Losing Weight but Not Inches - What is the Point?!
I am beyond frustrated. I am losing weight but have actually gained - not lost inches since I've started. What is even the point of losing weight if you're still fat? I've come to realize even at my goal weight I won't look much, if any, better if things continue as they are now. I lost weight once before - didn't…

How Can I Improve
I am not seeing the results I want. I know weight loss is mostly diet. I'm losing about 0.5 lb every couple weeks. I'm not happy with that, but it is what it is until I get over the resistance of being one of those 1200 calorie people. (Already got fabulous advice from you all about what to do in the kitchen - so that's…

Body Mass
Okay so you all gave me some fabulous advice on how to get the scale moving - now I need some help on getting the measuring tape moving. I thought 50 lbs lost would FINALLY be the moment when I went down a pant size because seriously everyone says 10lbs but that's just not the case for me but surely by 50 I would have to…

Meanies of MFP - Bring it On
Okay - I need a smack down. I like to think I am doing everything right, but clearly I am not. I know I need to eat less and move more. I just looked at my progress chart. I've been losing and gaining the same couple pounds since NOVEMBER!! That's absolutely zero progress in 7 months. That's ridiculous. My calorie goal is…

Weightlifting Shoes
Any recommendations for weightlifting shoes? My son's feet hurt when lifting so I want to see about getting him some weightlifting shoes to see if that helps. He often just takes his shoes off, but I thought maybe some proper shoes would help the situation.

Venting - Clothes Sizes
Since my newsfeed is down and I can't whine to my friends I'll whine to the world. :ohwell: I REALLY want some cute new summery work pants since it is starting to get warm around here but I REFUSE to buy the same size or larger pants I wore a year or 2 ago. I was hoping once I hit 50 lbs lost I would finally be able to go…

Bingo Wings - Help!
Okay so I've been been working on strength training and am pretty happy with the changes I'm starting to feel in my arms (it's more a feeling thing than a visual so far - but it is happening!) - but while I actually can flex now and there's something there I still have the wiggle jiggle in the bingo wing area. I've never…

The Grass
Saw this on George Takei's FB today and thought it was so funny - and true. Never thought of it before, but really who is it?!

Starbucks Diet
Okay for everyone who gives me a hard time about going to Starbucks: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/13/starbucks-weight-loss-diet_n_1880453.html Woman lost 85 lbs eating only at Starbucks. I'd go insane w/the lack of variety but they DO have healthy choices - you don't have to just eat the 400 calorie chocolate whip…

Home Gym
So currently my workout equipment is in my bedroom. It's on the 2nd floor so I don't like to bounce around to much and disturb everyone else and I don't really want a weight bench or anything in my bedroom so I don't have one. Lately I've been dreaming of turning part of the garage into a home gym. My cousin needs to move…

Where is the Loss Coming From?
I've lost almost 20 lbs and yet my clothes don't fit ANY different at all. Not a single bit of difference - so now I'm wondering where that 20 pounds I lost was? My arms? My head? My ankles? :laugh: So crazy - definitely didn't come from anywhere that would affect the way my clothes fit - so not off my waist, my hips, my…

Newbie to Geocaching!
Okay I'm going to try this out today! If the weather clears up our plan was to go hiking on the trail behind our house. So last night I looked up geocaching and even if it's not nice there is one just right outside our development so no excuses not to try it! I only have my cell phone GPS - if we like this any…

Newbie!
Just finished law school - took the Bar last week, now it is time to focus on ME! Joined a gym with my son yesterday. I am so out of shape!! Luckily he insists we stay longer than I would if I was on my own. I was doing WW before - but didn't have time to keep up with it and wanted to try something free for a while so here…
