Club One-derland from 254! (Pics!)
This morning I hit a weight I haven't seen in 9 years. My highest weight was 280 (immediately before my daughter was born 2 years ago), but my official starting weight (after the baby weight came off) was 254. I'm 5'9" I spent 1.5 years logging calories and hitting the gym. I ran two 5Ks, but in 2014 I just STALLED. I was…

35 lbs down (1/3 of the way there) pics
This morning I hit 35 lbs of weight loss since Late April/Early May. On April 4 I had my beautiful baby girl, and the 35 lbs is AFTER the initial baby weight/water retention came off. Months and months of sweat and tears. No magic pills, just hard work! In that time I started running for the first time ever and ran my…

Looking for protein powders without sucralose
I enjoy using protein powder in my morning shakes (as a meal replacement). However, I just now discovered that my current powder has sucralose. I'm usually good at checking labels, but missed this one somehow. Can anyone suggest any powders for me without the artificial sweeteners? I've looked at several brands online and…

Withings Pulse synchronization Qs
So today is day 1 of using the Pulse + logging food. (Welcome back to me!) This morning I worked our (cardio) for 50 minutes (35 elliptical, 15 rowing). I didn't log the exercise to see what the Pulse would do, but it recorded a good number of steps during my workout. According to MFP, I'm currently at -70 for exercise…

First 5K tomorrow - Need weather advice!
Tomorrow morning, I'm running my first 5k! Yay! However, the weather has taken a turn with a cold snap coming in. (Unfortunately, my two last runs have had to be inside because of scheduling issues). I'm concerned with wearing enough/too much clothing. The weather forecast: Tonight's low: 32 (7am) with some snow…

Protein powder scoop question
Okay, Newbie at the protein shake thing. The label says one scoop is 47g. Not seeing any scoop in my giganto protein container, I used the scoop for my baby's formula and used a scale. One of those scoops weighed 8g. So how big is a scoop supposed to be (approximately) volume wise?

A NSV that's kind of a SV :)
My dad just left after being in town for 2 weeks. We ate out almost every day (his choice), but I was mindful of my daily calorie goal and getting in as much as exercise as possible while spending time with him. I ate well when I could, and when I couldn't I did the best of the available options. I'm happy to say that…

What's the yummiest thing you've eaten today? I created this thread to generate ideas for snacks and meals. List cals too, please! :) For me, it was apple slices (went apple picking yesterday!) and Trader Joe's pumpkin cream cheese spread. Ahhhh I love fall! 158 cals, 1 gram protein, 5 grams fiber

Gym workout help
I recently got my gym membership. (Not looking for feedback on that...I actually love the gym plus it has free babysitting for the kiddos so it's my best option for working out). I plan on going 5-6X's a week. On 2-3 of those days, I have signed up for a Zumba class, a spinning class, and a Drums Alive Class. I'm also…

Super frustrated and just wanting some encouragement
So I've lost less than 2 lbs in the past month. Yes, I know it's a loss. Yes, I know it's better than a gain - but I can't help but feel super discouraged. I'm 5'9" and weigh 220, so it's not like I'm anywhere near my goal weight. This week I was super diligent on calories and exercise, and lost .4 lbs. Ugh. Not going to…

Oh Jillian! Ripped vs 30 DS?
I've been using 30 DS all week (including twice yesterday....I could sure feel that this morning). The workout is challenging but not impossible. Have any of you used both? What are your thoughts between the two? I've rented 30DS from the library but Ripped is not available, so I'm pondering ordering from Amazon.
