Goodbye...
Scale. I am now using the measuring tape as a measure of my HARD work... Off the emotional rollercoaster that has ONLY sabotaged my efforts ever since my plateau from HELL began in August of 2011.
-
Any plateau breakers out there?
Soooo...To make a LONG story short, I lose 26 pounds from Jan 2011 to August 2011 using MFP the way it should...Tracking my food, drinking my water, exercising and logging it, eating back my exercise calories and so on... Since September of 2011...NADA. Always gaining and losing the SAME 5 pounds. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. In…

Got naps?
Argh. I am embrassed but I am a total nap addict. I am the the mom of 4 and half year old twins who are hyperactive and always on the go. We are currently in the process of getting them evaluated for Autism...It's been a LONG Journey to say the least. They still don't sleep their nights and are up at 5:30 am. To make a…

Running in the Cold?
So I have embarked in perhaps the biggest challenge yet...Starting the couch to 5k 9 week program on active.com...With my FIRST 5k in March :) I live in the very, icy cold climate that is Vermont... What gear should I get in order to keep comfy, warm and on the go! Thanks :) E

Gluten/Casein Free diet?
Good morning, This isn't weight loss related but we are embarking on the GFCF diet as my boys, who haven't been diagnosed with anything but possible ADHD and a language delay, fit the profile of being "intoxicated" by the foods we eat. - Unable to sleep at night -Hyperactivity -"Always on the go" - "Glue" ear -dark shadows…
-
RIDICULOUS.
I will sound like a broken record...Have been whining about my plateau for MONTHS...Found the scale (had given it to big Daddy to hide...But an addict will do anything to find her fix) and guess what? Started last January 23rd and lost 25 pounds by August. SINCE THEN I HAVE GAINED 5 POUNDS. 5 F-IN POUNDS!!! Zig-zagging,…
-
BMR?
SO SO confused.... If my BMR is 1602 (35,female,187 pounds,) and I want to lose another 30 pounds...How many calories should I eat??
-
Only...
25 pounds lost out of my original 2011 goal of 60 but I am VERY proud of my hard work and determination...In the past year I have learned how to differentiate between emotional and physical hunger, have kicked the bad habit of eating the kids leftovers and have rediscovered my Love for exercise including my BFF the…
-
Zumba Love!
Hi everyone, So I think I am in love...ZUMBA!! The music, the choreography, the latin dancing...:) Anyone else in Love? E ;)
-
Do you think it's possible, just possible?
That perhaps some people can't eat their exercise calories back due to metabolism, body type, ect? The numbers on the scale keep going up for me and this despite the fact that I work out hard and log all my foods... When I was on WW they told us we could only eat up to 10 exercise points per week...And I lost... Since…
-
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND CONFUSED!!!
Have been on a Plateau since JUNE!!! Can you believe it June???? I drink 8 cups of water a day, I work out at least 4 times a week (elliptical & Zumba and sometimes Bikram Yoga) and i log in my food!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON?! I have had to hide the scale because if and when I do weigh myself I get so upset, my whole day is…
-
WW exercise points?
Hi everyone, So when I was on WW, I remember I could eat only a certain amount of "exercise points" a week, I think it might have been 25? The scale has NOT budged in forever and I always eat all my exercise calories...Could this be why? i even tried to break this plateau last week by not exercising and eating what I…
-
Early workouts?
Good morning :) Just wondering if anyone out there wakes up VERY early to workout before they start their days? I think it might be time to set the alarm clock VERY early and hop on the elliptical first thing in the am...What I find the most challenging, actually 2 things, are my 4 year old twin boys who manage to crawl in…
-
How do we start a group?
Not sure how to do it??
-
Still confused...
Good morning.... So....The scale is going down VERY slowly...And I am wondering if it is because I eat all my exercise calories every day? I know in terms of metabolism, eating too low calorie in not a healthy option but I am at a loss about the SLOWWWWWWWW LOSS :( E
-
Major DOWN...And not the "right one"
The "right one" being the scale...No. This Down is the result of a few weeks in the making...The scale not going down fast enough...My relapse to emotional eating...A 3 pound weight gain in the last couple of days... First, I am still kinda confused with the exercise calories being eaten or not and also by the fact that I…
-
Are carbs making me unable to lose weight?
I have been working SO hard for the past 6 months and have only lost 23 pounds. Don't get me wrong, I am incredibly proud of my achievement...But. Before the twins were born, all I had to do to lose weight was drink lots of water, watch my portions and exercise. Now I feel like I am working twice as hard with twice as less…
-
Plateau?
Good morning fellow MYP buddies :) It seems my body has shut down on the weight loss front...Since January, 2011 I have lost 21 pounds but since June 6th...NADA. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING. I work out almost daily (burn 600 calories) and keep my caloric intake in check.... WHAT IS GOING ON?! E
-
Creamies?
Hey everyone, So with summer finally here in Vermont, I am enjoying a small creamy ice cream cone once in a while... Does anyone know under what food name it would be under? The size is small, Thanks :) E
-
Exercise calories?
Good morning, I am VERY confused over here... My calorie goal is 1200 calories a day which means when I work out (5 times a week) and burn 500 calories on my elliptical my total goes up to 1700 calories...Does this mean I should be eating only 1200 calories or 1700 calories to lose weight? MY SCALE IS STALLED AND HAS BEEN…
