I am 5'2" and right now I am at 145, started at 169 with a goal weight of 120.

Where did you buy your pole outfit? I would like to gift myself a new outfit too!!

They aren't doing it the really healthy way, they are burning way more than they should and not eating near enough which cause their huge weight losses every week. MFP is for everyday people, not a contest, so they tell you what you really should be doing.

Ok, unfortunately I don't have anything to help you out with, but I did want to say did anyone read her whole post? She said that she was going to eat real food at lunch... just sayin...

Someone gave this to me at work the other day and I totally cried. I thank God that my kiddo is safe and healthy and pray for all these families who have lost their little ones. Edited to say: Can't people just be nice and understand that this is a national tragedy that doesn't need ridicule because of personal beliefs.

Just started NROL4W due to this thread, lol!!

Cool, thanks everyone for the responses!! I feel much better about it now, this is really my first visit to the weight room...

A friend and I were both size 12 and weighed about the same, but I am 5'2" and she is about 5'6" so I am sure you could see why I am miserable as a size 12 and she was happy and looked good as a size 12.

I just started NROL4W yesterday, but I don't like to eat in the morning so I have been having a Boost Very Vanilla High Protein, this may not be the way you want to go because it has 23g of sugar and only 15g of protein. I like it and I just make sure I work the calories into my diet.

Wow!! I just started lifting (as in yesterday lol) and my biceps measure 12.5 already!! I have big guns!! :happy:

^This one says it all!!!!

Right!!!!!!! Lol!! That was an awesome one!!!!!!!

Sounds so good!!!

Just wanted to let you know that in 30 Day Shred you do build muscle so you probably have shed fat and built muscle which would be why you have seen an up on the scale and decrease on the inches. Also when working muscles your body does hold onto water more to help repair your muscles. Don't give up.

Yes you really can milk a cat if you wanted to, just sayin...

Ok I'm not a SAHM, but wish I was!! Here is what I got for you though: I am a horrible house cleaner, so I wanted to find something that would help with that and I did. The magical thing that helped me was Flylady.com, what does this have to do with you losing weight you think to yourself?? Well the thing Flylady…

I think I will start this up again tonight. Good luck!

Wow!! Congrats, I'm nowhere near that yet.

Well you definitly better not get the patch because the blood clot risk is a lot higher on it, my pharmacist tried to talk me out of it and go to pills because of the risk. I am a forgetful person so the patch was a better option for me. If you do get on birth control pills make sure you set an alarm and take it at the…

Congratulations!! That is a great achievement!! And to finally feel good in your own skin in class instead of having to be self concious the whole time is wonderful!

Wow, that study is pretty amazing, guess I'm gonna have to try and wear my monitor through a class and see how true this is of my class.

Good luck and have fun!!!

I'm mainly just cutting back on calories, but have been watching my potassium and protein to make sure I get enough.

I normally do stretches, some of our strength training moves, and then a routine that we use as our warm up in class.

My pole stays on spin because that is how we use it in class and it makes it so much fun!!! I have mine up on tile and even my boyfriend and his friends have played around on it, getting pretty fast and it didn't come down. I bought mine off of Amazon.

Hi all!! I'm 5'1.75" and I now weigh about 140. My highest weight was 173 pregnant with my kiddo and started MFP at 159. I love food!!! It is my downfall! I gave up sodas for the most part and am working on moderation eating. I am taking my time, my kiddo will be 2 next Monday, so I have taken a lot of time!! I want to be…

Ok I am so behind everyone because I have only completed about 6 of my 60 because the only time I have found time to do this was in my pole fitness class :( so looks like I will be attempting some major catch up...

You look great and congrats on no longer being in the diabetic range!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I burn around 350 in 1 round of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. Edited to add: 1 round is around 30 minutes long.

I also bought an X-Pole Xpert 45mm, I was looking at the Sport but it is just a static pole.
