I hope that's it! I really wish I knew how much and how fast one gains muscle..

Those that have a lower body fat percentage will weigh more.

Why is she bringing you snacks!? Does she feel guilty because she want's to eat badly and therefore wants to sabotage your good eating habits? Think of it like someone casting a fishing line out to you hoping to snag you in...don't take the bait! Just smile and say "I'm not hungry right now" Good luck!

I couldn't see very well and because of it I was slow. People started showing up and I guess it helped that I couldn't see. I got over my embarassment. I now been doing Zumba class with about 30 peeps. 2 guys, I am one of them and the rest girls. picture a 300+ lbs 6'3 man. I look like a drunk ape, attempting to tap dance…

It is very discouraging right!? But I wouldn't feel too bad. You are creating a 3500 calorie deficit each week to loose that pound. That is a great accomplishment and required real discipline! Good for you. Personally I can't stand the scale. I work out with a trainer 3 times a week and do a lot of strength training with…

I don't know much about asthma. I started exercising in July and started having exercised induced asthma. It blows. I feel like I can't increase my stamina because whenever I get breathing hard I start wheezing. I just had a methacoline challenge test, and my doctor prescribed an inhaler. She said to take it 1/2 hour…

I LOVE THIS!!!! I just started training with a personal trainer 2 months ago and have found out what "real" exercise is..LOL! I have never worked out so hard but had so much fun! And these women absolutely inspire me!!! Good for them! I

I sympathize with you. I bet you just feel like a break on your breaks too! Not exercise. I think I would just concentrate on weight training in small spaces of time throughout the day. It won't get you sweaty but will tone your muscles and that will raise your metabolism to burn more calories. Do chair dips for your…

Thank you for the challenge! I was debating sitting on the couch drinking coffee, or trying out this new fitness course I found in the park near me. Now I think I'll just walk the 2 mile loop, and get to look at the obstacles for the future... I'm actually looking forward to this!

bootcamp! 50 minutes of hell......

I love Vitamuffins Vitatops! They are like eating a chocolate brownie! Chocolate chocolate chip. And only 100 calories. They are big too.

RESULTS: Grilled corn on the cob, with 1 tsp. Butter and chili con limon. 146 calories Fresh fruit: strawberries,grapes, blueberries, blackberries. 2 cups, 120 calories Char-grilled chicken shiskabob, with onions and tomatoes 4 oz chicken: 189 calories 6 oz. Gold medal winning Merlot:150 calories Grand total: 605!!!!! I…

I tried to like these, I wanted to like them, but end the end, I couldn't get past the weird flavor and texture. And they are too much of a pain to rinse and dry, etc. Icky

Love this post. YOU GO GIRL!!!! Hey, and while I'm at it, GO ME!!!! 6 pounds lost in 5 weeks, started boot camp and have not missed a class in a month!!!! Pretty amazing for this lazy butt.

It means they are bumping the topic back up to the top of the list in that forum so it can be seen again.

I take Vitafusion gummy vitamins, and Vitafusion gummy calcium. I also take 3 EFA capsules a day.

I'm with you! I started MFP last month at 151, and I'm 5'3. I want to lose 20 pounds. I found a Boot Camp program through an ad on this site and joined. I love/hate it. I've never exercised so hard in my life. It seems like the scale just doesn't wanna move! I've lost inches though and my pants are a little loser? Anyway,…

Love the pic. In your signature!

PJ bottoms out in public. Really?! Just couldn't bother to get dressed today? Also, 60 year olds dressing like they're 20, it just doesn't work.

WOW, GREAT JOB!

WOW! What an inspiration! You look gorgeous!

Great information! Thanks for posting.

WOW! You have really changed! GREAT JOB!

Mochas, (really anything chocolate), and Margaritas......

You CAN see it in your pictures! I think it's like someone else already said, you are seeing yourself daily so not noticing the change. Good for you! Keep it up, you will start to see it.

Me too! I feel so weird trying to ride with these fat thighs of mine. And I can just hear my horse begging ..."mom, lose weight"...LOL

Hi Paula! Punky is a cute name for a cute horse! Glad you could join in. And it looks like you have done wonderfully with him!

Hi Emily! Yeah your right about being judged while overweight. It shouldn't matter, but look who we're usually dealing with, LOL. A bunch of good ole boys! Last weekend when I was judging a show, I was talking to the other judge about the difficulty of watching everyone when there are big classes, and how do the judges…

I tried the noodles. I really wanted to like them, and tried twice, but in the end...ick. They have a wierd watery chewy texture. The taste is, well, tolerable. I just couldnt get past the texture, tho.

I WANT THAT SHIRT!!!!!
