :) Been on MFP all long time, but didn't know this group in Northwest Indiana existed...glad it does!

Actually I have stalled...wondering if that's the reason. Most days I don't eat those exercise calories.

I use my Sally ( a sheltie) all the time on my long walks. She keeps me company and is full of energy. She really keeps me going :)

Hi Mary, I'm Pattie...nice to meet ya :smile:

Skinny Pop...It's low calorie popcorn and very good (in my opinion, of course).
