Same here, if there is something I really want (I'm getting away from labeling anything as bad though), I"ll have it but just figure it into my calorie allotment. Its a real eye opener though about how quickly those calories add up!

Belly is always the last to go for me, I lose fat in my legs first...

I"m in! Had to change my ticker as I gained back some wt during these long, cold winter months! wt yesterday 175

This is my MY personal opinion, but I don't buy the eating back exercise calories (I don't lose wt when I do that) Be patient, we all lose wt at different speeds and 2 weeks really isn't long enough to be worried about no wt loss. Again JMO.

For unbiased reviews on exercise DVDs this is a good place to look. www.videofitness.com

Log your caloir intake and activity output. It really does make a difference, and be patient (this is the hard part!):wink:

I"ve finally learned to just say "thank you".....I used to add "I haven't lost much yet" Now I say thanks and leave it at that. I did have someone ask "are you on a special kind of diet'? I smiled and said no, just losing wt the old fashioned way by moving more and eating less".....this person replied 'oh" with such…

I personally have never bought into the starvation mode thing, actually I don't buy into a lot of the info so called "experts and studies" make avalialbe. IMO plain 'ol common sense works wonders. Studies/research changes all the time, we owe it to our selves to self educate and use common sense. I find it interesting that…

I agree, the pictures are awesome, I'm stictly a trail rider myself.

I haven't been on here much lately and was wondering what happened to the 50+ thread I joined before the holidays. Was so happy to see it this AM. I spent January undoing so much of the "good" that I did October through late November. I lost 9 lbs, finally ingrained some good eating habits but around mid December I started…

I live in Southern Ill and trail ride, mostly in the Shawnee National forest. I have 2 horses, one Lucas I raised from a baby.

To each their own, its none of our business how anyone chooses to lose wt.

Here is a link to a web site with some really great articles on motiviation, setting goals, nutrition, etc www.bodysport.com

This post made me smile, these comments make it all worth while don't they? Keep up the good work

Have you asked her why she acts/says the things she does toward you and your goals? I think I"d be up front and tell her how you feel. Maybe she's just worried that she will lose you as a friend? Just because she is "fit" doesn't mean she has a lot of confidence.

McDonalds breakfast, we have a guy in the office that makes a McDonalds run a few times a week, he finally quit asking me if I want anything cuz I always say "no thank you"

same here

I didn't realize such a short time span was involved here....I should have paid more attention. I agree, instant results are not likely to happen

Take a really hard, honest look at your food journal, if you see nothing that needs to be tweaked you may benefit from getting some blood work done. Have your thyroid checked. Also think about how active you are through out the day meaning what kind of work do you do? I have a desk job and even though I exrecise…

YOU ARE ON CONTROL. never forget that. A trainer works for YOU, if you feel her advice is not for you, say so. Heathly, clean eating does not have to be so complicated. Use common sense and portion control. My personal choices are :Red meat- lean cuts, dairy- low fat, bread-choose 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grain,…

CONGRATS!!!! What a great Christmas present huh? Good for you, keep up the good work.

Dam....last weigh in 166.4, this week 170.4....stinkin Christmas goodies!

If I had to choose, I"d say dumbells, they are cheaper. I"ve done a lot of research on KBs and the common "thoughts" are that one should work with a KB expert for proper form as kettlebell training is very different from DB. Of course good form is criticial with any exercise programs as we all know. Some good websites to…

I LOVE pizza and haven't had any in weeks and lately its all I think about! So, soon I"m gonna give in. I won't pig out, I'll have a nice healthy spinach salad to go along with it so I won't each too much and make myself miserable, but at least I'll satisify this craving! I"m not on here much anymore (work is cracking down…

I weighed but didnt' make it on MFP 166.4, down a little more.....I do wish this wt loss would speed up!

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in awhile. I recently discoverd Zumba classes and I LOVE 'em! They are just plain fun, no dread factor! I''ve lost 8 lbs in the last 5 weeks then gained back two from getting back on the diet coke thing, drinking coffee with flavored creamer again and a few days of eating lunch out. I"m not…

167.4 11/10/10 169 11/17/10 da-um up a couple lbs, way too many diet cokes again and coffee with flavored creamer trying to stay warm in this cold office!
