clothes help
So last year I bought two of the EXACT same pairs of shorts, same size, style.. the only thing different was their Colorado. Both size 16. So how come one pair is way too tight, the other is loose?! Doesn't make sense to me

stomach bug
Sooooo all week ive weighed 188, then at 2am Friday morning, the stomach bug hits me. I threw up once, and then some.. anyway, I didn't eat all day yesterday only drank Gatorade. I weighed myself this morning and weigh 182. Now, I know its obviously not a healthy loss, but isthere a way to "keep it off"??

stuck
This is my third week on MFP. I don't know if this is a pattern or what, but I keep getting stuck every week; week except for est week I was 189 ALL week except for Saturday and Saturday I dropped to 187. Now all this week, I'm 188. I started the 30 day shred Sunday if that makes a difference. Can anyone help me?! And…

skipping a day
So I finished my second day of 30 DS level 1 last night, today I was just too busy after work and now its too late.. is it OK to skip one day during the week?? I know many people take Sundays off, but I don't want this to effect my results

what was your "a-ha" moment?
When you realized, "its time to lose this weight?"

30 DS is concerning me
I'm on day 2 level 1, I'm not even that sore (I sweat a lot and struggle to finish) and have little hope that at 187 lbs I will look any different when done.. I have a big gut, huge muffin top, and I'm nervous all this hard work isn't going to pay off.. hell me!!
-
just finished day 1 of 30 DS
I finished 15 minutes ago, and I'm STILL shaking.. please tell me it gets easier.. I wanted to DIE.. sad part is that I had the toughest time with jumping jacks and butt kicks. My biceps kill right now and I'm prepared to wake up tomorrow morning in pain.

not happy
I weighed in at 187 from 189 last week, had a super busy weekend (grandmas 80th birthday party) but did not go over my means at all.. I stayed controlled! I started 30 day shred last night, and had a Luna bar for dinner due to a late lunch. Why am I back up to 189 now?! I feel awful.. I don't get it?? I'm doing the very…

So I planned out tomorrows meals and went over fiber, protein (by quite a bit), vitamin c, and iron.. are going over these nutrients OK?

Are they good for you?? I want to buy some for my mid day smacks, something with a substantial amount of protein to.power through the afternoon

looking for a good protein shake
any suggestions? I wanted to try ensure high protein, but I don't know how it tastes.. I usually drink special k protein shakes but with 190 calories and only 10 g of protein, it seems like a waste.now. help!! I really need a good shake that doesn't put my belly in a funk due to lots of minerals!
-
looking for a good protein shake
How are ensure shakes?? Ive had regular ones, they're good, but never the high protein ones. I usually have a special k but with only 10 g of protein, and 190 calories, it doesn't seem worth it. Ive never had powders, but I'm just looking for something that doesn't upset my stomach with loads of minerals

looking for a yummy protein shake
Used to drink Special K ones, but 10g of protein for 190 calories just isn't worth it anymore. Ive never tried any other kinds, so please help!

The whole family is going out for Chinese food!

30 DS With no weights?
So I want to START 30DS but am not able to get the weights to do it today, would it be stupid of me to do a set with no dumbbells??? I realize id be getting no strength training, but want to work out at home today.
-
you were all right..
Ive posted a few threads complaining about being stuck at 189.2 ALL week. Guess what?? This morning, my official weigh in day, showed 187.4!!! I now only have 6 more pounds until my 10 lb mark!! Thanks for all your help!

thinkin about doing 30 day shred
How exactly does it work?? Ive seen great results in other people, but I'm nervous because ive heard it is INSANELY hard.. and I'm sooooo out of shape, I'm afraid I wont be able to do it.. Please post your result pictures if you have done it!!
-
i cant believe how...
Poorly the scale reflected my activity this week. I think increasing my calories from 1200 to 1400 was a big mistake, not an ounce lost all week. WHY?!?! What on Earth did I do wrong?! Its only my second week, I shouldn't be hitting a plateau already! Needless todl say I'm pretty bummed about this.. I don't know where I…

frustrated, need some encouragment
I started 2 weeks ago, and my first week I lost 4 pounds (water weight). I eat 1410 calories a day and usually am under. This week ive only lost. 2. :( I got my monthly Tuesday night and I'm not sure if that's part of the reason, but if anyone would mind doing some diary spying on me or helping, that's be great. And yes, I…

brita filtered water bottle
I bought it tonight and LOVE it!!! I purchased it mainly for work because I'm always running out of water and refuse to drink tap anywhere but my house (if that). If you're looking to drink more water (who isn't?!) Like me, BUY THIS!!! its awesome

another womens question
I just got my monthly last night, and I have not BUDGED on the scale since Saturday. Not even half a pound.. how are these two factors related?? When should I start oozing again? Its very discouraging
-
confused-help!!!
Ive asked this before but I don't get it: My BMR is: 1598 My daily caloric target is: 1410 Someoneeeee explain this, I'm lost. I get the calories part, obviously, but not the BMR like what it means, what I do with it..
-
BMR??
What is it and what does it mean for me??? Also, I still don't understand the deficit thing.. :(

granola
So, my all time favorite lunch for work is Special K Protein Plus cereal (anyone else tried?) With skim milk, granola, and a banana. However, the nutrition facts on Cascadian Farms Organic Oats and Honey granola says, 2/3 cup is 230 calories (ya, I always thought granola was good for you too...) HOWEVER, I only SPRINKLE a…

what keeps YOU on track?!
What keeps you on track??? For me: 1. Preparing my next days meals ahead of time.. I'm less likely to make a last minute unhealthy decision when I prepare my shacks and lunches the night before. 2. Pre-packaging all boxed foods; I baggy them, label them with the calories, and ONLY eat out of my portion-controlled baggy. 3.…

am i eating right??
I would truly appreciate it if someone took a look at my diary!! I want to make sure I'm not eating crap and doing this right!! Please keep in mind that the reason why my diary lacks fruit is because of my many allergies to tree fruits (apples, peaches, etc) believe me, id love to pick up an apple and munch, but sadly I…
