Weight loss stoped after starting weightlifting
Hello. I’m 41 years old, 5’2.5” and weigh 198lbs. I was 244 at my highest. It’s hard for w to lose weight due to my health issues. I take prednisone daily, multiple times a day and will for life. Anyway, I was losing weight slowly (because I refuse to drop my calories down really low and be miserable) but usually 4-6lbs a…

Wow that is exciting!
I did it! Today I did my 6 month weigh in and measurements. I’m down 50.2 lbs and 42 inches! 7 of those inches are from my belly! I’m so excited! I’ve gone from a size 20 jean to a loose 14. Still haven’t had anyone other than husband and kids notice/say anything and since I’ve really not told anyone but my weight loss…

189.9
OMG!!!! The last time I was in the 190’s was 3 years ago, I got to 199 before my brain surgery because I wanted to be as healthy as possible for surgery. Of course I gained it all back after and then a year ago got diagnosed with a disease that means I will be on steroids daily for life. Fun times! I ballooned up to 235 in…

Next goal
What's everyone's next goal? I just reached onederland this week!!! My goal is kind of silly but I want to be able to get on the scale at night after eating/drinking all day and STILL be in onederland! lol Right now I'm at 196 in the am and at night I'm 200-202. I can't wait to be under 200 no matter what time of day or…

Goal weight still overweight
Anyone else have a goal weight that still puts them in the overweight category? I am 5'2" and my goal weight is 160lbs. That puts me at overweight, 1lb under being moderately obese. The charts say the highest I should be is 121. I think that is absurdly ridiculous. I started 12 weeks ago at 235 and am currently 198. Anyone…

Lost 25lbs in 2 months and can't be happy
I don't know what's wrong with me? I've lost 25lbs and 23 inches since is started on Nov 1st and I'm not excited. In fact I'm pissed that's all I've lost. In the past I would have been ecstatic to lose even 5lbs in a month, so I just can't figure it out and I'm worried that feeling this way is going to make me quit. It…

Trying to break my sugar addiction.
I am a sugar addict. Until yesterday I would eat 2-3 candy bars plus other highly processed sugar food/drinks a day. Even while losing weight. Just for it in with my calories or worked out more. I decided that's just too unhealthy, obviously. So yesterday and today I have not had any sugar, other than what's in "normal"…

How???
How on earth do you post pics with a samsung?? Is there a thread I can read somewhere? I looked but I must be blind because I can't find one. I used to use my computer to post pics years ago but now that I only use my phone to get on here I have no clue. Any help?

Worst part of losing weight?
For me it's having my calorie amounts go down. I just changed my weight on here and get to eat almost 100 calories less a day. And of course the same workouts give me a smaller calorie burn, so that's less to eat. I like to eat. A lot. lol I set my goal at 1/2lb a week to lose so that I can eat as much as possible. So…

Calories burned
How do you log your weight lifting? I mean, I know you put under cardio, weight lifting, but how much time do you put? My workout start to finish is around 1 hour 20min. Obviously a lot of that is spent just standing still in between lifts. So I always log it as 45min. That says I burn 200 calories. Does that sound right?…

My arms don't seem to be getting stronger.
So on Wed I will start week 5. I can still only lift the 45lb bar during the overhead press. Today I did get 1x5@50, 1x4@50, 1x3@50 And 2x5@45. Even just the bar is so hard for me. Why can't I seem to make any progress with this?

How long until I don't look like a bloated dead fish?
I started heavy weight lifting 4 weeks ago. When does all the water weight go away? I'm bigger than when I started. I'm SO bloated. I look like a stuffed sausage in all my clothes. It's beyond frustrating and makes me not want to keep going. I had a really bad migraine for 3 days last week so I missed my workout and on the…

Feel like crap the day after weight lifting.
I finished day 4 of stronglift 5x5 yesterday. I'm obviously new to this so my weights are very low. Anyway, the day after I always feel horrible. I'm SO tired and just yucky feeling. It's almost like a very minor flu feeling. I'm eating 1800-2000 calories a day so it can't be that I'm not eating enough. Any ideas?

Question about squats for the ladies.
What weight did you start with? Where did you end up and how long did it take to get there? I just started squatting with weights (before weights I just squatted with a 10lb ball) a couple weeks ago. I started at 65lbs and today I am at 125lbs. I just feel like that's a really low weight when I read all these posts from…

Are you pregnant?!
So I got asked today at work if I'm pregnant. What a huge blow. I have been busting my butt for the last 5 weeks at the gym. Lifting heavy 3 days a week and walking a lot daily. And I have also stayed under my caleries. I have only lost 4lbs but have lost over 12". This seriously depressed me. I went home for lunch and…

Please help!
I have tried to lose weight many times in the past and always lost about 10-15lbs the first month. This time I have lost only 4lbs since Aug 1st and none in the last 2 weeks. I'm getting very frustrated since I have 100lbs to lose! Any help would be great. I am unsure what to set my fitness level at. I sit all day at my…

Fitbit and calories
I just got my fitbit and I put in that I want to lose 1lb a week. I am so confused by the amount of calories it gives me though. Right now for the day it says I have 1997 in/2548 out and that I still have 449 left to eat. How can I eat almost 2400 calories a day and still lose 1lb a week? That sounds just crazy to me. It's…

Very sick day after working out
I just started lifting weights a few weeks ago. In the past anytime I tried to lose weight I only did cardio. I hate cardio so this time I am trying weights and have found I really love them. Right now I am only using the machines, not free weights. Anyway on Monday I did 30min on the stationary bike first and then 45min…

Core Power
Has anyone tried this? It is a high protein milk shake that has 26g of protein in 11.5oz. 240 calories. I love it, it's so yummy! I have it 3 times a week after weight lifting. I get it at Kwik Trip, not sure if it is sold anywhere else or not.

Is not being sore bad? Weight lifting question...
I have just started strength training. Right now I am just doing all of the weight machines at the YMCA, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I am doing 2 sets of 12 reps with the weights as heavy as I can and still be able to get both sets done. Though sometimes I only can manage 10 reps the second set. Anyway I am not really sore…

Eating healthy makes me sick.
Seriously. Ugh. Since eating better I have just been so sick to my stomach. I feel gross all day and end up in the bathroom so many times. Before I would eat fast food 2-3 times a day and always felt just fine. Never had stomach issues at all. Today has been the worst day for tummy issues and here is what I have eaten so…

Finding out calories burned by heart rate?
My HRM broke and I sadly can't afford another one at this time. So I am trying to find the best way to figure out how many calories I am burning. The machines at the gym have always been way low for me. My HRM almost always has me burning 2 times the amount of the machines, and pretty much the same for what the calories…

Is my trainer right? Weights...
I hired a personal trainer for 8 sessions so I could learn how to lift weights. I have done cardio and don't need any help with that, but weights was just too confusing for me to figure out by reading about it. So I hired her. I am in so much pain from my first two sessions with her I can't even explain it, I'm sure that's…

Bean Recipes
I really like beans, well I hate green beans, but love all other beans. I just have no clue what to do with them other than put them in chili. So does anyone have any bean recipes?!

How do you eat your grapefruit?
Just a silly question. I was peeling my grapefruit the other day and my coworker was looking at me in a very strange way. I asked her what was wrong and she said she had never seen anyone eat a grapefruit that way. I was so confused by what she meant, how else could you eat a grapefruit? She said she cuts it in half and…

Not losing on birth control
Has anyone else had trouble losing weight while taking the bc pill? In the past I have never had any trouble losing weight. Always within the first week of eating better/less and moving more I will lose around 3-5lbs the first two weeks and then go down to around 1lb a week. This time is the first time I have tried while…

Wool
Has anyone else read the Wool series by Hugh Howey? I was looking for dystopian books on my kindle and this series popped up. I got the first 5 for like $5 or something, so I decided to try them. I was so hooked right away! I flew through them in a couple of days they were just so good! Now I am going to get the 6th one…

1500 calorie goal...
If you have your goal set around 1500 and have a public diary could you please post here? I really need to get some ideas. I just keep eating the same things every single day. I am SUCH a picky eater, so the more options I have to look at the better. Thanks!

Naked
I don't really like fruit and find it hard to get enough in my diet. I will eat apples and sometimes I will eat grapes or grapefruit but that is really it. So I was wondering if drinking Naked juice might be a good thing? I have not tried it yet so I am not sure if I will even like it, but if I do, is it ok to drink? I…

How do you weigh/log fruit?
How do you weigh fruit? I had a grapefruit this morning and weighed it before peeling it. So it was 400 grams. In the database the largest grapefruit I found was 230 grams. So was my grapefruit just freakishly big (it is the only size grapefruit I always eat) or are the ones in the database weighed after peeling? Same with…
