Logging a Gain or Loss Over & Over & Over Again
I'm just going to put it out there. I have been hovering at 129.6-133 lbs since July and it's Dec now ~ 5 months. Every week is the same. I log a loss (YAY!) then a gain (NO!) over and over like a broken record. I'm probably one of the most positive pals on here, but really though . . . how long will this last? Patience is…

Who's Ready to Double Shred BEFORE & AFTER Thanksgiving!?!
We have 3 days before Thanksgiving and guess what we can still get it done! Whether you want to squeeze in the 3 days before Thanksgiving or after it ALL counts in this week 2 (not many weeks left in 2011). You will feel a sense of accomplishment that you stuck to the routine. All I ask for is 3 :noway: days this week of…

How did you do to reach your goal? The last 10lbs.
Its seems super easy at the beginning once you get your mind right to start an exercise program and healthy choices/clean eating at the beginning (because you shocked your body and made a lifestyle change). What have you done for the last 10 or less lbs when you are probably at or close to your healthy weight range? I have…

Summer is Ending now WHAT!?
Okay my past issue is a yo-yo weight gain/loss each year. I get it off then it all comes back especially toward the end of the year. When all the sweet succulent holiday foods come back. Also (for some of us) when the weather gets cold you want something hot/warm like soups (full of sodium!), breads (carbs! Eeeck!),…

Zumba for Xbox Kinect - problems?
Okay I'm pretty technically savvy but does anyone else have problems with this game and recognizing 2 players or even one player. We spent half the time trying to get it to recognize 2 players (by waving our hands for 5 minutes or so). I just want to know if it's the game, our kinect, or what. If others have this problem…

Plateau or No? Help!
I have read everything there is to be read about plateaus. Zig-zagging, upping calories, switching workouts, eating exercise calories (netting close to 1200/day), drink water, lower sodium, attempting to lower sugar. Now what? :sad: I have been at the same weight with some fluctuation for a month. I need some solid advice…

How Important is a Rest Day?
The reason I'm asking this is because I haven't taken 1 day off in the past 3 weeks because I'm to that point where I just want to reach my goal. I have worked out 7 days a week only because I can't imagine not exercising right now. I feel like I lose precious calorie burning time if I take a day off. Many people have said…

This Time I'm Keeping it Off!
Since turning 30 yrs old (2 going on 3 yrs ago) and having 2 kids I have found myself in a vicious cycle of losing than gaining, losing than gaining weight over and over again. I actually enjoy exercising and have always been athletic. I have the drive and motivation at times, but get sidetracked with my crazy schedule. I…
