Bikram yoga making me gain weight!?
Back when I was overweight last summer, bikram yoga jump-started my weight loss inspiration and I lost 30 pounds total. This January I went back and was going about 5 days a week. I starting gaining weight! At first I knew I was probably overestimating my calories I was burning so I was overeating. Then I started…

Can't lose inner thighs and butt! PICS
Im very active. Was running for cardio but I'm active enough daily! Actually have no periods from it! I walk 3-5 miles a day, thats just to and from places not including steps at my two active jobs! I do workout videos like weights and squats etc. I eat a sensible diet. Its not perfect, but I do keep an eye out for eating…

Skinny but flabby now! Trying to boost confidence...
I thought skinny girls who worried about cellulite were just being too picky with their bodies. Now I feel just the same as I did 25 pounds ago (out of 50 total pounds lost)... I've been overweight since puberty, so I guess my skin just has cellulite by default and will have trouble getting rid of it. I am in my early…

Belly button piercings and weight loss?
I got my belly button pierced early April at 140lbs (it was my third time, the other two times I was 165lbs) Since April, I slowly gained weight over the summer. I peaked at 157 in August from stopping some of my meds. Then I have been working to lose this weight since then. Slowly lost to 150 then plateaued... Then I…

Eating less calories, losing weight, but same measurements
If you don't want to read it all, here's my question Bottom Line: Does eating twice (maybe three times) as much protein to meet my goal, and say 10-15 minutes of muscle resistance really make this big of a difference and possibly get me to lose again? So I think I know the answer to my own problem, but I want to double…

Comparing past measurements and weights!
Wow, so I have been beating up on myself all summer about my weight. Sure, it crept up, but I didn't gain ALL my weight back. I went from 137 to 152 when I was originally 167. Well, as it turns out....I went on my old account (this one) and compared my current measurements from my weight on the past. I know this isn't…

Gaining weight from new exercise plan?
I've noticed others posting questions about why they lost two pounds the first week and gain some weight back the next. I have a similar issue, but I am wondering if it's possibly from a new workout plan. I've been averaging about 1400 net calories a day, doing a free-weight routine for my arms, and an ab routine. I also…

Maximum weight gain in a week?
Hey guys! I'm freaking out a little bit....I have been trying so hard to lose weight, but I have only been gaining. Part because of progestin I was put on for 5 days last week, part because I had guests over for 4 days... these were my calorie intakes the past week M: under 8 T: over 303 W: under 12 TH: over 423 F: over…

"Stretching" your stomach? Volume vs. Calories?
So I have grown up believing appetite is about how big your stomach is stretched out to be, and if you eat smaller amounts, your stomach would eventually shrink. The first time I started watching what I ate, I would try to cut portions into halves and eat more often. So half cup of greek yogurt or half cup of beans or half…

Starting Over. Actually feels better than "20lbs lost"
So I took a break from MFP and gained maybe 10-15 pounds. It was so discouraging to see "You have lost 20 pounds" because I knew I lost more than that at one point. I started my ticker over to my current accurate weight, and although I want to lose twice as much as 15 pounds, I better not discourage myself. For some…

Whole Foods
I recently moved downtown and no longer have a car. It has been wonderful on one hand because I live TWO blocks away from the twice a week farmer's market! The downside is, there are about 20 really good take out places within a mile's radius, and groceries are so annoying to bring home! But I've already started to feel…

Exercise = extra calories = weight gain!
I know my issue! I am snacking too much on cinnamon almonds, eggo waffles, and peanut butter! I just get sooo hungry from my exercise, have all these extra calories (i don't even eat all of what i estimate) and i choose to indulge in my cravings. I created a snack size bag of almonds to know how many i am eating. They are…

Bikram Yoga
I am doing 30 days of Bikram (Hot) Yoga! I am doing it nearly every day, not as a New Years Resolution, but because I am out and school and have time to make use of the 30 dollars for 30 days deal! This is very exciting because it was this yoga that really fueled my healthy diet, and kept it going...even though I only did…

Halloween sugar overload
What happens if you eat a lot of sugar this weekend? Yesterday I had 189 grams from having Snickers and tasty candycorn pumpkins. I didn't go too far over my calorie goal, but could my body hold onto more fat for a few days? Can I still lose? I don't have anymore candy, so that's good.

Hello!
I suppose I make my first post my introduction! I discovered this place from an iphone app. I have been using the "Lose It" app for almost three months, and I have lost 20 pounds so far! This is pretty amazing, because I have never stuck to a diet for so long and gotten true results. This is the lowest weight that I have…
