Weight Watchers Dropout
Four years ago I lost a ton of weight just eating better and exercising. In September 2016, I tore my ACL which started a slow demise into gaining my weight back. The following year, right after I had fully recovered from my ACL reconstruction, I got pregnant! So on top of the 10-15 lbs I gained while recovering, I gained…

Tangible Inches Lost In A Month?
A healthy weight loss is supposedly about 1 lb. a week. Meaning about 4 or 5 lbs. a month eating properly and working out. What would be the equivalent in inches? I know it is dangerous to store so much fat in the midsection and I am looking to lower my hip measurement in the next couple of months. I was hoping for a 4…

Marinated Veggies-Healthy or Not?
I have been on a marinated mushroom kick for snack. The sodium is outragious but the cal count is low. I am thinking I want to make my own pickled veggies because I know it just be better for you doing it with fresh veggies. But is this really a healthy snack or am I shooting myself in the foot?

Getting Out of Vacation Mode- Detox or Not?
I just got back from vacation where I ate and drank bad stuff. I wouldn't say I gorged but my diary would definitely be an embarassment if I had managed to log every single thing.

Getting Married in October
I think this is it. This could finally be my year when I keep my piehole shut and get all of this weight off.

I want to walk down the aisle proud of my…

Arm Workouts
One of my biggest problem areas (like most women) is my arms. I have been focusing on tricep exercises primarily because that is where there is the most sag. I try to avoid shoulder exercises because mine are really weak and end up hurting me long term afterward even when the exercise is done properly. Can anyone give me…

Exercise Is On Point But My Eating Sucks
So for the past two years I have been consistent about going to the gym, but because of my eating habits and drinking, I have not lost any weight or cannot keep it off once I do. I should be a rail by now but because I cannot control myself on weekends, I am not. I have decided that I need to cut our alcohol all together…

Looking For That Extra Push
So I have been a part of MFP for a while but have just recently made a change to try and use it everyday. So far so good but I need extra help then just tracking my food and exercise. I have great friends and family who are always telling me they can see a change and admire my dedication to the gym, but its not enough! I…
