I'm looking for serious suggestions and no rude or sex offensive remarks, please. I want to run or even jog on the treadmill or outside but my bust keeps me from doing that. I'm a 42DD and no matter what I try, it doesn't work. Sports bras don't hold them tight enough to my chest and when I get going they bounce back and…

When I first started this new way of life (eating), I was losing 5-6 pounds per month. Now, I'm only losing 2-3 pounds per month. I've added exercise, supplements and new healthy foods. I just can't lose it the way I was before. I hit a plataue (sp?) and it's like turtle pace now. I've added water, flaxseed, berries,…

My husband bought me a pedometer for Mother's Day because it counts steps and calculates calories burned (the 2 things that I wanted).

Found a solution for drinking more water......
If you're anything like me, I hate water. I don't like it with lemon and I don't like flavored waters because they have too much artificial sweetners in them. Yuck!

Body Bug people - calories burned?
This is going to sound weird, but it's all starting to make sense. I plugged in what I used to eat on MFP and it said that I was eating anywhere from 6,000-8,000 calories a day (before I started dieting). If that was true than I should weigh over 500 pounds, because I loved eating and never worked out. Well, I borrowed my…

What would you do???
MFP says that I should consume about 1,500 calories per day. My diet is so under control that after all my meals and healthy snacks I still have over 400 calories every night. Should I eat something healthy to meet the calories or is it worse to eat before bed? I always hear that you shouldn't eat before bed time and then…
