Beating the mind block!!!!
Ok, until I posted this group, I thought that I was the only one struggling to get out of the 190s. However, I have realized that there are several others in the same trap. I have been asking myself why? Is it because we do not exercise enough? Is it because we eat too much?? Are our bodies just comfortable here? I know…

logging weigh ins...............
I am a person who needs to weigh daily, I know a lot of you will argue with me and that is fine. However, I believe that we need to do what works for us! This keeps me motivated and in check! So to those of you who weigh daily, do you log it each time you show a loss or do you just have a certain day a week you log it?

Weekends
Weekends are the hardest times for me. For the past 3 months, I have gained and lost the same 8 pounds over and over again. First of all, we eat out a lot on the weekends.

HELP....can not exercise right now
I hurt my knee yesterday during a Zumba class. I honestly should have known better, but I am trying to get my body into shape. I have been averaging 10 miles a day on a bike, I can not even do that right now. Last time I hurt my knee, I gained 40 pounds quickly! Partially b/c of medicine the Dr put me on but mostly due to…

HELP....which number is correct?!?!?
When I ride the bike at the Y - it asks me how much I weigh and that is it. Then, it calculates the calories burned during the workout. When I key my minutes in on MFP it gives me a much larger number. For example, when I rode the bike for 30 minutes tonight, the machine said I burned 135 calories - but when I keyed it in…
