Chris Powell's Stax System
I'm away from home a lot during the school year (4 days a week on campus) and I also work over 30 hours a week in a fast food restaurant. I heard about Chris Powell's Reshape the Nation program on Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition and have been researching it for the past two days. I decided that the portion of the…

Not losing?
I've essentially maintained the same weight from about the fall of 2008 to the fall of 2011, which was approximately 250-ish. I had a really hard time getting below that weight but I also didn't gain at all during this time period. In September 2011, I started gaining weight even though my lifestyle habits didn't…

following plan but gaining? help!
I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing, exercising and eating within my limits except for sodium, it's almost impossible to stay on track with that, and I apparently have gained 5 pounds this week. Is this just from the shock of not exercising/eating well to suddenly exercising and eating well? I really hope so…

Anyone in the Iowa/Nebraska area?
Has anyone from Iowa or Nebraska ever heard of or enrolled in Farrell's Extreme Body Shaping? I just signed up and start this Saturday - I'm pretty sure I picked the right thing for me, but it would be nice to hear some firsthand accounts from MFPers! Thanks, guys. :smile:

Healthy Choice lunches
Has anybody else tried the Healthy Choice no-refrigeration needed lunches? They're meant for folks who work and have access to running water and a microwave, so that pretty much means if your place of employment has a break room, this is for you. They come in several varieties, and let me tell you first hand, they're…

Having a hard time.
I just can't seem to care anymore. I'm constantly busy and it seems like I'm constantly eating, too - I feel so clogged and fat and gross. Isn't this why I wanted to lose weight in the first place? Now here I am, several months down the road and doing the same thing I've always done - giving up. What's wrong with me? And…

Fitting it all in - how do y'all do it?!
I was doing so well with my exercise and proper eating before I started working. Now, I have an active lifestyle because of my job, but also because of that I can't seem to muster the energy to keep going long enough to exercise when I get home. All you working folk, particularly those that are on your feet all day (quite…

Having a hard time staying on track.
Like, seriously. I'm an eating machine. I think I've gone over every day and I'm not doing the exercise that I should be. :sad: I'm so bummed because I think that it's starting to catch up to me. I want to get back on the wagon! Motivate me, y'all! (Pss . . . sorry for not sending in my weigh-in yet. I'm utterly afraid of…

I'm so embarrassed . . .
Two days this week, I've eaten almost 3000 calories. No day this week has been really great. I haven't met my exercise goal yet and I feel like crap. To top it all off, this week isn't likely to get better because I'm fast approaching my period. :sad: I had a really awesome week last week. I've lost six pounds in a month.…

The Biggest Loser Cookbook (thought this was appropriate because of the ongoing contest) has a very delicious recipe for sweet potato fries that will definitely cure your craving for delicious fries but without all the calories and fat. :happy: Here's the recipe: Ingredients: 1/2 pound sweet potatoes, cut into 1/4"-thick…

Bought more yoga goodies!
I was at Target this evening with the hubby, in the market for a scale that determines body fat percentages, and I saw that they had a prenatal yoga kit that came with a really good, thick yoga mat (5 mm), a yoga block and strap, and a DVD with a 60 minute prenatal workout and a 60 minute postnatal workout. It was…

can't eat another bite!
I worked my butt off today and I'm PROUD of it! Over 1200 - that's right, 1200 - calories burned from exercise! Whoo! But I can't fit them in my tummy to keep my weight loss consistent. I guess I'll just have to weigh less! Hehe.

My first goal met! (Even if it is a small one)
I met my first goal today and lost FIVE POUNDS! Whooo! That said, I have 103 to go. I can do it and now I actually feel like I'm on my way! :happy: :happy:

Yoga for Weight Loss!
I just bought a yoga for weight loss dvd and a new yoga mat. So far, I'm really enjoying it. It has a 25-minute program that's quite stimulating and enjoyable, meant to be done as a start to your day in the morning. I love yoga and I hate that it doesn't burn very many calories, but along comes a weight loss dvd and I'm in…

Hi, everyone!
I'm fairly new here, I'm in my first week of diet tracking, and so far, so good! I would love to meet some new people to help get me on the path to a more fit me! I'm energetic, sometimes bordering on bubbly, but I think it works for me. I'm 18, I have a 4-month-old son and a 28-year-old husband. We live in Iowa (in…
