I'm getting frustrated
Every day that I log-- which is usually 5-6 days a week-- I log diligently. I do cardio workouts a couple times a week along with weights 2 more times a week. I KNOW I am logging very accurately, using my scale all the time. You'd think after doing this for so long there'd be consistent weight loss but I've been stuck for…

How to make a change?
I know this isn't the best word to use, but I'm experiencing a "plateau." My weight hasn't moved in 2 months, but the good thing is I'm not gaining weight :) I decided to switch things up by incorporating HIIT and more strength training. I do group fitness training for both, in addition to cardio on other days. The common…

How do you deal with resistance to weight loss?
I was able to successfully lose 22 pounds and I've been able to keep it off! I'm pretty proud of myself for that achievement, and know there's still more work to be done. Unfortunately, because of this accomplishment, I've had all kinds of people making comments or doing things which seem like sabotage. In my…

Best way to calculate TDEE
A while ago I read the thread on adaptive thermogenesis (read it, it's informative) and researched TDEE. I'm starting to experience what others are writing about-- my weight has barely budged and it's been some time. Of course, weight loss isn't linear (read that post, too). However, I've experienced this before where my…

stress from work is biggest impediment
I've noticed over the years if I am super stressed at work, I cannot lose weight. I eventually give up trying to maintain calorie counting, weighing/measuring food, exercising, etc. There were times I was so stressed from work, I'd get home and park on the couch and watch cartoon reruns. More recently I had a supervisor…

Counting cals feels like punishment
It feels like I am being punished for eating healthily and keeping track of every single calorie I eat. I just want to make healthy foods and eat proper portions, but sometimes it seems like an impossible task. Example-- I wanted to make homemade fresh summer rolls with chicken or fish. I stuff the rolls chock full of…

It sucks being short
I did some thinking about how I've lost weight in the past and what I can do to improve on losing weight now. However, there was something that did stick out to me. I wonder if being short has something to do with this-- the lowest weight I had was in the 120's and I was much, MUCH smaller back then compared to now. Even…

Anyone still doing this?
Is anyone around still doing this? I've considered squats as part of my exercise regiment, but they don't seem to work well or I am probably not doing them correctly. Any tips?

Any apple-shaped buddies?
hey everyone, Are there any apple-shaped MFP people? I would really like a buddy who's interested in keeping in touch on a regular basis-- at least 3 times a week messaging/mail. I don't care what your age or height is, if you're a mom or not. I just find it valuable to support people whose body types and weight loss…
