I've "relapsed" once since starting last year... I started last summer and got to my goal weight by the holiday season and I couldn't force myself to continue committing to fitness with all the delicious food. I logged some but couldn't commit like I did at first for a bunch of reasons but I'm starting up again because I…

I have a similar situation going on (a liittle too much belly & not enough butt) and I swear by F21 skinny jeans for cheapies, they're usually under $25 and tend to be mid rise which is perfect. Or to spend a little more, Levis stretch skinnies, give a similar fit but the denim is better quality and they will run you about…

Vodka tonic with lime.

"March of the Pigs" Nine Inch Nails ... actually almost anything from NIN. :D

Bump! So many fun ideas!

Hey, after being surprised at being sore from vinyasa I found this http://www.everydayhealth.com/Calories-Burned-Yoga.htm Though I don't know about accuracy it gave me +100 calories to MFP's number.

I'm 25 years old, 5'5. I started at 175lbs, now I'm about 135lbs - trying to get to 125ish. :)

My favorites are: Spread it on a flatbread or pita & top with zucchini and tomatoes - pizza-esque. Mix it with warm pasta & vegetables with a little pasta water for a light pasta primavera. Stuff endives with it and top with nuts and dressing for a fancy salad.

Thank you. :happy: As far as tips go; I try to drink at least 8 cups of water, if not more, a day. I will have an occasional diet soda, but drink only water, milk, & coffee on a daily basis. I try and stay far away from refined sugar - I used to put 3/4 spoons in my coffee now - none. I have my base at 1200, sometimes I…

Thats amazing progress! Your core looks phenomenal! :flowerforyou: Stay focused - you've done so much already.

Hey, I'm about 5'4.5", 25 years old with no kids and see so many inspirational photos on here. I haven't really posted photos before but these are some of my progress so far - I don't know what my GW is exactly, but I know that I want to continue to make changes and see results.

Also, I'm at about 28% BF (from the livestrong.com calculator) & would like to drop to around 25% BF

Hi people! My name is Jess, I'm 25, I live in NYC with my dog and finacee & am "interning" at a Property Management company right now. I used to be on the heavy side (around 180lbs) until I started college and dropped to about 140. I maintained for about 2 years and then it started coming back... In July 2011 I started MFP…

Whatever fits best for you. One day isn't going to sabotage your efforts. I would go a little light during the day and then have fun for dinner without thinking, that's my thinking. If you workout during the day normally, you could beef it up if it makes you feel better. But I like my splurgey "special" days. :happy:…

I've been on Loestrin FE for about a year and a half and LOVE it! It's a higher iron version Loestrin (24.) When I first started it I noticed the girls were a little sore but after about 2 full cycles my body was completely adjusted. Although I started taking it before I started to consciously monitor my weight and intake,…

I think that it's okay to say something providing you are giving solid advice. I would wanna hear some stuff that I didn't know or haven't tried yet. If you're friends on MFP and the dairys are open, I would assume they're open for a reason like other people have said. If you happen to know that a certain combination of…

No problem. Once you pick a vegetable you like you can cook it any way with low cals - boil it, sautee with olive oil and spices, bake, or serve cold in a "salad". We eat zucchini, corn, string beans, potatoes, broccoli and carrots a lot. :happy:

I'm in a similar situation - my fiancee wants to eat what he wants, usually not thought of as the most "healthy" meals, and I'm not going to cook separate. If you're going to cook, cook - make your own sauce and prep your entree as much as possible. It will save you on money, taste and nutrition. We have at least one…

Medium build, 141-144lbs 28-29 / 7-8? in pants. I've been at Forever21. 24 years old, no kids I'd like to hover around 130 I think, right now I'm at the higher end of my "healthy BMI" and although I'm comfortable and happy I think that I would be even more happy and healthy with another 10 lbs gone. It would also be my…

That definitely seems realistic! I'm in a similar place - medium frame and muscular in some areas even while being overweight, my belly is my biggest issue. I originally thought of 140 as my ultimate goal and now while hovering around it I'm flirting with the idea of trying for 130. I have become more aware of food and all…

I prefer to do a jog in the AM, nice start to the day, and if I do strength training I usually do it later in the evening. Although I don't hold myself to this schedule, it usually works out this way.

Great idea, not sure of your area but check out photographers online - they'll probably charge less that they're working on their portfolio and will give you just as amazing memory shots. Flowers can be bought wholesale from someone local and you can do the arrangements yourself - saveoncrafts.com if a WONDERFUL site to…

Yeah, I would say think about how you feel about this guy - do you want to be serious? It sounds like you do and if so, then there's no reason not to talk to him about it and be honest and open and see what he says. I dont keep things from my fiancee, for long anyway, and I think that's one of the best parts of our…

Check out bodyrock.tv - she's really awesome and the workouts look amazing. I haven't started them yet (working up to it lol) but they are definitely at the top of my list!

Yes! I feel your pain! But not so much with fruits, more vegetables. There are quite a few that I like in purees but not in their natural form (onions, peppers, tomatoes) and it is rather frustrating. Even asparagus... I got some in a mixed grilled veg for lunch and literally forced myself to eat them. But, if you keep…

Thank yiu for all of the suggestions! It's not as accurate as a HRM but it seems to be the closest without having to spend money. You take your pulse and tap the screen and it gives you bpm estimate. You have an option of the number of pulses to count as well. I've heard that some people have HRMs that don't do the calorie…
