Stuck and don't know what to do. Help.
I started using MFP March of 2011. When I first started I didn't have any problems losing weight. I got married March 2012 and started to slack a little bit.

When should I notice results?
I know that with anything exercise results aren't immediate. But I started doing leg lifts and reverse crunches yesterday to try and get rid of (or at least tighten up) my c-section belly. If I do these every day, when should I start to see results?

My first NSV
I went tonight to buy and new pair of workout pants bc my other ones were to big. Well my others were a size 3x so I figured I would just need one size smaller. So I bought a 2x. I didn't try them on until I got home and once I put them on they were to big. I guess I've lost more than I thought I have. Good thing I only…

New to elliptical machine
I started using an elliptical machine today. This is the first time I've ever used one so I'm not used to it yet. Is it better for me to push through and do a long workout at once or is it ok if I do 3 or 4 five min. sessions? After 5 mins I'm sweating and my heart rate is up, I'm just curious if just doing 5 min sessions…

2 months in and I've lost 25 lbs
