New to desk work- gained 4 lbs
I'm an accountant and started a job in July after being a SAHM for 7 years. I pretty much sit from 8-4 unless I get up for whatever. We don't have to take a lunch at my work, so I work straight through to get out early to beat traffic. By the time I get home it's time to make supper, yadda yadda. I used to go to the gym 5…

Feeling Hopeless.....
I've been trying to lose and maintain weight for as long as I can remember. I'm 32, and I've been trying since at least 9th grade in high school. My most recent biggest loss was from 280lbs to 202 lbs back in 2013. I gained it all back- plus some. Now, here I sit again. Struggling to find the ways to make it through my…

40 lb...again-So what?
I've been overweight since I can remember. The lowest I've been since at least 2005 is 200lbs and that's after losing 75 lbs. I ballooned up again to 275 where I regained anlost the same 30-40 lbs over and over- always coming back to the 270ish mark. Late last year I hit my highest of 309. I don't know what happened , but…

Busted Knee- Stopped working out- losing weight rapidly??
So I busted up my knee a week ago. When it happened, I was at yet ANOTHER plateau. Since I've busted it up, I've been in "bumming" mode. My diet has sucked- I haven't worked out-- and I've def been eating more calories than usual.. NO work out... and the result? I've dropped 6 pounds. I don't understand?? I lost a lot of…

Busted my knee-what to do in meantime?
i fell down the stairs this morning and dislocated my knee. (Wish that story was so much more bad a-- like I dislocated it wrestling a lion... But, no, stairs) anyway, I'm trying not to let it get me down - I need to see an ortho dr and am on crutches . I gotta keep going but not sure how. Words of wisdom?

Treadmill vs outdoor run
forgive me if this is an ignorant post, but I'm trying to get Into running. I love cardio. But I've found that when I run on a treadmill it's like pure death. I get tired SO easily... But if I run outside its so much easier. What in the world??

Does anyone else seem to retain water when they sleep? Weigh in heavier in the mornings?
First, let me start by saying I eat doing intermittent fasting. So from when I wake up (5:30) until around noon, I only have water and sometimes coffee. With this being said, whenever I wake up, it takes my body a minute (Ok, an hour) to really adjust. As soon as my feet hit the floor in the mornings I can feel the bloat…

Do you follow MFP calories recommendations?
I've never followed their recommendations. I've always eaten WAY below Sure, I see weight loss, but it never stays. For those of you who follow their calorie recommendations, do you generally see the 1-2 lb loss / week?

Medifast and weird advice. Opinions?
I'm overweight. Very overweight- but I LOVE to work out. It's my "antidepressant". It's something that I've found that I need for myself in order to get through my days. It's something that I feel like I do well. I forget how much I love it until I get back into the habit of doing it. I started medifast a month ago. Sure,…

Printable Workout Routine Websites?
Does anyone know of any websites (pref toward women) that have a printable workout routine? Or at least a template of ideas? I'm sick of not having much of an idea of what to do when I go to the gym besides cardio... then I go blindly into weights... but I want something that includes weights, cardio and things I can do at…

Just bummin' need to vent.
No one needs to respond- but I just need to vent. I'm 1 lb away from losing 60 lbs. I started at 294 lbs, and I'm down to 235. Great, right? I try so hard to think that way, but so much is getting in the way of that. For example- 235 lbs is still so unhealthy. So heavy, and I still feel so unattractive. Sure, my confidence…

Is the Fit Bit One accurate?
I'm looking into getting one, but I was just curious as to how accurate it could possibly be since there's no chest strap and you just wear it like a pedometer. Any reviews?

"Eat everything in moderation" VENT!
i'm SO sick of hearing "eat everything in moderation".... For the majority of people it might be great! But when you're a food addict it's SO hard. I'm not sure if its just me, but speaking as a food addict, I cant eat "everything in moderation". It's all or nothing- I have trigger foods (being anything that tastes good),…
