I just started last Friday and so far, I am loving it!

Unfortunately, I'm stuck in a contract until June with WW. I was a returning lifetime member. I lost my weight on one of the old plans while training for a half marathon. Once I really became an athlete, WW wasn't a good fit for me because I couldn't eat enough. With the new Freestyle plan, I thought that it would finally…

Nike said it best! Honestly, I hate getting up in the morning, but I know that I feel better when I get my workout done before work. And I know that no matter how much I try to convince myself that I am going to do my workout in the evening, it just doesn't happen. My problem is when I get up that early, by the time I get…

Also, FYI, I was really sick in the early stages of pregnancy and I found that if I ate, I felt better. Don't not eat just because you're trying to stay within your calorie range.

I teach 4 and 5 year olds. I started in October of 2014 and have gained 20 pounds since starting. It's really disappointing because I was in the best shape of my life and was training for a marathon when I started. I've regretted it ever since and plan on leaving at the end of the school year, in June. It's so stressful…

I've done it. It's a great program. I graduated from that and went to a 10K, then a half marathon, then a full marathon.

I agree with above poster about always having it with you. I also use a straw. I make little games with myself, like how far can I make the water go down before I have to take a breath, and silly stuff like that, buy hey, it gets the water down, I drink about 100 ounces a day!

Yep, several times :( I also carry the bulk of my weight in my belly. I had a lady ask me if I was pregnant once (she was the owner of a restaurant I was eating at) and when I told her no, she stood behind the counter and stared at me for the longest time and then asked me, "are you sure?" Another time, I was doing mobile…

EXTREMELY!! Helpful! Thank you!!! And thank you to AlwaysinMotion who sent me here!

Thank you!! I will read it right now. Congratulations on 100 pounds!!

Mine do this too. I know I get plenty of water. I have weird feet and they've always given me problems one way or another so I just thought it was me.

Post. I believe it helps to rebuild the muscle after working out.

Losing fat is all about diet.

That would be me.

Yep, water. It's taken me three weeks to finally see it on the scale.

YES!! But mine isn't recipes, mine is fitness and motivational posters! It's actually kind of why I'm here right now :)

It has taken me about three weeks for my gym work to show up on the scale. I notice that when I'm sore, I weigh as much as 3 pounds heavier than when I'm not. This week, all my hard work is finally showing up. Hang in there, keep doing what you're doing, you'll do great. I didn't look at your food diary, so I'm assuming…

I usually just use something comparable.

I eat pretty much whatever I want. Moderation is definitely the key. If I want a cookie, then I'm going to spend the 200 calories on a cookie and make room for it. I'll also work it off at the gym or walk or run around the neighborhood.

I lost 50 pounds on WW, hit lifetime and over four years most of it back. I got tired of the meetings and the points, and like you, the last time I tried it, I was starving all the time trying to train for a marathon without enough fuel. I ended up getting hurt and not getting to do the marathon. Now I'm back with mfp and…

I'm 5'1 and 157. I have mine set to 1200 and I eat back my exercise calories, around 200-500 per day. I lose about 1.5 pounds a week.

Too much sodium, I'm thinking. Less sodium, more water. I weigh every day too and it's always different. But I only have Mondays that "count."

Mine is open. You're welcome to add me.

How long ago did you lose your weight? How old are you? age plays a part in weight loss to some extent. Also, your metabolism could have slowed a bit from the on again/off again weight loss and it may take some time to get it back.

I like to use lunch as my biggest meal. I run/workout in the morning so I like to keep it fairly light before that. I don't have a snack between breakfast and lunch so I'm pretty hungry for lunch. Then I'll eat a light dinner since the heavier lunch will stay with me for awhile. then I have a light snack before bed.

I'm 5'1 and i didn't even change a clothing size until I had lost about 20 pounds. You'll get there! Are you doing any type of strength training?

Bottled water helps me. It's easy and portable and it goes fairly quickly. I line 4 up on the counter and I know they have to be gone by day's end. I still have a soda with lunch but knowing those bottles have to be gone makes it easier to reach for those instead of extra sodas.

I have found that if I am in the process of gaining, I feel heavy and unattractive at a heavier than goal weight. When I start to lose, I feel better at the same weight. Does that make sense? For example, my goal is 134. I got down to 118. When I was gaining weight, I felt so fat at 146. I got up to 160. Now that I'm…

I use the Costco Kirkland Weight Loss Shakes. They are so yummy and I'll drink one at breakfast. I don't do it as a "plan" per se, but it's a quick, easy filler for breakfast. I've also been known to zoom up a smoothie or have a Jamba Juice at dinner time. My husband works nights and my son is happy with pbj so I'm not one…
