My 1 yr anniversary success story
I just completed my 2nd 5k and all I can say is, Wow, what a difference a year can make! 1 year ago today I was starting at 263lbs and was completely unhappy with how I looked and the lack of clothes I had to wear. Nothing was fitting comfortably anymore and I would long all week for the weekends and sweatpants. I really…

Body Combat and weight gain
Has anyone else been doing the Beachbody 60 day body combat challenge and noticed weight gain? I'm taking measurements tonight to try to hopefully see some difference in inches but to go from exercising 3x / week to 4-5 and gain a few lbs? Really??!! I'm busting my butt here (hopefully) and I'm not seeing the scale move. I…

Running with a puppy/dog
Has anyone had luck running with their dog? I googled when to start running with a dog and it said 18 months! I'll check with her vet too but I have a very active 9 month old lab that I'd like to start running with. I'm a slow jogger so I really think running would help get some energy out. Anyone else start running with…

40 lbs lost to never be found again
Hello my fellow MFP'rs! Today was a wonderful day as I got on the scale 1st thing this morning and I saw 223! Officially 40 lbs lighter than my start on 5/18! I was very excited and decided that today I would finally post my before & during pictures. No crazy diet fads, just old fashioned portion control and staying within…

Tired of this being so hard...
I'm very thankful for the weight I have lost since the end of May but over the last month I'm finding this a lot more difficult to stick to it. I'll have one cheat meal on a weekend and it will blow my weight loss for the week. It's very frustrating to read people posting that you need to eat 3000 over to gain a pound.…

Question for the ladies
Little TMI but am curious as to how others deal with this. Every month when I have my TOM I feel completely famished and have 0 energy. This month was particularly bad. My cravings during this time are off the richter scale. I don't indulge in everything and still try to stay within my macros but it's driving me crazy!…

The platteau I've been trying to prevent...
I think I've hit that plateau that I've been trying to prevent. I thought I'd stay one step ahead of my body by changing by workout schedule. I went from the gym to this couch to 25k program last week and have now plateaued. I am so overweight and I should be losing a lot faster than I am and definately not plateauing!…

Feeling bloated but still losing
After feeling this way for almost a week I have to ask, has anyone ever been painfully bloated but still losing lbs? I'm drinking more than enough water with this heat and really didn't change my eating, except maybe less because I've been traveling and didn't want to eat junk concession food. For you females, I'm not…

Frustrated, PLEASE HELP!!
I need some help! I’ve hitting the end of my 5th week today and am just not seeing a lot of results. I’ve only lost 11 lbs. Problem is that my SW was 263 so I would think being huge, that I would see more results. I’m eating within my calorie goals, exercising 4-5 days a week either at the gym or at home and not eating…

Tired due to poor eating over the weekend?
I am completely exhausted today and I can't help but wonder if it's due to the double cheeseburger (homemade) and slice of cheese pizza I had yesterday. I also had a bad dinner on Saturday due to my husbands b-day. I couldn't get up for my morning workout and felt like I was falling asleep on my way to work even with the…

Entering exercise into daily log
Has anyone noticed that with the excercise section, the calories burned on here comes up a lot higher than the machine tells you in the gym? I've been overiding it to the lower amt but I was just curious.

Just starting out
I'm just starting out with the fitness pal app and exercising again. I lost all my baby weight + a little more 8 year ago by the Atkins program, losing 70 lbs. After realizing how unhealthy it was, I started eating carbs again and packed all of it back on, plus a little extra. Even after just a few days I feel better…
