Not losing - tips/suggestions/help, please
Bio: I lost 30 pounds maybe 2 years ago and I've put about 17 back on. I've been trying to lose again (I want to lose 40 total) and it's harder than it was before. I looked at my diet and saw how carb-heavy it was and decided to try low-carb. I chose 50 grams/day based on some things I read since I'm not doing it for…

Maintaining is way harder than losing
Once I got into a groove, I lost 30 pounds. I started to like working out, ate well, everything was good. Then I thought I could take a few days off, thought I had it all figured out and here I sit having put back on 28 pounds. I suck at maintenance. I need some friends to walk through this with me again. I'm 42,…

Do I need to sweat for it to count?
When I work out at home using various YouTube cardio workouts, I sweat a lot and I'm tired and I feel like I got a good workout (about 40 min). I just joined the gym and after being on the bike and treadmill for the same length of time as a workout, I just wasn't that tired or that sweaty even though my calorie burn was…

South Broward / North Dade?
I'm down 30 pounds with another 25 or so to go. I've lost the weight at home (no gym) and working out by myself but thought it might be fun to add a workout friend to the mix. Nothing crazy - just mainly walking or jogging. If anyone is interested or knows of any groups, please send me a message! Thanks!

40 yr old woman in need of motivated friends!
I am pretty good with self-motivation, but it's nice to have someone who is the same boat as you! I've joined a few groups looking for support and it's just not working out. I know it's to be expected because everyone's motivation/life is different. I'm looking for people who check their feeds and want to be involved with…

Please help me get back on track!!
Valentine's Day did more damage than I would have imagined :( So I had 3 cupcakes and 1/2 bottle of Arbor Mist (which is huge for me because I don't drink my calories very often). But I've been at this since Oct so I know how to get back on track, right? Wed comes and I have 3 more cupcakes (at least now they are gone) but…

Where are my ladies??
Hi All! I know everyone is busy with work and kids and husbands and counting calories and weighing food and trying to get some exercise in BUT this board gets too quiet for too long! We are more than the number that we post on the spreadsheet or under the weigh-in topic. What is going on with everyone? Can we all take a…

Whole wheat flour
Yesterday, I was wondering why my flour had brown stuff in it and then I read the package. I bought whole wheat by mistake. I was making pancakes for company so I sent my husband for regular but told myself I would try whole wheat pancakes. My question is, can whole wheat be substituted anywhere it calls for regular flour…

Sticking with what works
I've lost 15 lbs since October (10 before I got here) and was anxious to see things pick up a bit. I've been reading about eating back exercise calories and zig-zagging so I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately, the scale moving up makes me too nervous! I get it may take a while for it all "to go into effect" so to…

Dunkin Donuts Wake-Up Wraps
I saw a commercial for these and I see on the website they are under 200 calories. Can anyone vouch for the taste? Did it feel you up? I'm trying to make a list of go-to foods for my favorite places! Thanks much!

Ab work while fat?
Is there any since in doing ab work while still being overweight? I'm 5'4 and 190 so I have quite a bit of belly fat. Should I bother doing ab work now or should I wait until I lose a good deal of weight to tone up that area? I don't want to "waste" those 5-10 minutes doing ab work if it's not going to help and I can do…

Fitness Workouts On Demand
With yesterday being the last day for Exercise TV (at least here in South Florida), I was happy to awake this morning and see a whole new slew of Fitness Workouts! So glad I can continue losing weight at home and for free :)

Where do you get your workout videos?
Since ExerciseTV is going off, I need to get some dvd's. Besides Amazon or Walmart, what other places have good prices on workout videos? I'm mainly looking for cardio. Thanks!
