I tucked in my shirt today
I had a work meeting to go to, so I had to actually wear dress clothes (I usually work from home so PJs are my normal daywear). Not only did my size 12 Ann Taylor slacks fit - but I tucked in my shirt. When I asked my husband how I looked, he did audible gasp and said I looked great. And you know what - I did. What a great…

Mirror double take
I walked by a mirror today and had to do a double take - I didn't recognize my shape!!! My shoulders are now angular and a bit pointy. Can't wait for my collar bones to reappear. Anyone else have that happen - not recognize your shape?

wii-tastic NSV
I've been using the Wii Active Sport for a lot of my fitness routine and this week I was able to move my avatar down a notch for body shape. I'm 25% of the way through my journey and the program has 4 body types. It was nice to see a skinnier behind while I was "running" around the track today.

Good bye Avenue!!

2 words about exercise calories
I have noticed a trend amongst the posters of threads that discuss why they are not going to eat back their exercise calories - two words – Last time As in, last time I lost weight I did it this way and I was successful. I have a few questions and an observation. One, if you were so successful last time, why are you…

Answer to question: Why is exercise important
I have been sick with bronchitis for over a week now and have not been able to exercise. I've stayed below my calories and have been losing weight - actually more than I expected. I'm sitting in my chair and looking at my belly that is turning flabby, my back is achy (probably a bit from too much bedrest), and I just feel…

My lats hurt
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do about aching lats? I notice it when I stand a lot doing things like dishes. Last week I noticed it when I was running. Not sure what's going on, but they ache and are driving me nuts.

Frame Size - recheck!!
All, I've lost 14 lbs as of this morning and in boredom I decided to do some ad-hoc measuring. My wrist size has shrunk!!! I noticed this with my watch spinning around, but didn't think about it in terms of frame size until this morning. I am now a small frame and not a medium frame 5'9" female, which is actually making me…

Calorie Burn getting higher?
Hi there, I'm guessing I have this backwards. I thought as you got in better shape, your body became more efficient and then you didn't burn as many calories. But according to my HRM, it seems that my calorie burn has really gone up in the last week for the same length of exercise. I'm guess that I'm actually working…

NSVapalooza
Yesterday was Day 35 for me on MFP and along with my 5 lbs loss; I have a TON of NSVs to share: - Drinking water washed away 3.5” from my waist in the first week - I had to go in a hook set on my bras - I had to tighten my HRM strap - I haven’t gone over my max heart rate the past two days - When I look down I no longer…

NSV
I moved on to Wii More Active 30 day challenge from just doing cardio (stair stepper, dancing, walking). When I've done it in the past I was only able to start off with light intensity. I decided to try the medium intensity - and it was the PERFECT level for me - it did not kill me like it has in the past. So proud of the…

Question for Scale Chasers
Hey there - I weigh everyday (it does not effect me emotionally - I'm looking at is as a way to see how what I ate/drank the day before affects my weight). My official weigh day is Thursdays and I've noticed that I tend to drop quite a bit from Thursday to Friday - Last week it was 1.5 lbs, this week it was .6 lbs. Now I…

Really Tired?
I've been on MFP for 3 weeks now and today maybe just one of those days, but I'm really, really tired. I have absolutely no energy and my brain seems to have left the building. I am eating all of my calories (I've actually been over the past two days) and eating a wide variety of foods. I also exercise 6 days a week and…

Ladies - Bra size - how often does it change?
Hey there - I've read that you should get refitted/sized for bras every 10lbs - are you finding that to be true? Also, I've been told (though I don't believe it based on my experience of going from a 36C to a 40B to a 38DD) that the cup size should stay consistent and just the strap size changes. I'm down 4lbs and my bras…

How often to you update your HRM?
I'm wondering how often people update the weight setting on their HRMs. I've lost 4 lbs and it made me wonder, should I do it weekly, every 5 lbs, 10 lbs? I know the closer to my actual weight the more accurate it will be, but was just curious what others are doing. Thanks!!!!
