This tip by Jillian Michaels killed my plateau
I found this last week after I googled "How to break through a plateau". I did it and now I'm losing weight again. Another site warns of "calorie creep"... your portions and servings getting to be more and larger over time.... they were right.

Am I just being impatient?
I'm dying here! When I first started to lose weight, the pounds started coming off the very next day. On Mothers day I hit my low, 189, and ever since it's been slowly creeping back up. I thought it was TOM, I decreased my fat intake by 60-80% depending on the day, I raised my calories, 90% of my intake now is fruits,…

Ladies! Help with something embarrassing!
I got a big one! It's always been big, it's always shown, but I've always been fat! Now that I'm losing weight, it's all I see when I look in the mirror! OMG! My husband thinks it's funny but it's so embarrassing! HELP!

Stupid things people say when they hear you're dieting
This doesn't mean you have to stop eating my cooking! (If it has a stick of butter in it, it does!) I bought you some double fudge brownies! You seriously think you can do that? What, my (insert X0,000 calorie food) doesn't fit in with your little diet? You HAVE to eat this. It's not fair to YOU if you don't eat this.

3D tickers?
I notice some of you have your tickers personalized with images of 3D models losing weight. I tried searching the forum for a similar topic, but didn't see it so I gotta ask - where did you get those? I tried googling it but I figure it'd be faster to just ask :P

How many people are actually ON here?
When I first joined I thought the community would be like Facebook size. But it seems like I'm seeing a lot of the same faces over and over again! I'm not complaining, I like the coziness of a small community, but is there a way to see the number of active users, users online atm, etc?

Hubs thinks my weight goal is too much
I'm 5'4" and my weight goal is 110. My husband told me tonight he thinks that is just too much loss. Is it? I chose that number because it was the lowest healthy weight on a chart I saw, and also because I started at 212 and I wanted my loss to be an even 100 pounds. I've seen pictures on MyBodyGallery of pear-shaped, 110…

Powder tubs of protein
I've been losing weight for a while now, and yesterday hubs and I bought a huge jar of Pure Protein to bring us back after we're broken. After I had my shake, though, my stomach hurt like I'd eaten something bad! Am I just being a baby, or should I expect this? I've had protein drinks in the past, like Naked's Protein Zone…

How would you log wrist and ankle weights?
I'm talking about wearing them all day long, not just during workouts. How would you log this? As weight training, or something else?

But what if you don't go to bed?
When it's my turn to stay up with the baby, I can go 36-48 hours without sleeping. I know the rule is not to eat after 6 OR 2 hours before you go to bed because your metabolism slows down. I can't help but feel like I'm losing out on valuable metabolism-boosting time though! What if I just kept eating through those 48…

Motivation for those who have never been fit!
I have been overweight since I was 9. I don't have skinny jeans I can dig out of the closet and hang on the door to look at all day to motivate me. So, I'm going on Amazon and saving pictures of the kinds of clothes I want to wear. I'm also saving pictures of the kind of hair I want to have when I'm a sexy thing! For me, I…

Post weight loss surgery?
Before I decided to lose the weight, my plan was to save up for a "mommy makeover" in LA... boob lift and tummy tuck. Now that I'm losing the weight, I'm wondering, will it even be necessary? Ladies, the ones who had/have the "pouch" that hangs over your waistline... does it go away? Or does it just turn into skin? I've…

Not just going for a few pounds!
I've been fat since I was 10, and I can't blame anyone but myself. Last week I decided to start eating right and exercising. I jumped in headfirst, cold turkey, all by myself and I'm seeing real results already. Every morning before breakfast I weigh myself, and I've already lost NINE pounds. That doesn't sound like much,…
