  • I created a new exercise and called it PiYo sweat, PiYo Drench, whichever one i did and compared it to the bewitchn kitchen blog. She's about my height/weight, so i figured what she burned is probably close to what I burned.
  • You can add me if you want! I eliminated all of the people I had on mine because they weren't encouraging or helpful at all. One just complained about her relatives. Weird. Anyway. I'm a struggler as well. I'm 5'3 and would like to lose around 10 lbs. Not much, but I have poly cystic ovary syndrom which is a weird hormone…
  • The weight loss envy route was actually my first reaction because to be honest, I've been there. My husband is tall and pretty lanky. He is 6' and currently around 160. When he gained weight a while back he was around 180. He didn't really change his diet too much but just started running a bit more. All of a sudden he…
  • I'm at 1200 calories. I see people posting that it's not healthy. Well MFP posted me at 1200. I'm short but I exercise 2-3 times a day. I was originally at 1400 when I put in that I wanted to lose .5 lb a week. Well I wasn't seeing any results for months so I recently switched myself to wanting to lose 1 lb a week which is…
  • Thanks everyone for the comments. I decided to go for it and bought the New Balance Minimus 10 trail running shoe. I started out light and walked in them which felt fine. Did my first run in them last night and I think I'm really going to like them. My feet definitely felt like they were adjusting since it's a whole new…
  • Thanks for the input. I've recently gone to the store to try them out a little and was going to go back with socks this time (had my flip flops on :) ) Do you know if they should be more snug than a regular shoe? I'd been told when I bought my Aasics to buy a size up so that I don't crunch my toes. You know if this is good…
  • Putting what you plan on eating at night is a big helper. I always feel like I need something sweet at night and I get really tempted to go nuts so sometimes what I do is have a "naughty" cereal around. I don't eat it for breakfast but have it for my night time snack instead. Like the Special K with chocolate, or Krave…
  • I know how you feel as well! I have been doing well logging in and going to the gym and yet I GAINED two pounds even though my tracker says, "in 5 weeks you will have lost two pounds". I was like well obviously NOT because I gained!! I was so mad I ate pie and had a beer!!! Which just of course made me feel worse. I know I…
  • Good job on getting started. Sounds like you are getting some good protein with the meats and veggies. If bread carbs are hard on you, you could try more carbs from fruit. They digest well. Otherwise I don't know if you've tried couscous or quinoa, or barley. I seem to do better on these. Sounds like you are doing well…
