C-section Mom of 2 - My progress over the past couple years (lots of pics)
I've been debating for awhile about when to post in here. Should I do it when I hit 130 lbs? Should I wait until I'm happy with my body composition? The list goes on and on. I've posted progress threads in the past, so I think that's what I'll go with; This is a progress thread. Why progress and not a Success? Because, I'm…

Anyone have a Samsung Gears s2?
I just switched from a Fitbit Blaze to the Samsung Gear s2 and I have some questions. 1: The calorie burn here: Is that a TDEE burn or just an activity burn? (I am at 15000 steps today. With about 9000 from work. I'm a server.) 2: Any insight into this energy balance thing. It says "vs" like it's comparing 2 weeks. Then…

Anyone have tips for fasting?
I am having surgery next week. Mirena moved from my uterus to my abdomen recently. :cry: Anyway my surgery is at 2 pm, but I was told no solids after midnight and only clear liquids after 11 am. Any tips to help me not want to chew my arm off?

Does this edtimate TDEE sound about right?
Recently I switched from a Fitbit Blaze to the Gear s2. I can't figure out how to view the estimate of my TDEE through sHealth or even on the watch. So I am curious if the number that MFP is coming up with for the adjustment sounds about right. 5'4.5" 133.4 lbs 27 years old I am a server. Today I had 8,500 steps while at…

I gained 3.4 lbs since April !!
And now I think I might want to reconsider my weight loss goals. I saw my trend weight creeping up and I knew that I was eating more than I should. An odd wave of hunger had hit and I found it extremely hard to even stay with my maintenance calories. I have been trying to shake the weight gain for a month at least now with…

Body Fat estimate please :)
I just want to get an estimate on my BF%. Ideally I would go get a dexa, bod pod, or hydrostatic weigh done, but I don't have it in my budget now. Just wanting an approximation of where I'm at to see if it's about time to start a bulk. Height: 5'4.5 Weight: 125.4 lbs

11 lbs lost and my head hasn't caught up..
I seriously still think I look the same as I did 11 lbs ago. I know, I know. 11 lbs isn't a lot, but it's taken a lot longer than anticipated to lose. While it's not much and has taken forever it seems, there is actually a bit of difference in measurements and pictures. July 11, 2015 vs Mar 6, 2016 (told ya it took…

Fitbit Aria Scale - Opinions
I'm thinking about saving up for a Fitbit Aria Scale. I was wondering if anyone has bought one and can tell me whether or not they regret the purchase. My current scale is malfunctioning occasionally and it's getting more frequent as time goes on. I've tried resetting it and changing the batteries, but it's still acting…

#WeighThis (video)
I saw this in an online Survey I was taking this morning. I liked the message so much that I looked around to see if I could find it to share here. Well I did find it, so here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1I_hFwzOYA&noredirect=1

New Me + Halloween = Fun New Costume
A couple years ago I never would have imagined that I'd be dressing up as Harley Quinn for Halloween. At the time I though even if I lost weight my stomach would be such a mess that I wouldn't have the confidence to wear something like this. So here's a brief before: And my (unfinished) Halloween costume this year: Now I…

Costumes from past Halloween's
Don't know about you guys, but I tend to save costumes in hopes that I can use them again. So I decided to put on the costumes I wore for the previous 2 Halloween's and have a neat little comparison to show: Anyone else have any before/after Halloween costume pics to share?

Dress comparison pics (5 months/27lbs lost)
So this is a mini progress thread of sorts. I bought this dress in September, 2014. It was on the clearance rack for $3 and I just couldn't pass it up. I bought it in a smaller size then would actually fit me at the time, because it was a little late in the year to be wearing it. One of those it doesn't fit now, but by…

Form check

Anyone know how to adjust the forum settings?
I seriously forgot. I know when the forum was updated, I selected the sections of the forum that I wanted to see and hid the rest. I can't for the life of me remember how I did that. Anybody know?

My results for this past year
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves: June 12, 2014 - I was 2 weeks postpartum. I had my second precious little boy (c-section). This picture marks the end of my 9 month weight loss break. Every pound I gained during that break was worth it. June 12, 2015 - Ta Da. 1 year later and all the pregnancy weight is gone…

Attempted a 2 Mile Run for the first time
My local YMCA hosts monthly runs. They vary in length and always have a theme to them. I have been working up to being able to run a 5k, so I thought I'd try this months run. The theme was "Run with Mom" for Mothers Day. Mom's didn't have to pay a registration fee and were given flowers at the end. Anyway, as the thread…

Craving pizza!!! What to do?
Make a pizza of course. It's not within my budget (calorie and money) right now to order a pizza, so I made one instead. A yummy buffalo veggie pizza.

13.7 lbs lost :D
I wasn't able to make the 20lbs loss for this challenge, but I never thought I realistically would. My goal was to lose at least 10lbs. I'm happy to say I lost 13.7lbs. I don't have a picture from Jan 1st, but I have one from Jan 18th which is the next best thing. I've put it next to some pictures from March 28. And this…

Saw this at the gym
And thought some of you might get a kick out of it: edit: Actually, my husband pointed it out to me, but it gave us both a good laugh.

Squats - Pinched feeling at hip joint when hitting parallel
Just curious if anyone has experienced this before. I go into a squat and at about parallel, I start to get a feeling around my upper left thigh by the hip joint as if something is being pinched. It's a recent development and even happens with just body weight. I'm not really sure what to make of it. I did do a google…

I'm so glad I found this website. :D
Seriously, I probably wouldn't be were I am today without it. I started working on my weight in 2012. I was 260lbs and had just had my first child (c-section). I had no clue what I was doing so I cut out just about everything. Chicken and lettuce with raspberry vinaigrette were staples of my diet for a good 6 months or so.…

Anyone want to help me estimate the calories?
So I went (against my better judgement) to an Asian Buffet today and the place doesn't have calorie information anywhere. Anyway, this is what I had: There was one other plate that I forgot to snap a pic of. If I take a guess this is what I'd say was on it: - 1 Teriyaki Chicken Stick - 1.5-2 oz Seafood Combination (mostly…

First Swimsuit I've worn in years.
I think the last time I wore a swimsuit was in Recently we got a family membership to our local YMCA. The main reason for the membership was so we could lift heavy things and have someone watch our kids while we do it. To make it even better, there is an indoor pool. :love: This meant for the first time in a long time, I…
