I am in

You have done awesome! you have given me a great idea..I am going to go get me a cheap bikini and do the same ;)

I would not sync with MFP. i just manually record my active minutes.

You can always listen to people. I dont care if they think they know it all because did a certain way. Every body works differently. I for one ALWAYS lose inches in my thighs, hips, abs... if i just simply walk and do stairs. I think that you have to find out what works for you along with your good diet of course.

I didnt get mirena. I was on DEPO for two years gained 60lbs, was depressed feeling all the time, had night sweats...all kinds of stuff. so If you switch to somehting DO NOT Switch to Depo shot.

I think that is myth. I think eating before bed cause me not to sleep sometimes because my food is not settled but other than that I dont believe it.

a year and half. but I am engaged at 34. I think you should just go with it for a bit. I hope you have at least discussed marriage during your time together...if not that may be a problem.

I know some people dont just look for Ideas the critize what people eat. I have no problme telling people what i eat, but I decided to close my diary this time.

I dont know I think that in every sport there is a overweight coach, dance coach, ballet teacher, cheer coach, etc.. The fact that these coaches are not fit and most likely dont participate in a sport doesnt stop cripple their ability to motivate others. they require their teams, dancers, etc to eat certain diets, work out…

I would because it doesnt mean they dont have the knowledge. I know myself I have encouraged and helped many of my friends start their weight loss journey because I have lost weight in the past and have plenty of knowledge on weight loss and exercise. I know some"skinny" trainers that I use to hang out from the…

preach it!

great job! I love hearing success stories from people like you makes me know I can reach my goals!

You do realize that BMI is all about money right? I read an article somewhere about how BMI has been changed a few times because if they make certain BMI overweight it mean money can be made(weight loss places) or given(goverment grants). I think it is a better idea to look at body fat percentage. I truly believe each…

WW is just like counting calories you can use them to eat what you want but you have to make good choices. MODERATION is key . I can eat 1300 calories of 100 calorie packs but that is not nutritional. WW encourages you to eat healthy fruit, veggies, dairy, etc... So you should set aside so many a day to fulfil those basic…

Yes you can! I have seen it done.

I totally agree that meal replacemnet is not a long term plan. it is s temporary fix.

Yes it is good stuff. I really wouldn't use it just for the weight loss although that is the big seller. i am not big on meal replacement. It is good to have when you can do a full breakfast or pre/post workout drink. you will lose weight if you replace your meals..not rocket science. but the nutritional value is what I t…

Try Shaun T. He is a lot of fun.

if you have a email list or something let me know. I will message you my email address. thank you :)

sounds good I am in! I just have to remember to go to you tube!

I have heard from people in your situation that they upped there calorie intake. Especially if they were doing a lot of exercies. For some reason, they lost the weight more quickly once they made that increase. I truly believe everyones body is different. If we were the same then what worked for one person would be the…

You can do it! Just begin to thing different. Don't think about your mental state and how it effects your abilities. Think about your goals and how you can reach them. Make a small goal each day and then build from their. Your MFP family is here for you. You will do this and you will find healing. :)

I have a weight watchers scale I have had it for years. all i have had to do is change the batter and it is still accurate.

I would say inches because you can lose inches at time and nothing shows on the scale.

If you have EAP or counsleling through work. I would probably get some counseling. As far as food prepare it in advance take an hour one day to get it all done. Exercise take the steps to all your classes, park further away, walk steps on your lunch or break at work. You can do it but first take care of your mental health…

I have alcohol. I usually try to cut calories still though. I will use diet soda or less sugar content juices for mixed drinks. I like the skinny margarita and skinny sangria. I also enjoy just a simple glass of wine sometimes. I am not leaving it out because it will not be my reality.

It depends on what you are trying to do. My current trainer does say eat my workout calories but he did say that I should be at a higher calorie intake. I am supposed to eat every three hours and protein with every meal. This is supposed to help me build muscle. He said I can loose weight by eating a lot less calories and…

Every trainer I have ever talked to recommends eating 5 to 6 time a day. Granted soem of those meals will be larger but it is good to eat all day. God for your metabolism and blood sugar levels.
