Ladies: Do you consider your pregnancy weight your starting weight?
I've been counting my highest weight as my highest non pregnancy weight. I'm just curious what other people go by.
-
Am I sabotaging myself or just getting comfortable?
I've been at this awhile. Highest weight was 230, currently about 165. I want to lose another 15-20 pounds. My workouts are good, 4-6 days a week with a mix of weight lifting and assorted classes. My problem is my eating and drinking. I plan my meals and pre-log, I do great during the week usually. Weekends I often don't…

A small problem with IIFYM
So I've been at this a year. I work out 5 days a week. 2 days lifting class and 3 days cardio classes like spin. I eat around 2000 calories a day. I also have a fitbit and 2 small children. I'm pretty active. I'm down 60 pounds with another 20 or so to go. I am currently 170 pounds, 5'6 and a size 10. I was at a party on…

Down 4 sizes or 8? I've never understood this
I started at a size 20 and now I'm down to a size 12. So would I be down 4 pants sizes as there is a size 12, 14, 16, 20. Or am I down 8 pants sizes as 20-12=8? I feel like an idiot asking this but I've never really understood what people mean when they say that. I don't even plan on using the term.

runny nose while doing cardio?
Is this normal? When I do intense cardio my nose won't stop running. I did a spin class today and it was bad. If it is normal, how the heck do I get it to stop?
-
Will you power through to the goal or take a break?
I'm curious if people here are planning on taking a break from the weight loss anywhere along the way. I'm .2 pounds from the halfway mark and I wonder if I have it in me to lose the other 40 pounds without stopping. I'm playing with the idea of eating at maintenance for a week or two when I get to my 3/4 point.
-
I'm curious, what work's for you?
I want to clarify a bit. Everyone loses weight by burning more than they consume. But I'm curious what you're doing in terms of eating, exercise, calories, macros that is fitting into your lifestyle and allowing you to lose weight. Myself. I had to ditch the 6 small meals. I started doing much better after I switched to…

smart comebacks needed
I've heard from a couple people that I'm not losing fast enough. I'm averaging 1.5 pounds a week, and have lost almost 20 in the last 3 months. It makes me so angry to hear that I should have lost more for all the effort I'm putting in, or I eat too much or should eat 1200 max, cut everything out and go cardio crazy. I…

Raw meat or cooked meat?
I've been weighing my meat out for awhile now and I always weigh it cooked, but it occurred to me that the weight is probably for raw. Most entries and labels don't specify if it's for raw or cooked so I'm assuming it's all for raw values? How do you log meat? Why is this so hard for me to figure out?

33 year old canadian mom with 50 pounds to lose
That pretty much sums it up, I have an almost 3 year old and a 9 month old and I'm 24 pounds down, 56 more to go. I would love more friends, especially people who have a sense of humour. I'm working out 4-6 days a week and eating between 1700-2000 calories a day. Add me!

Looking for friends
I had my son one month ago today on July 22nd and I've already lost 27 of the 30 pounds I gained. I have another 30 (at least) to lose once the baby weight comes off. I have a 2 year old as well and my plan is to walk walk walk for now, stop eating like I'm still pregnant and when I'm cleared for exercise in another 2…

I would love some more friends for motivation and support. I'm working to turn around my diet right now and to stop eating like I'm pregnant. I can still only…

Breastfeeding Calories
I had my baby July 22 and am already down 22 of the 30 pounds I gained! How many calories should I be eating? Set it to maintenance and let breastfeeding be my deficit or should I set it to lose .5 a week? What's your plan?

What do you count as your starting weight
I was in the process of losing weight on MFP when my husband and I had our little surprise =) I had lost 45 pounds from my full term pregnancy weight of 242 with my daughter and was trying to lose at least another 25 pounds, preferably another 45 pounds. Anyways my weight always bounced around between 3 or 4 pounds. Would…

Pregnant ladies?
I would love some pregnant friends on here, I'm 6 weeks right now and would like to have a healthy weight gain this pregnancy. Last time around I got huge! I'm hoping that by exercising and watching my calories this time I can keep my weight gain to a minimum. Last pregnancy mostly included cheeseburgers and lying on the…

Working out while pregnant
I'm about 6 weeks pregnant, I was doing the 30DS and walking on a regular basis when I found out. I have no idea what safe workouts are while pregnant, walking is obviously okay but what about the 30DS? Last pregnancy I was a lump on the couch eating cheeseburgers and gaining weight, this time I'd like to be active and…
