Am I the only one?...
Am I the only one who gets a bit irritated at that "in 5 weeks you'd weigh XXX" pop up? Because even though I've been super consistant and working hard, that estimated loss is way off :P I knda hate that feature, wish I could turn it off. At first it was motivating.... now that 5 weeks has come and gone, not so much.

I'm going to whine for second...
I think its so awesome to hear about everyone that has had amazing results and has truly transformed themselves and their lives. It's amazing and inspiring. But there is always that voice in my head asking "What the hell am I doing wrong here?" I'm losing so slowly. So. Very. Slowly. And with weight fluctuations of up to 3…

Favorite Cross Trainers?
Mama needs a new pair of shoes. Not sure what to get. I want some that are light weight and versatile. I love my New Balance all terrain shoes that I have, but they're 5 years old (yikes) and definitely need to go. I don't run. I'm looking for more of a circuit training, walking, gym type of shoe. What are your favorites?

Bad workout, do you count it?
So long story short, I just started level 2 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred after 10 days at level 1. I didn't exactly rock the work out. I had to stop several times. So I don't feel like it counts. I don't have a HRM so I can't just add calories because I don't know how many I burned. What are your thoughts?

Trying to stay positive....
Sigh. I've been logging all of my calories daily, pretty much always just under the amount. I measure my food. I exercise (currently doing my last day of Level 1 of 30 Day Shred) just about every day. I drink a ton of water. I'm 5'5'' currently at 171 and my goal is 150. I'm trying to be patient but it was coming off so…

Trying to not step on the scale...
I started 30 Day Shred Monday and my plan was to not weigh myself until the first 10 days are over and I move on to Level 2. Well, problem is that pretty much every time I'm in the bathroom that scale is looking at me and calling my name. It used to be cookies calling my name, got over that and now it's a scale. I must…

Measurements Question
I get a bit confused with "Waist" measurements. I read that you should measure across your bellybutton, but I have a super high waist (probably a good 4 inches above my navel) so where do I measure from?

30 day shred questions
I'm planning on starting Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred soon. I had a few questions for those who have experience with it. First, Do I need to do it everyday or can I skip weekends, do every other day or something and still get results? Second, I have heard that some people have done 10 days at each level as recommended,…

Self hating remarks...
I'm not a super active member on MFP but I am a lurker and I use the tools daily. I noticed a trend in the forums, especially before and after type posts, where members refer to their "before" self as "disgusting" "big fat blob" "skinny fat" whatever. While you think you're only insulting yourself, by doing this you insult…

how do you work out when it's too hot to move?
We are having a heat wave this week in New England (90+ degrees with 70% Humidity) and it's much too hot to go walking outside or even to really exercise inside. I don't have access to a pool or a gym... So any suggestions on burning some calories on a super hot day?
