NSV-pants size
Finally decided to buy some dress pants for work last week. I was hesitant going into a store that was not W or plus size. I told my daughter I wasn't sure because this store 's clothes are cut small. I was curious though and tried on 14, thinking I would probably need a 16. I bought 2 pairs of 14's. However, this week, I…

Mis-lead or Mis-read LABEL ALERT
I watch lables closely, but I think I was mislead this morning. :( I made hot cereal according to the directions on the box. Then, I went to log the calories and found that it was 190 calories per 1/3 cup and I THINK it made about a cup! 570 calories OUCH! I guess I won't have much for lunch!

Greek yogurt -something I usually don't buy
I tried Greek Yogurt this morning- Almond Cream. Blended with OJ, banana, and ice. Yummy. Now a question- though- I'm thinking of trying a protein powder., but I've never used those before. I assume I could add that to my smoothie. Any suggestions of kind and what else you can use those with?

I lost a month.
Good and bad. I'm back to where I was a month ago-I had probably gained 2-3 pounds. I guess that's a good thing, but a bummer that I lost a month. Now back at it again! I wished I could loose more than 2-3 a month- it just seems so slow! What is your average weight loss a month? Do you post your weight gains or just keep…

Thankful for NSV
I just finished 50 minutes of exercise that no one told me I had to do. I am thankful and proud of myself for hanging in there with MFP for 9 months now. If I have a bad day, I have managed to not give up. I have also managed to enjoy exercising and I kept going through some minor leg injuries. I appreciate everyones posts…

30DS-circuit training- cardio questions...
Do you tend to lose inches, weight or both when doing an exercise like 30DS or circuit training? I'm thinking when I do more straight cardio, I might see a bit more weight loss. Does that seem true? I'm thinking of doing 4-6 days of 30-45 minutes of cardio (walking,jogging,biking) and doing 30DS or circuit, above and…

my goal today is to...
Drink my water, think before I eat, and log everything.

REALITY CHECK - In 6 months, I've ..
... lost 20 pounds and more important- I feel better. Reality check for me, since I get impatient with slow progress. :-). How are you doing?

Remind me.
Cardio for weight loss and weights for toning? If I'm doing 30DS, should I be adding more cardio? Also do Zumba twice a week. And is 30DS considered circuit training? Thanks.

Jillian question
Is there a certain order that you are supposed to do her workouts? Shred, ripped etc.? I'm thinking about ordering the new one that will be released the first part of December but haven't done the other ones.

Excersice question
When your body is used to harder or more intense workouts, do you get any benefits from a slow walk? I walked with my Mom yesterday for 40 minutes at a slower pace, which I logged, but it just didn't seem like i was getting a workout. What do you think?

NSV? I lost...
...My thumb ring! -the one that's been a permanent fixture for years! Thank goodness it wasn't my wedding ring, but it did make me realize my rings are kind of loose. Happy Thoughts to All!

Sometimes I feel like I have more success when.....
... I cheat more often. UHG! Like Mexican/Margarita's once a week and a Fast Food Cheeseburger occastionaly. Why is that? Your turn :happy:

Re-evaluate goals
How often or do you re-evaluate goals? I had dropped my calorie to 1100 for awhile, but I've nudged that back up a bit to 1150 (MFP recommended 1200) And since I'm watching carbs, I brought that down some too. I realized my exercise goals were a bit off, so adjusted those too. Just wondering what your thoughts are on your…

NSV question
I had a compliment from someone we tailgate with today and it surprised me. Although I'm happy about the compliment, I'm most happy about the way I feel overall. But I'd really like to know how everyone responds to compliments. Please share.

How do you log.....
Too much cardboard pizza? LOL. A little humor for Friday night! The motivation??? If you fall - get up and keep on going. Wishing everyone the best weekend!

Slow progress
I feel like my progress is so slow compared to others. I am eating a few things that are not healthy, but I feel like I'm doing that in moderation. I stay within my calorie level and exercise 4 times per week. so when I have a treat like a cookie with coffee or a couple beers on the weekend, or a dish of ice scream…

My goal is.....
One pound at a time and I try to loose one pound a week. Seems like when I look at longer term goals, I tend to cheat more. Anyone else like that?
-
.5 REALLY???
Once again- .5 loss. Sometimes it's hard to be patient and I usually have a positive attitude. Self- it's better to loose slow so it will stay off and at least your loosing. JUST SAYING. MFP Family- Any other self motivators would be welcome!

balancing exercise calories and carbs
My Dr. wants me to watch carbs since she considers me pre-diabetic. I have my calories set at 1100. My question is- once I work out tonight I'll gain back some calories, but how does that effect the carbs? thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Calorie question and pm workouts
I typically exercise at night and my calorie goal is at 1200. Im usually close to 1200 cal after i eat dinner and then i exercise after i eat that meal, which adds 2-300 calorie deficit. I find that once I exercise I feel I need to eat part of those calories back. I have been averaging a 1 pound loss per week, which I'm ok…
