When I first joined the gym, I had the same routine all the time: make the rounds of the weight machines, then do 30-40 minutes of cardio. Blah. No wonder my weight loss stalled. Then I started going to the classes the gym offered and now I shed a pound seemingly every time I step on the scale! I take Zumba, Total Body…

Word.

I used to drink every week. I found that losing weight was easier when I made my drinking even more rare. It helped for me; I don't know, it might help for you. Or it might depend on the kind of drinks you make. I was (still am) partial to the really sweet, high-cal type of drink. If you make a vodka and tonic, it's not so…

this is a funny topic becuz I eat there often. I have an iphone app that calculates the calories for me called Subway Fan.

We're parents of three young children under the age of 5 so we're lucky to get babysitting when we can. We have dinner reservations at the Melting Pot (a fondue restaurant) and we are going to have: CHAMPAGNE SWISS CHEESE FONDUE CALIFORNIA SALAD LOBSTER TAIL, SEASONED CHOICE ANGUS SIRLOIN, OLD BAY SHRIMP, BUFFALO CHICKEN,…

I lost a pound! very surprised!

I saw this post RIGHT after I ordered my fitbit and I had to go back pages and pages to locate it again when it finally arrived! Add me as a friend, my email is niki@roffe.com

Late (again) 27/11: 164 lbs 04/12: 160 lbs 11/12: 158 lbs 18/12: 25/12 01/01: My weight loss has slowed down due to my mother in law'x delicious (and fattening) latkes.

I would like to give up alcohol. It's hard around this time of year since there are so many holiday parties and other events, but those are just empty calories! Also if I've had something to drink I'm more likely to overeat. I need to turn down the wine, mulled cider and eggnog!!!

Oops I'm late. Here's my results: 11/27: 164 12/4: 160 :-)

This might sound dorky, but I'm a middle aged mommy now and I came of age during the heyday of the raver. So techno really gets me going cuz I close my eyes and imagine I'm on the dance floor with the strobe light washing over me. Instant energy.

One down 4 to go (but I almost died holding plank for a full minute lol)

I'm in!

This happened to me. I took most of this week off from the gym (which is killing me since I keep thinking of all the progress I've made with my cardio) but plan to go back tomorrow. I've been pretty active all week though.

LMAO! I too am a nighttime snacker and I blamed this for why I wasn't losing any weight. Really, it was because I would eat my allotted calories during then day and THEN ON TOP OF THAT eat 3787432581 additional calories with all the snacking. Now I just eat less during the day and save a good chunk of my calorie allowance…

Yes, I feel like I might be eating too much if I eat back all the calories burnt. I breastfeed so that's roughly -500 kcal/day and if I get to go to the gym I can burn another 400-600 on the elliptical. But I NEVER eat all those calories back, it's just too much.

Prenatal vitamin (breastfeeding mom here) Fish oil Iron Green tea Fenugreek (for the breast milk) Cranberry extract

Advocare is very expensive. But one thing I like from Advocare are their Spark drinks. They have become my substitute for coffee in the morning!

Wow this is all so helpful, especially that chart! Thank you!

yes, please share your secrets!!! Is it more time at the gym? Eating clean? What?

Hi all, I'm trying to lose weight following a pregnancy. My baby is now 4 months old and I am breastfeeding. I'm not sure how the breastfeeding impacts weight loss. I originally set my calories to 1500 because I was told I need 300 extra calories to nurse but I recently dropped down to 1200 calories this week because I've…

I'm 5'3" and aiming for between 110 and 120. I was 110 this time last year but then I got pregnant! Oy vey
