Goodbye fat clothes!
After losing 30 pounds, I was very reluctant to give up my "fat clothes" --God forbid--what if I needed them again? Fortunately, I have two pregnant co-workers who needed them much more than me, so I gave them all away! Well...these last few months have been rough...I haven't been tracking like I should and I have gained 6…

Diet Soda???
Broke down and bought a Diet Mountain Dew today. I haven't had caffeine like this in nearly a year...but between the first week of school and work, I was in desperate need of a pick-me-up! If you see me running around like a rabid squirrel--its the caffeine LOL. I'm hoping I don't get addicted to the energy! How do you…

Please help! I cant figure this out.
Hello all! Since November 2010, I have lost 28 lbs through diet and exercise, and have done really well. However, the last two months have been EXTREMELY tough. Rather than the usual ~1lb loss a week. I have been lucky if I lose 1 lb in three weeks. About a month ago I tried calorie cycling and it really kick started a few…

Before and DURING pictures!
I should probably wait to post pics until I am further along in my weight loss journey, but I am just too excited to wait! I am a little over halfway to my goal. I started out at 187 in November 2010 and am currently at 160. So I have lost 27 lbs, and have 25 more until my goal of 135. It is pretty hard for me to post this…

Why am I losing weight??
Ok, so I have been on MFP for about 3 months now, and in the past 2-3 weeks, I have sort of (really) slacked off. I havent been working out as much--around 3-4 times a week (I was working out around 5-6 days a week). Workouts usually consist of either JM Ripped in 30, elliptical or walking. My diet has also not been great…

Ripped in 30 - WHOA!
Can you say HO-LY COW!!! Just finished my first day of JM new Ripped in 30 and it got me SWEATING! I have been doing 30 day shred for a while now, but this last week I have been pretty lax. So I kicked it into gear today with her new Ripped in 30 DVD and WOW! It is at intense workout! Has anyone else tried it out there?…

Carbs Farbs....
The past two days I have gone over in carbs, and I hadn't been in the past few weeks. I don't feel that I have eaten too unhealthy (ignore yesterday-at 7pm I had 500 cals left to meet goal so decided to 'graze' through the cabinet to try to get closer to goal), but when I noticed today was over on my carbs as well...it…

i think my scale is bipolar...
Ok, so I can stand on my scale five different ways and get five different readings. Can anyone recommend a CONSISTENT scale that does not have any decision-making problems? LOL!:tongue:

Opinions on Propel Fitness Water
Hey everyone, the water at my work tastes horrible due to old pipes, so today I put a Propel packet in my water so that I will actually drink it. I dont have a problem drinking actual water at home since it doesnt taste bad, but need a solution for every day at work. Do you think this is an 'OK' substitute for water JUST…

Missing link! Munchies and clothes!
So Thursday and Friday I found myself munching alllll day long at work. Take a look at my food diary if you wish, lol my snacks are about a mile long. Well I think I found the missing link...it was the clothes I was wearing! We are required to wear business casual clothes at work usually, but on Thursday and Friday we were…

High Heart Rate Question
I have a naturally high heart rate (I say that, but its probably just that I have been out of shape for so long, I just dont remember having a low heart rate!) But anyways, my resting rate (in the morning) is around 90 and during the day it hovers around 110 from normal activity. When I work out, it usually goes to around…

How often do you work out?
Today is my 6th day in a row to work out and I have burned at least 400-600 each day...its a record for me, and I am proud! But I know that when I miss a day, I am going to feel guilty. How often do you work out? And does it help to have a 'rest day'?

water... water... water...
I have a very hard time getting enough water in each day so I have been trying a few different things. Today I think I found my secret weapon...water bottles! I have just been refilling a 16.9 oz water bottle and aim for at least 4 bottles a day. I am finding that since I can SEE the water, as opposed to my normal white…

I FEEL FULL!!
So I should be doing homework right about now, but I had to share. For the first time in days, I actually feel full! And I only went over my calories by very little! Changing my eating habits has been so tough for me, and I am really bad about late-night munching, so I am so glad to NOT feel hungry or have my normal night…

When will the scale ever change!??
Ok, So I have been on MFP for almost a month now. Watching what I eat, making sure to exercise, staying within or slightly above my 1200 calorie limit, etc. And all this time, I have only lost about 3 pounds. Maybe I am expecting too much? Maybe I am gaining muscle? I have SEEN a slight change in my physique but the scale…

Please Help!
Hey everyone! So, I got the cheaper S7 heart rate monitor from walmart ($37). I have always had a very high heart rate....resting is usually around 90...I know, not great! Anyways, when I use this HRM when exercising, my heart rate will usually go up to around 160-180 and therefore it says I am burning calories out the…

I am determined!
Hello everyone! I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I have tried to lose weight many times and consistently fail. This time will be different! Myself and many co-workers are participating in a "Meltdown" and I am hoping their support will keep me going. It seems as though this site is full of support as well, so…
