When did you see the difference?
I've lost 5% of my body weight and can't see a difference in the mirror or in the way my clothes fit. I'm a little discouraged, but know it's probably just too soon. Right? When did you start to see a difference?

Advice on post-partum wrapping/bands
My second child is due in a couple of weeks, and I'd like to do some sort of compression afterward. I'm overwhelmed by the variety and price of some of these bands! I've heard the Gold's Gym belts at Walmart are just as effective... but I don't want to sacrifice effectiveness. Any advice from Mommy's who have tried? What…

New to weight lifting but not sore the next day?
I'm new to weight lifting (I'm two weeks in to this program: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/12-week-beginners-training-routine.html), but I'm already getting addicted because of the way it makes me feel!

I've been reading alot about the benefits of weight training, and it's something I love to incorporate into what I'm doing.

If 3,500 calories = 1 Pound then WHAT am I doing wrong?
In the past 5 days I've had a 4,438 deficit. But I gained a 1.2 pounds. What?!? I know my calculations are pretty spot on because I have a Body Media Armband and count every single thing I put in my mouth. I excercise (treadmill, water aerobics, and pilates) almost daily and, although I haven't completely given up soda, I…

30 pounds by my 30th Bday (27 away weeks)
I've reset my ticker and my mindset! No more logging calories only on occasion or skipping the gym because I'm too tired! My birthday is about 27 weeks away... that's just a little over 1 pound per week. I can do this! Anyone who has done something similar, I'd love to hear from you! :happy:

tummy pics after 70lb+ weight loss?
Okay ladies (and gentlemen), I'm getting discouraged despite my slow and steady weight loss. The problem? The skin around my tummy isn't as tight as I'd like it to be (I had a baby 8 months ago, could that be a factor?) I still have about 70 pounds to lose to and I'm afraid the problem will get worse! :ohwell: For you…

My first mini goal is in about 12 weeks! I want to reach my pre-pregancy weight. I did the math, and I'll have to lose about 1.5 pounds PER WEEK to do this, no exceptions! :noway: I know it's *possible*... for some people, but what about *real* people like me? If you've had comparative results for such an extended amount…

I've tried it two days in a row, and haven't been able to keep up either day :-( She talks about not stopping during the entire workout, but I simply can't keep up with her (even following the beginner) Has anyone else had this problem? Should I even consider these "attempts" as days completed? I'm not sure I will be able…

Running HURTS!!
I'm not one to complain, but if I'm being honest I HATE to run!! But I REALLY want to change that. Right now, I can only do 4mph for about a minute... it's that bad, ya'll!

Anybody finished the C25K Challenge? I need advice!
I just got a new treadmill and did the first day today... I'm 28 and new to running so I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is normal. During the joggin portions (1 minute at a time) I could only do 4 mph and even that made my shins and feet hurt. I more than willing to work through the pain, but only if I'm not doing…
