Hi Guys, I just found this group and would love to join in. I'm a new mom. My daughter is 10 months old, and I'm still breastfeeding. Ideally, I'd like to lose 35 pounds total, which includes 20 pounds that I gained during my pregnancy. I used to work out after work and on the weekends by going to fitness classes. I can't…

Name: Stacey Height: 5'0 Starting Weight (12/1): 135 Goal Weight (12/31): 130 12/8: 12/15: 12/22: 12/29: 12/31:

Awesome, thanks!

Thank you!

Hi, I'm back from a long break and could use some mutual support as well. Feel free to add me!

Hi, I just rejoined and am looking for new friends too. Feel free to add me.

I'm 5'0 and currently weigh 128. My goal weight is 115. I've been stuck at my current weight for about a year now, fluctuating up and down by a pound or two. It's unbelievably frustrating because I eat very health and go to the gym often. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'd love to have more friends for mutual support.…

Awesome! Thanks for joining me. Congrats on the new job. Ok, let's check back in on Thursday. :)

Thanks! I have a food scale, so I'll start using it. :)

Yes! I did Weight Watchers too, and had the same issue. I also thought maybe the plateau was from not eating enough. Now, I'm just thinking I'm going to need to add more strength training to boost my metabolism. You may want to try doing the same.

I'd say I measure about half my food and once I get a sense of what a particular measurement looks like, I'll eyeball it going forward. I'll try being more vigilant in my measurements though. I'm willing to try pretty much anything at this point.

I'm 5'0 and don't have much to lose but seem to be stuck where I am. Any additional support is helpful. :)

Done!

I don't know if this is true for all planet fitnesses, but the one near me does not offer group classes whereas Golds offers tons of classes. For that reason, I prefer Golds.

I did boxing and kickboxing at L.A. Boxing for about a month, but it was a little too hard on my knees and knuckles even with the gloves and bandages. I now do Body Combat at Golds and love it. It's shadow kickboxing with a little karate and other things mixed in.

In.

I love my fitbit zip. It seems pretty accurate to me.

You look wonderful! Congrats!

First off, congrats! I had somewhat similar problems when I signed up for WeightWatchers a couple of years ago and only had about 10-15 to lose. People would lightheartedly say things like "what are you doing here?" and "you don't need to lose any weight," etc. It was meant as a compliment and I recognize that, but I still…

I was doing WeightWatchers too and had to quit because the new program wasn't working for me at all. I agree it was the fruit thing. It sounds like you might be a little too hard on yourself. I'll add you and we can motivate each other.

Welcome!! I'll add you. We can motivate each other.

Haha, congrats!!!

Welcome!

Ditto! You all can add me too!

Congratulations!! Awesome job.

My fiance is really into Marvel superheros, so we're having a comic book themed wedding (not in an overboard tacky way though). Our colors are red, turquoise, and navy blue.

Congrats!

Thanks, guys! Great suggestions.
