Help? Please?
I was never VLCD. The lowest I ever went was 1400. When it stopped working, I edged back up. I did a 4 week reset in July and ate 2400 calories with no exercise. I went from 221 ish to 224 during the reset. I'm now nearly two weeks into the cut (-15%) and this morning I was up to 227.6! I know that TOM is supposed to start…

Exercise
Okay, I followed instruction and watched some youtube vids this morning. I went up on my cals to 2100 and if I go over a bit I'm not panicking. I'm trying to hit that. Now, what should I be doing exercise wise? I know I should be lifting, but how much? How often? And I adore Zumba but should I stop doing that and…

I would love some thoughts

Not really new... but need some who care
Hi! Been around while. But I can eat like a pig and no one comments on my diary. Or like yesterday, I was so proud of myself. I was under goal and ate well most of the day and not a peep. I would really like some friends who share my goals and will help keep me motivated. To post "nice job" on my diary now and then and…

Looking for an April check-in group
Is anyone doing a group for April? I've never done one... Maybe it will help motivate me to keep up my routines if I have a check in and others to report to. =)

Help Help Help
Help! They are trying to kill me. I get this text message "Miss you kiddo, let's have dinner at Sirloin Stockade tonight okay?" What the heck do I eat there?!?!?! Salad?!?!?! What should I stay away from and how should I log this evening of death?

Tell me normal weight can fluctuate 6 lbs....
Oh I'm not happy.... I started the Couch 2 5k this week, so I haven't been to the gym as religiously as I did the last few weeks. I bought a new scale last night (digital!) so I thought I should see if it measured the same as the old one. It was reading about 2 pounds heavier, which is fine... except that the one I use…

NSV - Yay Me!
(Non - Scale Victory = NSV) It is asked every time. :wink: So, last night my Zumba class was SOOOO full that I didn't want to bounce into people all night. So I decided to bike for a while.... La la la la biking for around 25 minutes, and my toes go numb. They always do, so that's why I don't do it for longer than 30…

Increase cals?
Hello All. I was set up on 1500 calories (per MFP b/c I don't know how to manually set it). I lost 10 pounds in a month. Then I stalled for nearly a month. Last week was TOM and I didn't feel well, so I didn't go to the gym, and I went over my calories for the week and voila, I broke my stall and lost a pound. Should I…

Workout Plan ???????????????
Here's my thought: Monday - Zumba (1 hr) Tuesday - Weight Lifting/Strength Training Wednesday - Rest day. Thursday - Turbokick (1 hr) Friday - Weight Lifting/Strength Training Saturday - Rest Sunday - Cardio day (either treadmill or stationary bike). I really want to fit in some 5k training. And the couch to 5 k plan shows…

Calorie Counting During Workouts
Don't scream at me. Step one, I did search the forums first. :happy: I want a monitor that will tell me calories burned during my exercises (Zumba, treadmill, weights, swimming, ect) but does NOT have a chest strap. So, no polars. Thoughts? Preferably, one that isn't bazillions of dollars. Like to be $100 or less if…

Help Cooking Asparagus
Help!! I need a yummy way to cook asparagus. I got some when I took a trip to Canada and I LOVED it. But I can't duplicate it at home. I only seem to like the taste of the tops at home and only with a ton o' butter. Any suggestions?

Toes going numb on Bike?
When I use the stationary bike, my toes seem to go number after about 20 mins. No amount of wiggling will wake them until I stop the bike and stand up. Has anyone else experienced this????????????

I've lost 1/2 inch in each arm and each thigh! My scale didn't move much, but those inches make me feel so good!!!!

NSV
I love posting these!!! Last night, I was cooking dinner and my husband came up behind me and said "your butt got smaller". :blushing: And to demonstrate, he yanked my 18 stretch jeans down without undoing buttons!!!! :laugh: YAY!!!!! Granted they are stretch, but still. I don't think they are designed to stretch THAT…

NSV - Small and kinda weird, but made me smile
Okay, so I was changing my clothes last night and my husband said, "Hey, the gym's working! You lost a roll." It sounds kinda mean, but when I laid down to go to sleep that night (I sleep on my side) I could tell. Normally when I first lay down, I can feel the flabbies on my sides shifting a little, last night, no shift! I…

Brand New =)
Hi. I'm Crystal. I'm brand new. I'm married and 23 years old. I've been a member here for a while, but I just started keeping track truly in the last 3 weeks. When I was in High School, I was in Show Choir, so I was singing/dancing for 40 minutes 5 days per week. I didn't have a "dancer's body" per se, but I was decent,…
